Kangna Ranaut injured while making love..

While shooting for an intimate scene with John Abraham, Kangna Ranaut's glass bangles broke and left her with several cuts..

Call them occupational hazards?

Kangna Ranaut recently learnt about the occupational hazards in filming a scene the hard way when she injured herself on the sets of her new film 'Shootout at Wadala' directed by Sanjay Gupta.

According to our sources, despite John holding on to Kangana’s hands quite gently, Kangana injured herself while shooting for an intimate romantic scene with John Abraham with her glass bangles that were broken during the scene.

“The scene is meant to be intensely passionate because John and Kangna’s characters meet after a considerable gap of time. To get their expressions right they had even rehearsed for the scene earlier. However, when the actual scene was being shot, the glass bangles she was wearing, broke. The cuts around her wrist made her hand bleed."

"Kangana was given first aid immediately and a doctor was called to attend to her. Later, when the actor was back to resume shoot, the director didn’t want to risk Kangana getting hurt again and was given gold bangles to wear for the scene,” explained our source.

Kangana is a chameleon: Milan Luthria

Beside proving her talent as an actor, Kangana Ranaut is making a mark in the fashion world too.

The actor has set a trend with the different looks and designer clothes she adorns at events and functions. In fact, young gals are aping her style and religiously follow her fashion sense in trendy and film magazines.

Director Milan Luthria, who worked with Kangana in 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai' described her as someone versatile and creative.

"Kangana looks radically different with each look she tries yet looks stunning in all. In addition, she's extremely well prepared and knowledgeable about fashion. Plus she has a unique sex appeal that has given her a different identity altogether. Last but not the least, Kangana has a very fine bone structure making her face a photographer's delight," said the director laughingly adding "My nickname for Kangana is chameleon."

Talking about 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai', "I distinctly remember her walking into my office with a complete bound folder of each and every look she planned to have in the film. And she was spot-on. What's more, Kangana is deceptively professional. She'll party hard with all the crew but will be the first to report on set," recalled Luthria.

Sameera goes wild..

Sameera Reddy is the talk of the town for the high octane stunts that she had pulled off in Tezz.

Tezz, the multistarrer that has Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut, Zayed Khan and Sameera Reddy is directed by veteran film maker Priyadharshan.

For the film Tezz, Sameera performed risky stunts like riding a Speed bike and a canoe under supervision of a Hollywood stunt team in Scotland that was responsible for the action scenes in Harry Potter.

According to Sameera, the hard work she had put in was absolutely worth it as she has been getting a wonderful response. Her newfound popularity in Bollywood has not caused her to forget South cinema and said that she is looking forward to doing more films in Tamil and Telugu and hopefully, she will be offered some wild roles!

Gowtham's film with Dhanush..

The buzz around the tinsel town is that ace director Gautham Menon might start his next project with Dhanush in the lead.

The Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya director is said to have met up with the Kolaveri boy recently to discuss his next script. We also hear that Dhanush will be signing on the dotted lines soon. The official announcement about the project is expected anytime.

The actor is presently busy with his Bollywood Debut Raanjhnaa that is being directed by Anand Rai. He is being paired up with Sonam kapoor and Kangana Ranaut. He has also accepted a project with the Bharath Bala Productions.

Gautham Menon is presently shooting for his Neethane En Ponvasantham with Jiiva and Samantha in the lead. He also has Yohan Adhyayam Ondru in his kitty.

Hot new poster of Tezzz

'Tezz' is an upcoming Hindi action thriller film directed by Priyadarshan.

Tezz features an ensemble cast that includes Mohanlal, Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgan, Kangna Ranaut, Sameera Reddy and Zayed Khan in main roles.

The stunts for the film has been choreographed by Gareth Milne, the stunt co-ordinator of 'Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer' and 'National Treasure: Book of Secrets' . Tezz was earlier titled 'Bullet Train'.

Hrithik accompanies father behind the camera ..

Hrithik Roshan, who plays a superhero in 'Krrish II, has decided to help his father Rakesh Roshan in the direction department.

