Known to readily add and reduce kilos to play his roles convincingly throughout his decade-long career, this time Abhishek Bachchan is saying no to the muscled look. At a time when other leading men in the industry are building six-pack and eight-pack abs, Junior Bachchan is busy trying to acquire a
lean look. His training regime for Yash Raj Films’ Dhoom 3 is being kept under wraps, ever since he started training three weeks ago.
The actor is currently shooting for Abbas-Mustan’s Players in New Zealand, where he has also been working out under the supervision of an international trainer, who was flown there by the Chopras nearly a month ago.
Unlike Dhoom 2 (2006), Bachchan has enough time to get into shape for Dhoom 3. A friend of the actor explains, “Back then, Abhishek had finished shooting Mani Ratnam’s Guru, for which he had to put on about 12 kilos. Since the shooting of Dhoom 2 was scheduled to start soon because dates of all the main actors were coordinated, he didn’t get enough time to lose the extra weight he had put on for Guru. The schedule of Dhoom 3 will start later this year so he has enough time to ensure he becomes fit for all the action in the thriller.”
To help Bachchan reach his fittest best, the trainer has banned him from eating junk food and sweets. Instead, Bachchan has been put on a minimal-carbohydrates and high-protein diet, which includes a healthy portion of salads and shakes. To lose the unwanted pounds and also maintain his fitness levels, he starts training early morning, before reporting to the sets of Players.
Since he does not want a muscled look, the actor only does minimal weight training. “The idea is to get Abhishek to look as lean as Hollywood actors like Johnny Depp and Robert Pattinson. His fitness regimen includes a 10-kilometer run in the outdoors, followed by spinning and cycling. Unlike extensive weight training and abs exercises, this training regimen will not only control weight but also help him stay fit in the long run,” explains the actor’s friend, adding that Bachchan also has a long swim regularly at the hotel where he’s put up.
When asked about working out with an international trainer for Dhoom 3, the actor remained non-committal. “It’s too early to talk about it as I’ve been shooting for Players in New Zealand for about a month. People at Yash Raj will be the best to contact for this.”
However, on being probed about his new fitness regime, Bachchan says, “As an actor, it’s not only important for me to play the part to the best of my abilities but also look as convincing as I possibly can. For that, it’s important to start preparing in good time.
Sometimes we have to put on weight and sometimes we have to lose weight for the roles we play. If a director wants me to train in a particular way, I must comply with how he wants my character to look and behave.”

Ali Zafar to paint Katrina ?
The fact that Ali Zafar is a multi-talented actor is no secret. Apart from acting, Ali loves to sing and paint. He has numerous albums in his name and is busy promoting his current one - JHOOM.
Currently, riding high on his last success; TERE BIN LADEN, Ali is on signing spree in B-Town. The latest is that he may be part of Yash Raj's DHOOM 3 too. Ali is currently busy with Yash Raj Films' MERE BROTHER KI DULHAN with Imran and Katrina Kaif in the lead.
Now a source reveals that Ali Zafar is planning to showcase his painting side too and is thinking of casting Katrina on his canvass. Adds the source, "Ali Zafar is an artist to the core. Be it acting, singing or painting. So, recently someone suggested Ali to paint Katrina, the actor spotted a smile in agreement and might actually go ahead to do it. But, no one knows how soon will that be."
For the moment the actor in Ali has taken the lead. Let's hope his painting side too is not a reality that gets sidelined for long.

Yash Raj Films to release first movie from youth banner on 6 May

While the first production is gearing up for release in May, the second film under the Y Films has also gone on floors. According to information available with Businessofcinema.com, this film is being directed by Nupur Asthana, who had earlier directed the comedy drama - Mahi Way - for Yash Raj Television.
A source close to the development tells Businessofcinema.com, "Bumpy and Nupur are the two directors who are directing films for Y Films. While Bumpy's film went on floor first, Nupur's film has just begun shooting."
The cast of both the films are as yet not known.

