Salman Khan does Stunts in Mountain Dew Ad - HQ Photos

Salman Khan on the set of Mountain Dew AD
Salman Khan indulges in daredevilry for soft drink ad.
It is touted to be Salman Khan's new actioner after Dabangg. The star has indulged in the daredevil adventure sport of wing suit flying in a commercial of his new endorsement for a soft drink.
The ad was recently shot at a remote location in the mountainous terrains of New Zealand. It was filmed by an international crew helmed by action-adventure film maker Bob Gordon. Sallu has done the stunts himself.
Says a unit source, "The only way to reach the shooting locale was by a helicopter. There were five of them on the sets that feature in the ad as well."
The makers claim that it is the actor's biggest ad production keeping in mind the ad's Darr Ke Aage Jeet Hai campaign.
Adds the source, "The film has been mounted on a mega scale and the production budget exceeded over a million dollars."
The ad goes on air from February 25.

Amrita Rao dating an NRI surgeon!

The rumours that suggested Amrita Rao was dating Shahid Kapoor can safely be put to rest.

Yes, Shahid has had Priyanka Chopra as his ladylove for quite long now but here's the other side of the story. Amrita has been in a long-distance relationship with an NRI from San Francisco.

Our source said, "Amrita was once in the news for being artist MF Hussain's muse. Later, Bollywood was always abuzz with rumours about Amrita dating different men but most of the rumours fell flat after a point of time.

But this time she seems to have finally found love. Amrita has been dating a certain Neil Kulkarni, an NRI orthopaedic surgeon based out of San Francisco."

In August, last year, the actress was in the midst of her Rajshri Production shoot for Love You Mr Kalakar in San Francisco.

She also participated in promoting a charity event there, during which she apparently met Neil.

They say, Amrita's aunt introduced the two and also told her that he would be the perfect guy for her. Kulkarni works for one of the top hospitals there. According to sources, he too was quite smitten by Amrita.

The source added, "Amrita has tried hard to keep her personal life under wraps. Though it is a long-distance relationship, both Amrita and Neil are trying their level best to keep the romance alive.

Neil made a trip to Mumbai to bring in the New Year with Amrita. But she did not allow the information to go out."

When contacted, Amrita Rao did not revert but her publicist said, "Career is all that's on Amrita's mind and she has no time for love.

Though unwillingly, Ranveer Singh has let the cat out of the bag. His acting skills were lauded extensively in Band Baaja Baraat but Ranveer proved to be quite an amateur at improvisation.

While shooting an episode with Anushka Sharma on Karan Johar's chat show Koffee With Karan, Ranveer accidentally referred to Rani Mukerji as "MD" of Yash Raj Films while not taking her name.

Ranveer has a three-film contract with Yash Raj Films and happens to be Aditya Chopra's blue-eyed boy. Our source said, "The conversation on the show was between KJo and Anushka Sharma and Karan asked Anushka if she thought she could act better than all other actresses in the industry.

Anushka said, 'Yes, barring one.' Before she could say who, Ranveer, who had been silent, blurted out the question, 'MD?' and before anyone else, KJo said, 'Oh, let's not go that path'."

According to industry sources Rani is believed to be the one calling the shots at YRF. And if this rumour were anything to go by, Ranveer accidentally affirmed it.

Though Anushka spoke soon enough and said that she was referring to Kareena Kapoor, the damage was done.

The source added, "It is known that ever since Rani has been dating Adi, the head honcho of YRF Films, she is one of the most feared people in Yash Raj Studios.

She is believed to be one of the key decision makers in the YRF camp. Ranveer might have referred to Rani, hoping Anushka would name her and in turn impress Adi."

Whilst a lot may be lost in translation we would still give Ranveer benefit of the doubt and ask: were you referring to Madhuri Dixit by any chance.

Monica: I have surprised myself with DHOBI GHAT

MONICA DOGRA IN DHOBI GHAT

It is a known fact that Monica Dogra, the debutant leading lady of Aamir Khan's 'Dhobhi Ghat', has been a prominent member of the band 'Shaa'ir + Func' and has cut a few albums in the past. In fact she recently sung the stunning 'Dooriyaan' for BREAK KE BAAD as well which, unlike the film, has stayed on to be popular till date. As a follow up to that when a call for acting came in for DHOBI GHAT, the young woman couldn't help but bite the bait.

With a strong presence that her character boasts right through this film which is now ready for theatrical release in India after making the rounds of the festival circuits, one wonders if Monica ever realised the enormity of the platform when she actually began to shoot for DHOBI GHAT.