Hrithik is now going to be the associate director for the sequel to Krish that started rolling December 1st at Filmistan Studios with Vivek Oberoi, Kangna Ranaut and Priyanka Chopra.

This is not the first time that the actor has stepped behind the camera for his father. Hrithik was an assistant director to Roshan Sr. for his films like 'Koyla' and 'Karan Arjun'. Apart from this, he has helped his father out whenever the two have made a film together.

The first schedule of the film started on December 1st and Hrithik was not a part of the first schedule but has come on the sets to take part in the direction process.

Hrithik will join the cast in front of the camera from the second schedule.

I'm happy being away from Item numbers: Kangana Ranaut

Shweta Tiwari’s item number in “Miley Na Miley Hum” has become a rage, but the film’s lead actress Kangana Ranaut has no regrets about not being a part of it.

“I have been offered several item numbers. I will get tired making people count the offers! But I have always said item numbers are not on my priority list,” said Kangana and added “I never thought of doing item numbers so far. But never say never. Maybe I'd do them some day, who knows?”

The 24-year-old national award-winning actress says she is glad that Shweta’s item number “Katto gilheri chammak challo” has received a positive response. “It is great that the song is being liked. After all, it is from our film. Shweta has done a great job and I don’t think anyone could have done it better than her,” she said.

The movie, which marks the debut of Chirag Paswan, politician Ram Vilas Paswan’s son, is releasing this Friday. It also features Sagarika Ghatge and Neeru Bajwa.

Kangna bags Krrish 2

Kangna Ranaut, who has set the screen ablaze with a variety of screen characters from supermodel to a small-town girl, is now all set to play India's first female sci-fi character in Rakesh Roshan's sequel to Krrish.

Kangna was the original choice for this role and was approached by the superhit filmmaker six months ago. However, owing to her other commitments, she had declined the offer. Destiny had other plans. Rakesh Roshan, who subsequently approached a number of other actresses, found himself back at square one because talks with all his other choices fell through. And, Kangna, the original choice is now the supergirl in Krrish 2.

Two simultaneous movies facilitated Kangna's entry into this superhero franchise. First the shooting of her film Dedh Ishqya was pushed to early next year. Second, Roshan himself moved the shooting of the Krrish sequel to December this year. So, when the offer came to Kangna a second time over, she was delighted to accept the movie with Hrithik Roshan.

One knows that Kangna has essayed roles that deal with fine human emotions, be it her role as a diva in Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, a bindaas small town girl in Tanu Weds Manu or a supermodel in Fashion with elan.

"Moving to a sci-fi character that draws its inspiration from superwomen like Wonder Woman or Supergirl was a challenge and a natural progression for an actress who loves challenges. She's embarked on a rigorous training schedule which includes an intense martial arts programme. She believes the role is going to be a lot of fun and is looking forward to this," says sources close to the actress.

Kingfisher model Esha Gupta in "Krrish 2"

She has just signed her first film and the movie is yet to go on floors, but it seems Kingfisher girl Esha Gupta has set the ball rolling for herself as she might replace Jacqueline Fernandez in Krrish 2. Ooh! The newbie might step in to do the role which no other actress is agreeing to do.

The problem of second lead in Krrish 2 is yet to be solved! First it was Kangana Ranaut who was approached for the role, followed by Sonakshi Sinha, but it was Chitrangada Singh who finally agreed to do the film. But due to some dates issues the actress bowed out. Then Jacqueline Fernandez came to the scene. But as per reports, Jackie wasn’t so happy with the role offered to her, and her beau Sajid Khan also thought the same way.

Now, as neither Chitrangada nor Jacqueline is willing to be part of Krrish 2, the makers have set their eyes on the hottest new starlet on the block, and she is Esha Gupta. The dusky bombshell who is also known as desi Angelina Jolie, has created ripples in the modeling world and now she might do the same in Bollywood too.

Madhavan out of "Tanu weds Manu" sequel

Hardly one month after the sequel to the matrimonial comedy Tanu Weds Manu was announced, the audiences were expecting the same cast, Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan, to star in lead roles of the sequel as well!

