Russian model Kristina Akheeva set to make an entry in Bollywood
Deol family had blast last year as their film Yamla Pagla Deewana-starring Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol hit the theatres and garnered stupendous response from the audience.

Now, it is time again for the Deol family fans to jump with joy, as work on the second edition of YPD, starring, the trio again has kicked off. The original director of the riotous comedy Samir Karnik has been replaced by Sangeeth Sivan.

After launching TV actor Kulraj Randhawa in the first film, this time they have roped in Russian hot model-turned-actor Kristina Akheeva, following current fad of casting hot models in Hindi movies. The Russia born and Australian bred actress is a known face in the advertising world.

During her modelling stint she managed to share screen space with the likes of Shahrukh Khan. Last she made the news when she was seen with one of B-town's most eligible bachelors, Shahid Kapoor, at a café in the suburbs of Mumbai.

Just one word of advice we would give you Kristina: Don't go overboard with misleading sightings with any of B-town's young brave hearts. Remember how Angela Jonsson almost lost Sher Khan because of hanging out too much with Ranbir Kapoor!

Teri Meri Kahaani: Movie Review

Director: Kunal Kohli
Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra

If you thought that the concept of a bride running away from the mandap on her wedding day is something that Bollywood discovered at the turn of the decade, filmmaker Kunal Kohli would want you to get your facts right. He takes this present-day Bollywood formula to ancient times and shows that it was the same case even in 1910 with the only difference being that it was the groom, and not the bride, who walked out of the D-day then. Likewise, history keeps repeating itself in his film that spans three different eras to narrate the same love story, thrice.

The first episode has an aspiring musician Govind and a popular film actress Rukhsar besotted by each other on the backdrop of the Hindi film industry of the 60s. The second chapter has Krrish 'virtually' falling for Radha over tweets until a social-networking war pulls them apart. Finally there's the quintessential Punjabi kudi Aradhana for whom the good-for-nothing Javed reforms responsibly in a pre-independent milieu.

While the basic idea of presenting three love stories over three different eras might seem as an interesting idea, Kunal Kohli isn't able to explore it to his merit. Unlike Love Aaj Kal where Imtiaz Ali split the story over two epochs to highlight the difference in perspective of love in the two generations, Kohli isn't able to explore diverse viewpoints or human conflicts over the eras. So while the central idea behind each episode is more or less the same, the difference is merely visual. Alas, the artistic restoration cannot make up for literary loss!

While the level of detailing that is put in the revival of the retro era (with a toy-town type ambiance) in the first track is appealing, if even half of that sincerity was put in the scripting of the entire film, the output would have been more beautiful. The second episode seems like an extension of Kunal Kohli's Mujhse Dosti Karoge with the only advancement being that the couple connects through social networking over online chats. The director keeps the (comparatively) better chapter for the last but all that the duo does under the British Raj is sing-and-dance, not just around the trees, but also inside the jail. Further the film opts for a very convenient end and, before you know, the heroine turns widow so that the hero doesn't have to fight anyone to win her. It's a feel-good film after all, you see!

The storytelling is such that each chapter switches to the next when the lovers fall apart. But when the narrative brings each pair together in the climax, you wonder if they had any problems to start with. That's where you realize that the character conflicts were too shallow and the individual stories lacked novelty.

Shahid Kapoor doesn't disappoint but one expects more from the talented actor. Priyanka Chopra is overtly expressive at times. One could blame their average acts or latent chemistry to the mediocre script. From the three stories, both get better scope in the pre-independent era episode but that's not saying much when they could have been thrice as good. Prachi Desai and Neha Sharma do not get much scope.

'Thrice upon a love story' reads the tagline of the film. This one attempts to thrive upon the same love story thrice but in vain. Teri Meri Kahaani is an ordinary kahaani.

Verdict: Average
rating 2.5/5

Parineeti Chopra talks about her relationship status
Single or Mingled? Speculations have been humming since Parineeti Chopra knocked the door of B-town. Little sister of hot Priyanka Chopra, cute Parineeti Chopra was seen at HCL’s consumer company products in Delhi as goodwill ambassador and ended up revealing about her relationship status.

She declared herself single and said that she is not dating Uday Chopra or Jackky Bhagnani. She was spotted dressed in Pull and Bear denim leggings, a white t -shirt and a green vest and was looking charming and enticing. Parineeti expressed her happiness on being into B-town as an actress as she can now afford cool gadget stuff.

She rejected all the rumors in single breath saying, "I am single. Look for a good guy for me but not a Ricky Bahl type please."

Comfortably confident is Parineeti in her skin and doesn’t get guilty after various announcement of fat is not cool by Kareena Kapoor. She is comfortably cool and speaks, “A am healthy. If a role demands it I will lose weight but I don’t stress."

Parineeti took a turn towards career talks and expressed her desire of working with few bigwigs of tinsel town and the list included Shahid Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor, Imran Khan and her absolute favorite, chhote nawab Saif.

Generally sisters in B-town are considered threat to each other but Parineeti seems to dote on her sis Piggy Chops and says that she never was and never is a disadvantage and is always right.

Well hats off to the sisterhood of soul sisters.

Priyanka Chopra donning a Punjabi avatar in Teri Meri Kahaani
Priyanka Chopra is the only actress of the tinsel town who has received an opportunity to play different roles in a movie. Earlier, the talented diva donned many avatars in her flicks like What’s Your Raashee and 7 Khoon Maaf, keeping the trend up, she is playing three different roles in her upcoming Teri Meri Kahaani.

Helmed by Kunal Kohli and featuring Shahid Kapoor in the lead, Teri Meri Kahaani is all set to hit theatres on June 22nd. A little birdie from the town informed that the actress is thrilled to be a part of this flick which is based on the story of three generations.

The actress is playing the role of a Punjabi woman of 1910 which is very close to her heart. Priyanka is very excited to play the role of Aradhana; she reveals that she has added a personal touch to the role.

As per the industry sources her special Punjabi woman look is designed by Manish Malhotra. On being quizzed on donning a Punjabi avatar in her next, she told the sources, “I wanted Aradhana to be very Punjabi-spoken, so I have used a very Punjabi accent, a few words in Punjabi where she speaks. I wanted her language to be influenced by Punjabi, so hopefully that's come across”.

Priyanka, we can wait enough to see you as a typical Punjabi woman!

Ranbir and Shahid reluctant on pairing with Sonakshi Sinha

Ranbir and Shahid reluctant on pairing with Sonakshi Sinha
Sonakshi Sinha started her career successfully with Dabangg 2, where she was paired opposite Salman Khan who is almost double her age. Moreover, she had once even claimed that she felt comfortable working with older men.

But little did she know that her statement would turn against her and her still to bloom career. The actress in her next film will be seen romancing Akshay Kumar, who also happens to be in his 40s. Now, after working with senior actors, Sonakshi seemed to have rubbed the younger lot in a wrong way.

News has it, that both Ranbir Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor have apprehensions working with Sonakshi as they fear she would look older than them on screen. Few days back there were even rumours that all is not well between Sona and Sasha and it even prompted the former out of Vettai’s remake that features the latter.

So it’s clear that Sonakshi was aware of Shahid thinks of her, but she seems to be unaware of Ranbir’s opinion on her. It is said that once Sonakshi heard about Shahid joking that she would look older than him if they were to do a film together. That’s why she’s said to have declined the remake of Vettai.

And it is said probably that is why Ranbir declined a film, whose producer wanted to cast Sonakshi. We guess Sonakshi needs to do something before it’s too late!
