I’m Gearing Up To Give My Best In Agent Vinod

Saif Ali Khan wants some action. After spending a romantic vacation with Kareena Kapoor, Saif states “Apart from bringing unconditional love in my life, Bebo (Kareena) has brought in a healthier lifestyle too.”

He reveals “My film Agent Vinod requires me to be in my best form. I’m no wrestler in the film, but the role will need extremely rigorous action on my part, and I’m gearing up to give it my best. I hope it’ll see me in my best physical form.”

Presently, Saif is concentrating on his upcoming film titled “Aarakshan” which will be directed by Prakash Jha.

He added “It’s an interesting role, but the draw is also the film-maker. One can trust Jha (director Prakash Jha) blindly to come up with a film with the sensibilities in the right place. You know you are in safe hands!”

Amitabh Bachchan No Longer IIFA Brand Ambassador

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who has been the brand ambassador of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards since their inception in 2000, will no longer perform the role – and the concept itself has been dropped.

‘Due to unexplainable reasons, after announcing the event, Mr. Bachchan couldn’t participate in the IIFA Weekend in Sri Lanka last year. Following this, IIFA aborted the concept of a Brand Ambassador,’ Sabbas Joseph, director, Wizcraft entertainment that organizes the event, said in a statement.

‘Keeping in mind the huge respect that Wizcraft and IIFA have for Mr. Bachchan and the deep relationship that we’ve always shared, we are not having anyone replace Mr. Bachchan.

‘The Bachchan family has been an intrinsic part of IIFA every year, and in this regard we have already shared with them a proposal about their participation this year too. Mr Bachchan’s reason for non-participation is best known to him. IIFA and Mr.Bachchan are inseparable. We will continue to pursue his participation for this year too,’ Joseph said.

However, there could be more to this than meets the eye as Amitabh confirmed the parting of ways on his Twitter account but put the onus on the IIFA.

‘Not coming to Toronto IIFA…IIFA says my services are not required,’ he Tweeted.

Amitabh Bachchan Touched By Aamir Khan’s Surprise Visit

Bollywood ‘Shahenshah’ Amitabh Bachchan and perfectionist Aamir Khan has always admired each other and shares a very wonderful relation. The mutual respect between these two actors has brought them closer. Big B has always appreciated Aamir’s work and his mannerism but the duo has never acted together in any film.

Recently, Aamir gave Big B yet another reason to praise and feel good about him. Mr. Bachchan was shooting for a commercial at Mumbai’s Film City, which he inaugurated 30 years ago. He got nostalgic thinking about it and that is when Aamir dropped in to surprise Big B. He was remembering the memories of shooting on floor number one.

Later, Mr. Bachchan shared the experience and his feelings on his blog. He said that Aamir dropped on the sets in the middle of the shoot and they had wonderful chat as usual. This is a wonderful and amazing relation between these two superstars and the fans are dying to see them on screen together soon.

We hope the filmmakers will soon come with a wonderful script to bring the duo in one screen! The fans would love to see their off screen chemistry reflecting to onscreen.

Saif Ali Khan Credits Amitabh For His Bollywood Raid

Even though Saif Ali Khan is veteran actress Sharmila Tagore's son, the actor says he joined the Indian film industry chiefly because of Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

The 40-year-old actor is all set to work with Amitabh in Prakash Jha's next 'Aarakshan'. This is the second time that both the actors will share screen space after the 2007 film 'Eklavya: The Royal Guard' 'I joined films pretty much because of Amitji so it's always an absolute honour to work with him and I'm glad I got another opportunity to get associated with him,' Saif told reporters here.

Big B too was elated to know about Saif's thoughts and revealed that he felt honoured after hearing what Saif had to say. 'I have worked with Saif in 'Eklavya', that was my first association with him. I am really honoured and privileged to know that he feels that I was in someway responsible for his entry into this film industry. I'm delighted to work with him again,' said the 68-year-old star.

Amitabh also remembered some of the moments that he spent with Saif.

'Today, I remember one of the very old moments. Saif was six-seven years old and he had visited my sets when I was shooting a song in Filmcity. Sharmila ji, his mother, said that he wanted to be with me and see the shooting.

'He was a very confused looking youngster then, who stood at the top of the hill, sitting on a rock all by himself and watching the shooting. From then on I have watched him grow so brilliantly to a fine actor with a lot of variety in every performance,' revealed the actor.

'Aarakshan' also stars Deepika Padukone, Prateik and Manoj Bajpayee and will go on floor Jan 15. It is based on policies of caste based reservations in government jobs and educational institutions.