"Not really actually", Monica says in a cautions tone, "You know what, my situation in case of DHOBI GHAT was quite curious actually. I have been extremely interested in music and played with 'Shaa'ir + Func' for four years now. In many ways I am very happy with my career in music. It is art that excites me, whether it is music or acting. As long as I can get a special change in the world regardless of the capacity that I can contribute, it would be worth it."

But didn't she miss her team from 'Shaa'ir + Func' while shooting for the film? After all from being a live performer, she was suddenly getting into a more rehearsed environment?

"As I stated earlier, it is all about the different formats of art that you are a part of at any given point in time", says Monica who has cut a few albums via her band in the past, "I have always been an actor; it's just the platform that differs. It's eventually about changing people's minds and pushing things forward. I have always aspired to do great things and working really hard since I was very-very young. With my first feature film now, I have happily surprised myself. More than just being an actor in the film, I am glad that a film like this has been made."

DHOBI GHAT releases all over on 21st January.

Bollywood gets X'massy - This is how hotties will celebrate the big day!

'Tis the season to be jolly. Christmas spells Santa's gifts, mistletoe kisses and togetherness. And B-Town folks, like every year, ring in the yuletide in their own way. Here's a look at what the stars are doing for X'Mas... Kareena Kapoor The star will celebrate it in style by having roast turkey and Yorkshire pudding for lunch on Christmas Day with beau Saif Ali Khan, mother Babita, sister Karisma, niece Samaira and nephew Kiaan. Says Bebo, "Christmas is always a very special occasion for me. I take the day off and spend it with my family. We attend midnight mass at St Andrew's Church in Bandra." The actress is using the same Christmas tree that she had shipped from Harrod's in London last year. Saif will be putting up all the Christmas decorations. They don't throw away their Christmas fir trees but preserve them for three years. This year, Samaira has put in a special request under her Christmas tree. She wants Kareena to give her a doctor's set and the aunt has already got it for her! Katrina Kaif She normally travels to London to be with her sisters and mother for the festivities. But this year, it will be a working Christmas. Apart from shooting for an ad, Kat will also be busy with the promotional work of Tees Maar Khan as well as the shoot of Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. The Dutts The couple will celebrate Christmas with Sanju's sister Priya Dutt and her husband Owen Roncon at their Bandra home. Joining them in the festivities will be sister Namrata and hubby Kumar Gaurav. Incidentally, the Dutts celebrate all festivals. Malaika Arora Khan Malaika and her sister Amrita Arora Ladhak celebrate Christmas with their mother Joyce. Munni has taken four days off from her Jhalak Dikkla Jaa commitments. They begin with a Christmas dinner followed by midnight mass at St Andrew's church in Bandra. On X'Mas Day, a sumptuous lunch is lined up at their mother's home. Lara Dutta The actress is completing all her work and will spend Christmas with her family in Bangalore. Anil/Sonam Kapoor Anil and Sonam (she's got a day off from Pankaj Kapur's Mausam) will celebrate his birthday along with Christmas at their Juhu bungalow with the entire Kapoor khandaan which includes Boney and Sridevi, Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor and their children. Kangna Ranaut It's a white Christmas for her as she is in New York shooting for Happy New Year. Shilpa Shetty The actress is in London with her family and husband Raj Kundra celebrating Christmas at Raj's Yorkshire manor. Bunty Walia The producer loves to soak in the festivities and has erected a huge Christmas tree at his home. Eesha Koppikhar Last Christmas, Eesha and hubby Timmy Narang were travelling but this time, she is celebrating Christmas at her in-laws' place. The actress personally decorated the tree and her mother-in-law loved it.

Kareena will decide about our Marriage: Saif Ali Khan

There has been enough discussion about Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor's marriage! We have come across lots of comments from both of them but none of them have given real indication about the time when they will tie the knot.

Saif has already taken the marriage vows once and is happy with two kids from his former wife Amrita Singh. So, it seems there is no hurry from his side and Kareena is also at peak of her career and is only 30 now. The hottest couple of Bollywood does not seem to be interested in tying the knot at this moment considering their career is going great these years.

However, Saif is quite intelligent and shifted the question towards Kareena saying that he is ready for taking the vows once Kareena is comfortable and happy with this.

The couple has been dating since last three years and the question has been haunting them since last two years. Saif once made it clear that Bebo is not required to convert herself before getting married to him so there is no problem in this aspect. She has also reached a comfort level with his two kids and family, so no barrier here too.

So, why is Kareena waiting to say yes for marriage to 'chote nawab'? She has given enough to Bollywood and can easily continue her journey in the industry even after turning 'choti begum' considering the fact that Saif's mother and sister are actresses themselves.

