ACH Rocksssssssssssssss
Amitabh has always promoted Abhishek whenever possible. Will Mithun do the same with Mimoh? “Let Amitabh do that if he wants. If Mimoh is really good, he will succeed on his own.

Mithun invited everyone in B-Town for the premiere of his son’s film except the Bachchans
 |
Last night, at the premiere of Mithun Chakroborty’s son Mimoh’s debut film Jimmy, at Cinemax in Andheri, the who’s who of B-town was present. Barring the Bachchans. Mithun personally called up everyone to come and bless beta Mimoh on his big day.
Abhishek hasn’t had a dream run at the BO. How differently will Sarkar Raaj portray Abhishek?
I’m like the fearless Nadia: Ramu
Do you fear anything?
I’m like the Fearless Nadia. I never take anything seriously. On second thoughts, I’d say I fear being put on a pedestal. If Mani Ratnam makes a flop, Revathy politely says where Mani Sir went wrong. But when my films flop, Revathy simply sends me a message saying: “A kick on your b***”.
We hear that you and Mani Ratnam share a great friendship…
Yes, we share a lot, including a glass of beer. It’s just that we don’t like each other’s films. If someone calls me Ramuji or Ramu Sir, I’ll run to the basins of the Congo. I’m happy being called by my nickname, Ramu After having made Aag,
people won’t place me on a pedestal for the next 10 years. Thereafter, I’ll remake Aag and that will ensure that they don’t address me as Sir for another couple of years either (laughs).
After Aag, do you think you will get financers to produce a remake of Aag?
I’m one super crazy film-maker. I’m sure India has at least another super crazy financer to pump in money.
Sallu or Ullu??

As Akshay was being offered 40 crore, Sallu asked for 50 crore
 |
In a show of one-upmanship, Salman Khan told production house Studio 18, who were keen to sign him for one of their projects, that he’d not accept anything less than Rs 50 crore. Reason? Because they were offering Akshay Kumar Rs 40 crore for an Anees Bazmee project.

Has Katrina Kaif dumped Salman?
Katrina finally seems to be getting away from Salman’s shadow. The year 2007 was indeed special for Katrina as she is the only actress to achieve four back-to-back successes in the year in Namastey London, Apne, Partner and Welcome.
Today she has become the highest paid item girl in the industry paid a whopping 1.5 crore to shimmy in Shree Ashtavinayak’s next film Blue.
The film stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar and Lara Dutta in lead roles.
We hear, when the production house asked her to do an item number, Kaif initially refused, as she doesn’t want the label of an item girl.

Anil Kapoor’s Race Opens To An Excellent Response
.
Race Opens To An Excellent Response Friday 21st March 2008 13.00 IST
Boxofficeindia.Com Trade Network
Race has opened to an excellent response in its early shows today all over India. Race has had a huge release in terms of theatres and shows with over 800 cinemas playing the film.
Many multiplexes are giving the film 16-18-20 shows a day. The great start will ensure bumper business over the first weekend and even a decent follow through will mean huge shares in the first week.
Race is a sure shot and will emerge a universal hit at worst.
I’m a tiger in a cage : Salman
He’s one cool rock star. He’s also the original six-pack guy. He began to take his shirt off and flaunt his washboard abs long before Dard-e-Disco made it fashionable all over again.
So, it’s no surprise when Salman Khan disdainfully trashes the current six-pack fad with, “Even a malnourished person or a mazdoor can have a six-pack. What is important is to have a good muscular body and then move on to get a six-pack! And a stronger mind is more important than a strong body. Training the mind is a lifelong pursuit and without a strong mind, you’ll lack the willpower to get a strong body.”
And it is this ‘strong’ body that women swoon over that one will get to see in Atul Agnihotri’s film Hello based on Chetan Bhagat’s book One Night @ The Call Centre . Yup. Salman’s given his shirt a miss for the dance number Party Like a Rockstar in the film. Says Chetan, “Salman’s playing himself in the film — an actor who is touring various places as a part of a concert series. This was a six days’ shooting schedule in Karjat and Salman stayed up and so did Katrina (who also makes an appearance in the film) to finish their scenes.”
I always get nervous working with Salman: Kareena Kapoor
MUMBAI: Kareena Kapoor, who’s been on a high since the release of ‘Jab We Met’, finally started shooting a new film ‘Main Aur Mrs. Khanna’ with Salman Khan. She says the idea of working with her “sister’s co-star” makes her nervous.
“Although we’ve done Priyadarshan’s ‘Kyon Ki…’ before, I always get nervous working with Salman. He was my sister’s hero long before we were paired together. And now to be doing a film with him,” Kareena said.
Kareena started shooting Tuesday at Film City at the outskirts of Mumbai.
Kareena and Salman were expected to serenade to immortality in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Bajirao Mastani’, but the film never happened.
Salman Khan is set to host a TV reality show, and is being paid Rs 89 crore for it

| Salman Khan |
After Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, now we’ve heard that yet another Bollywood superstar, Salman Khan, will host a reality show on Sony Entertainment Television.
Salman is being paid a whooping amount to host the show. Our well-placed source in the TV industry informs, “Salman will receive Rs 89 crores for 104 episodes.”
UK:Three Bollywood films among high grossers at the box-office
Three Bollywood films among high grossers at the box-office
London (PTI): Three Bollywood films grossed three million pounds in box-office collections last year, according to industry figures.
Indian films Om Shanti Om, Namastey London and Partner are among the foreign productions that are increasingly collecting large sums in Britain, according to the Film Distributors Association.
For several years now, Bollywood films have figured in the Top Ten blockbusters in Britain as Indian producers increasingly use British Asian diaspora themes, locations and production facilities.
The UK is seen as the world’s number one market for Bollywood productions outside India. DVD distributors also cite a growing interest in foreign language films from UK audiences.
Box Office: 2008 still awaits its first hit (I B O S)
Poor trends continue with multiplex release 26 July at Barista opening to minimal opening numbers. The film does not look to have much of a chance.
Last week’s terrorism fare release Black & White failed to make a mark tapering off at 3 crores net. Though the governments of Delhi and Maharashtra and trying to resuscitate it giving tax exemptions there already.
The 50 crore Jodhaa Akbar will finish its run at about 55 crore net at the Indian Box Office, and even those figures are being questioned in light of actual nearly empty occupancies being observed at most of the theater halls. Nonetheless Jodha Akbar may qualify for average ROI status, figuring in the fact that all world distributors are UTV and film has done well overseas, but overall theatrically remains far below the 200% recovery needed for Hit status. The interiors for the magnum opus remain iffy and the film remains out of Rajasthan.
The next big release Race is scheduled for release in a week from now

Satyam,
You are really testing my control putting up all these pics of Ash. Am only human. 
Though I think your taking Aamir lightly here (for once!)
