Namitha A video purportedly showing the south sex bomb Namitha changing clothes is making rounds on the Internet.
With the coming of new technology, the actresses are feeling more vulnerable because there have been instances in the past when some heroines have been caught on camera in their private moments. Nayantara ’s liplock scenes or Trisha ’s bathroom clip being two such instances.

Superhit "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi"

Shahrukh Khan magic seems to be bailing Yashraj Films out of doldrums after a string of failures at box office. ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’, which marks the comeback of Aditya Chopra to film direction after eight years, has reportedly grossed Rs 90 crore in its opening week, which is on par with and in some places even higher than two of the highest opening week grossers till date, Om Shanti Om and Singh Is Kinng .The movie has also broken all earlier opening week collection records for Yash Raj Films, having surpassed the opening collections of Dhoom 2 , which is regarded as one of the highest grossing movies of all-time.he total collections for ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ in India are around Rs 42 crore net (gross collections were Rs 70 crore). The total gross collections for all overseas markets are over USD 4 Million (around Rs 20 crore), a YRF statement said on Thursday.In Middle East, ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' has broken all previous records for first week collections, netting just under USD 1.3 million. The previous highest grossing film in the Gulf region, having a sizeable Indian population, was ‘Dhoom 2’, which grossed approximately USD 1.86 million across its entire run.The Aditya Chopra-directed romantic flick, featuring newcomer Anushka Sharma , is on course to break this all-time record going into its second week, the statement said.The film has also had a grand opening week across all overseas markets, including the UK, USA, Australia, Europe, Africa, and Asia, and features in the list of the highest grossers for the opening week in most of these territories.
"The film has the potential to finish as one of the biggest blockbusters of all-time," the statement said.

Kangana dance with Hrithik

Matching steps with Bollywood’s best dancer is no easy feat, but Kangana Ranaut is jiving up to the challenge.Hrithik Roshan and Kangana have been shooting an elaborate dance number for their film Kites at Filmistan Studios in Goregaon. American choreographer Flexy has especially been roped in by producer Rakesh Roshan for this song.Before the song’s shooting began, Hrithik and Kangana rehearsed under Flexy’s guidance for days. During rehearsals, Kangana used to be so awed by Hrithik’s dance skills that she would often miss her own steps. Being pitted opposite the best in Bollywood, Kangana, who is a good dancer herself, decided to hone up her dancing.
Though Kangana continues to remain in awe of Hrithik’s dancing skills, she has stood up to the challenge of matching her steps with him. And she is learnt to be doing a good job while shooting the number.Of course, she can’t let her favorite director Anurag Basu down.Meanwhile, the shooting of the song hit a minor hurdle recently when a few policemen and a local NGO raided the sets to see if all the foreign dancers participating in the song had proper work permits. The shooting was resumed after a few hours.
‘Kites’ has Hrithik playing a dance instructor. Mexican actress Barbara Mori is his love interest in the flick.

Deepika Padukone Chinki eyes

Deepika Padukone is looking ravishing in her two completely different get-ups for the film Chandni Chowk to China , co-starring Akshay Kumar. It's being widely speculated that the actress plays a double role in the film. But is it really a double role for Deepika Padukone or is the news just some producer's gimmick to lure the audiences?

Deepika clarifies, "It's actually a double role and no publicity gimmick. I play two different characters in Chandni Chowk To China , one is an Indian called Sukhi, and the other is a Chinese girl, Meow Meow. The Chinese character is a pro at martial arts for which I had to undergo four months of rigorous training before the film started."

There was buzz that Deepika Padukone had to use adhesive tapes on her face so that her eyes would stretch for the Chinese look. True? "We had thought of that initially but it wasn't a good idea to use tapes, they're bad for the skin," says the actor, "My makeup artist came up with a simpler solution and used the eyeliner in such a way that it gave my eyes the Chinese tweak," she laughed.

Katrina Kaif Rescued by Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar played the real hero and rescued Katrina Kaif after she injured herself while shooting the climax scene of De Dhana Dhan .
Akki and Kat are set to weave their magic again in Priyadarshan’s upcoming comedy, which also stars the rest of Hera Pheri gang – Paresh Rawal and Sunil Shetty . But ‘Hera Pheri 3’ this film is not.
The movie is a comedy revolving around several madcap characters. The climax scene shows all of them getting swept by a tsunami. The shooting was recently going on in Mumbai’s Film City where gallons of water was used to create a tsunami.
While shooting the scene with Akshay and other stars, Katrina suffered a minor mishap. Her foot got stuck in something underwater. She yelled for help but in the noise and din on the sets none heard her. None except Akshay, who dived into water and swam to Kat and rescued her in time.
The actress got away with a bruise on her leg, though it might have been worse had Akshay not appeared at the right moment.
Meanwhile, almost all the stars who’ve been shooting the tsunami sequence have been falling ill. Being in water for hours has taken a toll on their health.
After the Mumbai schedule, the film’s cast and crew would move to Singapore for the next schedule.
However, with Akki and Katrina teaming up with Sunil and Paresh, we expect the quartet to unleash a tsunami of chuckles!

