Kangana Ranaut refused to wear the bikini?

Kangana Ranaut refused to wear the bikini?: Kangana Ranaut was game to don a bikini for a scene in director David Dhawan’s comedy film Rascals, but backed out at the last minute.

The shoot was being done in Thailand last week and the male co-stars Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan were ready for the scene in which Kangana was to emerge from the sea in nothing more than a sexy bikini. Reportedly, Dhawan had discussed the scene with Kangana before and she had not just given her nod but also shopped for the bikini.

But when the time came for Kangs to slip into a two-piece she had second thoughts and refused to do the scene. Several reasons are being cited for her flip-flop. One is that she backed out after learning that in the scene Sanjay and Ajay were supposed to ogle at her. Another is that she was not comfortable in slipping into the two-piece because she has gained weight recently and did not want her flab to be seen.

Whatever the reason, we hear the shoot was stalled for hours after Kangana refused to wear the bikini despite persuasion by the director and co-stars. Not just that, she later left the Thailand shoot mid-way and flew down to Mumbai to promote her film Tanu Weds Manu.

Thankfully, the issue has now been sorted out and we hear that Kangana has at last agreed to wear the bikini.

Kangana Ranaut play an audacious role in 'Tanu Weds Manu'

Kangana Ranaut play an audacious role in 'Tanu Weds Manu': Kangana Ranaut, most popular for playing the ‘girl interrupted’ kind of roles on the big screen will be seen playing a hilariously quirky character in this Friday’s release Tanu Weds Manu.

In the movie, Kangana plays Tanu, a rebellious girl from a small town.

“My character in the film is not glamorous. She is audacious but very lovable character. She is from a very cultured Kanpur family, who has studied in Delhi University. But then she also likes to shock people and have a bit of fun,” Kangana is quoted as saying by a news agency.

The actress added that unlike her previous roles she did not have to do any research for this one because she has known a lot of girls like Tanu.

“I come from the North, I have grown up with people who think like Tanu and also dress up like her. So it was not a role that needed too much research,” she said.

The movie stars Madhavan as Kangana’s NRI suitor. The movie is a romantic comedy about how love gradually takes root between two unlike-minded people.

Madhavan very fond of Kangana Ranaut

Madhavan very fond of Kangana Ranaut: Actor R. Madhavan really enjoyed working with National Award winning actress Kangana Ranaut in 'Tanu Weds Manu', so much so that the multi-lingual star admits he has become fond of her and would like to do more films with the pretty actress.

'I am very fond of Kangana and attracted to her. I feel she is an extremely competent actor, very professional and she has actively contributed to the role for the first time,' Madhavan told IANS.

'As an actor, I have never worked with a heroine who does that. They (other heroines) are happy doing what the script demands from them but Kangana is the one who was pushing the envelope. I hope I can do another film with Kangana, I really enjoyed working with her,' he said.

Madhavan rubbished a media report that said he was angry with Kangana as she was hogging the limelight in the film's promotion.

'Unfortunately, it's wrong news,' he said. 'Kangana is shooting in Bangkok, so she did her character's (Tanu) promotion earlier,' he said.

'There is absolutely no reason to be upset with her and I am really missing her.'

Directed by Anand Rai, 'Tanu Weds Manu' is set to hit theatres Feb 25. It is a romantic comedy, which shows how two seemingly opposite natured people fall in love.

'I don't know why this romantic tag stuck with me for so long.

They (directors) want it, so I give them that. I am not going to fight it. This is a different kind of romantic story. It's not a cliche 'hold my hand and get into a fight' later on kind of story. It's very real and I don't remember if I have seen such a romantic film ever,' said Madhavan, who plays the role of Manu in the film.

About the film, Madhavan said: 'Manu is brought up in a small town in a middle class family, very happy with whatever his parents have in mind for him, no rebellious quality unnecessarily. He goes to London, spends eight to nine years and comes back with his tradition intact, like most Indian guys, who go from a small town, do.

