Saif quits Vishal’s film
The grapevine now has it that the actor demanded some changes in Bhardwaj's script, which did not go down well with the director. On knowing this, Saif recently walked out of the film.
Earlier, when Shahid turned down the role, he told Vishal that he would prefer it if they worked together on Kaminey 2 instead. A source says, "During that time, Shahid also got a good offer to host a TV dance reality show, Dancing With Superstar .
However, he did not accept that either." Dreams is a story, which is narrated in a dream.
Added the source, "Though the plot resembles a bit with the recent Hollywood blockbuster Inception, Bhardwaj was ready with the script of Dreams much before Inception released." When Saif asked for changes, Bhardwaj put his foot down.
Adds the source, "Bhardwaj is a director who sticks to his script and vision. Often, many actors are apprehensive and nervous before signing up for a character in Bhardwaj's films.
Both Saif and Shahid took a long time to say 'yes' to Bhardwaj for Omkara as well as Kaminey. This time too, the role is very challenging but fruitful.
" All said and done, Saif's exit from Dreams is rather shocking, especially because both he and Bhardwaj were reportedly again warming up with one another. Says the source, "Saif was miffed with Bhardwaj for casting Shahid, who happens to be Kareena Kapoor's ex-boyfriend, for Kaminey.
Moreover, after Saif's Langda Tyaagi character was lauded in Omkara, the actor was hoping Bhardwaj would cast him in his next." When asked if he is indeed not doing Vishal's film for Ekta Kapoor, Saif said, "Yes I am not doing the film as of now.
" When asked if it was the script of the film that put him off, the actor chose not to reply. Bhardwaj remained unavailable for comment.
As of now, Dreams stars Deepika Padukone. Another heroine will soon be finalised.
Whether Bhardwaj will offer the hero's role to Shahid again or not, is the million-dollar question
(less)Milind Soman first to lose 'Khatron Ke Khiladi 3'
However, he willingly backed out when he had to go underwater in Rio de Janeiro's Teresopolis Farm to unlock weights hung under a sheet of fire. Even though the stunt may not have been too tough, it was the chilling six degrees temperature of water that held Milind back - and caused his elimination.
"I should have tried more especially because it was a swimming stunt. I could have done it easily," he lamented after he lost.
Apart from Milind, funnyman Cyrus Broacha and former supermodel and actor Rahul Dev too had underperformed. However, they gave up much later than Milind, who withdrew from the stunt within less than three minutes.
The third season of Fear Factor -Khatron Ke Khiladi went on air on Monday with Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra as the new host. The 28-year-old actress sports a grungy look in the show, and seems to be trying a bit too hard to throw attitude to match up to action hero Akshay Kumar, who had hosted the past two seasons of the deadly show.
But her softness came through the tension for the safety of the 13 contestants on the show. But if sources are to be believed, she is supposed to be quite a whip-wielding dictator in Rio de Janeiro where all the stunts are being shot.
The ongoing season was earlier supposed to have cricketers as contestants but now it boasts of hot male celebrities like Dino Morea, Rahul Bose, Shabbir Ahluwalia, Karan Singh Grover, filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor, car racer Armaan Ebrahem and squash champion Ritwik Bhattacharya, apart from actor Manjot Singh, Cyrus and Rahul Dev. Each male celebrity is teamed up with one non celebrity female contestant

For the show, a 300ft boardwalk was created in an empty car park in Brooklyn, New York, complete with bars, restaurants and a salt taffy shop. But spending such a huge amount of money making the series has already paid off for HBO, as it has already become their best-selling series internationally and the rights have been licensed to 160 countries
(less)Hera Pheri 3 can't afford Akshay
Now Abhishek plays Akshay Kumar's role. Nana Patekar has stepped into Paresh Rawal's role, And Sanjay Dutt plays Suniel Shetty's part.
This, according to Nadiadwala, would remain the lineup of actors for the Hera Pheri films to come. The parting with Akshay over Hera Pheri has left Feroz distressed.
"I first started discussing the third Hera Pheri movie with Akshay in 2006. I never wanted to make it without him.
It's sad that we couldn't come to an agreement. Akshay is like a brother.
But I can't afford him.I hope we work together again very soon.
Feroz is delighted with the script that Anees Bazmi has come up with the new Hera Pheri film."It's going going to be one of the funniest comedies in living memory," promises Feroz

