Imran, Kareena along with Karan and director Shakun Batra, recently launched the trailers of the movie, which have begun drawing interest in theatres.

Coming back to Kareena and Rhea’s connection, it’s being looked upon as an interesting combo considering Rhea is considered the brain behind fashionista Sonam’s stylish avatars.

Kareena Kapoor follows Katrina’s footsteps


If Katrina Kaif gave her best performance so far in Kabir Khan’s New York it is now Kareena Kapoor’s turn to pull out all stops and deliver a walloping histrionic sixer in Rensil D’Silva’s Kurbaan. In uncannily similar roles. Both the actresses are featured in near-identical roles, of a wife who discovers her husband to be a closet-terrorist. Coincidentally both the films are located in the city of New York. Secretly both Katrina and Kareena see the role of the terrorist’s wife as a turning point in their respective careers.But what about the similarity between the two characters? Kurbaan director Rensil D’Silva doesn’t deny the similarities. “

If there are similarities between Kurbaan and New York then that’s fine. I’ve high regards for Kabir Khan as a filmmaker. If Kurbaan reminds audiences of Kabir’s film then I’m fine with that. It has worthy recall-value.”However Rensil cautions that every work on terror and terrorism has its own mood and purpose. “There can be any number of films on two people falling in love. It’s about how the individual director interprets the emotion of love.Likewise with the theme of terrorism. It’s open to a multitude of interpretations. I’d like to believe my films is essentially different from Kabir’s.”Kabir Khan was on the way to Cairo for the Cairo Film Festival for the screening of New York on Monday when he was contacted.

Khan said, “What can I say about the similarities between the two films that you’re pointing out? Kurbaan looks like a well-made film. If they’re similar then I’m sure that the audience that appreciated my New York will also take to this film.”But the real fight will be between Kareena and Katrina, both portraying similar roles and vying for the same popular awards at the end of the year.

Kareena Kapoor dares to bare


Kareena Kapoor has done her most daring and steamy scene yet with beau Saif Ali Khan in Karan Johar’s Kurbaan. The first lot of pictures of her bare back and her liplock with Saif are part of the film’s initial promotions, and the reactions are flying in. Although Kareena thinks it is much ado about nothing, “Not once did I feel awkward while shooting any scene for the film. It’s always easier to shoot for romantic and passionate scenes with someone you are dating, because of the comfort level. Also I am very close to Rensil D’Silva (the director) while Karan is like family and I trusted them completely. I knew whatever they shot would come out very classy.And the poster proves that.”She goes on to say that she and Saif both love the poster, “Everything is symbolic including Saif’s wound and my wet hair — it represents passion, sensuality and emotional violence.

Kurbaan is a love story with an undertone of violence — a combination of love and violence. Everyone — from my mom to my sister Karisma — is eagerly waiting for Kurbaan to release. It will remain one of my top three favourite films along with Omkara and Jab We Met.Karan Johar says, “Kareena and Saif were very comfortable with the romantic scenes. It also helped in the passionate romantic scenes as Saif and Kareena are a couple. That helped them in the comfort zone.They are also very credible, talented and professional actors who can convey passion and sensuality with conviction. Bebo and Saif had trust in our aesthetic sense and our campaign while Rensil’s vision and Rahul Nanda’s (publicity designer) expertise has made it a mind-blowing poster.”

Salman Khan rescues Kareena Kapoor


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 recently when they were shooting a romantic song on the Phi Phi Beach in Thailand for his home production Main Aur 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 barefeet 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.”

Kareena Kapoor in Julia Roberts' shoes


Bollywood is remaking Oscar winner Julia Roberts starrer 1998 Hollywood comedy-drama Stepmom.

Bollywood fans are curious to see how glamorous Filmfare winner Kareena Kapoor will fit into the shoes of working girl Roberts, who played a successful photographer Isabel Kelly in 1998 movie.

They find it quite unusual for Kapoor to look like an ordinary working girl, who is reportedly taking acting lessons just for this movie, shall flaunt a new hairstyle and shall not use any make-up.

Hindu statesman Rajan Zed has strongly criticized Bollywood filmmakers for blatantly recreating Hollywood themes while ignoring India's abundance of great tales ready for adaptation for the big screen.

India had a longstanding tradition of scriptural and folk tales and various languages of India were loaded with literary themes to choose from, Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, added.

