Bollywood King Shahrukh Khan Snubbed Again! Dunya News

Snubbed once again! That’s how Shahrukh Khan must be feeling as the snippets of the latest goss catches wind in tinsel town.

According to the buzz, Shirish Kunder, husband of Farah Khan who is almost family to SRK, is roping in Salman Khan for his next film after he’s through with ‘Alien Sahib’ with John Abraham.

Earlier, SRK got the humungous snub from the hubby-wife duo when Akshay Kumar was roped in for their ambitious project Tees Maar Khan to be directed by Farah. Now, the duo has rubbed salt to SRK’s wound by finalizing his arch foe Salman for the next project.

Reports say Shirish and Farah were guests at Salman’s birthday bash a few days back at the actor’s Panvel farm house where the trio discussed the project. Salman is learnt to have given his nod.

Shirish, it seems, has some aversion towards working with SRK. Having directed both Akshay and Salman in his super-turkey Jaaneman, the editor-director is choosing to work with them again instead of SRK, who is Farah’s favourite.

It remains to be seen how SRK responds to this snub.

I won’t ever be able to deliver my best-Naseeruddin Shah

After two critically acclaimed films such as Barah Aana and Firaaq this year, Naseeruddin Shah will end his year with the forthcoming Bolo Raam.

A murder mystery directed by theatre actor Rakesh Chaturvedi ’Om’, the film also stars Om Puri and Padmini Kohlapure, marking the debut of Rishi Bhutani. The story revolves round a boy Raam Kaushik (Rishi) accused of his mother’s murder. Raam falls in to a state of shock, brief psychotic disorder, after his mother’s death and becomes silent, refusing to talk or react in any manner. The story unfolds as the investigating officer, Indrajeet Singh Rathi (Om Puri), consults a Psychiatrist Dr. N S Negi (Naseeruddin Shah) to determine Raam’s state of mind and the reason for his slience. Naseer speaks of his role saying, “I play a psychiatrist who is given the task of making Raam speak, so that the truth is unveiled. It is a very intense character, and I enjoyed working with Rakesh, who has been a great actor before he came to directing this film.”

On what made him take up the film and on the news of him not charging a penny for the role, the actor says, “I believe that scripts like Bolo Raam are very rare and they require a lot from an actor. I am sure that if I would have charged any money for the film, I won’t ever be able to deliver my best and it would have been an injustice to the film. I am glad that there were no monetary elements involved, which gives me an opportunity to say that I did this film from and for my heart. Yes, it is obvious that Padmini’s presence in the film is another reason which led me away from talking about any financials, because we had come together on screen after a span of 26 long years.” The actor teams up with Padmini after a long gap of time. The couple last acted in Wo Saat Din in 1983.

Director Rakesh Chaturvedi ’Om’ is in awe of Naseer and speaks of his kind gesture saying, “I think Naseerji is a great personality on- and as well off-screen. He is a great actor and a great human being as well. I have been doing theatre with him for years now, and in all these years, I always kept telling him that I would love to direct him in a film. It was on one random day when I narrated the script of Bolo Raam to him. He was so moved with the script that he said he was doing my film, and to relieve me of any problem, he said he was doing it for free. I can’t say how obliged I felt. I thank him from the bottom of my heart and can proudly say that he is the finest actor India has ever produced. I am sure people will love his performance in Bolo Raam too.”

The film also stars Rajpal Yadav, Govind Namdev and Manoj Pahwa in pivotal roles and releases on Dec 31st.

Dunya Top Star Salman Khan Wants To Get Married & Have Children!

Even as he shoots in Panchgani for his home production Dabangg (produced by Arbaaz Khan) Salman has his hands full with loads and loads young fans who seem to be flocking into his temporary residence in larger numbers than the security can handle.

The reason for this is simple. Salman is staying at a resort called the Ravine in Panchgani. And right next door is a kids’ school. Once the kids got to know who’s staying nexdoor they have been abandoning their studies climbing across the wall dividing the school from the resort to meet their Salman Uncle.

Says a source close to Salman, “Once the school kids from the school nextdoor got to know Salman was staying at the resort they’ve been spending as much time as possible with the star in their midst.

At first the Dabangg unit tried to keep Salman’s presence at the Ravine a secret. But the news of his presence spread like wildfire and the kids are now flocking in wide numbers every day.”

Salman has been entertaining his nextdoor neighbours in all the time he has away from shooting.

Says the source, “He gives the kids instructions on physical training, health, diet and hygiene. But then he got to know that they’ve been climbing over the dividing wall and probably bunking classes. Now he’s very particular about when and how they make they come to meet him.”

The source says Salman’s attachment to kids is growing by the day. He has been heard telling his close family and friends that he wants to get married and have children.

Vidya Balan would be doing a film titled No One Killed Jessica

Vidya Balan has proved her caliber yet again with ‘Paa’. With her launch vehicle ‘Parineeta’, the actress went on to show that she is someone to watch out for. And now she seems to have bagged role that would change her portfolio.

