Pc's role as nurse rewritten by kjo

Priyanka Chopra brings a very large amount of sensuality into every project she is given.

In Karan Johar’s Dostana, the swimming costume shots came in only after Aishwarya Rai said ‘No’ to the film, and now Priyanka’s entry into Karan’s next, Agneepath 2, has ruffled a few feathers.

In fact, lately, there has been much dispute in Karan’s company Dharma Productions over Priyanka’s sensuality-quotient in their forthcoming remake of Agneepath.

The original character of the nurse (played by Madhavi) has been found a bit boring for Priyanka’s presence.

The character is now being re-written into a different professional space to accommodate Priyanka’s presence. All said and done, Priyanka will not be seen as a nurse in Agneepath 2.

Says Karan, “We can’t have Priyanka playing a nurse, please!”

Wonder what nurses would say that, KJo!

Guzzarish gets a thumb's up ...

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘magical’ direction, Hrithik-Ash’s chemistry, and the film’s soulful music, has worked for Guzaarish, which realezed yesterday i.e November 19.

Calling it a wonderful work of art, movie critic Subhash K Jha is also all praise for Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai.

“Guzaarish is Bhansali’s most tender and evocative film to date. It layers the pain of a dying body with the passion of an unstoppable spirit as manifested in Hrithik’s skilled and effortless performance as a quadriplegic who pledges to make every moment of his limited “sau gram zindagi” pleasurable for himself an those around him,” writes Jha, who has given the rare five-star rating to the movie.

The dazzling chemistry of Hrithik-Ash has transformed into something “deep and satisfying” according to Jha. Says he, “Barring Amitabh Bachchan in Black there has never been a better performance in a Bhansali film than Hrithik’s in Guzaarish. He grabs Ethan’s role and makes the dying character come alive in delightful waves of provocative histrionics. And if we’re talking chemistry between Hrithik and Aishwarya, then let’s get one thing clear – this ain’t Dhoom. It’s something far deeper and satisfying.”

Movie critic Taran Adarsh, who has given four-star rating to the film feels that the movie is “special in more ways than one”.

He writes, “Bhansali has worked himself to the grind and his presence is felt in every frame of Guzaarish. There is an inimitable intellect that Bhansali brings to his movies. Bhansali is also known to extract the best performances from his actors.”

Also Sanjay Leela Bhansali successfully tells a complex story in a convincing way. “Only a sensitive raconteur can do absolute justice to a challenging subject like the one in Guzaarish and Bhansali seems the right candidate for an extremely tricky theme like mercy killing/Euthanasia. The story is complex and can only be narrated by a storyteller who has the art of telling stories most convincingly”, says Adarsh.

Aamir Goes bald again .....

If rumor mills are to be believed, Aamir Khan is back to his Ghajini hair-cut, and will grow his locks step by step to decide which hair-style looks best on him.

A source told, “Aamir has shaved his head, but not completely. It’s basically a look which resembles related stories the one he had in Ghajini.”

The actor shaved off his hair on November 8. “The shaving happened on November 8. It was done at his residence. Obviously, nobody else was present except a new hairdresser and Aamir’s family,” continues the source.

The actor will allow his hair to grow, and would then zero on the look that he wants for Reema Kagti’s suspense drama. “Now, Aamir will growing his hair all over again. And he shall settle on the crop which he feels would best suit him.”

Well Aamir, we hope this doesn’t play havoc with the director’s date diary.

Reason Behind ImranKhan's Decision for court Marriage

There have been many rumours about how Imran Khan will wed his girlfriend of many years Avanitka Malik. The couple had set their mind on some date in January 2011, they were not sure how they would want to go about it. While some suggested a nikaah, some advised on a big reception.

But both Imran and Avantika agreed on one thing, they wanted a quiet affair.

It was during the shooting of Break Ke Baad, that Imran Khan finally decided to go for court marriage. The inspiration came from the director of the film, Danish Aslam, who has had a court marriage with actress Shruti Seth not too long ago.

So, as of now Imran has decided that he will have a very private, court marriage at his house in the second week of January, next year.

Confirming the same, Imran says, “I am from a Muslim family and Avantika belongs to a Hindu family. I personally didnt want to commit our wedding to one religion or other. We felt the best way for us would be to keep it neutral and have a court marriage. Danish was in the same situation and so went for a court marriage.”

"Spending time with Abhi is Quite a holiday for me" Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai says life has been extremely fast-paced since the day she chose to study science in high school. Now the internationally renowned actor is waiting to take a much-needed break before entering another year full of film projects.

“I keep joking that the pace of my life has been so hectic ever since high school. From Class 12, when I was a science student, till date it has only been a hectic pace and that’s the only pace perhaps my body knows now.” says Ash.

This year has been particularly hectic for the 36-year-old actor thanks to the release of her films – Raavan, Robot, Action Replayy and Guzaarish in quick succession.

There has been so much jet-setting in and out of the country and travelling within India for the promotion of her films that Aishwarya fell slightly ill. But she is not complaining.

“Come on! I’m okay now. If you think work pressure has affected me, how would you explain Hrithik (Roshan) getting unwell after doing just two films in two years? I just got a day’s fever and I’m all raring to go,” she said.

Aishwarya is now looking forward to some relaxing time.

“It’s almost the end of November and very little of December is left. I had deliberately kept a little part of December off because, since 2008 I have been working continuously”

Ash is still in talks with film-makers on her future projects and will be able to announce further developments around February next year.

“There have been talks. Producers are working out the scheduling, and then the announcements will be made. I was going to sign two films to do this winter, but I declined them because I had prior commitments. The next lot of offers will materialise post-February and March, and will continue beyond next Christmas,” claims Ash.

So she wants to make the most of her holiday period with husband Abhishek Bachchan and all her family members.

“Spending time together is quite a holiday for me. It doesn’t matter where we are,” she says.

For now, Aishwarya is just waiting to get the audience reaction to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s just released Guzaarish, in which she plays Sofia, a nurse to a paraplegic essayed by Hrithik.

“It is my final release of this year…and what a special film to share with our audience! My character Sofia is very special. The kind of capacity, strength, resilience, commitment, empathy and unconditional love that she has for a patient just takes this character to a different realm altogether,” ends Ash.

Guzzarish has picked up really well

In the festive season when madcap comedies are all the rage, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s dark and broody film Guzaarish wasn’t expected to get a great opening anyway.

The film, starring Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai and directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, had an average, or even below average opening at many multiplexes in major cities. But as the rave reviews began to come in from critics, and the positive word of mouth from the viewers began to spread around, the film picked up in the evening shows.

Multiplexes in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Pune saw greater footfalls in the evening. The collection is likely to go up further on Saturday and Sunday.

Given the fact that the film has no major competition at box office except from Golmaal 3 which released two weeks back, Guzaarish is expected to do a decent business in its first week.

Funny Jokes

A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.

"Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"
The blonde said, "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?"
The man replied, "She should. She was standing on the porch."

A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
"You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats. "Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. "And by the way," the blonde added, "that's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."