However, reports are now suggesting that though Kangana Ranaut will still be cast in the sequel, R Madhavan might be left out! A source revealed a tabloid that initially the producers wanted to cast the same couple for the sequel as well. They felt that there was uniqueness in their pair and they wanted to retain that charm created in the first part.

However, R Madhavan reportedly quoted a huge amount and raised his fee by a big margin. The producers felt that they can rather sign an A-listed Bollywood star at the same price! Not only this, a bigger male lead would take the scale of the movie to newer heights.

And since the time the news has broken out, there have been speculations that if not Madhavan, then who will be cast in the sequel! Well, we’ll keep you informed. Watch this space for more.

Films Now, Politics Later: Chirag Paswan

Politics has been a natural progression for many actors, but 26-year-old Chirag Paswan has already planned his political journey.

However, as of now, the starry light-eyed youngster and son of Rajya Sabha MP Ram Vilas Paswan is all set for his tryst with the glamour world. He'll debut opposite Kangna Ranaut in "Miley Naa Miley Hum", which hits theatres on November 4.

His love for showbiz began early in life, he says. After watching a movie, he'd lock himself in the bathroom and stand in front of a mirror for hours, enacting scenes from the film. "I idolize Amitabh Bachchan, I cannot look beyond him. I would walk around shirtless after watching Salman's films and start stuttering after watching Shah Rukh's films," laughs Chirag.

"Miley Naa Miley Hum" is a romantic film, but has a serious message, says the debutant. "It talks about kids without a conventional family and their emotional journey," he says. The film also stars Neeru Singh Bajwa and Sagarika Ghatge. "I've got to romance three girls in my first film, I couldn't have asked for more," he winks. And any romance in real life? "Off-screen, my life is pretty boring. I'm not dating; I'm still single," he sighs.

That brings us to his link-up with his leading lady during the making of the film. "Kangna and I are good friends but I realize 'good friends' is a different terminology in the film industry. We were laughing when our link-up stories appeared. I'm a shy person, I am not comfortable talking about link-ups, affairs or my personal life, but I know people succumb to it and eventually I too will love gossip. The day they stop writing about us there will be a problem... so good or bad, let them write," says Chirag, laughing.

Since he has a political background, connecting with the masses comes easy to him, he says. "That's one common thread between politics and cinema. I'd accompany my father to all his election campaigns and rallies," says Chirag, who's made up his mind to get into politics eventually. "As of now, my priority is movies, but a few years down the line, I will contest the elections," he signs off.

Stereotypes should be obsolete: Lisa Haydon

There used to be a time when models, who wanted to be part of the film industry, were questioned on their capability to actually act. However, model-turned-actress Lisa Haydon sees no logic in that question anymore.

“Aren’t there plenty of models who can act well and look good at the same time?” questions Lisa, adding, “Over the years, models — men and women — have proven their credibility as versatile actors. This thought that models can’t act, should be made obsolete.”

Rascals, which is Lisa's second film, will see her playing a fun and crazy girl. “She’s so different from the way I am in reality, but that’s the fun part of it. Everyone is a little crazy in the film. I’ve said lines I’d never say — it was quite amazing an experience,” she said.

Lisa's debut film Aisha had her rubbing shoulders with a very young cast but in the case of Rascals, she had the very senior and talented Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn for company. “Just to think that I worked with the likes of Sanjay and Ajay so early in my career is rather encouraging,” she mentioned, adding, “They were really helpful during the shoot; moreover, their spontaneity and commitment to the job keeps newcomers like us on our toes.”

The high point of the film is her seductive number Shake It Saiyyan and Lisa’s passion for dance made it easy for her. “I’ve rehearsed tirelessly for the song; designer Aki Narula has put together eight fabulous outfits and the final outcome looks pretty sizzling,” she confesses.

This part-Malayali-part-Australian, who’s been a successful model, feels acting and modelling are very different from each other. “Acting needs more involvement while modelling is more about confidence and attitude — it’s not just glamour. Sadly, despite all the hard work, models don’t get enough credit,” states Lisa.

Kangana was snubbed..

