Ameesha has just returned back home from a London trip with her business partner Kuunal Goomer. After being on a location hunt for their maiden home-production Paradise Street, they are already feeling the heat back in Mumbai.

But Ameesha’s happy that she’ll be dodging the summer soon, as she is scheduled to shoot in Istanbul for practically half of next month for Race 2.

A source says, “Ameesha’s birthday is on June 9. So she might also be celebrating it in Turkey itself with the entire cast and crew. With lots of interesting things lined up for IIFA Awards (that takes place during the same time), she is trying to squeeze in as much work as possible.”

Ameesha who has just completed Shortcut Romeo with Neil Nitin Mukesh, is apparently very excited with the way the film has shaped up. The actor also begins shooting her film with Sunny Deol next week and is very excited about her role in it.

“She will need a gap of at least month in August post-Race 2 to prepare for David Dhawan’s film. She needs time get into the skin of character as she will be playing a hooker for the first time, ” adds the source.

The source also informed us that the actress is very kicked about a double role in a film that her partner Kuunal Goomer has been working on since a couple of months. “She feels that this double role will be her best role ever and the details of the same shall also be announced soon, ” adds the source.

Amidst the hectic schedule, Ameesha and Kuunal who are huge cricket fans will also be watching a couple of IPL games live. In fact the two also plan to invest in the next season of the game.

The actress also feels that Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Mumbai Indians stand a very good chance of entering the finals. Lastly, keeping in shape for films like Race 2, Bhaiyaji Superhit, Paradise Street and Shortcut Romeo is a challenge and she is enjoying every moment of it!

Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh is reportedly set to romance actress Ameesha Patel in his next movie, which has been tentatively titled Shortcut Romeo. This is for the first time, the Bollywood stars can be seen together on-screen in the project that is a remake of Tamil super-hit film Thiruttu Payale.

Thiruttu Payale has been directed by Susi Ganesan and it is a real life experience based entertainer. The movie has witnessed huge success at Box Office with its collection crossing Rs 50 crores. Now, Susi is said to be debuting in Bollywood with the remake of the same film. Sources claim that he has roped in Neil Nitin Mukesh and Ameesha Patel for his first Bollywood project.

However, Thiruttu Payale is a thriller about love and betrayal and has shocking twists and turns. It is not a routine romantic-comedy and it has a mature touch.

Sources say that the movie Shortcut Romeo requires experienced actors. So the director has roped in Neil and Ameesha as he thinks that they have great potential to play the lead roles.

She looks hot even with that sweet smile. Amisha Patel was waiting for this day. The actress is happy that with Sanjay Dutt starrer Chatur Singh Two Star, she would be seen on the big screen again after Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic which released way back in 2008.

If Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic had her playing a seductive siren, Chatur Singh Two Star is no different. Amisha is again set to scorch the big screen with her saucy look and a sensuous number in the film. But, isn't she worried about the delay in release of the film, which was supposed to hit the theatres two years back?

Amisha is confident that the film will do well at theatres. In it she is paired opposite Sanjay Dutt for the first time. The actress says, “No, not at all as its look as well as the music too are very contemporary. Moreover, the story is such that it would have worked 10 years ago or even 10 years down the line. No, I am not worried or depressed at all. On the contrary, I am really excited about the film's release now since it has shaped up so fantastic.”

The actress has also done a sexy number wearing a transparent red sari. She looks shapely and we envy that hourglass body as the actress says she hardly diets.

Have a look at Amisha Patel’s saucy look from Chatur Singh Two Star. You’ll be convinced that she’s still a hot property.

Actor Sanjay Dutt, who will be seen next in soon-to-be released action-comedy Chatur Singh--Two Star says he would like to stick to films that entertain the audience as they don't prefer "preachy" movies.

"I want to do films which entertain people. I did films like Knock Out and Lamha though both these films were good. But today audiences do not like movies that are preachy or give lecture. They feel why to see this lecture kind of films...as it is they are aware about the issues like that of Kashmir," Sanjay told PTI.

"So I have decided to do just commercial films which I used to do. I am not here to give lecture to the audience," he said.

Chatur Singh..., is directed by Ajay Chandhok and stars Sanjay Dutt, Anupam Kher, and Ameesha Patel in lead roles.

About the film, Sanjay said, "It is out-an-out comedy and a commercial film you can go and have a blast. The movie is about a police officer who is funny and it is Sonia (Ameesha Patel) who helps her get right clues. All this leads to a sequence of hilarious events."

When asked about similarity between American-Czech comedy film The Pink Panther (2006) and Chatur Singh--Two Star, the actor said, "There is no similarity. It is not a copy of the Pink Panther series because not even a single film of the series has clicked in India. It would be futile to copy such a franchise."

"The movie is based on a novel called Chalaak Jasoos but lot of changes have been made in the original subject, he said.

On his character, "I play the role of a silly police officer who thinks he is doing all the right things but whatever he does gets him in a mess. Also, I had to gain weight for the film."

Sanjay has also lent his voice for two songs--Murga anda dega do oye oye and Singh Singh Chatur Singh for the film. "I thought I will try singing if anytime I don't get roles in films then I can at least become a singer," he chuckled.

Prior to this, the actor has sung for his films like Kaante (2002) and Khoobsurat (1999) and a song 'Aapke dil nein for singer Asha Bhosle's album, Asha & Friends.

Produced by Mohammad Aslam and Parag Sanghvi the movie releases on August 19.