Directed by Siddharth Malhotra and produced by Filmfare winner Karan Johar, Bollywood Stepmom will replace Oscar winner Susan Sarandon (Dead Man Walking) and Oscar nominated Ed Harris (Pollock) with Filmfare winners Kajol (Fanaa) and Arjun Rampal (Rock On!!) respectively.

While Hollywood Stepmom was filmed in New York and New Jersey states of USA, the Bollywood Stepmom will be shot in Australia and USA.

The storyline of Hollywood Stepmom was about how the children and ex-wife cope when a new woman (Julia Roberts) entered in their father's life, who was a successful photographer, and did not plan to give up her work.

Kareena Kapoor to do a Victoria!


Kareena Kapoor is on the verge of tying up with an international fashion house for a signature clothesline. The star has planned a tour of Paris and Los Angeles where her agents are setting up a series of meetings with prominent designer houses.
While it's almost de rigeur for big Hollywood celebrities, it'll definitely be a first for a Bollywood star.

"I won't be associating with any Indian designer for my clothesline. It has to be a global fashion brand. I have told my agents in Matrix that I want to go to Paris to finalise a designer," Kareena told DNA.

According to sources, the brands they are in touch with include Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Lacroix, Giorgio Armani, Donatella Versace and Roberto Cavalli.

"Kareena's agents are basically concentrating on design houses that are members of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture in France, but preferably one which doesn't already have a presence in India. The ensembles designed and manufactured by them will be marketed in India and a few other countries as Kareena's signature line," says a source close to the star.

Sources add that a multi-million dollar deal with the most probable title of "Kareena" is in the pipeline. Also, there will be an extensive ad campaign and "a glittering national launch in Mumbai" once she's signed on the dotted line.

"I can't talk about the business aspect of the deal just yet. I have a three-month marathon schedule coming up with Karan Johar (for the Hindi remake of Stepmom which also stars Kajol) and after that I'm planning to go on a holiday. So, the Paris trip will be worked into that schedule. I will also be going to Los Angeles to meet some more designers. A lot of work needs to be done before I can make an official announcement about it," signs off Kareena. Bon voyage.

A number of Hollywood hotties and pop stars have their signature lines including Jessica Simpson, Milla Jovovich, Jennifer Lopez, Pamela Anderson, Elizabeth Hurley, Elle Macpherson, Victoria Beckham, Gwen Stefani and Beyonce Knowles.

Top 9 Bollywood Catfights

Deepika Padukone-Kareena Kapoor



Blame it on Saif Ali Khan to create a rift between Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor. Had he not gone about telling everyone, whoever cared to listen to him, that how much he missed Bebo in the film, the two beauties would have been at least cordial with each other. The constant bickering irked Deeps so much that she took to making comments on Kareena’s act in Kambakkht Ishq. Bebo too added fuel to fire by terming KI to be a better film than Love Aaj Kal. They still refuse to get along well.
Aishwarya Rai-Sonam Kapoor

The international brand L’Oreal might not have imagined in their wildest dreams what the Indian press was about to witness when they signed Sonam Kapoor as their fresh face. Immediately rumors of the brand dumping elderly Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for newbie Sonam started to make rounds. Though later it was learnd that Ash is still the brand ambassador of the brand, the rumours went out of hand with Sonam calling Ash Aunty and her father addressing Ash as Chaiwali at an awards do. And the latest from the grapevine is that the two actresses still can’t endure each other.
Priyanka Chopra-Kareena Kapoor

Friendship comes full circle for Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. They were thick friends once with both going for shopping sprees often. But when Piggy Chops got nasty with Kareena’s character in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Bebo saw red and damned PC forever. They fought vehemently spitting venom against each other. But recently at an award function, both were seen bonding, chatting and having hearty laughs! Not to say everyone’s pleasantly surprised!
Priyanka Chopra-Kangna Ranaut



When Fashion was in the making, reports of the two leading ladies Kangna Ranaut and Priyanka Chopra gelling like house on fire hit the tabloids. While many were happy to know it thinking that for a change two actresses were getting along well, there were many who were prophesying its doom. And of course, latter won! The two beauties joined the fighting fray, blaming each other for stealing the thunder after the film’s release. As of now, they are as distant as two rails on a railway track.
Kareena Kapoor-Ameesha Patel

