One of the most successful associations in the history of Bollywood Box Office - Ram Gopal Varma and the Bacchan’s are no more.
The Duo has worked together in films that turned to be Blockbusters like Sarkar, Sarkar raj, Rann, RGV Ki Aag and Nishabdh.
As reported Abhishek Bacchan was dropped out from RGV’s ongoing project titled 'Department' and the reason behind it was said to be the poor performance of Abhishek in Dum Maro Dum. 
Though in the initial stage, Abhishek by himself politely said ‘NO’ to RGV’s project that started rolling last month, by acting promptly the angered first family of Bollywood to the ‘unprofessional attitude’ towards Dum Maro Dum, Amitabh decided not to be a part of RGV's project.
According to the sources “RGV started making uncharitable remarks on Dum Maro Dum and Amitabh Bachchan is no longer interested in working with a filmmaker who has meted out such worst treatment to his son”
Sheila Ki Jawani is a rage among the youth. Katrina Kaif has been criticized for her inability to dance over the last few years and this song proved her critics wrong. The song has also found a place among top songs in music channels along with Munni Badnaam Hui from Dabangg. It is still topping the charts.
All is well aware about the cold war between Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone. Deepika did a special song in Dum Maaro Dum and the song was expected to do well and push Sheila Ki Jawani to the back seat. But nothing of that sort happened. The film sunk without trace and so was the song. When asked to respond to this observation, Kat condemned comparisons between the two songs.
"Every song has its own importance and each actress has her own plus points. We do what the choreographers want us to do. There is no place for comparison here," quips the stunner.
Katrina is currently busy with Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. and it is news that she was offered another item song for a whopping Rs. 3 crore that was reportedly declined by the actress.
Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan, who steps into the shoes of a police officer in his upcoming movie 'Dum Maro Dum', says that the layered character of ACP Kamath was a challenge for him.
Though the actor has played cops on screen before, the character was unique in it's attitude, said Abhishek. "Playing a police officer is nothing new for me but in 'Dum Maro Dum', I am playing a different type of police officer, ACP Kamath. A unique and layered character and the attitude of the character appealed to me," Abhishek who was in town to promote the film, told reporters.
"ACP Kamath is a person with so many emotions, turmoil, rage, aggressiveness, but always has a smile on face. What I liked most is the outlook of the officer towards his life. He has a unique attitude and style so it was exciting doing this particular role," said the actor about the film directed by Rohan Sippy.
'Dum Maro Dum' also stars Bipasha Basu, Rana Daggubati and Prateik Babbar.
Rohan Sippy's film 'Dum Maaro Dum' is being hit by controversies. This time Goa State Women's Commission (GSWC) has protested taking cognizance of the alleged derogatory references to Goan women in the forthcoming movie. GSWC Chairman Ezilda Sapeco filed a complaint with the local police urging them to inquire into the complaint. She has said that the movie might result in breach of peace in the state. Sippy's flick, which depicts the drug underbelly of the tourist state, has raised a stink in Goa with lawmakers, social activists, women welfare groups and now GSWC expressing their reservation on the movie. However, director Rohan Sippy is unperturbed and says he has not done anything wrong and has made the film responsibly. After watching it, the people's misunderstanding will be removed, he adds.
The Panaji bench of the Bombay High Court has issued notices to the director and producers of the film over a petition seeking a ban on the film scheduled to be released April 22. Rodrigues alleged that the film featuring Abhishek Bachchan and Deepika Padukone portrayed Goa and its women in bad light. He said the film would have an adverse impact on the state`s tourism industry. Meanwhile, Goa Tourism Minister Nilkanth Halarnkar has said that he would be taking up the issue with its director.
I am single and ready to mingle,” exclaimed Tollywood star RaNa Daggubati, reacting to a question about his alleged linkup with sultry Bollywood siren Bipasha Basu.
RaNa, the grandson of legendary producer Rama Naidu, was in Chennai for Ugadi and spoke about his foray into B’Town with Rohan Sippy’s Dum Maaro Dum, his craze for Rajinikanth and the yearning to act in a Tamil flick.
But first things first. “It was Shriya earlier and now Bips! I really don’t want to waste time reacting to baseless rumours! Shriya has worked in my dad’s productions and I have known her for more than 10 years now! As for Bipasha, she was my co-star and I enjoyed every bit of our shooting. Please respect art and creativity. When you are out to promote a film, these absurd reports shift the focus from the agenda. It will not help bring the crowd to the theatres either,” he says. He quickly adds, “I have a long journey in cinema.”
In Dum Maaro Dum, RaNa plays Joaquim Fernandes, a Goa-based musician and deejay. “There is a classic term ‘Susegad’ they use in Goa, which means a chilled out person. That’s what my character is all about! DJ Joki is laidback and a recluse till one day his entire family is wiped out by the drug mafia.”
He did his homework before portraying a Goan guy. RaNa says that he stayed in Mumbai for a month before shooting commenced and worked on various looks with hundreds of costumes from local Goan shops. “I have never played a musical instrument in my life so I had to take guitar classes from music director Pritam’s assistant. Most of the people in Goa speak Konkani.
Since the film was shot in sync-sound system, I had to learn the correct diction. Thanks to a workshop and Sasha, a DJ I met in Goa and who helped me in many ways, I got it right.”
On sharing screen space with Abhishek and Prateik he says, “There are three parallel stories running in the film. All three of us meet at one point of time; it was a great mix of seniors and younger actors like Prateik and me. The three of us bonded so well that we felt that we were on a vacation.”
The moment you tell him that Rajinikanth’s next film is RaNa the Leader star becomes ecstatic!
“I was in Mumbai when I read the headline in a local newspaper — ‘Rajinikanth is Rana’! I was damn thrilled and couldn’t control my emotions. I called my mom and thanked her for naming me RaNa. I am crazy about Rajini sir and his films,” he candidly admits.
RaNa says that he is more a Chennaiite than a Hyderabadi. “I was born in Chennai and studied in Chettinad School. Even after we shifted to Hyderabad, I used to spend my summer hols here. Bunny, Ram Charan and I grew up in Chennai.”
He has a cherished dream to act in a Tamil movie and the day is not far off, he feels. “In fact, I wanted to make my debut in Tamil but the film with Selvaraghavan did not take off. I am constantly making efforts to act in a Tamil film, though I have become busy in Tollywood with Nenu Naa Rakshasi with Ileana and a new film Naa Ishtam with Genelia,” he signs off.
This is the year of item songs in Bollywood. Buzz is that the latest sensation is going to be Mallika Sherawat's sexy and steamy number titled 'Jalebi Bai' from Indra Kumar's 'Double Dhamaal'. Sources say the song is likely to be more erotic than 'Munni' and choreographer Ganesh Acharya is promising an awesome performance. The actress has put it simply as 'Wait and Watch'. We will be anxiously doing just that and are sure that Malaika, Deepika, Katrina and Lisa are doing the same. May the best woman win?
The battle to steal the show with Item numbers is getting more intense. Abhishek Bachchan is the latest entrant in what had been a catfight among ladies. They include Katrina Kaif, Malaika Arora Khan, Mallika Sherwat and Deepika Padukone. Sad though for Deepika Padukone is that Abhishek's item number is in the same film 'Dum Maaro Dum' as hers. An inside source says that composer Pritam and song writer Jaideep Singh were promptly roped in to make the prefect song for the hunky star. Its title is 'Thayn Thayn' and it has a funky groove. Abhishek's incredible performance in the song will definitely put Deepika in danger of losing the limelight.
