Madhuri Dixit says NO to Anil Kapoor for his next film!

Madhuri Dixit says NO to Anil Kapoor for his next film!: Madhuri Dixit refused to play mommy to Anil Kapoor’s daughter Sonam in the desi remake of Mark Water’s film Freaky Friday.

Said a source very close to Madhuri, “When Anil Kapoor offered her Sonam’s mother’s role Madhuri was in two minds. She felt hesitant about playing mother to a girl in her 20s.

At the same time, Madhuri also felt awkward about turning down Anil’s offer, an actor with whom she has shared a very warm relationship in the past. So she decided to first watch Freaky Friday.

But yesterday Madhuri decided that the role would not suit her, especially after her last abortive attempt at a comeback in Aaja Nachle. Many protest posts were put up on a social networking site against Madhuri playing mom to Sonam.”

Says Madhuri’s Indian business manager Rakesh Nath, “After much thought Madhuri has decided not to do the Indian remake of Freaky Friday. She will inform Anilji about her decision as soon as he returns from South Africa.”

Help is nessesory for Abhay Deol: Anil Kapoor on Koffee With Karan

Help is necessary for Abhay Deol: Anil Kapoor on Koffee With Karan: Much was said between Abhay Deol and Anil Kapoor on the sets of 'Aisha'. And while Abhay has gone on record to say that he wasn't too pleased with the way the film shaped up besides voicing his problems with Anil Kapoor's production house, Anil on the other hand very boldly in an episode of Koffee with Karan went on record to say 'Abhay Deol needs help'.

When Karan Johar asked him, 'In what way?" he was quick to reply, "in every way! There's something terribly wrong with the guy."

What's going to be the result of this outburst?

It's difficult to say if Abhay Deol and Sonam Kapoor will work together ever again even though the two of them claim to be good friends. What's more is that Abhay Deol is never going to be offered a film by Anil Kapoor's production house. Guess what? Abhay thinks that's a good thing and even terms it as a 'win-win situation'.

Wonder which actor's loss this one is going to be however, Sonam's or Abhay's, that's the question!

No Problem Review - Anil Kapoor's latest film

No Problem Review - Anil Kapoor's latest film: It’s more obnoxious than the thunderous fart of a gorilla! Mercifully, I haven’t been at the receiving end of one (so far), but having watched director Anees Bazmee’s latest claptrap called No Problem, I almost know how it feels like to be blown away by something as malodorous as an ape breaking wind.

Comedy - no, attempted comedy - plumbs to a new low in No Problem, and partners in this cinematic crime are as much the film’s leading stars as its overconfident director. Success shoots faster than champagne to some folks’ heads and No Problem indeed has Bazmee smugly reminding us that he is the man who’s given Bollywood comedies like No Entry, Welcome and Singh Is Kinng - as if they all were masterpieces.

In No Problem the director falls back on the same formula and cobbles together a threadbare plot, with an eye solely on making the audiences laugh any which way. So if it calls for a schizophrenic wife (Sushmita Sen) to love her hubby one moment and bay for his blood the next, so be it! If it calls for usual oddballs like a kleptomaniac thief (Sanjay Dutt), his reformed partner (Akshay Khanna), a reluctant hanger-on (Paresh Rawal), a bumbling cop (Anil Kapoor), his psycho wife (Sush), her vain sister (Kangana Ranaut), and a bunch of gun-toting robbers lead by the unshaven Sunil Shetty and his hideously dressed moll (Neetu Chandra), so be it. Bazmee grinds every grist in the mill to get laughs from you. He sets out to outdo his previous works, but only undoes them.

In case you care to know the story, rest assured there isn’t one to write about. The aforementioned circus of characters is vying to get their hands on a bunch of diamonds in South Africa. Gangsters, cops, thieves and their girlfriends - all are involved in the ruck. A mad melee follows in the end, with a gorilla stepping in for the cameo fart and the fish swallowing the diamonds.

Which brings us to the performances. Save for the gorilla and the fish, everyone’s over the top. Anil Kapoor is hung up on his mitti daal dialogue and does provide a laugh here and there, while Akshaye hams more often than not. Sanjay Dutt looks plainly uninterested and Sush is an image of overacting. Paresh Rawal plays to the gallery, so does Vijay Raaz in a brief role. Kangana’s botoxed lips catch your eye as much as Neetu’s waxed thigh.

Final word! If you have mistakenly watched this film and liked it, there’s a serious problem with you.

No Problem Review - Sanjay Dutt and Anil Kapoor in action: Be ready for another rib-tickler from writer-director Anees Bazmee. No Problem stars Anil Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Sushmita Sen, Kangana Ranaut, Sunil Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Neetu Chandra & Shakti Kapoor.

The film trails the misadventures of Yash Ambani (Sanjay Dutt) and Raj Ambani (Akshaye Khanna), two childhood friends and small time crooks.

Raj contemplates changing tracks and leaving the world of crime. Yash on the other hand always manages to do something which closes all doors for Raj to change his life. After these two engage in their latest bank robbery, Zandulal (Paresh Rawal), the bank manager, is accused as their accomplice. Zandulal is now on a quest to prove his innocence.

In the meanwhile, Raj falls in love with Sanjana (Kangana Ranaut), who is the younger sister of Kajal (Sushmita Sen), the daughter of the Commissioner of Police (Shakti Kapoor) and the wife of Arjun Singh (Anil Kapoor), a cop. What then follows is a hilarious trail of love, missing diamonds and the mysterious murder of a white collared mafia.

