Priyanka is not to replacing Aishwarya in Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine. Priyanka Chopra has cleared the air about her intrest in replacing Aishwarya Rai in the movie Heroine. There was a rumor going around in Bollywood that stated that Priyanka Chopra is keen on taking up the role of Aishwarya Rai in the movie Heroine.  Madhur Bhandarkar is a National Award winning Indian film director, script writer, and producer. He is best known for his films such as Chandni Bar (2001), Page 3 (2005), Traffic Signal (2007), and Fashion (2008). He won the National Award for Best Director for Traffic Signal. The shooting of Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine has been put off because of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's pregnancy, but Priyanka Chopra has denied that she wants to replace Bachchan, who plays the lead role in the film.

producers told that this point, nothing is more important than Aishwarya's well being and good health and he has all agreed that the best step would be to avoid shooting further, rather than proceeding with an incredibly demanding schedule over the coming months. Meanwhile, Chopra has rubbished reports that she might replace Bachchan in Heroine. Priyanka said this she has put to rest the so called interest she had in replacing Aishwarya Rain in the movie Heroine. It is also rumored in Bollywood that Aishwarya Rai has been sacked from Heroine for getting pregnant and is considering legal action against the director. There was also recent gossip about Preity Zinta replacing Aishwarya Rai in the movie Ladies and Gentleman starring Abhishek Bachchan.

Read some stupid article about how i wanna do Madhur Bhandarkar's film HEROINE,Priyanka tweeted that she might think Madhur is an amazing director and. It'll be amazing to work together again but GUYS this one aint it, I wish him and Aishwarya lots of luck with the film and also said that she also wish that journos would actually do some journalism rather than scriptwriting and stop deciding my next moves. The project, also starring Arjun Rampal, was announced during the Cannes Film Festival this year. We will have to wait and watch what is the fate of the movie Heroine with the controversy surrounding it.

A Padama Shri recipient India's highest civilian award Aamir Khan was born on 14 March 1965 in Mumbai, India to a family of film directors. His father Tahir Hussain is a producer of Hindi movies.His younger brother Faisal Khan has tried his hand at acting, though without any success. Amir Khan began his acting career as a child actor in movies such as 'Yaadon Ki Baraat' in1973, and 'Madhosh' (1974). His first movie as an adult was the hard hitting and dark 'Holi' (1984) directed by well known director Ketan Mehta. Mehta was to direct Khan again in 'Mangal Pandey - The Rising' (2005).

But the year of reckoning for Khan has to be 1988, when he acted as the leading man for the first time in 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak'. Khan's performance in this movie not only earned him rave reviews and colossal female fan following in India, but also established him as a 'young heart throb'. Early 90's saw many of his movies receive mixed reactions at the box office. However, his most successful films after Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak include 'Dil' (1990), 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander' (1992), 'Rangeela' (1995) and 'Raja Hindustani' (1996). Khan has also acted in many critically acclaimed movies such as 'Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke' (1993), for which he wrote the screenplay as well, 'Ghulam' (1998) that was a huge commercial hit, as 'Ice Candy Man' in Deepa Mehta's offbeat movie 'Earth-1947' (1998) and in the quintessential cop drama 'Sarfarosh' (1999).

2001 was again a year of reckoning and hyperactive activity and global acclaim for Khan. Two of his best films  'Lagaan' that was also nominated for the Oscars in the Best Foreign Language Film besides other numerous awards, and 'Dil Chahta Hai' a story about three friends in Urban India were resounding successes. Khan proved that if he could act the role of a poor farmer to perfection, he could also perfect the act of a super cool dude! And for three years Khan did not act in any movies. He came back with a bang in 2005 with 'Mangal Pandey: The Rising' that was declared the biggest flop of the year, and in 2006 he acted in 'Rang De Basanti' a movie that takes a look at patriotism and corruption in Urban and growing India. The movie was the biggest hit of the year and was selected as India's official entry to the Oscars though it failed to make the final five. But, it was short listed for the BAFTAs. His other film 'Fanaa' (2006) where he plays the role of a terrorist is also one of the highest grossing movies of the year.