Aamir Khan to sing in Dhoom 3
Composer Pritam Chakraborty has set aside all his assignments from June to fully focus on the music of Dhoom 3 which will have a theme song for Aamir Khan that the actor will sing. The last time Aamir sang was the chartbuster Aati Kya khandala for Jatin-Lalit in Ghulam.
The over-committed music composer with a hit record for the last three years has been asked to concentrate only on the music of Dhoom 3 from June onwards by producer Aditya Chopra. He would have to complete all his pending assignments and make himself completely free for the YRF film.
Signature tune, please!
Last week Pritam had a closed-door meeting with Aditya Chopra at the Yashraj office where the soft-spoken producer stressed on creating a new sound for Dhoom 3 including a signature tune for Aamir's character. Adi has asked Pritam to come up with a song that would make the audience sit up and jump out of their seats every time Aamir strides across the screen.
Pritam confirms, "I've said no to several new assignments including Double Dhamaal. This is the first time in my entire career that I'd be working with Aamir Khan. We all know how special that makes this project." The biggest challenge is a theme song for AK's villainous character.
Upping the ante
Says Pritam, "The title song and music are of course integral to the music in Dhoom. But I have to go beyond that. There will be a quality of sound in Dhoom 3 that will make Dhoom and D:2 recede from the audiences' mind."
Pritam has already started working on the tunes. Apparently, Aamir will be sitting in for the rehearsals and recordings of the songs and would be singing a track for the film. Laughs Pritam, "Why not? Aamir sang beautifully in Ghulam.
The Aati Kya Khandala number is popular to this day. Let's also remember that the Dhoom 3 director Victor (Vijay Krishna Acharya) has a terrific music sense. Look at the songs he got from Vishal-Shekhar in Tashan!"
Pritam has been told that just banking on the successful Dhoom Machale track won't do in Dhoom 3.

Katrina is fun on the sets: Ali Zafar
He entered Bollywood with the small budget, quirky Tere Bin Laden, but Pakistani singer-actor Ali Zafar will be seen next with Katrina Kaif and Imran Khan in a typical romantic comedy. He will also focus on his first love - music.
"The film is a romantic comedy, a very family kind of set-up. Imran and me play brothers. I'm a very charming and flamboyant guy in the film who is very confused about what he wants from life," Ali Zafar told in an interview.
And he is all praise for co-star Katrina Kaif, one of the reigning divas in Bollywood.
"It was a very good experience working with Katrina. She is a very hardworking person and was extremely cooperative and fun on the sets," he said.
Mere Brother Ki Dulhan is a Yash Raj Films' production and is being directed by debutant Ali Abbas Zafar. Tere Bin Laden was also director Abhishek Sharma's first film. So why is Ali Zafar signing up with newcomers?
"One hardly comes across good scripts. I have heard about 50 scripts since Tere Bin Laden. Then finally I liked Mere Brother.... Recently I have signed another film but I can't talk about that. The makers will make an announcement soon," he revealed.
Ali, who has worked as a model for several commercials in Pakistan, has also acted in Pakistani TV serials "Lunda-Bazar", "Kanch Ke Par" and teenage sitcom "Kollege Jeans".
Films apart, Ali is also focussing on music, his first love. The musician's new album "Jhoom" was recently released by Yash Raj Music in India and worldwide and by Ali's own label Alif Records in Pakistan.
"This time I have tried to make timeless music rather than something that is interesting only for a week or so. I made what my heart liked and not what I felt would be popular in the market," said Ali, who has earlier released two albums titled "Huqa Pani" and "Masty".
"As far as inspirations are concerned, I was just thinking that the music that is created today, the soul is missing, secondly it doesn't touch a chord and thirdly it has no shelf life. So I wanted the music that I compose has all of the above."
"Initially I was driven by the commercial aspect of music; now it's driven more by the spiritual aspect," he added.
"Jhoom", which has 12 tracks, took the musician three years to complete.
Even though the market for non-film albums is not booming at the moment, Ali is unfazed by the trend and says he will keep trying and hope for greener pastures.
"I'm a singer, my job is to keep creating music, I can't get bogged down by the market scenario or commerce of it. I could have been if I was looking for money, but I'm not looking for money from this album.
"I'm looking to earning respect from this album. Nowadays I know releasing a non-film album is not very favourable, I wish it was. Music channels are not playing the songs, but I think it's our responsibility as artists that we don't stop doing something we believe in. I feel if you are sincere towards your music it just finds it's way into people's hearts," said Ali.

Salman and Katrina back together
This time, they will come together for a Yash Raj film, to be directed by Kabir Khan
PS: Katrina Kaif has also given the nod to a YRF film with SRK, to be directed by Yash Chopra
According to highly places sources, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif will be seen together in a film directed by Kabir Khan, for Yash Raj Films.
She has been signed for two films for the banner. The second one stars Shah Rukh Khan, and will be directed by Yash Chopra.
Says a source, "The film with Shah Rukh will be a romantic one and will go on floor by the end of this year. The SalKat starrer is an action-thriller-romance."
While the SRK-Kat pair is interesting because they've never been paired together in a film, the SalKat jodi is exciting, given their personal history, and their hit films together .
The estranged lovers were last seen together in Tees Maar Khan, in the Walla Walla song.
Salman has stayed away from the YRF banner after the Chak De! controversy.
The film was first offered to him, but the Chopras refused him the price he demanded because they've always paid actors less than their market price, because they are a "prestigious banner."
But that has changed in the last few years, and they have started paying top dollar to the A-List actors.
The banners strategy to work with newcomers didn't really pay off (Lafangey Parindey, Badmaash Company, Rocket Singh Salesman Of The Year), so they are back to wooing big stars.
Aamir Khan being signed for Dhoom 3 is yet another indication of that. He has been paid megabucks. Even Salman is getting his asking price this time.
A source close to Katrina confirms, "She's in talks with Kabir for the project. It's a performance oriented role in the league of New York."
A spokesperson from YRF says, "No cast has been locked for either Yashji or Kabir's film. We would request you to wait for our announcement."