'What happens is you forget that in the span of time of your staying abroad, your town has changed-McDonalds, MTV, all have come in and people are having flings for the sake of it and suddenly there is a complete mismatch in the opposite direction.

'You are an Indian, she is westernized, you are a conformist, she is rebellious and there is a mismatch. But love has its own course.'

The character is semantic to most of the foreign-returned small town guys, said Madhavan. 'It rarely happens that one who goes abroad, returns with a foreigner wife or girlfriend, smoking and speaking with an accent. Ninety percent

come back being more Indian than they were.'

The reigning star of the south is eager to offer varied shades of characters to his Hindi audience.

'In the south, I have done some really dynamic characters, really brutal and masculine ones. Unfortunately, the Hindi guys haven't seen that angry guy in me as yet. So if a script like that comes along, I would really love to do (the role of) an angry young man now,' said Madhavan.

'I think I am competent in comedy. Even 'Tanu Weds Manu' is comical but it has no comedy, it's humorous. But I would love to do a comedy film. I just did a hard-core comedy film in Tamil, which did very well,' said Madhavan.

The actor revealed that he has signed two more Hindi films but refrained from giving any details.

Kangana Ranaut no for kiss by Mika

Kangana Ranaut no for kiss by Mika: Kangana Ranaut plays a feisty girl in the upcoming matrimonial comedy Tanu Weds Manu. But she got cold feet at the idea of kissing the Punjabi singer Mika.

In the movie, Mika has sung a peppy song titled Jugni. It’s a promotional track that was recently shot on the film’s lead actors Kangana and Madhavan with Mika joining in for a jig.

While filming the song, director Anand L Rai came up with the idea of making Mika kiss Kangana at the song’s end, just the way he locked lips with the item girl Rakhi Sawant a few years ago at her birthday.

The antic was intended to be funny, but Kangana wasn’t comfortable in being kissed by Mika. So she told the director to axe the kiss.

Katrina Kaif, Kangana Ranaut's Celebrity Tantrums!

Katrina Kaif, Kangana Ranaut's Celebrity Tantrums!: Bollywood stars are known to be travelling long hours due to their busy schedules and this makes them as exhausted as ever and if not that then their different tantrums are something which the air staff have to bear with utmost courtesy.

Two such stars on the list of the most frequent travelers are Katrina Kaif and Kangana Ranaut.

According to reports in a popular tabloid, Katrina Kaif recently had shown her tantrums on a flight when she was travelling for the promotion of her film Tees Maar Khan.

The actress had reportedly fallen asleep as soon as she had boarded the flight.

So, when the hostess announced twice over the system for Katrina to please fasten her seat belt, the actress did not do so as she was fast asleep, the hostess had to come forward and tap on the actress shoulder to wake her up. Katrina woke up and yelled at the stewardess for touching her so. There was quite a commotion in the flight, which only cooled off after the hostess apologized to the star. Katrina fell asleep immediately after that.

Kangana Raut too has her share of celebrity tantrums. As Kangana travels with her assistant who travels economy class, the hostess is made to ask him what Kangana’s food preferences would be and then come back to the executive class to serve the actress, it becomes extremely tiresome for the air staff to keep up to the tantrums of Kangana Ranaut.

Well,both these reports have been denied by the actresses spokes persons and it is being said that this is all just rumors going around. Well, stars and their starry tantrums! Or is it the traveler’s itch that brings out this behaviour?

Kangana Ranaut feel sick after smoking pot

Kangana Ranaut feel sick after smoking pot: Kangana Ranaut was game for shooting a scene in which she was supposed to smoke a fake joint. Little did she know that the joint had real pot.

In the upcoming comedy film Tanu Weds Manu, Kangana plays an absolutely bindaas girl who drinks and smokes with abandon. For a scene she was supposed to roll a joint and inhale from it. However, unknown to her, some members of the film’s crew put real marijuana (gaanja) in the joint.

And after canning just a few shots, in which she had to inhale repeatedly, Kangana’s head began to spin. She complained of feeling sick and before anyone could know what to do, she threw up.