While the rest of the world is busy with the Bole Chudiyas and Mahi Ve, I thought why not revisit a beautiful track from the past?" said Shweta. The show has Iqbal Khan and Bini Sharma in lead roles while Additi Gupta plays Iqbal's former fiancee in the show, who dumps him due to his aggressive behaviour and is getting married to someone else
(less)Milind gets a wild card re-entry in KKK3
The 44-year-old gave up sooner than anyone on the show when asked to do an underwater stunt in Rio de Janeiro's Teresopolis Farm. A national level swimmer, many were touting him as the likely winner.
After performing poorly, Milind claimed that it was the chilling six degree temperature underwater that caused his early elimination and expressed his lament at the loss. But the actor has a reason to smile now, as he will be back soon on the show to face danger with an improved attitude
(less)Era of villains is over, says Ashutosh Rana
"Cinema is a reflection of society, and as society changes so does our creativity. Earlier there would be a good guy and a bad guy.
Our villain would be a dacoit, a lender, and our hero would be a police officer, a teacher. "Then things changed, rich people and smugglers became villains and police and other people became heroes," Rana said in an interview.
Larger-than-life images of yesteryears' villains who went on rampaging the life of a hero, raping his sister and molesting his girlfriend were a regular feature of almost all the films. But times have changed and the 45-year-old actor says that the bad guy in movies these days has shades of grey and even the hero has ceased to be all-good.
"Now a common man is a hero, he is half good and half bad. And the villain now is also not an out-and-out bad guy.
He is a hero for his friends and villain for his enemy; the portrayal is very subjective," he said. Rana further said that over the years the concept of a hero has also changed, who is no longer simply a honest good man.
"The concept of hero has changed. If you ask me where is that villain, I ask you where is that hero," he said.
Even as Rana argues that the bad guys are not all that bad in films, he is all set to play a evil villain on the small screen this time. The actor, who started his career with Swabhimaan , will be playing Keshav Thakral, a powerful businessman who makes the life of an upcoming badminton player hellish in newly launched show Kali - Ek Agnipariksha on Star Plus.
"Power of money, knowledge, family and muscle power is all that a man can have, and if a person has all of them he stops competing with others and thinks his competition is with the God. This the character of (Keshav) Thakral.
This character is the king of evil," said Rana. The actor will also be seen brandishing a moustache in the serial.
The show apparently draws inspiration from the Ruchika Malhotra case, which the producers of the serial, however, denied

(less)B' town beauties go broke!
Whatever the reason, the fact is that three-quarters of the film industry’s beauties live life in the shadows. Filmmaker Priyadarshan, who gets a knock on his door from many of these actresses, says he feels helpless but there is “only those many actresses who I can accommodate in my movies.
..
and though I’d ideally like to create roles for the number of actresses I meet, it isn’t possible”. A leading producer confirms that when he spread the word that he is auditioning for his new film starting this September, he got calls from a dozen actresses.
“Such is the paucity of good projects that when you announce one film, at least 10 good actresses turn up for the same role,” says he. Sanjay Bhattacharya, a film financier, says that since medium budget movies have become fewer, roles for the middle-order guys and girls have completely dried up.
“We’re either making top-order projects done by the A-list actors like the five Khans (Aamir, Shah Rukh, Salman, Saif and Imran), Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, Ajay Devgn and Ranbir Kapoor, or we are making art-house cinema like Udaan, Tere Bin Laden and Love Sex Aur Dhoka. The typical medium-budget film has become so rare.
” Whether it’s the himbos or the bimbos, with the exception of the top seven guys or girls in Bollywood, most of the others are sitting at home waiting for the phone to ring. Priyanka Kothari admits that after her beneficial stint with Ram Gopal Varma films — James, Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, Sarkar and Aagyaat — she is still to find the right break.
She admits that post Aagyaat she has only shot for regional cinema and a couple of commercials because she is still waiting for a good Bollywood film to materialise. And though many of the other actresses aren’t as candid as her, the fact is that life in the movies has become arduous for many.
It is no exaggeration that the girls who show up in pretty clothes at premieres, survive mainly on dance shows in smaller cities, ribbon cutting, commercial endorsements refused by the more-in-demand actresses, ramp-walking, catalogue shoots and appearances at events. What’s more is that unlike in other professions, where the wait invariably takes its toll on their patience, here in Bollywood, waiting for movies also takes its toll on their pockets.