Saif says that he will remain committed the same way even if he is not married to Kareena but we think the lady should come out with a serious decision very soon. In 2009, Bebo was quoted saying that she would get married by 2012 with Saif and would like to have two kids! We hope she sticks to her decision.

Asin and Salman stuck on a tree for 3 days

A simple scene turned into a nightmare for Salman Khan and Asin when the two had to hang from a tree for three days

It was meant to be a simple jungle sequence to be shot in Goregaon's Film City for Anees Bazmi's forthcoming film, Ready, but it turned out to be a nightmare for the lead pair, Salman Khan and Asin.

The scene revolved around Asin being lost in a jungle, and scampering up a tree, with Khan following suit. Says a unit source, "Both Salman and the director were not sure if Asin could carry it off.

Climbing a high tree is not quite what you'd expect a heroine to do, especially since this was a massive tree with sprawling branches. One look at the size of the tree and the director decided to use a duplicate for Asin and Salman."

But Asin would hear none of it. "She insisted on doing the dangerous scene herself. Salman looked at her as if she was crazy. He finally said, 'Lady, you have balls of steel.' A harness was attached to her shoulders, and she was lowered on to the tree. Salman had no choice but to follow suit, " says the source.

What was meant to be a simple shot, took three whole days to complete. "The unit had not anticipated disruptions and distractions from other film units that were shooting in the jungle. Suddenly there was a funeral procession that passed under the tree, and that had Salman and Asin crack up."

Many other distractions too brought the shooting to a grinding halt.

So exhausted were the two actors, that the shoot had to be cancelled. Asin's shoulders were numb because of the pressure from the harness.

"Salman and I were shooting on top of a tree for three days. Was it dangerous? I don't care! It is my childhood fantasy to climb a tree, " laughed Asin.

That's a heavy price to pay to see your fantasy come true!

When Aishwarya was left with no clothes to wear

What happens when one of the most sought after celebrities in India loses her bags while travelling? It is natural that her staff and the airport authorities also become part of the panic.

That is exactly what happened when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, numero uno heroine in Bollywood and the most beautiful woman on this planet, lost her personal belongings while travelling from New Delhi to Chennai.

According to reports in the media, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was at a loss after it was informed that her bags, which she had been carrying during her travel from the capital city to Chennai, could not be located! It was the airlines' mistake and they admitted it too, but how could that be of any help to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who was left with no clothes to wear for the event that she was scheduled to attend in Chennai!

The true professional that she is, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan did not lose her cool, and instead tried to reason the best possible way out of this mess. Well, she was dressed in a track suit during her journey and the immediate idea that came to the Bachchan bahu was to wear the same track suit for the promotional event that she was to attend!

Though we are sure that her fans would not mind, not many went along with her idea as a track suit was not what they wanted the most beautiful woman on this earth to be seen in in public.

Therefore it was left to her manager and the organizers of the Chennai event to shop for the proper clothes and accessories for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Last heard, her staff managed fine in hunting for the new ensemble in which Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made her public appearance.

And her fans in Chennai could not help going gaga over the mesmerizing beauty of the lady. Little did they know what Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had to go through to get that look!

Who's the hottest in Sari: Priyanka, Bipasha or Vidya?

Bollywood actresses and their various style mantras are always in big focus whether it is their western outfits or otherwise. The Indian traditional outfits have always been something which has been under the scanner as soon as the B town actresses wear it. However, no other garment has made such an impact such as the sari.

The sari is the most popular garment in the traditional Indian context of fashion. This attire has undergone quite a change in the way it used to be draped around a woman.

The Bollywood top female stars who look simply great in this six yard cloth are of course many. But the ones who truly look stunning are Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu, Vidya Balan, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone and Shilpa Shetty.

Who can forget Priyanka Chopra in the Desi Girl number from the flick Dostana, , looking piping hot ? Or Bipasha Basu creating a storm in her beautiful sari at the IIFA Awards?

Even Deepika Padukone at the Cannes film festival in an exquisite sari was the talk of the nation, while Kat is well known for her wet sari look in most of her films. Vidya Balan makes it a point to look as cool as ever in sari at most formal events and ditto Shipla Shetty, who is quite often spotted in this attire at public events that almost start the nation’s heart beating a tad bit faster.

Ash, Kat, Priyanka & Shilpa: Plastic dolls of Bollywood

The world of glitz and glamour is such that there are many who fall prey to it before realizing what a great demand this particular world has of the perfect look.
The perfect look includes not only a beautiful face with pearly white teeth and long hair but also having the right cheek bones, the right shape of lips and a perfect jaw line. Speaking of getting into the perfect mould, our Bollywood stars are not far behind in seeking the perfect look and body albeit with a little magic with the cosmetic surgeon's knife.