It was supposed to be a meeting that might have been a reconciliation of sorts for Bollywood actor Kangna Ranaut with international society swan Paris Hilton, after the confusion over claims of being the face of Paris’ brand. But Paris didn’t have much to say to Kangna except for a cursory handshake at the party hosted to welcome her in Mumbai.

There was considerable confusion when Kangna made claims that her staff had been contacted by an agency to endorse Paris’s brand of accessories. The fashionista denied it and on her arrival to Mumbai, clarified that she is the face of her own brand.

The party that ensued on Paris' touchdown to Mumbai saw an eclectic guest list, which surprisingly also included Kangna and one of her staff members.

“Kangna made several attempts to speak to Paris Hilton at the party, but she got mobbed as soon as she entered the venue. The host of the party Queenie graciously introduced Kangna to Paris, but she just flitted past her even before Kangna could say a ‘hi’ to her,” reveals a source present at the party.

Kangna made another attempt to get close to Paris, but the latter was busy posing with others and enjoying herself so she couldn’t apparently find the time to talk to the actor. “Just before Kangna decided to leave (post 2am), her companion went towards Paris to try and get a word with the hotel heiress. Paris continued pouting and posing for her fans. After a point, Kangna signalled her staff member to leave and both of them walked out of the party in a huff,” adds the source.

Tanu weds Manu - Sequel finalised..

After the success of the superhit romantic comedy Tanu Weds Manu, director Aanand L. Rai is all set to make a sequel of the film.

The sequel is to be produced by Eros International.

"I am thrilled to join hands with Eros on this film. I am confident that together with Eros, we will make some very entertaining cinema. I hope to recreate the same magic with the sequel and reach out to global audience," Rai said in a statement.

The details on the film including cast and crew is yet to be finalised and will be announced shortly.

Tanu Weds Manu, which released Feb 25 this year, starred R. Madhavan and Kangana Ranaut in the lead.

Kangna's empty boast ??

Kangna Ranaut has lately been boasting about how she has been approached to represent Paris Hilton’s fashion accessory line in India. It turns out that it was an empty boast.

We agree that Kangna has been evolving into more of a fashionista lately, leaving behind the image of a girl interrupted she got after playing a slew of disturbed characters in films. And it’s no surprise that many fell for Kangna’s claim about being chosen as the brand ambassador for the renowned socialite and fashionista Paris Hilton’s Indian line of fashion accessories.

However, Pragya Narang from an event management company that’s looking after the brand’s India launch rubbishes Kangna’s claim.

“Paris Hilton Fashions officially denies approaching Kangna, who claims that she is all set to be the face of the fashion line. Paris is a global mega-star and doesn't need anyone to be the face of her fashion line, anywhere in the world,” Narang is quoted as saying.

We’re just waiting to see what response Kangna has for Narang’s -- rather Hilton’s -- snub.

Rascals for luck

David Dhawan is pulling out the big guns for his upcoming comedy caper, Rascals.

Starring Sanjay Dutt as Chetan and Ajay Devgn as Bhagat, the film is about two competitive con-men who perpetually play the game of one-upmanship sharing the screen space with hotties Kangana Ranaut and Lisa Haydon.

The film produced under the joint banners of Sanjay Dutt Productions Pvt. Ltd and M/s Rupali Aum Entertainment Pvt.Ltd. also stars Arjun Rampal, Chunky Pandey and Satish Kaushik.

The sneak-peek of Rascals shows an awesome spoof of gangster characters from the lead actors' previous films. Ajay as Sultan Mirza (from Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai) and Sanjay does a Raghu (Vaastav).

But all is not well with Team Rascals, with many a report coming in about a fallout between Sanjay Dutt and his leading lady Kangana.

Apparently, it all began with Ms Ranaut flaunting her relationship with the Dutts, which didn't float too well with them. Some speculate that Kangana has been deliberately left out of the film's title track, despite having enough time to shoot for the same. The rest of the main cast - Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt and Lisa Haydon - feature in the title track.

After a dud debut in Aisha, Lisa Haydon features in an item song with Sanjay Dutt in Rascals, hoping to give her film career a much-needed boost.

