SALMAN-ASH LOVE STORY HEADING FOR BIG SCREEN

Filmmaker will show a dissimilar end.

Even while Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai have gone their part ways and are happy in their own lives, small time filmmaker Javed Khan has not forgotten their romance.

He is all set to make a film based on one of the most talked about love stories in Bollywood. The film, named “Ajab Hai Ishq”, is all set to roll and will go on the floors soon.

Javed Khan will produce the film as well as play the lead role of Salman Khan in the film. He is sure that the film will attract a lot of audience as it is an emotional story depicting the one-time love between Salman and Ash.

Even though the two actors parted ways in real life, the filmmaker will have a different end to his celluloid love story. According to Javed, leaving someone in a lurch will not let you live in peace - so always marry the person you love.

SALMAN AND VIVEK UPSET ASH

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has moved on in life. She speculates why Salman and Vivek cannot!

Aishwarya has never spoken a word on her by now well-known affairs with Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi. She has maintained a stately silence on her personal life. Her former boyfriends have left no stone unturned to make digs at her.

Recently, on a talk show, Vivek used phrases like ‘Rai’ (which also means opinion) and ‘plastic heart and plastic smiles’. He was obviously referring to Ash who has been called ‘plastic’ in the past. Salman has also spoken about her in press interviews and on shows.

A source said, ‘All this has upset Ash, who hasn’t said a word on them and she wishes they would keep quiet about the whole thing too. It makes one wonder if the two don’t have anything happening in their own lives that they have to cash in on their former relationship with her. Why can’t they get a life and behave like gentlemen?’

He further adds, ‘Vivek said that he held the press conference to impress Ash but she wasn’t even aware of it. She was upset when she found out. If Vivek’s career has failed, why should he blame Ash? He was the one who went around town declaring his love for Ash. She didn’t say a word about him. Due to her relationships with Vivek and Salman and subsequent fall-out, she lost a lot of movies and it also harmed her reputation.’

‘When Salman was asked by his friend as to why he still talks about Ash, he casually replied that it was because the press continues to ask him about her. There are a lot of things that Salman doesn’t want to talk about and he makes no bones about it by reprimanding the press. So why doesn’t he keep quiet about Ash?’ wonders the source.

Aishwarya tries to keep away from all this. She is concentrating really hard on her challenging roles in Raavana and Guzaarish. All this distracts her and her families don’t like it either. Apparently, she was so upset with the stories that she almost cried on the sets of Guzaarish in Goa. She said that she has moved on and is living her life the way she wants and is very happy. She wished other people would lead their lives and leave her alone.

A StarBoxOffice source in Goa, close to the Guzaarish unit has established how all this has affected Ash, who has become a nerve wreck every time someone mentions the word Salman or Vivek. She does not want to open her mouth because Bhansali is very close to Salman and things could get ugly. However, she can take respite in the fact that Bhansali hates Vivek as much as she does.

RAKHI CELEBRATIONS AT THE BACHCHANS

Amitabh Bachchan speaks about the festival of Rakhi on his blog, how daughter Shweta and grandchild Navya Naveli will celebrate the fortunate day with their brothers.

“Raksha Bandhan is the festival that respects the bond between brother and sister. Sisters shall perform a puja and arti with a diya, shall feed the brother a little sweet and shall tie a ‘rakhi’ on their right wrist a symbol seeking defense from their brother. She will politely touch his feet and the brother shall give her gift something to wear, a piece of jewellry or at times an envelope containing ‘shagun’; money which is measured auspicious.” Explains Big B

He goes on to speak about how Raksha Bandhan is portrayed onscreen, “The brother sister relationship has been very pronounced in all our films too and looked upon with great respect. The relationship does not essentially have to be of blood. The ‘rakhi brother’ or the ‘rakhi sister’ is a common reference in society of these relationships.”

Bachchan remembers the time when Shweta flew half way across the world to tie rakhi to Abhishek, “Last year she flew down to New York to perform the ritual as we were on tour. And then later in the evening at the concert he pulled her up in the audience when he was on stage. Navya-Naveli shall tie one on Agastya. They shall dress up in traditional outfit and put on cute little solemn faces as the importance of the moment shall be explained to them from their Mother.”

Seems like its going to be a full-blown celebration at the Big B household today, SBO wishes them a colourful Raksha Bandhan.

AISHWARYA HAPPY WITH TWO MEGA SOUTHERN PROJECTS

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai is thrilled over bagging the main leads in two mega south Indian projects - Mani Ratnam's "Ravan" and Shankar's "Endhiran".

"Shankar had advanced me earlier to work with him, but it never materialised. Finally, all landed in place and here we are working together after 10 years," said Aishwarya on the sets of "Ravan".

Tamil superstar Rajinikant, who is playing the male lead in "Endhiran", was also very keen to work with Aishwarya and had tried to sign her for his earlier ventures - "Padaiyappa" and "Chandramukhi", but the actress could not spare the dates.

Speaking about Ratnam's "Ravan", in which she once again teams up with her husband Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya said: "I don't want to disclose much about it. Working with Mani is always a delight. He is a man of rightness. I am lucky to act in his movies again and again."