Ever since the new generation of top crop stars have set the trend, having perfect teeth is no longer considered a hindrance as it is an uncalled for rule that if one has to join in the bandwagon of tinsel town then going to the best dentist in town is the first step to be taken.

However, many of the top stars in Bollywood have gone on record accepting going under the surgeon's knife for the perfect look and yet there are others who refuse to even accept that a term called a plastic surgeon exists in their dictionary.

Well going by the trend in looking just perfect, there are many names that have cropped up while speaking of cosmetic surgery.

There are names like Koena Mitra, Rakhi Sawant, Shilpa Shetty, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and even Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to name just a few have undergone at least some sort of cosmetic cure in order to get the perfect look.

Even though most of these top notch stars have denied taking any such step, gossip columns do crop up with news about them having become plastic dolls of Bollywood.

If reports are to be believed at least 80% of Bollywood actors have undergone cosmetic treatment to get their perfect look. Well, it is actually quite difficult to tell what's real and what's fake in today's plastic dolls of Bollywood.

Vidya Balan in asexual clothes

Marriage may or may not figure in her five-year plans but Vidya Balan is not ready to give up acting for "anything or anyone" and feels life has been "good" ever since she turned 30.

"Acting is a part of who I am. I don't think I will remotely give it up for anything or anyone, " the 32-year-old actor told in an exclusive chat in the capital.

"But having said that, if it comes naturally to me and I do feel like taking it easy at some point of time, maybe I will. But that shouldn't be a pre-condition to get into any relationship, " she added diplomatically.

Vidya, who will soon be seen in "No One Killed Jessica" based on the Jessica Lall murder case, says she is glad women are not giving up their careers just for their personal lives any more.

"I think today women continue to work at every age. It's fantastic! And it is happening in every profession. I met a girl at a store who got back to work within just two months of delivering a child - such is the dedication.

"But, yes, in our profession (acting), in the earlier days, the moment you got married, you ceased to be an object of desire, which is why a lot of actresses retired. Today, no longer! I guess that's also got to do a lot with the fact and attitude that today if someone is with someone, it doesn't stop you from desiring them!" she said and broke into a naughty laugh.

The critically acclaimed actress, who featured in films like "Parineeta", "Ishqiya", "Guru" and "Paa", is on a high these days. Neither her performances, nor her dressing sense are being criticised - and she admits she has started being very careful and fussy.

"Over a period of time, I think rightfully so, I have found the courage to do only what I want to do. I will not get pressurised to do anything that I don't want to do, even if it is a right film, or maybe it's the kind of film that one should be doing.

"It has to challenge me and it has to excite me. It can be an extremely simple film, it could be a mad role, it could be intense...it could be anything across the spectrum...but I have to feel excited, " she said.

That's also her mantra when it comes to dressing up - especially since she became the favourite child of India's fashion police. Now she often sports designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee's elegant saris and steals the show wherever she goes with her style.

"I stick to what makes me feel I look good in. If I feel I am looking good in something, I will wear it. And if it isn't, then even if it is the most beautifully crafted creation, I won't. That's the only criterion I use while wearing anything now and I guess that's what has worked for me, " she said, as she sat pretty in a black and red gown at a five-star hotel here.

Vidya has completely dressed down for her role in "No One Killed Jessica", where she portrays the strong-willed and simple Sabrina Lall, who fought an over-a-decade-long legal battle to get justice for her youngest sister, model Jessica Lall, who was shot dead by Manu Sharma in 1999.

She has gladly worn an "almost no make-up look" and worn "asexual" clothes in the film, releasing Jan 7.

"There's no shape to the clothes I have worn in the film. Loose t-shirts, men's shirts, loose jeans, spectacles...these are what I have worn to show what a regular girl Sabrina is, " she said, and added she dare not be caught wearing those sort of clothes in real life.

After "No One Killed Jessica", Vidya is looking forward to the release of Sujoy Ghosh's "Kahaani", and will start working on Milan Luthria's "A Dirty Picture". The latter will see her at her sensual best as she prepares to essay south-based actress Silk Smitha, best known for her sex appeal. The actress was found dead in her Chennai apartment in 1996.

