Salman, Kareena romance on 125th floor of a hotel!

Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor romanced on the 125th floor of a hotel in Melbourne for their forthcoming romantic movie Main Aurr Mrs Khanna.

"Usually the Australian government doesn't allow such film shootings to take place in the Realto hote. But when they found out that it was none other than Salman and Kareena who were going to shoot there, they readily agreed," said a source.

"The view from the 125th floor was breathtaking and overlooked nearly the whole of Melbourne. Most of the romantic scenes between Salman and Kareena have been shot here since the location was important to the scene," added the source.

Releasing October 16, Main Aurr Mrs Khanna is directed by first-time director Prem Soni.

Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor are again going to work together

Mumbai: As the fans of glam girl Kareena Kapoor knows very well that she was with Shahid Kapoor for a long time but now they have really moved to their ways of career and personal lives because it seems that the old lovers have becomes enemies.

This is very latest that Shahid and Kareena refused to romance for upcoming two new songs. After a grand success of his very previous movie "Wanted" producer Boney Kapoor wants to give a new start to his much-delayed film "Milenge Milenge". This movie was almost dumped for last five years.

To add some spices in the flick, music director Himesh Reshammiya has recorded two songs. But sadly, Shahid and Kareena are not willing to get closer after a long time of their break up.

Sources have also revealed that Kareena is not going to shoot for these extra songs. This has made Satish Kaushik unfortunate to use the footage of the two songs, which now would be used as promotional videos for the flick, also the duo are not going to promote this flick together.

Salman Rescues Kareena

So far we’ve only heard horror stories of Salman’s misbehaviour with his leading and misleading ladies.

But Kareena Kapoor has a different story to tell.

Says Kareena, “Salman has always been very protective. He has been there for me whenever I needed him. That’s partly to do with the fact that my sister Karisma is very close friends with Salman and also his favourite co-star.”

Every time Kareena shoots with Salman she feels super-protected and safe. Just how caring a co-star this Khan can be was proven to Kareena recent when they were shooting a romantic song on the Phi Phi Beach in Thailand for his home production Main Aurr Mrs Khanna.

This was the same location where Danny Boyle had shot The Beach with Leonardo Di Caprio.

The beach, as anyone who’s been there, is no sandy but pebbled.

And Kareena had to go bare feet into the water with Salman. But before she could reach even half -way she cut her foot in a sharp pebble rather badly.

Says a source, “Kareena doubled up in pain and almost fell to the ground. Salman reflexively reached for her and swooped her into his arms. And he carried her to the water.”

The shot has been retained in the film, although it was never meant to be part of the film.

Says the director Prem Soni, “Throughout the shooting, you could see the special bonding that they had. But that day on the Phi Phi Island it got really special. We came much further into the land from the sea than we imagined .When it was time to go back we realized we had to walk through the pebbled beach and wade into almost head-deep water before reaching our boat. We had to do it. Otherwise we’d have to spend the night on the beach without food or water. Kareena was in this long gown and barefoot. She was in pain. Before we knew it he swooped her into his arms and carried her into a boat. It was a very romantic-looking moment and we couldn’t let it go.”

SRK and Kareena come together once again

After being was paired with Shah Rukh Khan in Ashoka, Bebo was completely smitten by the actor’s charisma. even though the film didn’t do well, they remained fast friends after that and Kareena readily did item songs for both Don and Billu. Now finally, the two of them will be coming together again in SRK’s next ambitious project Ra 1.

The sci-fi fantasy will be directed by Anubhav Sinha (of Tum Bin and Dus fame). It’s been in the pre-production stages for a while, but is expected to go on the floors early next year. Our source said, “SRK’s always wanted to do a science fiction film, which is why he was keen on doing the film Robot with south director Shanker. However things did not work out between them. Now he’s incorporated many of the creative ideas that he had given Shanker into Ra 1 where he will be seen in a larger-than-life role of a superhero. Kareena will play his love interest, and the two stars’ dates have already been finalised.”

Ra 1 will have loads of special effects and some portions of the film will also be animated. The budget for SFX alone is said to be more than Rs 25 crore.

Kareena refuses to romance Shahid Kapoor, again

The lie of so-called 'cool break up' between Shahid and Kareena was exposed when the duo refused to romance in two new songs for their much-delayed Boney Kapoor film Milenge Milenge.

Though Kareena refused to comment, a source close to her says, “Kareena is more than happy to extend all cooperation to producer Boney Kapoor and director Satish Kaushik, but she won’t shoot an extra songs for the film. Shahid is a closed chapter.”

This has made hapless Satish Kaushik to use the footage for the two songs, which would be used as promotional videos. It is also said that the actors would not promote for the film together.

A music video for the newly-recorded Himesh track was also planned as part of the film’s promotion. However, there would be no joint appearances by Shahid and Kareena.

Kareena Kapoor glamorous less in hindi version of Stepmom!

Kareena Kapoor is shedding her glam image for the Hindi version of Stepmom after doing glamorous roles in films like Kambakkht Ishq.

