Aditya Chopra wants to direct DHOOM 3

Now, this might sound a bit interesting. If the latest reports emerging out of the Yash Raj camp are to be believed, it seems Aditya Chopra is all set to make the much talked about film DHOOM 3 if his dream cast is by his side.

Buzz is that Aditya Chopra wants to direct DHOOM 3 if SRK and Hrithik are part of the film. Though, many believe that SRK can never say NO to him, but Hrithik seems to be a tough nut to crack given his other commitments.

Well, if everything else goes according to the plan, the audiences can expect yet another spectacle from the Yash Raj camp.

Sallu's gal Kat with ex-dost SRK!

There’s a treat for everyone’s eyes. The dream jodi of Yash Raj Films’ blue-eyed boy and the nation’s favorite Barbie girl will finally be seen together in a YRF film.

Just as we got to know about Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif parading together at the Independence Day Carnival in Chicago and Houston next week, we learn that YRF has caught the two stars for their film which will be made early next year.

The film will be directed by either Aditya Chopra or Kabir Khan.

The project has been in the pipeline for a long time and rumours have been doing rounds for a while now too, but this time, it’s for real, the deal has been inked. However, Salman Khan’s shadow looms large over the pair. While the two Khans warred openly at Katrina’s birthday party, most thought that they would never get to see SRK and Katrina in the same frame ever.

But YRF seems to have done it.

Our source reveals, “Katrina definitely has it going for her. SRK, on the other hand, has remained in the safe zone — as far as heroines are concerned — for a long time. Be it Rani Mukerji or Preity Zinta, he has stuck to his regulars and has worked with them repeatedly. He needs to be a tad more adventurous about his co-stars, and that’s where Katrina comes into the picture.”

Katrina, on her side, has taken the pains to make it clear that she will never allow personal issues to chart her career. Whatever the status of Salman’s relationships with others, she will not allow that to come in the way of decision-making.

Imagine Rani Mukherji in a bikini???

Guys at Yash Raj Films not only can but have shot petite Rani Mukherji during a movie. Apparently, this talented actress donned a bikini for a promotional remix song for 'Dil Bole Hadippa!' However, as characteristic of all YRF productions, it's a hush-hush news which, unfortunately for them, just got spilled.

According to our source, though the promos of the film show her both as a Punjabi girl and a boy, the actress also has been given a rather chic avatar in the film where she will be seen sporting bikini tops. The source added that recently a song was shot with Shahid Kapur and her where she was clad in a bikini. She had no inhibitions whatsoever for the song.

The source continues that Rani had lost oodles of weight for her role under the aegis of Aamir Khan's trainer Satya Chaurasia. The actress is quite happy with the results and so didn't think twice to flaunt it. In any case, she will be back on screen after a long break and so the actress wants to make the most of it even if it calls for shedding inhibitions.

Anushka restless with YRF?

If reports are to be believed, Anushka Sharma is quite keen on moving beyond Yash Raj Films. The production house that launched her in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi has also reportedly signed an exclusive three-film contract and prohibits her from signing a film with any other banners, Mid Day reports.

The paper quotes sources saying that the young star is now 'getting restless and wants the contract to end soon so she can take on more work' and expressed her desire with Parmeet 'to wrap up the schedule for this movie as soon as possible.'

An insider told the paper "Parmeet plans to finish the film without any break. It also works for Anushka, who plans to get straight into her third and final film with the banner, as soon as this one wraps."

Anushka Sharma's spokesperson though offered a different take. "Anushka is happy with her Yash Rraj contract. She is free to do films outside the banner. She dislikes talking about projects that are in the pipeline and will talk about them when they hit the floor," the spokesperson was quoted as saying.

Vidya Balan with Aamir in Yash Raj film?

There is a strong buzz in the industry circles that Vidya Balan has been signed by Yash Chopra for his directorial next. It is the same project which was supposed to star Aamir Khan along with Preity Zinta. But while, Aamir is still being non-committal about being approached for the project, other news making the rounds is that Preity has been replaced by Vidya Balan.

