Actor Ajmal Is In Love With Actress Meenakshi

Denying reports appeared in a section of the media that he is in love with Meenakshi, Ajmal says his relationship with his ‘TN 07 AL 4777’ co-star never crossed the limit.
“We acted together in ‘TN O7 AL 4777’. And we used to spend time together during the shoot of the movie. But never had we crossed the limit of friendship. I had not even seen her after the completion of 4777,” says the ‘Anjathey’ actor.
He adds: “I don’t know from where these rumours are originating from. Is there anything wrong if someone speaks or chats with their colleague? There is nothing between me and Meenakshi. My sole aim is to establish myself as a talented actor.”
Ajmal is eagerly expecting the release of ‘Thiru Thiru Thuru Thuru’ and ‘Kadhirvel’. He says, “Both the films are different from each other. One is a romantic entertainer while the other is an out and out action thriller,” he says.
Meenakshi, who made her debut in Kollywood with ‘Karuppasami Kuthagaidharar’ was last seen in ‘Rajathi Raja’ opposite Larencce Raghavendra

Celina Jaitley snubs Sambhavana in public!

Everyone knows what a staunch supporter Celina Jaitley is of gay rights. So it wasn’t a surprise that the face of gay movement in Mumbai showed up at the Gay Pride Parade last Sunday. As it seemed, Celina Jaitley was not the only celebrity at the parade. Bhojpuri actress and Bigg Boss 2 star Sambhavana Seth also made her presence felt at the event. However all did not go well for Sambhavana who was walking with a bunch of friends and apparently felt the mob crowding around her. Mid-Day reports a girl then approached Celina Jaitley, who was in the midst of a private security cordon to accommodate Sambhavana Seth too. And Celina refused.
“I am shocked and appalled by Celina’s behaviour. I did not attend the parade to get publicity or hog the limelight. I was there to support my friends and didn’t even bother getting security for myself. I expected Celina to show some respect towards me as woman, if not as a colleague. She denied me entry into her area not once, but thrice,” Sambhavana Seth was quoted by the paper as having said. The Bhojpuri star also claims that after Bigg Boss 2, Celina had once walked up to her and told her how entertaining she was. Interestingly Celina claims to have never known Sambhavana Seth. “I don’t know how she looks like and I didn’t even know she was there so how could I ignore her security.
Also there were enough policemen around to take care of those marching so she could have approached them for help. There was no way any woman could get mobbed or manhandled since it was a gay parade,” she said. Defending her decision to hire security personnel, Celina Jaitley said that she had done so because she had been receiving threats. “If she (Sambhavana) was really concerned about security, she should’ve arranged it for herself,” Celina Jaitley told the paper.

Aishwarya thrilled with two monster South projects

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai is elated over bagging the main leads in two mega south Indian projects - Mani Ratnam's Ravan and Shankar's Endhiran.
"Shankar had approached me previously to work with him, but it never materialised. Finally, everything landed in place and here we are working together after 10 years," said Aishwarya on the sets of Ravan.
Tamil superstar Rajinikant, who is playing the male lead in Endhiran, was also very keen to work with Aishwarya and had tried to sign her for his earlier ventures - Padaiyappa and Chandramukhi, but the actress could not spare the dates.
Speaking about Ratnam's Ravan, in which she once again teams up with her husband Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya said: "I don't want to reveal much about it. Working with Mani is always a delight. He is a man of perfection. I am lucky to act in his movies again and again."
Aishwarya was earlier seen in Ratnam's Iruvar and Guru, in which Abhishek was in the main lead.
While shooting for Ravan in the jungles of Kerala, the entire cast and crew had a scary experience when an elephant ran amok and killed 51-year-old mahout, Andavan.
The actors including Abhishek, Aishwarya, Vikram, Prabhu and Munna had to take shelter in a guest house.
According to sources, the film personalities spent the night in the forest guest house and survived on bread and eggs. After 12 hours of tension and waiting, the crew returned to their hotel.
Now the cast and crew of Ravan have moved to Ooty where the remaining portions of the film will be shot.