Kareena Kapoor has been quietly attending acting workshops with the film’s director, Siddharth Malhotra. “The last time I rehearsed for a part was for Vishal Bharadwaj’s Omkara. But that was an unconventional film and I had to get into a milieu and character of which I knew nothing about. But Stepmom is urban and very contemporary. I play a very normal metro-centric working girl,” she says.

Malhotra’s film is inspired by director Chris Columbus’s hit drama Stepmom, a tale of two women – divorced Susan Sarandon and the new woman (Julia Roberts) in her ex-husband’s life – and the problems they face to find a common ground of understanding. And to attend the workshops, Kareena has been stealing time from the rehearsals of a song she began shooting with Aamir Khan for 3 Idiots. Through the workshops, Kareena Kapoor, who plays Julia’s role, is discovering how difficult it is to play a normal girl. “I walk, talk, dress like an ordinary working girl. I’ll be using no make-up,” she says. Manish Malhotra, too, is trying to bring down Kareena’s glamour quotient in this movie to make her look like an ordinary working woman. “I couldn’t cut my hair as planned because of continuity clashes. But I’m going for a new hairstyle,” said Kareena.

Kareena is taking acting workshops & working on her look for Stepmom remake

Manish Malhotra is having a hard time trying to bring down Kareena's glamour-quotient in Stepmom, to make her look like the ordinary working woman. Kareena is leaving nothing to chance this time. In her determination to make sure she can match strides with the formidable scene-stealer Kajol in the desi Stepmom, she has been quietly attending acting workshops with the film's director Siddharth Malhotra.

To make time for this, Kareena has been stealing time out of the rehearsals for the song that she began shooting with Aamir in 3 Idiots this week.

Playing Kajol's soutan in the Indian Stepmom won't be a cakewalk for Kareena Kapoor. The two actresses start shooting together from the end of this month.

Says Kareena, "The last time I rehearsed for a part it was for Vishal Bhardwaj's Omkara. However, that was a more unconventional film and role where I had to get into a milieu and character I knew nothing about. But Stepmom is urban and very contemporary. I play a very normal metro-centric working girl. It should've been easier."

Through the workshops, Kareena is discovering how difficult it is to play a normal girl. "I walk talk dress like an ordinary working girl. I'll be using no makeup."

The clothes by Manish Malhotra will on this occasion be far less glamorous than what Kareena generally gets to wear. "I couldn't cut my hair as planned because of continuity clashes. And I didn't want to cut my long hair. But I'm going for a new hairstyle."

The biggest challenge is to face the camera with the indomitable Kajol. Says Kareena, "She's always been one of my favourite actresses. We worked together in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. But this is something else."

Kareena says there are lots of dramatic scenes between the two women. "The desi version of Stepmom is very different from the original. My role is also a big departure from what Julia Roberts played in Stepmom."

Shahid reveals how important was Bebo

Five years of relationship and then a break-up, Shahid Kapur and Kareena Kapoor have now moved on in life. Though Shahid always remained tight-lipped as what went wrong in their relationship, he revealed that Kareena Kapoor had been his support system.

It was Farah Khan who made Shahid to speak about his past relationship with Kareena Kapoor on the chat show, ‘Tere Mere Beech Mein’. Talking about dating Bebo, he says, “I was already knowing that she was Raj Kapoor's grand-daughter, her sister was Karisma Kapoor. I had danced behind Karisma in "Dil to Pagal hai" even I knew that this will be a big issue."

When Farah popped the question that whether it was his repeated flop that sour their relationship. To it Shahid responded, "She had become my support system. I think emotionally also that she had become my support system, so there was no chance like that. The real things in life is relationship only, success and failure when comes and goes we didn't remembers. Relationship is that thing, they stand by you with time so you have to give priority to your relationship."

Kareena Kapoor has just returned from her Swiss Vacation to see her friend Karan. Karan gave her a lot of compliments for her outstanding performance for her upcoming movie. She has planned her three day schedule for shooting in the movie. She went back with her smiling cheeks after meeting her friend Karan.

Kareena is out of the blue

Maybe, not opted by Imtiaz for Saif’s first home production ‘Love Aaj Kal’ would’ve got her trenched in disappointments. But she seems to be much vividly working for her best in Saif’s next production ‘Agent Vinod’. Out of the blue, she wouldn’t be spotted romancing her real life-beau.

Well, for a greater surprise, her persona in a vamp-kind of role where she’s supporting baddies would be something off-the-wall characterization in her career.

‘Agent Vinod’ directed by Sridhar Raghavan, the spy-thriller does feature her in such a role that protagonist turns more perplexed about ‘To trust or not to trust’ situation.

The film will hit the floors lately by year-end all over the world as the story revolves around serial murder mysteries across London, Uzbekistan and Hamburg. As one of the Indian agent escapes from the clutches of baddies for spying, he informs about their plans of attack on India. This is where we’ve Agent Vinod stepping into the scene.

Kareena was my support system: Shahid

Jab Shahid Kapoor met Kareena, she was a more established star and he was just a film old. He says he was realistic enough to be aware that this would become an issue for the couple.