Vidya would be doing a film, titled ’No One Killed Jessica’ that would be based on the infamous murder of Jessica Lal. The tabloids went frenzy over the news when Jessica was gunned down in a bar amidst several people in April 1999. The victim’s sister Sabrina had ran pole to pole fighting legally to nab the murderer. Vidya would be playing the role of Sabrina.

’No One Killed Jessica’ will be directed by Rajkumar Gupta , who was earlier lauded for his thriller film ‘Aamir’. The director said that he will start rolling the film in Feb 2010. Talking about his choice of leading lady, the director said, “Vidya Balan seemed like the right choice from the start. Now that I have got her for the role, the rest of the casting will be easy.”

On the other hand Vidya is said to be excited with her role. Said the actress, “The minute I heard the role, I wanted to do it. It’s my first biographical role and a big challenge. I’ll be meeting Sabrina shortly. After Paa and Ishqiya, I need to move forward.”

Incidentally Rajkumar Santoshi’s ‘Halla Bol’ too had the shades of Jessica’s case and it also had Vidya Balan.

Actor Vindu Dara Singh won the third season of Bigg Boss

Actor Vindu Dara Singh won the third season of popular TV reality show "Bigg Boss" and walked away with prize money of Rs.1 crore. The finale of the show took place here late Saturday.

Vindhu pipped veteran actress Poonam Dhillon and model Pravesh Rana win the show after staying in the "Bigg Boss" house since Oct 4 without any contact with the outside world.

The 45-year-old, son of former wrestling champion and actor Dara Singh, has been waiting for one big push in his career since making his film debut in 1994.

In the third season, it was Vindu’s bouts of anger which became one of the main TRP-earning factors. He was often the man behind most of the plotting and planning on the show and engaged in many verbal fights with his co-contestants.

But luck worked in his favour and he received maximum votes from the public but his father never voted for him.

"’Yeh SMS karna bachchon ke liye hota hai’ (Sending SMS votes is all for kids). I haven’t sent any vote for Vindu. Our relatives and friends have sent votes for him," Dara Singh had told IANS.

Vindu’s victory would hopefully work in his favour because even though he had his father’s legacy, he couldn’t script the same success story.

Vindu made his acting debut with Hindi film "Karan" (1994).

Since then, he has acted in many films, mostly in supporting roles. He has also acted in TV serials, including the role of Lord Hanuman in the serial "Jai Shri Hanuman", like his father did in the super-hit Doordarshan serial "Ramayan".

He has played negative roles in serials like "Ssshhhh...Koi Hai" and "Karma" and also did Punjabi movie "Rab Dian Rakhan" (1996), directed by his father. Vindu was recently seen in "Kambakkht Ishq" and "Partner".

Even his father is pinning his hopes that his victory on "Bigg Boss 3" would do good to his acting career as he feels his son has not got his due in the industry.

"I don’t think Vindu has got many opportunities to show his acting calibre. He played Hanuman in ’Jai Shri Hanuman’ for which he is remembered, but I always tell him to keep trying. Being in a famous show like ’Bigg Boss’ will be very advantageous for him, but even if that doesn’t work in his favour, I believe he should keep trying," he said.

The finale, hosted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan, saw performances by evicted contestants of the season like Raju Srivastav, Claudia Ciesla, Kamaal Rashid Khan, Sherlyn Chopra, Shamita Shetty, Tanaaz Currim and Aditi Govitrikar.

Abhishek Bachchan's 'Bingo' will replace reality show 'Bigg Boss 3'

Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan seems to be following his father, megastar Amitabh Bachchan, wherever he can. If the grapevine is to be believed, Abhishek is now set to host a new show titled ’Bingo’ on entertainment channel Colors.

"Abhishek is doing a show called ’Bingo’ with us. It’s a very interesting concept but details cannot be given out at this point, " a source from the channel told on condition of anonymity.

Though the show’s format is still unclear, it is expected to be based on a person’s laziness quotient, as indicated by a special website created to promote it.

The show’s teasers, featuring Abhishek in a chilled out mood, are already on air on the channel. According to the teasers, "Abhishek’s Aaram Classes" are "opening shortly". However, when contacted Abhishek’s spokesperson, she denied the news.

"Abhishek is not doing any TV show. It is just a website with various interactive applications. I recommend everyone to register on the website and test their laziness and look at the various lazy tips, " she said over phone from Mumbai.

Asked if there is any TV show being produced by AB Corp Limited featuring Abhishek, his spokesperson said: "AB Corp Ltd is not producing anything for TV at the moment."

Simultaneously, rumours have been rife that ’Bingo’ will replace reality show ’Bigg Boss 3’, being hosted by Amitabh, after its finale Dec 26. But the channel’s source denied, saying: "’Bigg Boss 3’ will be replaced by our two new shows - ’Yeh Pyaar Na Hoga Kam’ and ’Laagi Tujhse Lagan’, not by ’Bingo’."