Aishwarya Rai is a dream girl and a great actress, says Hema Malini, the original dream girl of Indian cinema. In fact, she is much more than a dream girl,Malini said while interacting with the media in Toronto, Canada, about her upcoming film, Tell Me O Khuda, which has her daughter Esha Deol in the lead role. Bollywood's original Dream Girl and veteran actress Hema Malini, says she would like to pass this coveted title to former beauty queen Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Hema said that if she had to select a Dream Girl among today's actresses then she would definitely go for Aishwarya, who is expecting her first child with Abhishek Bachchan.

Every actress is more than a dream girl today. They are very high and way above it. Each and every girl is very beautiful. They all have made a name for themselves, specially Aishwarya. I will give the title to her, Hema said. On a lighter note, the 62 year old actress added, Aishwarya will have to pay me a crore for the precious label I have carried with dignity all these years. Hema, who is looking forward to her upcoming film 'Buddha Hoga Tera Baap', will be seen alongside megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

 

The actress said the dream girl tag was given by people and the media. They just started calling me a dream girl. That's how it happened. But every girl today is a dream girl acting itself is about dreams. Dharmendra, her husband, also seemed to be mighty pleased when asked about his continuing He Man image in the Indian entertainment industry. Every boy today in a He Man. They are conscious of their health. So they all are he men. You people gave me this tag and I am very thankful for this. It continues because of your support and well wishes, the Sholay actor said.

The International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) is dedicated to reaching out to millions of fans around the world to promote Indian cinema. Under the guidance of Wizcraft International Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., IIFA tirelessly showcases the wealth of talent Indian Cinema has to offer, to the world. The premier vehicle that puts Indian cinema in the world spotlight is the annual IIFA Weekend and Awards event. In 2011. The IIFA Weekend and Awards consists of fun filled activities that bring fans close to their favourite stars. The highlight of the weekend is the IIFA Awards Ceremony that honours the very best of Indian cinematic culture. Fans from all over the world converge to celebrate Indian cinema, while millions can watch the telecast from the comfort of their home.

Fashion, films, music and glamour came together on the sidelines of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards at the IIFA Rocks event on Friday. As Bollywood siren Bipasha Basu summed it up nicely "You can't take the music out of the Indians. There's music in our films, there has to be music in our fashion too."

Perhaps this is what led her to walk the ramp wearing celebrated Indian couturier Sabyasachi and dancing to the hits of Shankar Ehsaan Loy. It also spelt a triumphant return for Dabangg sensation Sonakshi Sinha, who was literally unknown when she promoted the film at last year's awards ceremony in Sri Lanka. Wearing a short Alexander McQueen dress, Sinha said she was still reeling from all the affection she was receiving from her fans in Toronto. "This is my first time that I have been nominated in IIFAs. The feeling was wonderful, especially when people started chanting Tere Mast Mast Nain," said Sinha.

But she wasn't in the modern avatar for too long. An effective show stopper for designer Vikram Phadnis, Sinha returned to her familiar on screen role wearing a rich ethnic ensemble. Meanwhile, the technical aspects of filmmaking were also celebrated as Robot, Dabangg and Band Baaja Baarat won the maximum number of awards in different categories. Each won three awards. While Band Baaja Baaraat won for Editing ,Namrata Rao, Song Recording, Ainvayi Ainvayi and Costume Design, the Rajnikanth starrer Robot walked away with Best Art Director for Sabu Cyril. Actor Shah Rukh Khan presented the trophy to Cyril and lauded him for his ace work. Robot also won awards for Special Effects by Indian Artists and for Best Make Up. The Salman Khan starrer Dabangg also filled its already burgeoning trophy cabinet by taking home the award for Best Choreography, Munni Badnaam Hui choreographed by Farah Khan, and a gong for Best song recording for Leslie Fernandez.The film also won the award for Best Action by S. Vijayan. Meanwhile, the green carpet saw the likes of Anil Kapoor, Sonu Sood, Dia Mirza and Madhavan adding star wattage to the evening.

