Dia Mirza's ready to kick butt

Mumbai: Dia Mirza has undergone some rigorous training for her forthcoming film Acid Factory.
The actor has sweated it out very hard for around 40 days to build biceps and strengthen muscles. She also took the help of action-director Tinu Verma to prepare for the film.
"I went through hell. It felt like I was back in school as I used to wake up at 5.30 in the morning. I went through around three months of training like this with 40 days of intensive work-out to strengthen my body. The role needed someone who could do some really strenuous action stunts and kick some butt and I had to build my body accordingly to take all that," Dia says.
She adds: "I trained really hard with Arbaaz Khan's trainer Rakesh in Chandigarh and then also with Tinu Verma with whom I worked out for around two hour everyday at Film City. From there when I came back, I used to train for another two hours at home. Again in the evening I worked out for two hours more. This schedule had to be followed for three months. But I am really happy with the outcome as it's looking very good."
Dia adds that it was the desire to land the role in Sanjay Gupta's film that pushed her to her limits.
"When Sanjay casually narrated me the script, I was blown away. I really wanted to do it but how could I have asked him as he never mentioned my name then. I started training hard for the role as I had an idea what he was looking for. I had time at my hand as Sanjay was not casting then. I knew I was a little unconventional for the part of a negative character but that was my challenge. After the effects were evidently showing post training, I met Sanjay and he was really excited. I went through a screen test and I bagged the role finally," she says, laughing.

Adds our source, It has always been important for Saif to get his mothers approval when it comes to the ladies in his life.

But with Saif and Kareena together, its a completely different case. Both the Khans and the Kapoor’s share a warm camaraderie. The signal is coming on strong and clear, Kareena is totally welcome to wed the scion of the Patuadi khaandaan.

Asin’s double dhamaka

Southern babe Asin made quite a good impact, thanks to Aamir Khan’s ‘Ghajini’.
Now she has the Vipul Shah biggie ‘London Dreams’ coming up.
But the Southern beauty’s fans wouldn’t have to wait for that film’s release. They can catch a glimpse of her in the Hindi version of the Tamil hit ‘Dasavatharam’ where she plays a double role.
Unlike ‘Ghajini’, Asin has more screen time as plays a double role – one of a woman from the 12th century and another from the 21st and is opposite the versatile Kamal Hassan.
The movie took more than three years to complete due to hurdles and was made on a budget of Rs. 60 crores, a staggering amount for any Tamil movie till date.
The Tamil ‘Dasavathram’ (Ten Avatars) was released last year in the month of June and was a hit down south. Haasan plays ten different roles in the film and is a research scientist and an ex-CIA officer who are after a biological weapon lost in USA that can cause massive destruction.
The age difference notwithstanding, Kamal Hassan and Asin have really looked good together in the film, the dubbed version of which releases soon.
Actually Vidya Balan’s loss had turned out to be Asin’s gain. She was considered for the role, but finally Asin got hold of it. Mallika Sherawat plays the second lead in the film and the film also has a much-hyped song composed by Himesh Reshammiya.
Asin of course is visible more in the film and if she continues this way, she could very well overshadow many other actresses in B-Town, not just Mallika and Vidya. -

Is Malaika Arora Khan Pregnant ?

The front-benchers in the audience, friends of the stunning Bollywood diva sashaying sexily with swinging hips, whispered loud enough to hear, that Malaika was three months pregnant.
Could be, you wouldn’t know. To see the way the men’s eyes lit up and to hear the wolf whistles from the distinguished audience, you wouldn’t know that Malaika has a six-year-old son and fits the bill for the classic Yummy Mummy! Husband Arbaaz Khan, whose Bollywood career is suddenly on the rise, beamed awkwardly through it all. (source:bollywoodgossips.net)