(less)All is not well at Saif's production house Illuminati Films
Certain changes Word on the B-Town street is that the banner owned jointly by the actor and his buddy Dinesh Vijan, may soon be dissolved. The plans to launch their second film Agent Vinod have been put on hold.
There is definitely stress between the buddies-turned-businessmen. It is learnt that their second film together was to start shooting in January 2010, but seems nowhere on the mark, to get set and go.
Though Love Aaj Kal was one of the top three hits last year, it still didn't make a profit for distributors Eros, as it was sold at a very high price. The recession-hit Illuminati Films' next production Agent Vinod (starring Saif and Kareena Kapoor) has also run into rough weather because Eros has decided to cut down the budget by almost half.
The film, which as to be shot in seven cities across the world, will now be shot in just one." Many meetings have been held to discuss the progress of the film at Saif's office in Bandra.
The actor feels that he is the main face for Illuminati and is putting in all the hard work, while his partner is not pulling his weight."The source reveals that Saif felt a bit let down by the lack of interest and commitment from his pal, "Not one to suffer in silence, Saif had a word with Dinesh recently, and it lead to a huge showdown, following which Saif told Dinesh that they should part ways.
Though Dinesh owns the title of Illuminati Films, Saif wanted to retain it as he feels emotionally connected to it and Bebo also had gifted them the silver emblem of two lions, which became their logo. Dinesh doesn't want to pushed out of the company.
He's crying foul as he has already taken 1 crore from his financiers and has done recces in Morocco and other locations for Agent Vinod. He has suggested that they complete Agent Vinod together and then part ways.
" However, for the moment,?? things appear to have been sorted out. Saif, however, dismisses all the rumours, "These rumours have arisen because of the expansion plans made by our production company.
I am aware of them too but it's all rubbish! There are certain infrastructural changes that are happening inside the company and within a week's time we shall be able to make the appropriate announcement." When asked about many employees in Illuminati Films being given pink slips, he maintains, "It's nothing like that.
As part of the expansion plans, we are looking at certain areas (like re-scheduling dates) because the film has been delayed and other issues but Agent Vinod is very much happening and Dinesh and I are 100 per cent together." Dinesh Vijan says "It's all rubbish!" No pink slips Though Love Aaj Kal was one of the top three hits last year, it still didn't make a profit for distributors Eros, as it was sold at a very high price.
The recession-hit Illuminati Films' next production Agent Vinod (starring Saif and Kareena Kapoor) has also run into rough weather because Eros has decided to cut down the budget by almost half. The film, which as to be shot in seven cities across the world, will now be shot in just one.

(less)Arshad Warsi wants Rs 3 crores for every film now
There were some scenes which I thought should've been shot differently. The post-production was done by the entire crew.
But of course Kabir Kaushik would get credit as director.But the story and screenplay were mine.
So it was my vision to begin with.? Arshad Warsi admits he has hiked his price after the success of Ishqiya.
But he isn't sure if he 'd be paid what he's asking. Says the actor, ?I'd have asked for what I deserve even if Ishqiya hadn't worked.
I'm finally asking for the price I deserve. I was completely underpaid earlier.
I'll ask for a certain price now (Rs 3 crores). If I don't get it I'll continue to be an underpaid actor for films I believe in.
For example if I am asked to do a sequel to Ishqiya I wouldn't ask for money. I haven't ever asked for money for the Munnabhai movies.
If I feel the film helps me in any way as an actor I'll cut my price.? But Gol Maal, Arshad feels is a commercial film and therefore should be lucrative for him.
?Gol Maal doesn't help the actors at all. It only helps the director.
Munnabhai does help the actors. Even Dhamaal whose sequel I'm doing doesn't help actors.
Gol Maal and Dhamaal mean another hit for me. Nothing more.
? Between Gol Maal 3 and Dhamaal Arshad is doing Mani Ratnam's assistant Bijoy Nambiar's gritty real-life drama. ?After Gol Maal 3 I'll do a small-budget film before going into Dhamaal.
It's the kind of film that enthuses me as an actor. I play a cop in a real-life setting in Mumbai.
? Arshad was almost not in Gol Maal 3 because of the price factor, though he gives another reason for his near non- presence in Gol Maal 3. ?I needed a gap of at least two weeks between the last day of my own production and the first day of the shooting of Gol Maal.
After running around like a mad man for the promotion of Ishqiya and completing Hum Tum Aur Ghost I really needed a break