Bollywood Actress Superstar Bipasha Basu break up with her boyfriend of nine years, John Abraham, and her rumoured short  affair with Hollywood actor and her Singularity co-star Josh Hartnett, Bipasha Basu is all set to romance actor R Madhavan in director Ashiwni Chaudhary’s yet-to-be titled romcom. “Though they’ve known each other for years, although they’ve never worked together,” spilled our source, adding that the film is slated to begin filming in July. “Ashwini will finish the shoot of this film before he directs Ghayal Returns. And if things go as planned, it will release early next year." Considering Bipashas’ has a history of ‘linking up’ with her co-stars, with numerous reports of her flirting with Saif Ali Khan on the Raaz set, and her Bachna Ae Haseeno co-star, Ranbir Kapoor, even while she was romancing John, we wonder whether she’ll develop a similar soft-spot for the married actor Maddy now that she’s “Single and ready to mingle”. While Bipasha's earlier Bollywood romcoms, a bit role in Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai and second-lead in Bachna Ae Haseeno, were box-office disasters, Maddy has recently enjoyed success in his solo romcom flick Tanu Weds Manu.Industry insiders, however, claim there’s another bizarre love match brewing on the back-burner, with Bipasha spending an awful lot of time with playboy Ranbir, while her ex John bonds with Ranbir’s ex Deepika Padukone on the set of Desi Boyz. Weird, this thing called love!......

Bollywood Super Star Salman's Action Movie Dabangg was broke the dry spell at the box office by earning 480 million Rupees in the opening weekend,This year Salman khan's Comedy Film Ready has brouhgt much needed respite by grossing 400 million rupees in realease of it's first week.The Corporate head of india's weve Cinema Yogesh Raizada Said,"Ready has had a good opening. The occupancy has been 90-95 per cent. It is more of a family entertainer. One would not see the kind of action that was in Dabangg and Wanted,"He also added "Salman is perfect in the film, he has done full justice to his character. Asin is also good in the film,"

In contrast to the Rs180 million Dabangg, a small-town cop drama shot in Wai in Maharashtra and partly in the UAE, Ready, shot entirely in Thailand, is expensive and is said to have cost Rs500 million."People are enjoying the film a lot, specially Salman Khan, although the shows have not been back-to-back houseful like Dabangg and Wanted,"

Just like Khan's 2008 hit Wanted, his Ready is performing much better in single screen theatres,their shows are going houseful. "The response to Ready is terrific. Till now, shows are going houseful. Everyone is appreciating Salman's acting. It is too early to say whether the film will be as big as Dabangg because today, every day counts because of the number of shows being played today,Trade experts, however, admitted that Ready will not enjoy a long stay at the box office like Dabangg.

Bollywood Super Star and The World Most Powerfull Person Shah Rukh Khan, has been writing his autobiography for many years now, has revealed that his book is almost near completion and he will be releasing it very soon.The book, Twenty Years In A Decade, will focus on the life of the 45-year-old actor from the year 1991 to 2001."It's a fun book and is about positivity and hope and it's funny, like I am. I've written things about my life in a fun way. Very personal things are there in it, selective memories though. There is a chapter on journalism too,"Shah Rukh Said.

He Said "I am writing this book since more than 10 years now. It is called Twenty Years In A Decade because I felt that in 10 years, I've lived a life of 20 years between 1991 to 2001. It's almost complete now and one of these days when I complete it, I will ask my writer friends to edit it and I'll release it,"Although the actor has written about various facets of his life in the book, his favourite chapter remains the one that mentions his parents, who passed away when he was quite young."

One of my favourite chapters in the book is about my mother and father. Its eight pages long. Whoever writes a book for the first time, parents' mention is always there," he said.Asked if he would ever venture into writing a film, Khan said: "That's an expert thing to do. In every film I work, my inputs are always there but full script, I don't think I know the science or the mathematics behind it. Anyone can write a story but it's difficult to write a screenplay.

