Teeing off: Raj Kundra, Shilpa Shetty and Ravi Krishnan (Vice Chairman-Rajasthan Royals) at a press conference at Taj Lands End. |
Didn't know she had that much going on. Except for the new haircut, which we are not particularly ecstatic about.
Stop to surgery
After many stories and questions; Shah Rukh Khan has decided to postpone his shoulder operation from this week to February 14 after home production Billu Barber's release.
Apparently, the star is very keen to promote the film properly and has consulted his doctors on this. Also, he's keen on getting the operation done in India because he wants to be closer to his kids. All together now, Aww!!!
Meanwhile
After seeing a special preview of Billu Barber, Karan Johar's Facebook status says: I wept inu00a0 the last twenty minutes! Good for SRK. Kyunki usually, audience rota hai, toh producer hasta hai.
Koko goes Kannada
Konkana Sen Sharma will feature with Malayalam superstar Mammootty in Abhay Simha's Kannada film Shikari. The young writer-director has finally managed to convince Mammootty to feature in his film.
Simha's first directorial venture Gubbachchigalu bagged the Best film award at the New York film festival besides being screened at many film festivals. Good going.
Tusshki turns host
Tusshar Kapoor, unlike sister Ekta has never thrown a lavish party. He'd planned one last year and then cancelled it after the terror attacks.
Now more than two months later, this Friday, Tush is the mood to have his first-ever party. He's busy calling and sending text messages to everyone.
Ask him what's the party for and he chirps, "No reason. Just to spend time with friends." What a friendly guy, no? And here we're waiting to see what tiff happens at this do!
What about bonny Boney?
A forever weight-conscious birdie chirps to say that Sridevi is the latest B-Town actress to consult Dr Sarita Dawre. The low-profile Vile Parle dietician has scores of starry clients who she helps become reed-thin.
But Sri is ship-shape, so why is she seeking help on an already fit body? The birdie chuckles to say, "Sri should have enrolled hubby Boney Kapoor instead!"
Bowled!
After getting a businessman boyfriend, and flashing Birkin bags, now Shilpa Shetty has copied Preity Zinta again.
Shilpa, along with beau Raj Kundra, has become part of the IPL phenomenon by buying a 12% stake in last-time winners Rajasthan Royals and are reportedly set to invest $15.4 million.
Shilpa will also promote the team, "Perhaps a music video will also come," she said at the press conference to announce the deal.
Interestingly, the Royals were the only team to not have any celebrity faces linked to them. Maybe that was their luck ka raaz?
Ladies and bevda man: Anurag Kashyap's Dev D stars Mahi Gill and Kalki Koechlin at the film's game launch held at Pause, Bandra, on Monday.
Dance ka chance
Shahid Kapoor has been getting rave responses for his new ad for a sound system. He has been seen in two ad films after four years in B-Town.
The sound system company picked Shasha to promote their brand, as he is synonymous with music, dance and masti. His dance steps were complicated and he had many practice sessions.
In fact, we heard that once after finishing his film shoot at 2 am, he went for rehearsals without taking a break. Dedication or does he just love to dance?
Message for free
Akshay Kumar will be working for free in Priyadarshan's film on AIDS, slated to roll in August. As reported 'Masti to message for King Kumar' (HiTLIST, August 27), the project is for a social cause.
Says the director, "When Akshay and I are doing a stark film on AIDS, we leave our negotiating abilities behind. But when we work on a De Dhana Dhan, none of us is buying into the current recession theory."
This message-movie is that one mandatory from-the-heart movie that Priyan has decided to make every year after Kanjeevaram, which highlighted the silk weavers.
"The film will be songless and of one hour, 50 minutes duration. Even Paresh Rawal is not charging anything for this film." Cheers to the three message musketeers!