Yes, the dizziness from the joint made her puke.

So sick did she feel with pot kick that Kangana didn’t even wrap the day’s shoot. The smoking scene was shot later and this time no one dared to spike her joint.

Kangana Ranaut reject offer for Hrithik’s ‘Krissh’ sequell

Kangana Ranaut reject offer for Hrithik’s ‘Krissh’ sequel: When Hrithik Roshan and papa Rakesh Roshan approached Kangana Ranaut for Krissh sequel, the actress politely turned down the offer. Why?

The buzz is that Kangana was the first choice for second lead opposite Hrithik, who will again don the superhero garb for the sequel to the hit Krissh. The Roshans apparently asked Kangana for a role that is on the lines of catwoman. Yes, a super-heroine! Though the offer looked lucrative, Kangs has vowed not to play the second fiddle anymore. Krissh has Priyanka Chopra as the main actress.

Reports also have it that the Roshans tried to woo the actress by telling her that the role requires a lot of action and that it’s written keeping her in mind, but Kangs remained unperturbed. She has played second lead in some of her recent flicks and hasn’t benefited at all. Kangana was even kept out of the promotions for Kites while the whole attention was on Barbara Mori.

Thus, no catwoman stint for Kangana!

Kangana Ranaut's 'Tanu Weds Manu' on going

Kangana Ranaut's 'Tanu Weds Manu' on going: “Tanu Weds Manu”, which will see the fresh pairing of Kangana Ranaut and R. Madhavan, was initially titled “Manu Weds Tanu” but the name was changed at the lead actress’ behest.Director Anand Rai felt “Manu Weds Tanu” was an appropriate title, but Kangana who plays Tanu in the film, insisted that the title should be “Tanu Weds Manu” and not “Manu Weds Tanu” because the narrative unfolds from Tanu’s point of view, said a source.

The director was taken aback, but Kangana explained her point saying Tanu, a small town, wild girl, is the one in the commanding position compared to Madhavan’s character Manu who is shown as a simple NRI guy in the comedy.

When the director spoke to Madhavan, thinking he would get upset, the actor saw the point immediately and readily agreed with Kangana.

“It’s true that the film was earlier titled ‘Manu Weds Tanu’. However, we felt that ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ was a more suitable title, according to the demands of the script. So we decided to go with ‘Tanu Weds Manu’,” said Rai.

The film will release Feb 25.

Kangana Ranaut and Abhishek Bachchan in ‘Game’ - First Look

Kangana Ranaut and Abhishek Bachchan in ‘Game’ - First Look: His last few films as the main lead were flops; now you will see Abhishek Bachchan as a stylish druglord in the movie Game. The actor is romancing former Miss India Sarah Jane Dias in the film and will share screen with hotties Kangana Ranaut and Gauhar Khan.

Game is a murder mystery which promises thrill, action, suspense and dollops of oomph. ‘It’s not over till it’s over’ is the catchline of the film. The actress Kangana Ranaut who is always on the lookout for meatier roles has turned a smart police officer for Game, while Sarah gets to plays the illusive character of Maya. She also has a sizzling item song along with a steamy scene with Bachchan Jr.

Kangana Ranaut 'No' for explicit scenes!

Kangana Ranaut 'No' for explicit scenes!: Actress Kangana Ranaut was the most favoured contender to bag the lead role in producer Ekta Kapoor’s next film Ragini MMS.

After Love Sex Aur Dhokha, Kapoor is set to back another film with a voyeuristic theme. Titled Ragini MMS, the film is inspired from a video tape of a couple making love. What’s different in this tape is that the girl seems to be possessed by something paranormal during the act.

Needless to say, the film called for explicit scenes from Kangana Ranaut.

When Ekta met her and talked about the role, Kangana didn’t show much interest because, in Ekta’s words, she (Kangana) was more inclined towards doing a romantic role.

So now Kangana is no longer in the project and Ekta is on the lookout for a new face to step into the breach as the film is set to roll soon.
