Ranbir Kapoor in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s next

Vidhu Vinod Chopra had met Ranbir Kapoor in Los Angeles over a year ago.

Ever since that big meeting overseas, there have been a zillion speculations about the Kapoor lad being cast in a VVC production. And now, the filmmaker is finally ready to start off his venture with the actor. Chopra, who is all set to start off his next venture titled Chithiyaan, will cast Ranbir Kapoor and Sharman Joshi in the male lead roles.

The film will also mark Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s return to romance, after a much talked about 1942 A Love Story and Kareeb.

A source informed Mumbai Mirror, “Chithiyaan is a romantic film. It is a love traingle. It is the story of three people – a girl and two boys. Though the lead actress is still to be finalised, Ranbir Kapoor and Sharman Joshi have been asked to play the male leads.”

Housefull 2 MOVES

By Subhash K. Jha, September 28, 2011 – 10:48 IST

It was going to be an unfortunate clash of the titans, now fortunately averted. Sajid Khan’s Housefull 2 was going to be released on the same day as Kabir Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger on June 1.

In a flash-decision taken on Tuesday evening, producer Sajid Nadiadwala has now decided to release his film on April 5, two months in advance.

“It’s a decision based purely on the heart, not on commerce. Sajid Nadiadwala and Salman Khan are like brothers. There was no way Sajid would clash with Salman at the box-office. Sajid thought it better to prepone than postpone Housefull 2. However, it couldn’t be moved back by just a few weeks since there are other biggies lined up in the weeks preceding Ek Tha Tiger. So Sajid has moved back by two months,” says a source close to Nadiadwala.

And never mind if this means Housefull 2 would now have to be completed on a war footing.

John Abraham wants to be the last Action Hero

Essaying the role of a tough narcotics officer, who ensures justice is served in Vipul Shah’s Force ,John Abraham is soon going to be synonymous with the tag of “Action Abraham”.

Audiences are in for a treat as John Abraham gets into an out-and –out action space ,something he feels he is well suited for.

After pouring his sweat and blood into making Force and even performing his own stunts,John is confident that audiences are going to be introduced to some never-seen-before action.

Doesn’t mean that I will go and shake hands with a Don

“This is your third media appearance in four days. Are you trying too hard to sell the film?

I recently tweeted that I am meeting the media so often that I get a sense of Deja Vu everyday. I also said that I get very little time to sleep so now I have decided that I am going to sleep with the media. We can talk whenever we want to and also rest at the same time.

Do you consider yourself a marketing guru?

These terms are nonsensical. Every actor talks about his films. I promote all my films when they are about to release, but I’m no marketing guru. The marketing may be different for different films.

I try to be unique in the way I market my films. I have made RA.One with a lot of passion and hard work and I want the maximum audience to come to the theatres and watch the film.”

Marketing Mausam: Harvest or Divest?

Mausam… There was a barrage of Anti- Mausam comments on my Facebook timeline. I thought, well- most of these guys flow with the tide- so it’s not wise to trust them. The reviews were average to bad to pathetic, but still I decided to go ahead and watch the modern day epic love story (as proclaimed by the publicity team).

I was not really expecting much, just a decent engaging film- even if a bit slow, and a ‘feel good’ feeling when the show ended. But on the contrary, when the show ended, what I got was a mild headache and a multitude of questions pounding my grey cells (which had turned greyer after witnessing the aged romance that lasted 20 reels).

This was what they spent 60 Crores on?

‘Lagaan’ in all time 25 best sports movies list

Aamir Khan’s ‘Lagaan’ which won an Oscar nomination in the Best Foreign Language Film category, has made it to the all-time 25 best sports movies list compiled by Time magazine. The 2001 film, set in the times of the British Raj in India, clinched the 14th spot on the list.

Produced by Aamir and directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, ‘Lagaan’ tells the story of a group of villagers who strike a deal with the representatives of the Raj – if the locals defeat them in a game of cricket they get a break on their

‘lagaan’, or land tax.

“From the thunderclap in the first torrential rainstorm a cue for riotous dancing to the climactic sunlight on the smiling faces of millions of viewers, this Bollywood epic is cause for joy of meteorological proportions,” the magazine says, calling the film “the longest and most enthralling underdog-sports movie ever”.

PRINCE Mahesh Babu-starrer ‘Dookudu’ takes box office by storm (9.20cr on Day1)

The success of Mahesh Babu – Samantha starrer Dookudu at the box office is phenomenal. The trade pundits have predicted that ‘Dookudu’ will turn out to be the biggest hit in the history of Telugu films. And after seeing its mammoth opening, there is no denying that ‘Dookudu’ will break and set records.

‘Dookudu’ fetched a staggering Rs. 9.20 crore on its first day and is expected to set new BO records in the coming days. Mahesh Babu’s fans, who fondly call him Prince Mahesh, have given the movie their thumbs up, and have made him the BO king.

The film’s first week business is expected to surpass the collections of a superhit like Magadheera. ‘Magadheera’ grossed around Rs. 4.5 crore in USA and now ‘Dookudu’ can easily make Rs. 6.5 crore, believe trade analysts.

So, what makes Dookudu such a rage at BO? Obviously, the most important is the star of the film, Mahesh Babu; then the film is directed by Srinu Vytla, who has earned a name for making mass entertainers. The presence of popular comedians Brahmanandam and M.S. Narayana in the film is also an asset, and ‘Dookudu’ has a beautiful heroine Samantha Ruth Prabhu, sharing screen space with Mahesh for the first time.
