Aamir Khan wants to be Krishna, plans to make Mahabharata
After giving films outstanding films like Tare Zameen Par and Ghajini Aamir Khan reveals that he has a dream project. Aamir expressed his desire to do an epic drama Mahabharat. “Yes, I have been thinking about it for a long time. It has been a favorite subject which I have been contemplating for a long time.”
Being a perfectionist Aamir believes that this kind of subject requires a lot of preparation. He says “Even the slightest mistake can be noticed. People should be amazed when they watch a film like this. You need a lot of courage to make a vast subject like this and right now I am even scared to attempt it.”
He informs that though his favorite character from the epic is Karna he won’t be able to do it. “I feel Karna is an amazing character. But I cannot play that role. The characters in Mahabharat are warriors and they are Kshatriya’s there were all six feet and above. They all were tall and well built. I would not fit into any of the characters as I am very short. I think I would suit only Krishna’s role the best.” He quips. -

Minissha Lamba gets surgery done on her nose
Natural beauty at times is not enough to survive in Bollywood and cosmetic surgery becomes a must. The latest addition to this club is Minissha Lamba. The Bachna Ae Haseeno star who seemed most unlikely candidate needing a cosmetic surgery got a plastic surgery done on her nose recently. The actress who otherwise has a angelic face got a pointed look to her otherwise blunt nose.
Celebrities like Rakhi Sawant, Ayesha Takia and Bipasha Basu have had breast enhancement surgeries done on them. Minissha joins the league of Shilpa Shetty and Koena Mitra who have got a nose job done in the past.
The surgery had however turned nightmare for both the stars as they spoilt the natural beauty of their nose. Hope this surgery does not turn out to be a nightmare for Minissha as well!

'Slumdog Millionaire' makes $43 mn to jump back in US Top 10
Washington, Following its sweep of the Golden Globe Awards, British director Danny Boyle's hit film "Slumdog Millionaire" has jumped back into the North American Top Ten with a 56 percent increase in its weekend sales.
With an estimated gross of $5,900,000 over the Jan 16-18 weekend, the Mumbai-shot and set film in its tenth week even surpassed the total grosses of Akshay Kumar's "Chandni Chowk to China", Aamir Khan's "Ghajini" and Shahrukh Khan's "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" combined in the US.Running in 582 theatres across US, down 19 from last weekend, the film based on Indian diplomat Vikas Swarup's novel "Q&A" registered a per-theatre average of $10,137 to take its total gross to a staggering $42.74 million.With more mainstream multiplexes interested in playing the film with Golden Globe winning music by Indian music maestro A.R. Rahman now, Fox Searchlight plans to expand its run this Friday to about 1,300 theatres.After the Golden Globes, the heart warming story of an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who goes on to win a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" game show, is expected to score multiple Oscar nominations when Academy Award nominations are announced Jan 22.Meanwhile, in a Sunday editorial Washington Times described it as "the kind of movie Hollywood used to make - a film that transmits eternal verities and has universal appeal."Calling the film "a stinging indictment of a Hollywood culture that is bereft of decent values," the US daily said: "The movie instructs as much as it entertains. It will have enduring value for providing a vivid snapshot of a nation undergoing tumultuous modernization."The film "stands in sharp contrast to the typical Hollywood fare that encourages promiscuity, greed, individualism and cynicism," it said comparing it with others nominated at the Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture, Drama: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "The Reader," "Revolutionary Road," and "Frost/Nixon.""Each has artistic merit, but the films are about dreary subjects and have protagonists who have dubious morals at best," the Times said. "'Slumdog Millionaire' demonstrates that if American filmmakers are unwilling to highlight our core values, others will rise to fill that void."