Aishwarya was earlier seen in Ratnam's "Iruvar" and "Guru", in which Abhishek was in the main lead.

While shooting for "Ravan" in the jungles of Kerala, the entire cast and crew had a scary incident when an elephant ran amok and killed 51-year-old mahout Andavan.

The actors including Abhishek, Aishwarya, Vikram, Prabhu and Munna had to take shelter in a guest house.

According to sources, the film personalities spent the night in the forest guest house and survived on bread and eggs. After 12 hours of tension and waiting, the crew returned to their hotel.

Now the cast and crew of "Ravan" have moved to Ooty where the remaining portions of the film will be shot.

NOT EXCLUSIVE OF MY DAUGHTER

Anil Kapoor who didn’t believe in endorsement deals and has never done an ad till date finally agreed to do so as his daughter Sonam was a part of it.

The father-daughter duo will be seen together in a luxury pen endorsement ad for the first time together and inside sources say it is absolutely amazing to watch out for. Anil who received many offers earlier always maintained that it was his acting that would do the talking and not his endorsement deals.

But the actor has lastly made an exception for his daughter’s sake and will do something to keep her in the limelight. Particularly when her drawn film career and infamous attitude (read Aishwarya bashing) have been the very reasons for her diminishing star power. The two have been paid a whopping amount for the deal and in view of the amount she’s being paid for the Ad, Sonam wouldn’t have to worry even if her next two films were a flop.

Sources added to the press, ‘The brand endorsed by this father-daughter duo, will certainly have an added advantage of targeting different generation and age groups. So no doubt the brand, endorsed by them, will definitely stand to benefit.’

It’s hard to imagine how much a Pen is going to determine age groups and target audience, but what the heck! Anil finally did manage to make his advertisement debut that too after a cool 50 years, for him that’s an achievement alright.

ASH LEARNS NEW DANCING STEPS

Astad Deboo, that modern and current Indian classical dancer, has been lured into the deep jungles of Athirappilly, Kerala, by filmmaker Mani Ratnam to teach the lovely Aishwarya Rai Bachchan some new steps.

Ash, who is shooting for Mani’s Raavan with hubby Abhishek Bachchan, is requisite to do a climactic life and death dance series for which the Padma Shri synthesis dance choreographer was particularly called in.

The actress, of course, is as graceful as can be when it comes to dancing on screen (remember Nimbuda from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Kahin Aag Lage from Taal), and choreographers from Saroj Khan to Shiamak Davar have raved about her professionalism when it comes to taking instruction. Now it’s Astad’s turn. This is his first experiment with Bollywood, though he did agree to lend his supple ingenuity to M F Husain’s Meenaxi before.

According to a source, Astad’s chosen a tandav of passion, revenge and salvation for Ash, because Mani wanted a fusion of kathak, ballet and modern dance. The steps are complex and new and Ash has to dance barefeet on slippery and unsafe ground. Besides, she has to do the steps twice over and in quick run, first with Abhishek for the Hindi version and then with Vikram for the Tamil version. Unsurprisingly, all this isn’t easy for the actress at all. She hasn’t been complaining, however.

Probably because she’s getting her fun watching Abhishek, who is infamously one of the worse dancers in Bollywood, struggling to work on his steps.

Who is hindering Raavan?

Everyone knows of Mani Ratnam’s liking for re-shooting his movies. So why Raavan be supposed to be any less re-worked? Some portions are being re-shot as the motion picture maker is not happy with the rushes.

A source confirms, “Mani Sir is not happy with Abhishek Bachchan’s presentation in the movie, compared to Southern megastar Vikram, who seems to be stealing Jr Bachchan’s boom with his fine performance. Since he is not the central character, Mani Sir thinks he will over-shadow Abhishek, who is the hero of the motion picture in addition to so he needs to re-shoot some scenes at once to make sure Abhishek is not over looked.”

As for Aishwarya, she will have a dance choreographed by internationally well-known dancer Astad Deboo, as well as she is detective novel with the outlook of working with him. Aishwarya is also an old tender when it comes to her organization with Mani Ratnam, with whom she did her first silver screen Iruvar.

Raavan also stars Govinda, and the film is being made at the same time in Tamil as Ashokavanam with a dissimilar cast.

The story of Raavan is a closely protected secret. However, what is recognized is that in the motion picture the sister of Abhishek Bachchan is embarrassed publicly by the temperament played by South star Vikram. Afterward, Abhshek kidnaps Aishwarya Rai, the wife of Vikram as revenge. Both of them take shelter in the jungle chased by the police. Thereby, both of them fall in love.

After Ash, Vidya’s embarrassed laugh

The actress while shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj’s Ishqiya didn’t know that she was departing to be bestowed by a new nick... Apparently, Vidya laughed so a large amount on the sets that her co-star Arshad Warsi calls her ‘Giggles’.

“There’s a story at the back this,” he told us, “Vidya laughs a lot and can’t run herself. She just goes on amused like crazy. She doesn’t even need someone to crack a joke... she laughs JLT (just like that). Sometimes she used to crack up in the middle of a shot in addition to then Naseerudin and I had to wait till her over and done with... Man, that’s some aptitude she has! So we call her Giggles.” Now, that’s attractive cute... right in the Piggy Chops nick group!