Hrithik Roshan To Face His Wax Statue On January 20th

Madame Tussauds is soon going to welcome another Bollywood star among it's long list of wax statues and the latest one is none other than Bollywood’s ‘Greek God’ Hrithik Roshan. The museum has kept the pose and detailing about the statue secret until it is unveiled on January 20, 2011.

The grand launch of the statue will take place in London next year and Hrithik will face his wax figure. The sculptors at the museum are now giving the final touches to the Bollywood star’s wax figure. No one knows how Hrithik has posed or what he has worn for the statue. So, it will be a pleasant surprise for the Hrithik fans when the statue is unveiled.

However, Madame Tussauds has promised that it will be one of their most daring figures ever and it will not disappoint the fans of the Bollywood star.

So, is there any guesses about Hrithik’s pose? Till date, Hrithik has looked best at his films Krrish, Jodha Akbar, Dhoom 2 and recently released Guzaarish. If he poses in his Krrish look, then we can expect to see his superhero avatar, Jodha Akbar will give the historic look of the actor. If he poses like his Dhoom 2 look then it will be reflect the heroic mood in him and Guzaarish look will give him the feel of a wonderful magician.

Well, we better stop guessing now and wait for January 20 to know how exactly he posed for the statue!

Ranbir Kapoor Voted As The Sexiest Asian Celebrity

In a poll conducted by London based weekly magazine Eastern Eye, Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor has been voted the sexiest man in Asia, moving past other hunks from the Hindi film industry like Hrithik Roshan and John Abraham. Responding in a statement to the media after being awarded with the title of the sexiest Asian man, Ranbir Kapoor said that he was overwhelmed by the fact that he has so many female followers around the world. Known to be a lady’s man, the actor said that if women stopped loving him, he would definitely start having doubts on himself!

Ever since he entered Bollywood filmdom, Ranbir Kapoor has been the subject of an affair with several leading actresses in the industry including Sonam Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and the most recent Katrina Kaif. What’s more, Ranbir Kapoor has also admitted to the fact that he is a playboy in real life and enjoys variety when it comes to women! It is strange that even this admission has not stopped his female fans drooling over the 28 year old Kapoor lad.

In a statement to the media, Asjad Nazir, the editor of Eastern Eye says that unlike the other years, Ranbir Kapoor has won by a clear majority in the votes conducted to determine the sexiest man in Asia this year. While John Abraham and Hrithik Roshan stand in second and third positions respectively, Ranbir Kapoor has secured a huge number of votes when compared to them. Also heard that the same magazine has also voted Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor’s rumored lady love, the hottest female celebrity of 2010. The duo seriously go high on the oomph factor!

Deepika And Sonam Kept Out Of Ranbir's World Tour

Ranbir Kapoor's much awaited world tour which is to begin in July 2011 will be accompanied by Bollywood's five hot and sexy actresses. Actresses like Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu and Malaika Arora Khan have already been finalized. Earlier Deepika and Sonam were also considered to be a part of the tour, but not anymore. Sonam has backed out citing the reason that she doesn’t have enough dancing numbers to perform on stage, whereas Deepika had expressed her eagerness to join the team. However, she has been intentionally kept out, knowing that Katrina wouldn’t be comfortable sharing the stage with her.

Papa Rishi Kapoor, who is also co-producing Ranbir's first world tour told a tabloid, "Deepika wanted to come along. We didn't want any stress behind the stage...We want it to go smoothly, no backstage jhik-jhik, please!"

Well, it may be recalled that Deepika and Sonam had made fun of Ranbir on Karan Johar’s TV show Koffee With Karan and this counting out of them from the world tour seems to be a requital.

HDIL - India Couture Week has turned out to be a bonding stage for the bollywood celebs.

Akshay Kumar To Host Khatron Ke Khiladi Season-4

The khiladi man Akshay Kumar and the show Khatron Ke Khiladi stand synonymous to each other. Akshay has successfully hosted the two seasons of Khatron Ke Khiladi for Colors Tv. But this time the channel chose Priyanka Chopra to host this daring show. Priyanka Chopra did add some glamour to the show but she couldn't pull it off well. Also due to her lack of show-hosting skills Khatron Ke Khiladi - Season 3 couldn't gain much TRP. The audience and the makers of the show too felt the same and therefore the channel has decided to get the previous host Akshay Kumar back for the next season.

However, roping in the star again will take some time as a lot of things will have to be considered like time schedule, what the channel will offer him this time etc etc, before the star agrees to be a part of the show.

Lets wait and watch if this time Akki throws any star attitude and keep some conditions before the channel.