Sources are claiming that it is a love story spanning ages, but is completely different from Chopra’s last directorial effort Veer Zara. Incidentally, Veer Zara also had its lead pair Shahrukh Khan and Preity Zinta playing characters both young and old. Sources further claim that Yash Chopra intends to begin this film by early 2010 and make it a grand Diwali 2010 release. He will be finally directing a film after 6 years since he directed Veer Zara (2004).


While there has been no confirmation from both Vidya Balan or Yash Raj Films yet, we can only imagine right now what crackling chemistry it would be of Aamir and Vidya, and to top it all with romance king Yash Chopra directing it.

Rani getting superstitious?

One has often heard of Govinda’s obsession for puja’s and superstitions but now we hear that Rani Mukherjee has gone the same way. She is constantly hanging on to superstitions and rituals to keep her anxieties at bay if our sources’ claims are to be believed.

Rani Mukherjee had been going through bad times. Rani’s father was also not keeping well. However, things are looking upbeats since her next, the Yash Raj Films’ production Dil Bole Hadippa opposite Shahid Kapur is all set for a release soon now. The actress who was at the peak of her career a few years ago with releases like Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black, Yash Raj’s Veer Zaara and Karan Johar’s Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, suddenly seems to have come up against a wall. Her talent is not really in question, but her luck and choice of films is.

After Black, instead of going for a variety of roles, which would showcase her talent, the actress chose instead to stick to banners like Yash Raj alone. With films like- Laaga Chunri Mein Daag and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic. Bhansali’s Saawariya did nothing to improve matters. The actress has sought divine help to overcome all the obstacles. She is believed to have undertaken a fast on every Thursday for 40 weeks, followed by a pooja at the Sai Baba temple in Shirdi. The actress has already been at it for the last three months. We just hope for her sake that it all works out fine for her. But things just may change and maybe Rani will again become the queen of hearts and the box office.

The curious case of Shahid Kapoor- Ages from 28 to 22!

Don’t get confused as we are talking of Shahid’s upcoming flick with Yash Raj Films, where he is supposed to look much younger than his age. For this, the handsome lad has worked equally hard and has gained the perfect look that was demanded of him.
In Kaminey he has build a well-toned body and dons a macho man look. On the other hand, in his next flick with Yash Raj and Anushka Sharma, the actor has slimmed down and is looking very young.
“I work according to my scripts and the character that I am portraying. In Kaminey I needed a good physique for which I have worked for almost a year and sacrifice on my liking of food. Where as, in my next film with Anushka, I need to look much younger so I have done sacrifices over there too,” rues the young lad.
Elaborating on adapting himself according to the script, the actor chirps, “You can find good directors, producers and actors but not a good script. And if my script demands me to change, then I would do so gladly.”
“For this new look I had to cut down on my muscular body and get a thin shape, which I have attained. I also liked my look for this film and am ready to take all kinds of challenge. Even if my next venture demands me to go out of the way for physical or mental challenge I would go ahead with it,” he concludes.
Well definitely we can say for Shahid ki success ke liye kuch bhi karega.

Rani Mukherjee trying to coax with Salman Khan in YRF

Rani Mukerji has a lot of time due to no film in hand, to sit down and chart out plans for the Chopra camp of which she is an integral part. Sources bilived she is trying her best to coax Salman Khan to work with Yash Raj Films as Aditya Chopra wants him in a YR film.

Salman is one hero who despite having been in the industry for more than 20 years has never once worked with them. Earlier too, during the making of Chak De! India’, Aditya Chopra had first approached Salman for the lead role but since the actor took too long to give the final nod, he went ahead and signed Shah Rukh Khan instead.

But this time with good pal Rani trying to get him in, Salman might probably give it a second thought. And if Sallu says yes, we will get to see the hunk flexing his muscles in Yash Raj’s next venture to be directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya who directed the film Tashan.
