Salman Khan’s Veer grabbed for Rs 150 crores
Salman Khan’s much hyped movie, Veer has been acquired by an Indian production house for its overseas rights for a whopping Rs 150 crores.
This eclipses the Rs 120 crores rights offered for Vipul Shah’s London Dreams before even a single scene was filmed.
Veer has garnered much hype because it is being promoted, written by and acted in By Salman Khan. Salman has truly put all his efforts in multiple areas for this movie. Apart from playing the lead character, he has penned the film’s story as well as has turned its producer. He is hell bent to make Veer a bigger project than rival Shah Rukh Khan’s hit, Om Shanti Om.
Anil Sharma’s period drama, Veer stars Salman and Sohail Khan along with a debutante model turned actress and Mithun Chakraborty.
The staggering price offered is a sort of moral victory for Salman Khan as he is now considered the hottest stars of Bollywood in terms of market price overtaking Shah Rukh Khan by leaps and bounds
Shilpa opens up, sizzles on the cover of ‘People’ mag
Mumbai, Sept 01: Bollywood damsel Shilpa Shetty has featured on the cover of the September issue of ‘People’ magazine. The infamous ‘Big Brother’ contestant has opened her heart out in an exclusive interview to the mag.
The sultry Shetty babe has gone ahead and unravelled her personal life. Shilpa has revealed the reason she will never put Raj Kundra and her life in the spotlight as well as why some details of that life will never see daylight.
The actress has also clarified that she’ll never be a housemate again. “I can't go through it all over again". Guess that the reality TV stint in UK's ‘Big Brother’ did her enough damage to leave the actress a bit wary for lifetime. Ms Shetty has, for the first time, discussed her future business plans with many ventures lined up with beau Raj Kundra, who is a London based entrepreneur and a producer at the same time.
Raj has been a part of Bollywood productions previously too, some of them include- the Akshay-Karisma starrer ‘Mere Jeevan Saathi’, and the recently released ‘Strangers’ that starred Jimmy Shergill and Nandana Sen.
Ram Gopal Varma hits at John Abraham this time
Mumbai, Sept 01: Looks like Ram Gopal Varma’s attempts of hogging the limelight with his much-hyped ‘very scary’ flick ‘Phoonk’ has all but gone in vain. And, now his only resort is the blog world. In his recent blog entry, the director has poked fun at John Abraham suggesting that the actor is enjoying stardom only because of his ‘good looks’.
In his blog Ramu went on to state, “If John Abraham's stardom is due to his deadly looks in ‘Dhoom’ why spoil it by making a film like ‘No Smoking’ with him. The director might have gotten out a performance out of him and he also might have done very well but the question is whether people want to see him act or just look good.”
So, now Ramu talks about the difference between a star and actor and how they affect the success of a film. Wonder if he really realizes how a director does the same?