Sonakshi Sinha ups the passion in Maxim

Says she, "My wish list is unending. I am in the industry to work with everyone". And for those who felt that Sonakshi never knew the meaning of the term 'sexy', well, here is your answer. The term 'sexy', to her, means, excitingly appealing, without having to be provocative! For her, subtlety is sexy. And for all the lovers of the hit track 'mast mast do nain', she says "My sex appeal lies in my eyes. More than shedding my clothes, it is about the expression for me".

Now everyone wants to work with Sonakshi Sinha!

Sonakshi Sinha or the Rajjo of 'Dabangg' has shot to instant fame due to her village belle act in the block buster with Salman Khan as the male lead where the two shared an amazing on screen chemistry. Such was the impact of the movie that it made Salman Khan immediately say yes to the next project with Sonakshi which is titled Kick.

Right after that the amazing beauty has also bagged a role opposite the favorite action man of B town Akshay Kumar in a project titled Joker, which is touted to be in 3D.

Both the new movies are to be Shirish Kunder's films and with these two big movies in her kitty, Sonakshi was being seen as one of the most promising new comers who were on top of the charts even before anyone realized it.

Recent reports doing the rounds suggest that Sonakshi Sinha is being considered to be cast in many top big banners and even top actors like Anil Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan who have their own production houses are said to be keen on taking her as the female lead in their future projects.

Sonakshi Sinha has indeed been quite a lucky gal not only for herself but also for the film in which she is starring, taking the case of Dabangg and perhaps it is due to this that she is also being offered an astounding one crore for her forth coming projects.

What Sonakshi Sinha has achieved is something which is quite praiseworthy, as reports suggest that even stars like Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor and he like did not get such astronomical fees right after their debut films.

Vidya to visit Silk Smitha's home for The Dirty Picture

Vidya Balan will take a sizeable chunk of time off to explore Silk Smitha's life before getting into the part for Milan Luthria's Silk Smitha biopic, The Dirty Picture. Smitha was the controversial queen of sleaze from Tamil cinema who died under mysterious circumstances in 1996.

Currently focussed on completing Sujoy Ghosh's Kahaani in Kolkata, Balan intends to visit Eluru, Smitha's birthplace in Andhra Pradesh, as well as Chennai, the late actress' workbase. She will also meet people who were close to Smitha.

Says a source, "This is Vidya's second biographical character in a year. Just as UTV made sure that her part as Sabrina Lal in No One Killed Jessica was approved by her family, Vidya wants Silk Smitha's family to give their go-ahead."

Balan is aware that the team behind this film, producer Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms and director Milan Luthria, got into trouble with their last film Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai.

Says a source, "They had to eventually deny that Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai was Haji Mastan's biopic because of pressure from his family. Kangna Ranaut's character was modelled on Madhubala. By the end of the film, they were all denying any resemblance to her."

Says Balan, "I was surprised to hear that I had reservations about doing certain scenes in The Dirty Picture. We haven't reached that stage of discussion. We're still discussing the contract."

Apparently Balan will mention in the contract that the film is indeed and irrevocably a legitimate Silk Smitha biography. Says the actress, "One has to be very careful about portraying real lives on screen, especially controversial ones. Of course, the role comes with a sleazy connotation. But I never go by the character only. I go by the entire script."

Reportedly, director Raj Kumar Santoshi is also keen on signing her in an author-backed true-life role.

Balan sighs with happiness, "I'm glad filmmakers show so much faith in my ability to portray real people. I'd love to do a comedy with Raj Kumar Santoshi. To do a role like Sridevi's in Mr India, I'd give my right arm."

Kareena hits back at Priyanka: I Am Beautiful!

The sets of television chat show 'Koffee With Karan' has turned into a battleground for all our Bollywood beauties.

With host Karan Johar fielding some of the most controversial questions to the celebrities sitting on his couch, they too, do not shy away from giving some of the wackiest answers in spite of the fact that they are on national television.

And if reports are to be believed, the celebrities have taken the show so seriously that they are suffering from the after effects of 'Koffee With Karan'! What else can we term the catfight between once good friends Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra?

When asked by Karan Johar what she would like to take away from Bebo's laptop, Piggy Chops promptly asked whether Kareena Kapoor at all has a computer in the first place!

And now it looks like that our catty Bebo is not prepared to sit back and listen to such baseless allegations. Well, did she go back to Karan Johar to sort things out with Priyanka Chopra? No, Kareena is smarter than that.

According to reports circulating in the media, Bebo has made it a point to post a text on her mobile phone informing all her friends and everyone else in the industry that some people may think that she does not own a laptop, but they will have to accept the fact that she is beautiful.

Through the message, Kareena Kapoor has made it very clear that she is better looking than Priyanka Chopra! What does Piggy Chops have to say about that? Fans are eagerly waiting for more!