Though not much is said and written about this catfight, it’s a known affair for every one in the industry. Ever since Kareena dropped out of Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai and Ameesha Patel roped in, the two actresses have shared cold vibes. They are yet to forgive and forget for a fight, which apparently was instigated by the producer of the film Rakesh Roshan. He didn’t like Hrithik and Bebo’s closeness towards each other off camera and so dumped Kareena.
Sushmita Sen-Aishwarya Rai

They were great friends as both were from the same industry, namely modeling. They even contested at the Miss India competition where Sushmita stole the crown from under Ash’s nose. Adding fuel to the fire, Sush went on to win the Miss Universe title too which was a big blow to Ash’s vanity. Since then, the two beauty queens have never seen eye-to-eye. Even though Ash’s filmy career rocketed with more speed then Sush, the rivalry persists between the two.
Rani Mukherji-Preity Zinta

Though there is no apparent reason for their spat, Rani Mukherji and Priety Zinta share cold vibes every time they bump into each other. Initially, the girls were thick friends and had worked in many films together. But due to some reason, which is still a mystery, the two decided not to cross each other’s path. Though both neither accept their friendship nor their fight, they do agree that they are not sworn in friends or enemies either.
Rani Mukherji-Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Aishwarya and Rani Mukherji were not just pals but best friends. While Ash used to rave about Rani’s histrionics, Rani used to be all praises about Ash’s beauty and wit. But their closeness went kaput, thanks to Salman Khan. In those days, Ash and Sallu were often seen fighting. Bugged by all this, Salman barged into the sets of SRK-Ash starrer Chalte Chalte abusing Ash and accusing Shah Rukh. SRK immediately dumped Ash and roped in Rani. Since then the best friends were heard making snide remarks at each other at every occasion.
Jaya Bachchan-Rekha

This is one fight, which snowballed in front of everyone. What many don’t know is that Rekha and Jaya were great friends and even had flats in the same building. The diva was even instrumental in getting Amitabh Bachchan hooked to Jaya. But all hell broke loose when Jaya reportedly discovered about her husband’s illicit affair with Rekha. Though every thing is hunky-dory between AB and her, she doesn’t seem to be able to forgive and forget Rekha for backstabbing her.

Kareena Kapoor returns Rs. 1 million to Producer



Just few days back there were reports about Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association aka IMPPA receiving a complaint from M/s PJ Sughand Production Pvt Ltd against Kareena Kapoor.

Deepika Padukone ignores Kareena Kapoor


Saif Ali Khan has time and again said that he wanted Kareena Kapoor and not Deepika Padukone as his female lead in his home production “Love Aaj Kal”. But it was director Imtiaz Ali who was adamant to do the film with Deepika or not do it at all. Imtiaz felt Deepika was fit for the role in spite of him delivering the super hit Jab We Met with Kareena Kapoor.

Deepika never took Saif’s statement kindly although she maintained a healthy working relationship with her co-star turn producer. Now she has found a unique way to hit back at Saif and Kareena. Deepika has planned to organize a special screening of “Love Aaj Kal” where she is inviting the cast and crew, her boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor, her parents, close friends and everyone except Kareena Kapoor.

A close source claims Saif Ali Khan is not too happy with this and had expected his girlfriend to get an invitation to the special screening. This might sore the relationship between Saif and Deepika just ahead of Love Aaj Kal’s promotion. Well seems like Deepika has taken a vry risky decision as Kareena enjoys the numero uno status in the indusrty.

Their Marriage should Happen soon'


Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor might be mum about when they would like to get into matrimony as reports suggest both want to concentrate on their career, but Saif's mother Sharmila Tagore wants them to marry as soon as possible.

Say Sharmila, "Saif has not communicated to me anything on marrying Kareena but we (Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Sharmila) know that he is very serious about her. We are aware that they both need time before they decide to settle down and we are ready to give them that. Both have come out of their past relationships and we are waiting for them to tell us when they would like to get married. We know that both are very fond of each other and by God's grace their marriage should happen soon. I cannot tell you which year or month as that totally depends on them. As parents, we would like Saif and Kareena to settle down as soon as possible."

But has the Pataudi family spoken to Kareena's parents, particularly Babita, regarding Saif and Kareena's future? "I know Babita very well and our family and Kareena's family both know how serious they are about each other. As parents we have spoken nothing about their marriage yet but we both have no objection to their relationship or marriage," the veteran actor adds.

And what about Soha's marriage? "I don't think arranged marriage will work for Soha. She is an individualistic person and we will respect the decision she
takes."