Shahrukh studied acting under celebrated Theatre Director Barry John at Delhi's Theatre Action Group. In 2007, John commented thus on his former pupil that, "The credit for the phenomenally successful development and management of Shahrukh's career goes to the superstar himself.Shahrukh Khan made his acting debut in 1988 when he appeared in the television series, Fauji, playing the role of Commando Abhimanyu Rai.He went on to appear in several other television serials, most notably in the 1989 serial, Aziz Mirza's Circus, which depicted the life of circus performers.The same year, Khan also had a minor role in the made-for-television English-language film, In Which Annie Gives it Those Ones, which was based on life at Delhi University and was written by Arundhati Roy. When Khan appeared in those teleserials, people found in him some resemblance with legendary actor Dilip Kumar and also compared his acting style with the thespian.

Upon moving from New Delhi to Mumbai in 1991,Shahrukh Khan made his Bollywood movie debut in Deewana (1992). The movie became a box office hit, and launched his career in Bollywood.His performance won him a Filmfare Best Male Debut Award. He went on to star in Maya Memsaab, which generated some controversy because of his appearance in an "explicit" sex scene in the movie.In 1993, Khan won acclaim for his performances in villainous roles as an obsessive lover and a murderer, respectively, in the box office hits, Darr and Baazigar.In Khan's entry in Encyclopedia Britannica's "Encyclopedia of Hindi Cinema" it was stated that "he defied the image of the conventional hero in both these films and created his own version of the revisionist hero."Darr marked his first collaboration with renowned film-maker Yash Chopra and his banner Yash Raj Films, the largest production company in Bollywood. Baazigar, which saw Khan portraying an ambiguous avenger who murders his girlfriend, shocked its Indian audience with an unexpected violation of the standard Bollywood formula.His performance won him his first Filmfare Best Actor Award. In that same year, Khan played the role of a young musician in Kundan Shah's Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, a performance that earned him a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance. Khan maintains that this is his all-time favourite among the movies he has acted in.In 1994, Khan once again played an obsessive psycho's role in Anjaam, co-starring alongside Madhuri Dixit. Though the movie was not a box office success, Khan's performance earned him the Filmfare Best Villain Award.

In 1995, Khan starred in the two biggest hits of the year in India. His first release was Rakesh Roshan's Karan Arjun. The film, which dealt with reincarnation, became the second-highest grossing film of the year.He followed it with Aditya Chopra's directorial debut, the romance Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. A major critical and commercial success, the movie became the year's top-grossing production in India.In 2007, it entered its twelfth year in Mumbai theaters. By then the movie had grossed over 12 billion rupees, making it one of India's biggest movie blockbusters.Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge won ten Filmfare Awards, and Khan's performance as a young NRI who falls for Kajol's character while on a college vacation, won him his second Best Actor Award. In 2005, Indiatimes Movies ranked the movie amongst the 25 Must See Bollywood Films, citing it as a "trendsetter of sorts".In that same year's retrospective review by Rediff, Raja Sen stated, "Khan gives a fabulous performance, redefining the Lover for the 1990s with great panache. He's cool and flippant, but sincere enough to appeal to the junta. The performance itself is, like the best in the business, played well enough to come across as effortless, as non-acting.

1996 was a disappointing year for Khan as all his movies released that year failed to do well at the box office.This was, however, followed by a comeback in 1997. He saw success with Subhash Ghai's social drama Pardes one of the biggest hits of the year and Aziz Mirza's comedy Yes Boss, a moderately successful feature.His second project with Yash Chopra as a director, Dil to Pagal Hai became that year's second highest grossing movie, and he won his third Filmfare Best Actor Award for his role as a stage director who falls in love with one of his new actresses.

In 1998, Khan starred in Karan Johar's directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, which was the biggest hit of the year.His performance won him his fourth Best Actor award at the Filmfare. He won critical praise for his performance in Mani Ratnam's Dil Se. The movie did not do well at the Indian box office, though it was a commercial success overseas.Khan's only release in 1999, Baadshah, was an average grosser.