Who did the murder? Where are the diamonds? Will Yash, Raj and Zandulal be able to prove their innocence? Check out in this hilarious ‘whodunit’, as No Problem gears up to hit the big screens.

The film has music by Pritam and is set for release on December 10, 2010.

Anil Kapoor to go bald for next film 'Power'

Anil Kapoor to go bald for next film 'Power': Not really known to experiment with his looks, actor Anil Kapoor is now ready to shock many a fan.

The star who’s already bagged the Hollywood film Mission Impossible 4, will now go bald for director Rajkumar Santoshi’s next film Power. In the movie, Anil plays a cunning and manipulative villain and the bald look adds an edge to the character.

Reportedly it was not easy for Anil to take a call on this radical makeover. We hear that he mulled a lot before finally deciding to shave off his finely groomed crop even though he had an option to wear a wig.

The movie is a multi-starrer with a host of actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan.

Anil will have to wrap up the shoots of other films before going bald. For one, he will see the shoot of MI 4 through before changing his look.

Can’t wait to see a baldie Anil!

Anil Kapoor, Tom Cruise together in 'Mission Impossible 4'

Anil Kapoor, Tom Cruise together in 'Mission Impossible 4': Hollywood has doubtlessly been beckoning Indian actor Anil Kapoor ever since he shot to international stardom with the success and Oscar haul of Slumdog Millionaire. Kapoor has already lapped a major role in TV series 24, where he played a leader from middle-east.

Now, the actor has been approached for ‘Mission Impossible 4’ film with Tom Cruise.

“At this point I can only say that have been contacted for 'Mission impossible 4' and I have said yes for the role,” Kapoor said refusing to divulge details about his role.

The actor is reportedly playing a baddie alongside The Girl With Dragon Tattoo actor Michael Nyqvist, who plays the main villain.

Apart from Kapoor, other major stars roped in for the fourth instalment include the Hurt Locker actor Jeremy Renner as Cruise's partner, Paula Patton, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg.

Sonam Kapoor, Karima Kapoor, Anil Kapoor: Herve Léger at India Couture Week 2010

Sonam Kapoor, Karima Kapoor, Anil Kapoor: Herve Léger at India Couture Week 2010: Sonam Kapoor wowed in a black Herve Léger couture sheath dress at the India Couture Week 2010 at the Karan Johar show on Thursday, October 7 in Mumbai.

On October 6, Day 1, of Couture Week, Sonam Kapoor rocked a black Max Azria dress at Manish Malhotra's show.

Black seems to be her color of choice these days. It could well be the color of choice for the entire Kapoor family, because Sonam was squired to the event by charming dad Anil Kapoor who too was dressed in all black. It was the same color he wore at the opening party for the couture week on October 5!

Anyway, Sonam, 25, paired her shoulder and back baring long sleeve bandage dress with a sparkly clutch and black pumps.

Earlier on Thursday, Sonam Tweeted to her fans:

"Going for Karan and Varun show tonight.. Wearing a vintage herve leger couture.."

Sonam Kapoor Karima Kapoor Manish Malhotra

"Not use to legers .. Bloody tight aren't they!!!" she added.

Sonam wore the dress with a matching attitude - Chunky circular stud earrings, loud sparkly blue eyeshadow, plumped out light pink lips and a tousled updo with a boufant top.

She rocked all the way!

Anil Kapoor to take Shakira in his next flick as guest appearence

Anil Kapoor to take Shakira in his next flick as guest appearance: Producer Anil Kapoor has vowed to leave no stone unturned for his home production No Problem that boasts of a huge star cast including Sushmita Sen, Akshaye Khanna, Kangana Ranaut, Sanjay Dutt, Bipasha Basu and Anil himself. Now the actor-turned-producer is trying to rope in the Waka Waka singer Shakira for a special appearance in a film’s song.

Good for us. After seeing Kylie Minogue doing Chiggy Wiggy in Blue, watching Shakira’s hip-swaying will be no less a visual delight. But getting Shakira is a big feat and Anil is using his hard-earned star power to do the unattainable. He has reportedly spoken to Andre in Wizcraft to speak to her.

Actually the music director of the film Pritam has composed a song on the lines of Shakira’s Hips Don’t Lie. So getting the buxom Latino will just add to the USP of the film. Anil is quite kicked about the idea of getting the singer for the song.

Guys, keep your fingers crossed. Haseena maan jaye!

Indian Actress Sonam Kapoor and Anil Kapoor will work together!

Sonam Kapoor and Anil Kapoor

Indian Actress Sonam Kapoor and Anil Kapoor will work together: After a film like Love Sex Aur Dhokha, what’s next for director Dibakar Banerjee?

The buzz has it that the maverick director is interested in signing Sonam Kapoor with Abhay Deol and is also in talks with Anil Kapoor to play a crucial role in his next film.

If this happens, then the father-daughter duo will come together for the first time on big screen.

From what we learn, Dibakar is planning a film on an old book titled 'Z', written by a Greek author.

The film is going to be a political thriller with the title Shanghai. Though the script is still being worked upon, Anil has apparently been approached for a negative character which he has liked immensely. So far Anil has avoided working with Sonam, even though many producers want them to portray father and daughter in their films. But a Dibakar Banerjee film is different. Anil seems to be highly impressed with what he has heard.

It’s learnt that Dibakar has spent nine months to shape up this film and unlike his other projects, this movie will have violence. This movie is going to be co-produced by PVR Pictures and will go on floors by March 2011. Dibakar has already worked with Abhay, so signing him will not be a big deal.

Let’s wait and watch if Sonam comes into the picture or not.