Deepika Padukone: What's next?

Deepika Padukone is loving every bit in Bollywood. The Om Shanti Om actress will next be seen in Nikhil Advani's Chandni Chowk to China where the beautiful actress will be seen romancing Akshay Kumar. The film is an action-comedy and Deepika had to spruce up on not just getting her comic timing correct, but a lot of hard work to match up with her co-star Khiladi Kumar.

Deepika will don two completely different looks for her twin act for the same. The one where she plays a Chinese woman will have Deepika in a never before avatar. Bangs are in, and so is Deepika's look in sync with the times. We also hear that the girl has undergone hours of vigorous training in martial arts to get her act perfect.

And if all you fans out there are missing Deepika from the party circuits, your wait is just about to get over. Deepika has been deliberately keeping a low profile staying away from parties and events for she is just gearing up to start the film's promotional campaign in a couple of weeks.

Mega Hit "Ghajni"

With the Madras High Court lifting the stay order on the release of Ghajini , the movie is running to packed houses in major cities across India. A day before it’s worldwide release on Xmas, ‘Ghajini’ had 600 paid previews at different multiplexes in India. All the shows ran houseful.
Releasing in as many as 23 countries with a whopping 1500 prints, ‘Ghajini’ is set to become a blockbuster in the coming days, if the initial reactions to the film are to go by.
Though some critics have lambasted the film for its gory violence, everyone has lauded Aamir’s performance in it.
Meanwhile, the legal trouble is not yet over for Ghajini’s producers. They have only managed an interim order allowing the release of the film after paying to Madras High Court the guarantee money of Rs. 5 crore.
The movie’s release was earlier stayed after the producer of Ghajini (Tamil) accused the producers of the Hindi film of copyright violation.
The court will resume its hearing of the case on the January 6, 2009, but by then ‘Ghajini’ would have already become a mega hit.

8 pag making lesson like Aamir Khan

When Aamir started training for Ghajini, he was busy with the post-production and editing of his maiden directorial flick Taare Zameen Par. Yet, he didn`t give any excuse of not having time and devoted three full hours everyday for his work-out. His routine consisted of 10 minutes stretching and warm ups, one hour of weights, an hour of cardio and 40 minutes of abs exercises. Here, a much leaner Aamir is seen doing the `Bent -over Dumbbell Rows` for his back.Aamir is known for his intense performances but here you can see the intensity on the actor`s face as he does the `Cable Crossover`. Personal trainer Satyajit Chaurasia is not one to let go easily and was responsible for making Aamir go the extra mile.With each passing day, the results began to show on Aamir`s body as can be seen from this photograph. Aamir is seen in his trademark Ghajini haircut as he enters the `pain zone` while doing the `Barbell Bicep Curls`.
Last year SRK created a frenzy of sorts when he revealed his six-pack abs in Om Shanti Om. Not one to be left behind, Aamir has now gone one step ahead and developed eight pack abs for his role in Ghajini. Here, the `Perfectionist` Khan is seen doing the `pull-ups`, an exercise which he considers to be the toughest.Most of the time, Aamir used to work out at his own gym along with his personal trainer Satya. In fact, many years back, it was Aamir who encouraged Satya to develop a career in personal training when he had come from Nagpur with the hopes of making it big in Bollywood. Today, Satya runs the popular Barbarian gym in Mumbai that boasts of a clientele comprising the Who`s who of Bollywood. Known to be a taskmaster, Satya is seen pushing Aamir, as the actor sweats it out doing the `inclined sit-ups`.After a year of hardcore training, Aamir has finally got the body that he desired so badly. The results are there for all to see; within a year, Aamir`s biceps have increased from 12` to 16` while his chest which was earlier 38` now measures up to 44`.

Interview With Asin

She`s already 17-films-old down South and now Asin is ready to strike Bollywood hard! Her Ghajini releases on December 25 and many believe this is as good as it gets for an actress who was once virtually unknown even in the South!

We all know it`s not `a sin` to work with Aamir Khan. It`s a boon and a blessing in disguise instead. What say?

Nice way to put it huh? I`ve been an ardent admirer of Aamir Khan`s movies, his acting and him as a person, ever since I was a kid, it is a dream come true. To work with him in my first Hindi venture is fabulous. I must say that he is a very supportive co-star, encouraging and very down to earth. That is the high point of his personality. He is passionate about his work which we all know and to see him in an avtaar like this in Ghajini is inspiring.What made your director Murugadoss or Aamir for that matter, sign the same face of the Tamil version Ghajini in Hindi too?