The project of Kundan has excited and tempted Aamir but he wants it to be like any other big budget movie of him and he should be paid the usual fee. Recently, Kundan Shah has been seen visiting Aamir Khan several times, probably to discuss the script.
Confirming the news, Shah stated that he has talked with Aamir for this comedy flick titled Tycoon and it would be of the same genre of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron. He said that the movie will have an added flavor of romance also.
Kundan added that if he pays Aamir his market price, it would turn out to be another 3 Idiots and he has no such plans. Aamir has not yet shown green signal officially.

Nothing more." Between 'Gol Maal 3' and 'Dhamaal' Arshad is doing Mani Ratnam's assistant Bijoy Nambiar's gritty real-life drama.
"After 'Gol Maal 3' I'll do a small-budget film before going into 'Dhamaal'. It's the kind of film that enthuses me as an actor.
I play a cop in a real-life setting in Mumbai." "I needed a gap of at least two weeks between the last day of my own production and the first day of the shooting of 'Gol Maal'.
After running around like a mad man for the promotion of 'Ishqiya' and completing 'Hum Tum Aur Ghost' I really needed a break. I've had no chance to relax.
But now I'm starting 'Gol Maal 3' on the day after the release of 'Hum Tum Aur Ghost'. So no respite.
I really begged them for time off." He's also not sure if he's part of the Munnabhai franchise any more
(less)Imran travels low budget
And what better way to do that than going on a backpacking trip to Europe with your best friends? Our source says, "The trip was very different from the usual ones star take. It was not one that Imran splurged on.
The seven friends were on an adventure trip. They travelled on a low budget, hitch hiked, stayed in small European villages and met and interacted with the local people.
" Apparently, this one was an all-guy trip (oops! Sorry Avantika ) with few rucksacks and a lot of laundry making its way back home. Imran travelled in trains and buses and explored as much of Europe as possible with his friends.
You wonder how the actor coped up; didn't he fear being mobbed by fans? The source adds, "This is how Imran is in reality; he loves to travel and explore new cultures and see different places. Before he became an actor, he'd make such trips often.
But over time, he has gotten very busy with his work and has therefore has had to cut down on such trips. Imran was very excited about this trip.
" When contacted, Imran Khan said, "I have been working back to back. I finished I Hate Luv Storys and then I started shooting Break Ke Baad.
The moment I came back from Break Ke Baad, I started promoting I Hate Luv Storys. I really wanted to take a break and wanted to go out somewhere.
So, six of our childhood friends got together and one more friend joined us. We all met in London.
We wanted to travel around and catch up on old times. We had no clue where we wanted to go.
No plans were made. We didn't want to be accessible on the phone either.
I wanted to live life and wanted to be at some place where no one would recognize me. We have been travelling for the past 9-10 days.
" And could we get a peek into his travel itinerary? Imran adds, "We started off from London and went to so many places, I don't even remember. But we travelled mainly in the Netherlands.
We didn't have a fixed plan; we just went wherever we felt like going and whatever we found on the map. We went to places that the locals suggested.
We had our visas in place so there was no confusion over that. The idea was to get out of the routine and come out fresh, which I will be when I am back.
" Imran added that his fiance Avantika had no issues with him going on this trip, but we'll take that with a pinch of salt
