If not in films, the duo will come together for a show named Temptation. Shahrukh is the main protagonist of the show and at his request, Aamir has given his consent. Shahrukh wanted his show to be much bigger than Amitabh’s Unforgettable tour which has concluded recently and has gathered much accolades. To make the show bigger, he is all set to add big names to the show. The show has been badly effected as Katrina Kaif who is a big name in Bollywood has been discarded from the tour by Shahrukh following the ugly spat between him and Salman. Among other stars, Priyanka Chopra, Shahrukh’s good friend Arjun Rampal and Malaika Arora may join him on the tour. Temptation will kick start very soon and Shahrukh is gearing up for the tour. He is making all effort to make the affair a grand one and even bigger than Bachchan’s Unforgettable tour. Both Shahrukh and Aamir’s popularity is sea vast and undoubtedly, they will set the stage on fire.</p>

Says Subhash Ghai, “I had always wanted him (Dilip Kumar) to work again and why not? He has been a great actor and can still do wonders. Dilip Saab has kept himself away from the scene for many years. But I was persistent and kept insisting that he should start working once again and Dilip Saab agreed. We share a great comfort level; he has worked with me in three films - Vidhata, Karma and Saudagar. I explored a subject and a plot that would suit his calibre and legendary stature, and I am working on the script right now.” No other names have been mentioned of Dilip’s co-stars in the film but we have learnt that youngsters Imran Khan, Ranbir Kapoor and Shahid Kapur are being targeted.</p>
<p>Apparently the film will be about an old man who has three grandsons, each on very different paths of life. One is police officer, the other a thief and the third insane. Dilip’s character has to decide which one to leave his money to.</p>

The show introduced last month will be on till October. Apart from Dixit, PIA passengers flying to Dubai, Saudi Arabia and the US can tune into a special show titled &#8220;Dil Ki Baatein&#8221; on the reigning queen of Bollywood, Rani Mukerjee. The actress also features in the PIA in-house entertainment magazine, which has a write-up on her. But that&#8217;s not all. On some flights, Bollywood buffs can also watch film award ceremonies and stage shows by top Indian actors. Popular Bollywood songs some of which are &#8220;top choices&#8221; of Pakistani celebrities &#8212; are also played on the flights.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 0px 10px 5px 0px; float: left;" title="31-3guild3" src="http://www.bollywoodz.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/31-3guild3.jpg" alt="" width="271" height="200" />You should not join Bollywood if you want to have a good romantic love life because privacy is always under attack out there. Young and hot couple Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone are also paying a heavy price for being open about their love. Now, they have decided to tread cautiously. Ranbir and Deepika were pitted against each other, their debut films Saawariya and Om Shanti Om clashed at the theatres. The outcome of that clash was positive anyway. A few months after the films were released, they declared their love to the world. So much has been talked and written about them since then, and now, they seem to be tired of it all.Film directors are making a beeline on the hot couple. Their chemistry in the recently released Bachna Ae Haseeno seems to have ignited the interest of the filmmakers. Rajkumar Santoshi, who is working with Ranbir in Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani is eager to cast the pair together. Directors like Anees Bazmi and David Dhawan are also keen to work with them but they are not very interested.</p>
<p>Deepika said they have decided to be less public about their relationship,as their openness about it was  isunderstood,leading to loss of privacy.She added that they don&#8217;t have to work together to prove their love or togetherness. Moreover, the couple must be scared of facing the same fate that their predecessors faced. Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor failed miserably in reel life until Jab We Met, which was released after their split. Then Kareena carried the bad fate to her next relationship. Her film Tashan with boyfriend Saif Ali Khan also failed. Well, Ranbir and Deepika seem to have learnt from the mistakes of other Bollywood couples!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 0px 10px 5px 0px; float: left;" title="vivek_salman_" src="http://www.bollywoodz.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/vivek_salman_.jpg" alt="" width="248" height="178" />No other actor in the recent times has seen a star status being taken away from him no sooner than it was bestowed upon him. After films like Company and Saathiya, sky was there for an asking for Vivek Oberoi who could have fit in comfortably into action as well as lover boy role. However, that was not to be. What went wrong? In a heartfelt conversation with Sajid Khan in Sajid Superstars show, Vivek Oberoi bares it all. We bring some exclusive tidbits on what to expect from the show.This is one conversation where Vivek Oberoi is said to have bared his soul out when it comes to professional as well as personal matters. He talks about what went wrong in his career, the kind of mistakes he made over last few years and how he is looking forward to making amends in years to come. In the current times, no talk with Vivek gets completed without mentioning the name Salman Khan. He apologizes once again for the bad blood shared between the two a few moons back and promises that he would continue to ask for forgiveness till he is actually forgiven.</p>