I have no idea. You`ll have to interview Murugadoss to get your answer. All I know is that I`ve done the original Ghajini and am lucky to be a part of the same film made in Hindi.I`m sure the Hindi version of Ghajini must`ve been a piece of cake for you, isn`t it? Same role, etc…>

You`re somewhat right. I was already familiar with my character. My role in the Hindi version of Ghajini has not been changed and is the same as in the original. Kalpana, the girl I play remains Kalpana, except the settings keep on changing. The film has been changed a little bit in the second half, the action sequences too have been changed and the climax of is tweaked for the better.Now to ask you the question, how was your experience working in a biggie like Ghajini? It makes no sense because you`ll be seen doing the same thing what you did in the original?

Not really. The people working on the Hindi Ghajini are quite different from those working in the original. When you`re working with a different technical crew and the people behind the scenes, they tend to bring a whole new flavour to the film. It`s not always the same as to what you`ve done before. I wouldn`t say this film is a repeat of the Tamil version because the entire experience of working with the cast and the crew was like a new change. I would advice the people who`ve seen the Tamil version to go to the theatres with a fresh frame of mind to watch Ghajini and watch it as a different movie.Thanks to Aamir who liked the Tamil version and we know the rest is history. But if it wasn`t for Aamir`s fondness for the subject, we wouldn`t have seen Asin launch in Bollywood.

That`s an interesting observation. Well, I had been getting Bollywood offers before Ghajini but I was waiting for the right kind of projects to come to me. When I was approached for Ghajini, I thought it was the perfect baby step into Bollywood because it`s a dream come true to be working with the perfectionist Khan in your debut. When you`ve got Murugadoss behind the camera, when you`ve got A.R.Rahman`s music and when you`ve got Ravi K. Chandran`s cinematography, you can`t ask for more in your first film.The song Aye Bacchu has got a lot of attitude which is picturised on you. Have you got one?

No, I don`t but the song has. Aye Bacchu has got a bindaas attitude with a message, live your life to the fullest, which is basically what Kalpana the character is all about. It`s my introduction song. Off screen, I am bindaas too.

How do you rate Aamir as a dancer?

I really don`t have any song with him where we actually shake a leg. The only two songs in which I`m there with him are romantic duets. Aamir is doing most of the singing and I`m just filling in the gaps. I`m sure Aamir is a good dancer but I can`t rate him as the best.Having said that, can Mr. Perfectionist be perfect if he moves to the south Indian film industry?

Absolutely yes, there is no doubt about it. He can not only be perfect in the south but all over the world. I`m sure if he goes to Hollywood he will be accepted with open arms. And yes, he doesn`t have to have a moustache if he intends to join Tollywood because that`s an outdated concept now. It`s a wrong notion that people have about having a moustache. This entire quick gun murgan thing is not at all applicable in today`s time down south.Is Ghajini an A.R. Murugadoss film or an Aamir Khan film?

In a way, an Aamir Khan film. Ghajini is about Sanjay Singhania, that`s Aamir Khan`s name in the film. It is also a complete Murugadoss film because it is visualized, screen played, written and directed by Murugadoss. Ghajini`s highlight is exactly what an Indian commercial romantic action thriller needs and both Murugadoss and Aamir have proved that.

Will Ghajini come as a welcome relief for the grieving India?

I hope people find the movie watching experience good and they enjoy it. There are parts of romance in the film which will make you feel good, laughter which will make you laugh and drama which will keep you on the edge of your seat. India and Indians are surely going to bounce back in days to come. I know this time around it`s a different story all together.Jiah said it, now it`s your turn. Did you go gaga over Aamir`s physique?

Oh yes. He looks so hot. More than the weight and his six packs, he has put in a lot of effort into his character. Another reason to watch Ghajini is Aamir`s body. Bollywood`s latest action hero is here.

Any exciting moments you can recall?

We shot on real locations in Mumbai, the roads, the buildings, etc. We hardly put up sets for the film. I remember I had to ride a scooty with Mr. Aamir Khan behind me. It was real fun because imagine one fine Monday morning when people saw Aamir on a scooty in Mumbai. The excitement and the experience on real locations with Aamir was truly unique.Did you then treat him with some idli sambhar or dosas?

Not yet actually. I would`ve loved to treat him though with some idli vada and sambhar.

What message would you like to give to your fans in the south and your future fans of Bollywood?

I don`t know. I seriously have no message for them regarding myself. But I`d love to tell all Bollywood fans to go and watch Ghajini, the experience that is - Aamir Khan. Remember the date - 25th December.

What next?

Vipul Shah`s London Dreams with Ajay Devgan and Salman Khan and a Walt Disney production titled 19th Step with Mr. Kamal Hassan and the Japanese actor Asanu. It is based on Indian martial arts.