Directed by debutante Nandhini, the movie has music by Mani Sharma. Starring Ajmal and Rupa Manjeri, T4 is produced jointly by Sathyam Cinemas and Real Image.
Speaking after releasing the audio, Kamal Haasan said, 'we have unfortunately confined a great actor like Sivaji Ganesan (who belonged to 20th century breed of performers) to mere 19th century by stereo-typing him. Hope it doesn't happen me. I choose to surrender myself to directors'.
On the films that are being made in Tamil cinema these days, Kamal Haasan, said, 'the fans have to raise their voice. They should express in a stern voice to directors that they want good quality films from them'.
He predicted that future of Tamil cinema would be digital and the technology should be welcomed.
Also spoke on the occasion include producer and theatre-owner Abhirami Ramanathan, 'Editor' Mohan, actor Jeyam Ravi, directors K S Ravikumar, Goutham Menon and Mysskin.
Ajmal and Nandhini were also present on the occasion.

No Aamir in theatres this year!

For those who are eagerly awaiting the Christmas holidays to catch Aamir Khan’s next release ‘3 Idiots’, here’s some bad news. If the conflicting voices are anything to go by, it looks like the Rajkumar Hirani- directed film is going to be delayed a wee bit. The film was supposed to release on December 25, but sources say the rush to release films that have piled up due to the 63- day producers’ strike showed its adverse affect on the Aamir starrer. This may effectively mean there will be no Aamir films released in 2009.
In fact, the United Forum of Bollywood Producers, that includes filmmakers such as Mukesh Bhatt and Ronnie Screwvala, had even constituted a committee to find slots so that pending films may be released smoothly after the strike without causing much loss to each other’s business. It is this committee which seems to be behind the delay in the film’s release.

Pretty woman will soon be in India! Julia Roberts is all set to come down to India to shoot for her upcoming film with Javier Bardem. The film titled 'Eat, Pray, Love' is an adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Best seller by the same name.
The film will be produced by Brad Pitt and Dede Gardener will also feature Robert Jenkins. The shooting is scheduled for July and the film will be shot across, India, Bali, New York and Rome.

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.

Saif’s family welcome Bebo

Its now up to the couple. They can make it legal any time they want. As far as the couples parents are concerned, Kareena and Saif are one compatible couple. And as good as man and wife.While Saif is on excellent terms with Kareena’s mum Babita, Kareena is extremely fond of Saifs kids, Sara and Ibrahim. Says our source, According to Babita, Saif is the perfect son-in-law . She insists that Saif be present at every family occasion, a privilege denied to the earlier men in Bebo’s life. Saif gets along amazingly well with Kareena’s father , sister Karisma Kapoor and brother-in-law Sanjay Kapur. So much is Saif at home with Kareena’s family that his own parents are amused to see him like that.
And when it comes to Saifs kids, he says, Kareena doesn’t get to meet them often, but yes, when they do, they are happy to be in each others company.Everything aside, it is actually Kareena’s comfort level with Saifs parents that has taken everyone by surprise. Adds our source, It has always been important for Saif to get his mothers approval when it comes to the ladies in his life. One major reason why Saif and Amrita Singh called their marriage quits was the discernible and unconcealed lack of chemistry between Amrita and his mother. They hardly ever met.
And things just got worse when he dated Rosa Catalano, whom Sharmila Tagore openly disapproved of. Kareena, on the other hand has thoroughly endeared herself to Sharmila and Saifs entire family. About Kareena , our source says, Kareena loves to be a part of her beaus familys life.When she was dating Shahid Kapur, she succeeded in winning over his father Pankaj Kapur and Pankaj’s second wife, Supriya Pathak. But yes, Shahid’s mother Neelima Azim disliked Kareena and the feeling was mutual.
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. -