<p>There is an emotional moment in the show where Vivek talks about what prompted him to meet Salman Khan&#8217;s mother when she was sick and hospitalized. As per him, he could understand the pain she may have gone through when Salman Khan was attacked from all ends because he has seen his own mother suffering with all sorts of things being written about him over last so many years. On a lighter note, Vivek also reveals how he was Sajid&#8217;s junior in college and entered his gang for the single most reason of &#8216;pataofying&#8217; girls! Getting candid, Vivek (like no other actor in the recent times) admits that he lost his bearings the moment his initial films turned into a success. He reveals that the moment he became a star, he started calling the shots on the film&#8217;s sets and didn&#8217;t even allow some of his directors to look at the monitor and check the scenes. However, now in the hindsight, he says that he values success because he has seen failure. Talking about how it feels like sitting at home and waiting for that elusive phone call for work, Vivek appreciates the importance of this second innings which he has kick started.</p>
<p>It is known to quite a few film followers that there was a time when he was offered films like Hum Tum, Bunty Aur Babli and quite recently even Om Shanti Om, which for reasons known to him, he refused! No wonder, Aditya Chopra had remarked - &#8216;Vivek, you have in you to become Shahrukh Khan. However, you can&#8217;t be because today itself you think that you are Shahrukh Khan!&#8221; Things turned a little lighter though in the Q&amp;A session with other celebrities. Anil Kapoor asked Vivek about the better actor between him and his dad Suresh Oberoi while Malaika Arora asked him to talk about how he could stay away from controversies for so long. However, the cake was taken by Sajid Khan who gifted him the book - &#8220;How to influence people and win friends?&#8221; Also, in a special segment of this episode, Vivek also did a stand up comedy with the spotlight entirely on him. Last but not the least, a pointed question popped to him was - &#8216;In last 7 years of his professional career, which are the three incidents that he would want to change?&#8217;<br />
What did Vivek reply? To know about this, tune in to Sajid&#8217;s Superstars at 8:00 PM, Saturday on the newly launched channel COLORS!</p>

A division bench, consisting of Chief Justice Sawtantra Kumar and Justice A P Deshpande also asked the state government and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to explain on what grounds did they allow the construction. This is not the first time that the actor’s house is in trouble.In the past too, several complaints have been filed against Khan&#8217;s bungalow.The direction was given in response to a petition alleging that 32 norms were violated while constructing the bungalow. This time around, however, the house is facing the heat over the construction of a seven-storeyed building in the backyard.A Mumbai- based social worker Amit Maro filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) last month before the High Court against the alleged illegal construction.</p>
<p>The PIL also alleged that the actor has further violated the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Notification, 1991, by getting his land classified in the relatively liberal CRZ-I, when it was in the highly restrictive CRZ-II classification.The work on the bungalow is also said to be in violation of the statutory Heritage Regulations, which regulate that the new building should be of the same height as the old structure, which stood there before, and that it should have architectural attributes in harmony with the old structure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 5px 0px" title="shreyas-talpade" src="http://www.bollywoodz.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/shreyas-talpade.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="233" />Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor both may have played antagonists in their last film together, Aggar fighting over the same girl (played by Udita Goswami) in the film. But in real life when it comes to a one &#8217;sweet thing&#8217; they have opposite views too. They shall soon be seen together in the Golmaal sequel titled, Golmaal Returns. We found out both get extremely passionate when it comes to the sweet, Gulab Jamun. While the Iqbal star passionately enjoys it and can gulp down 18-20 at one go, Tusshar passionately hates the very mention of it. Shreyas had once mentioned to us, &#8220;I am crazy about Gulab Jamuns. But I always have one pre-condition, I only eat them only if there is dahi (curd) to mix with it. In fact on the sets of Om Shanti Om, both - my director Farah Khan and co-star Shah Rukh Khan were left speechless when they saw me relishing this combination merrily. This special combination has been my favourite sweet dish since my childhood days.&#8221; On the other hand Tusshar has his reasons for his revulsion to the sweet delicacy. He reveals, &#8220;When I was a kid, in an excitement I had once eaten 7-8 Gulab Jamuns together.</p>
<p>Following which I had fallen seriously ill. It remained imbibed in my head that it was all because of this sweet dish that I had. From that day onwards I started hating them and have never even attempted having them even once again.&#8221; The only actor apart from Shreyas who loves the Gulab Jamun – curd combination is the Bheja Fry star, Vinay Pathak. He too swears by this unusual combo and keeps recommending it to his pals but then whenever he does that he always ends up getting &#8216;Are you mad?&#8217; kind of a look on their faces.</p>