Director David Dhawan too would be hoping for better luck with Rascals after the 2009 dud, Do Knot Disturb. Rascals is gearing up for a Dussera release on October 6.

Did Kangna go under the knife to enhance her assets?

Kangana Ranaut is playing her cards safe; she is no more a disturbed girl in her films. After playing a vivacious small-town girl in Tanu Weds Manu, she will be seen doing comedy in Sanjay Dutt’s first production Rascals. Not only has Kangana acquired a well-shaped body, she is looking bustier then before in Rascals promo, which also stars Ajay Devgan and Sanjay Dutt

The trailer shows her in a sexy bikini, wearing glares, followed by assistants, and one couldn’t stop raving about her better assets. The actress, who was pencil-thin, has indeed worked on her lithe frame. But many are of the view that it’s a gift from doc rather than God. Earlier, Kangana is believed to have gone under the knife for fuller lips, which were quite prominent in her films Raaz 2 and then Tanu Weds Manu. The actress blamed her pouty lips on a sea-food allergy while others thought it’s a bee-sting.

The movie also stars the handsome Arjun Rampal in a cameo role, while Ajay Devgan and Sanjay Dutt play the rascals. The movie was supposed to release in July but was delayed. Director David Dhawan was supposed to do Partner 2 first but because of the unavailability of dates of the actors involved with that film he started working on Rascals.

Watch the trailer below:

Kangna sizzles in a bikini !!

The first theatrical trailer of much touted film RASCALS is out. The ALL THE BEST and HUM KISISE KUM NAHIN stars, Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt are once again at their comic best. But what drags our attention is the sizzling hottie Kangana Ranaut, who for the first time dons a sexy bikini and shows off her curves. With this Kangana too joins the bandwagon of Bikini Babes in Bollywood.

Do let us know what you think about Kangana's latest glamourous avatar. Does she have that oomph factor?

No item songs for Kangna

Her transition from neurotic roles to romcoms has been smooth. Today, Kangna Ranaut is earning praise for her glamorous new avatar. The actor, who has been reticent about clearing the air over the staggering 5 crore that she is charging for Mile Na Mile Hum and her fallout with Sanjay Dutt, gives us her side of the story.

Is it true that Anjana Sukhani has replaced you in Ram Gopal Varma's Department?

I think that's a question for RGV.

Why did you choose to do Dedh Ishqiya with Abhishek Chaubey? Will it be easy stepping into Vidya Balan's shoes in the Ishqiya sequel?

I am excited about the film, but it's too early to talk about it right now. But I must say that the script is very strong and my character in the film is fantastic.

There are reports that you had a fallout with Sanjay Dutt, after walking out of the remake of Satte Pe Satta.

Not at all! Sanjay sir is a senior actor. I've done three films with him and hope to do more. Satte Pe Satta was never confirmed in the first place.

You are labelled as Katrina Kaif's competition in Bollywood? What's your take on that?

I think Katrina has done some very good work and so have I. But my choices in the industry have been very unusual, so I don't think that my body of work can be compared to anyone else's career.

In an age when item numbers help an actor gain instant popularity, why don't you want to do them?

Never say never! But yes, at present I'm certainly not drawn to item numbers.

Is it true that you charged 5 crore for Chirag Paswan's Mile Na Mile Hum?

I've asked for what I deserve and I have got it.

You are one of the few actors with a great comic timing - will we see more such roles from you, post Tanu weds Manu ?

I certainly hope so. TWM has been my favourite film so far, and with Double Dhamaal becoming a hit, I think audiences have started liking me in this comic avatar!

Prachi to don a bikini for the Bhatts

The Bhatts want Prachi Desai to shed her inhibitions in their film Informer with Emraan Hashmi.

They have told her to go bare-dare and get the sexy tag, as they have done with their earlier heroines, Mallika Sherawat, Kangna Ranuat and Jacqueline Fernandes.

Let's see how far Prachi will go with the skin fest; considering that her close bond with mentor Ekta Kapoor has gone kaput, the girl might as well go for a major image makeover.