The original Race released to packed audiences in 2008. Abbas-Mastan's entertaining murder mystery took the box office by storm to become one of the highest grossers of the year.

Ameesha Patel has now joined the film's sequel. The sequel, of course, is expected to outdo even the original.

Simply titled Race 2 as of now, the cast includes Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham, Deepika Padukone and Chitrangda Singh. It is learnt that Ameesha will star opposite Anil Kapoor, who played a quirky, corrupt detective in Race.

A source close to the star has revealed that Ameesha will sport a bikini in the film, adding to its glam quotient. Many will remember that Ameesha sported a yellow bikini in Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic. Though the film bombed, Ameesha's sizzling turn brought her back into the public eye.

Race 2 will go on floors this October and will release in August 2012.

Ameesha Patel certainly knows to keep her cards close to her chest and seems like she is doing a hella good job playing it well.

Ameesha had not just smitten everyone with her beauty but is also enamouring one and all by her decision to float her production house along with her friend Kunal.

The actress who recently took an international tour for an award ceremony was seen interacting with the likes of Shah Rukh Khan and Anil Kapoor.

It is also learnt that quite a few filmmakers like Rakesh Roshan and Ramesh Taurani were really impressed by her being one of the youngest and most good-looking producers in the industry. So much so, they went all out giving filmmaking tips to both Ameesha and Kunal for their successful innings.

But if you thought that was all, then you guessed it wrong. This damsel has a lot in her kitty.

Within two months of launching her banner Ameesha Patel Productions, the actress is close to the heels of announcing her second director with the first being David Dhawan.

After her successful tour, Ameesha is now gearing up for her forthcoming release Chatur Singh: Two Star in which she stars alongside close friend Sanjay Dutt. Well Ameesha, there is surely a lot to look forward to from you.

Forgotten hottie Ameesha Patel does not have any films but for "Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai" to her name. Most of her movies bombed at the box office.

So, our lady has supposedly launched her own production house with her own trumpet blast last weekend. She had invited all the popular names of B-Town to the party which was held at an uptown lounge bar.

Guess who didnt make it to her guest list, her own parents Amit and Asha.

Ameesha has always known to have a "love-hate" relationship with her mom and dad. But there was kissing and making up last year and we were told that the differences have been resolved. Doesnt look like it !!

When contacted Ameesha's mom, she tried to evade our questions and responded saying, "I don't know what to say. I don't want to say anything. Please don't call me in the future for anything." When told that we'd be writing about their exclusion on the guest list, she said, "I don't care." And hung up.

Ameesha also didnt want to talk about it.. !!

Cricketer Yuvraj Singh gave Ameesha Patel special tickets to the World Cup finals between India and Sri Lanka at Wankhede stadium.

With that one stroke, the all-rounder must've broken several hearts. That said, given the long line of B-Town beauties on Yuvi's arm, is Ameesha the latest maiden to be bowled over? It sure seems to be.

Ameesha confirms, "Yuvi is a good friend and he invited me." And if there was any doubt about her special friendship with the cricketer, the words of gushing praise give a clear indication.

"Yuvi bowled, fielded and batted superbly on Saturday.

When he almost got run out I screamed the loudest! Saif (Ali Khan) and Ranbir (Kapoor), who were in the same box, looked at me as if I was mad because I was making them so nervous."

The actress sat in the specially reserved ICC Hospitality Box near the pavilion says, "People kept asking me to quiet down as I was the most boisterous. I kept shouting for Yuvi to play stably."

She wanted to meet Yuvraj after the end of play, but the crowds were hysterical by then. "It took me three hours to get home," she says.

There are new additions to the 'actress friends' list of the Man Of The Series Yuvraj Singh. First, Amisha Patel made headlines with his special invite to her to see the match and then party with him.

Now it seems Neha Dhupia too partied with him. And strangely, the picture got leaked to the media. Now, we are sure that our girls don't do such stuff for publicity but well, they certainly aren't minding the attention from the Bad Boy of Indian cricket.

At the post final felicitation, when Yuvi was asked what all he would do now, he had said, "Tonight's gonna be a good night." It indeed was for him!

Remember Yuvraj Singh wanted to win the World Cup for a special one? Well, seems like the lady who inspired the ace cricketer to do his best is none other than actor Ameesha Patel. Reason?

Ameesha Patel was Yuvraj's special guest in ICC's hospitality box. Apparently, the cricketer gifted his s

pecial tickets to the World Cup finals between India and Sri Lanka at Wankhede stadium to the actress.

"Yuvi is a good friend and he invited me. Yuvi bowled, fielded and batted superbly on Saturday. When he almost got run out I screamed the loudest!" Patel told Mid Day.

Indeed, her screams were rather loud, much to the displeasure of co-actors Ranbir Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, who had to ask the lady to zip it.

"Saif (Ali Khan) and Ranbir (Kapoor), who were in the same box, looked at me as if I was mad because I was making them so nervous. People kept asking me to quiet down, as I was the most boisterous. I kept shouting for Yuvi to play stably." she added.

That's not all! Patel was desperate to meet Yuvraj as well though that was not possible as the crowds were delirious.

And here's what she thinks of the other cricketers:

Gautam Gambhir: "We all wanted him to complete his 100 and all stood up and clapped when he got out as he played fabulously."

Sachin Tendulkar: "I find him too cute. When he got out, we all thought we had lost the match."

Lasith Malinga: "I just love him. I'm dying to meet him and give him a hug and a kiss. I find him very interesting and unconventional."