She plays a deglamourised role in &#8216;Chamku&#8217;. Most heroines wouldn&#8217;t want to get into that deglamourous space, especially in a film that&#8217;s driven by my character. But she agreed,&#8221; Bobby said.While Bobby plays the title role of a Maoist in the film, Priyanka, who is his love interest in the movie, is a schoolteacher and is seen mainly in plain chiffons.Bobby&#8217;s elder brother Sunny too had serious problems finding a female lead for his home production, &#8220;The Man&#8221;. It was Shilpa Shetty who came to Sunny&#8217;s rescue. Apart from Priyanka, Bobby is thankful to Riteish Deshmukh who plays a cameo in &#8220;Chamku&#8221;. &#8220;Riteish was very sweet. He agreed to play the small part of my friend in &#8216;Chamku&#8217; without a second thought at a time when he&#8217;s busy doing major projects,&#8221; said Bobby who had once agreed to play Riteish&#8217;s elder brother in Vikram Bhatt&#8217;s &#8220;Bardasht&#8221;.</p>
<p>Bobby has now another problem at hand. After losing 10 kg for his role in &#8220;Chamku&#8221;, he is now heavily into chocolates. And his family is very worried. &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t easy for me to lose weight. But once I made up my mind, I did it. But now I&#8217;m trying to make back that weight and bingeing on chocolates. I&#8217;m even stealing them from my sons,&#8221; laughed Bobby. More dilemmas - Bobby had to cut his hair really short for the part. &#8220;I was reluctant. But it was one of the pre-conditions for doing &#8216;Chamku&#8217;. I was wondering if I should grow it back to the way it was. I&#8217;ve decided to stick to short hair. I feel I can play more characters this way. Also, my hair dries after a shower even before I towel it. I also don&#8217;t have to use any hair product.&#8221; Released Friday, the brutal film about oppression, injustice and Maoist rebellion was more in the news for its unusual title. Commenting on that, Bobby said: &#8220;I thought &#8216;Chamku&#8217; was just a working title. But it&#8217;s my character&#8217;s name. And it completely fits in.</p>
<p>&#8221; Bobby plays a guy from Bihar, who becomes a Naxalite after his family is brutally murdered. &#8220;I play a guy who never gets choices in life. He has no beliefs, no desires until he meets a woman who makes him realise he has the right to happiness.&#8221;Bobby recently appeared on the reality show &#8220;Dus Ka Dum&#8221;, being hosted by Salman Khan, and says it was his first ever appearance on any such show.&#8221;It was my first reality show, and with Priyanka. In the beginning I was nervous. I&#8217;ve known Salman for years. He used to take me horse riding and for bike stunts. In 2000 and 2003 we did stage shows together. He made me comfortable on the show. So did Priyanka,&#8221; he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 0px 10px 5px 0px; float: left;" title="115728y" src="http://www.bollywoodz.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/115728y.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="187" />Low-budget productions featuring unknown actors are becoming box-office successes in the Indian film industry, as making blockbusters with big-name stars becomes increasingly expensive. Bollywood A-listers like Shah Rukh Khan and &#8220;The Big B&#8221; Amitabh Bachchan have dominated the industry in recent years, but aspiring directors now believe that success is possible without them- and at a fraction of the cost.Successful films made on a shoestring include maverick director Ram Gopal Varma&#8217;s black magic horror &#8220;Phoonk&#8221; (Blown Away) and &#8220;Rock On&#8221;, about four friends in a rock band.They were followed earlier this year by &#8220;Jannat&#8221; (Paradise), &#8220;Aamir&#8221;, a story of a Muslim doctor held hostage by terrorists, and the love story &#8220;Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na&#8221; (Either You Know It or You Don’t).&#8221;Phoonk&#8221; even broke the Bollywood tradition of featuring the film&#8217;s stars prominently in advertising.</p>
<p>Instead it showed a large, black crow on publicity material.Varma said his success proved that throwing money at films is now not everything in Bollywood.&#8221;It&#8217;s common knowledge that many a time stars are signed by directors not because they fit the characters but because the distributors and trade pundits demand them,&#8221; he said.&#8221;&#8216;Phoonk&#8217; got tremendous opening all over the country and that proves that&#8230; you can pull in the audiences with a crow.&#8221;Trade analyst Taran Adarsh said the development was positive and could make Bollywood and its traditional Hindi-language song and dance routine genre more diverse. &#8220;Newer stories are finding their way into theatres in India,&#8221; he wrote on his popular website &#8220;Both &#8216;Phoonk&#8217; and &#8216;Rock On&#8217; didn&#8217;t boast of A-list actors to lure the audiences in hordes, but the films let the powerful content do the talking,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Actor Rajeev Khandelwal, who starred in &#8220;Aamir&#8221;, agreed, arguing the case for greater artistic integrity. &#8220;Bollywood is changing for the better with more meaningful scripts. I got many offers to do commercial films but I wanted to do a film with more meaningful scripts,&#8221; he said.&#8221;&#8216;Aamir&#8217; was one of them. Thankfully it clicked and I am happy to see that.&#8221;Indian film industry specialist Vinod Mirani offered another explanation: in the fiercely competitive world of Bollywood and global economic uncertainty, at the moment less is sometimes more.&#8221;These small films are less risky and therefore producers are taking their chances,&#8221; he said.&#8221;If they click it, they make it big. films like &#8216;Phoonk&#8217; probably only cost 20 million rupees but made five times that at the box office.&#8221;They will also make more money via satellite rights. So it makes economic sense to make such films.&#8221;</p>