Tere Mere Beach Mein host Farah asked if there were pressures on the relationship after his films flopped, “Lekin har flop ke baad, aur usmein kuch problem hiu … ”

Shahid interrupted, “She had become my support system, yaar. I think emotionally she had become my support system to aisa koi chance nahin tha … yeh life mein real cheezein toh relationships hi hoti hain, success failure sab kab aata hai, kab jaata hai pata bhi nahin chalta hai. Relationships aisi cheez hai, they stand by you with time so you have to give priority to your relationship.”

Hot Divas in Bikini set Bollywood lanes on fire

Skin show has always been a selling element for B-town filmmakers. Indian culture may boast of sati-savitri Bhartiya nari, or crib about the adaptation of western culture in recent times, but the truth is- our film fraternity has been modern and contemporary in its thoughts and ways since the 60’s.

Remember the sensuous Sharmila Tagore of An evening in Paris in the 60’s. An icing on the cake was when she donned a bikini on the cover page of a renowned magazine. The unmatchable oomph-factor of another diva Parveen Babi ruled the roost in 70’s, with her amazing style quotient in bikini.

Then, came the voluptuous, yet sexy, Bikini-clad Zeenat Aman in her films such as Qurbani, Pukaar and Dostana.

The trend of bikini somehow got lost, until some super-sexy divas yet again set the B-town lanes on fire on the cover pages of magazines, films and music albums.

Let’s begin with divas with enormous sensuality that got the trend of bikini back in tinsel town. But most importantly, we look back at how this two-piece is now a major tool to get the audience attention all the way to the Box-office.

Today bikini has become a tool for most of the filmmakers to fill their pockets with uncountable money.

Shilpa Shetty- She made every head turn to notice her ultra-sexy perfect figure. This diva easily slipped into two-piece with an unmatchable grace in Dostana. However, a point to be noted here, director Tarun Mansukhani showcased Shilpa Shetty in an item song, which became one of the high points of the film, raking in audience and moolah on box-office.

Sushmita Sen- This bong-beauty’s claims to have shared the most sensuous chemistry with King Khan till date came true with Main Hoon Na. Farah Khan made this diva look like an angel in a swimsuit.

Kareena Kapoor- The deep-blue eyed Kareena Kapoor wore the ultra-sexy attire twice. Her size zero-figure had become the talk of the town.

With a sizzling hot bikini in Tashan she showcased her sexy avatar, which made many a hearts go flutter, including our Chote Nawab who can’t withhold ravishing about his ladylove. Again in Kamabakht Ishq, she gave her fans a glimpse of her ever super–toned body.

Mallika Sherawat- This sexy-siren does not need any introduction. With oodles of sex appeal she made many a men drool over for just a peek at her skimpy beachwear, in her much talked about film- Murder. The director never kept any stones unturned to make his money-minting machine look most ravishing thing on planet earth.

Bipasha Basu- This dusky-beauty, also the IFFA female style icon of 2009 not only got into the bikini with the never-ever seen grace, but also, manage to stand at par with world-class beauty Aishwarya Rai. Her multi-colored bikini got her loads of praises all over, and also to the filmmaker associated with Dhoom 2.

Priyanka Chopra- The ever-graceful former Miss World and extremely celebrated female actor today, Priyanka Chopra gave another reason to cine-goers to watch Dostana.

She, though a main-lead, donned a golden bikini with umpteen grace, which yet again gave an extra edge to the director to woo his audience in the midst of many contenders floating simultaneously near the box-office ticket window.

Deepika Padukone- Might have left her fans in gloom, for they still haven’t got a chance to have a look at her in a bikini on silver screen. However, looking at the trend of bikini-wearers making waves, Deepika is not taking any chances to be left behind and thus to stay in the Bikini cat-race, Deepika donned a two-piece swimsuit for Kingfisher calendar.

Shruti Haasan- This star-child got her hands on a bikini in the very first film of her career. Luck, might not have clicked with the audience, but Shruti in bikini did. Looking smoldering hot, Shruti in a bikini overshadowed the film’s publicity.

Soham Shah played his cards right in Luck with getting his actor with right attire at a right time, though unfortunately not the right script.

Rani Mukherjee- The talented actress is the latest entrant to the bikini club. This bundle of talent will be wearing a bikini for the very first time in her long spanning career, for her forthcoming film Dil Bole Hadippa, opposite Shahid Kapoor.

Rani’s sardarji look in the film is also a much talked about affair. However, it would be interesting to see whether her fans are inclined to her cute sardaji look, or the hot bikini avatar.

Bebo with 3 Idiots on b'day?

A little birdie tells me that Kareena Kapoor has agreed to adjust her schedule for Aamir Khan's sake.

Apparently Aamir Khan had to postpone the dates he'd committed to the shoot of 3 Idiots since he wanted to be with his wife Kiran Rao. Kiran is recovering from a miscarriage and is with Aamir at an undisclosed location.

So when Kareena Kapoor was requested to adjust her dates so as to accommodate Aamir's last-minute plans, she readily agreed.

Kareena stars alongside Aamir Khan, R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi in 3 Idiots. The film is slated to release on December 25 this year.