Aditya's teenage fixation!
Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Freida Pinto are reportedly waiting for their phone to ring.
They are said to be desperate to bag the female lead opposite Aamir Khan in Aditya Chopra's Dhoom 3. But will they? The Yashraj spokesperson told a trade paper, "We are still in conversation with various artistes. No actor has been locked yet."
Trade sources indicate that there is a certain truth in this statement because according to the grapevine, Adi is very keen to have an 18 to 20 year-old play the role of Aamir's moll. Adi and Aamir have been in talks about how a fresh face with a striking body would ideally fit the bill for the role essayed by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Dhoom 2. A B-town insider, who bumped into Dhoom 3 director Vijay Krishna Acharya or Victor as his friends call him, apparently heard from him that a teenager is being considered. Our source says, "Adi feels that someone very young and fresh with no inhibitions about kissing and wearing skimpy clothes may actually be the ideal candidate."
Remember how Ash reportedly had the Bachchans in a flux when they saw her skimpy wardrobe in Dhoom-2.

'Freida to star in Dhoom 3'
While the grapevine is buzzing with gossip if Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra or Katrina Kaif will land the role opposite Aamir Khan in Aditya Chopra's Dhoom:3, we have heard another gossip, which if it comes true, will certainly see a new sensational pairing.
Industry is abuzz with rumours that Adi is looking to approach Freida Pinto for the film. It will be interesting to see if Freida, who has still not been seduced to do a Bollywood movie by any of our makers, would see her big debut come opposite Aamir. A top source reveals, "There is a possibilty that Freida might debut in Bollywood with Dhoom:3.
What we hear is that Adi is quite keen to approach her for the role. As of now the actresses haven't been finalised and so the casting process is only gaining momentum. It is a known fact the Freida was very much on the radar for the Bond film and since Dhoom too has become a franchise now, they might as well root to have as many headline makers as possible.
Plus, Freida and Aamir will be an interesting fresh pairing. As of now we will only have to wait and watch how this snowballs." Freida could not be contacted for a comment and the spokesperson from Aditya's production house rubbished the news and added that the casting the girls for the film has not yet begun.

YRF's TV show similar to Trishul?
Yashraj's first daily soap has male protagonists and sounds suspiciously similar to Yash Chopra's film Trishul.
Born on 15th of August, Aditya Merchant and Kabir Khan mark the return of male protagonists on Indian Television in Kismat – an epic saga. Produced by YRF Television and presented by Sony Entertainment Television, Kismat is a story of enmity between two powerful characters, spanning over 60 years in the post independence era. Continuing the tradition of larger than life stories and bringing back the romance of grand storytelling, the show is shot with impeccable Yashraj standards and redefines the benchmarks of fiction shows of tomorrow.
The show revolves around the two central characters - Aditya Merchant and Kabir Khan. Aditya Merchant is the heir to a rich industrialist family born with a silver spoon. He has access to all the privileges and was taught early in life that winning is all that matters, at any cost, and being a true Merchant, Aditya has made winning his habit in everything he does. While Kabir Khan, though born to Muslim parents is adopted by a Hindu family, is fated for a life full of struggles. Kabir has to face adversities early in life which mould him to become an aggressive go getter who stops at nothing and nobody. Kabir's sole agenda is to get rich and be powerful. But KISMAT rules that both Aditya and Kabir's paths must cross & change their lives forever.
The plot sounds suspiciously similar to Yash Chopra's 1975 superhit film Trishul where Shashi Kapoor played the rich industrialist character and Amitabh Bachchan played the less-privileged opponent. However the production house has made no such claim.
Ravina Kohli, Vice President and Creative Head of YRF Television said, "Kismat is an epic set across a period of 60 years beginning at the stroke of the midnight hour when India got her independence. It is a story of ambition, greed, friendship, betrayal, loyalty, family values, love, romance and a lot more. We are venturing into Daily soap territory for the first time with the strong backing of our partners Sony Entertainment Television and we hope Kismat will resonate with a wide audience cutting across age and gender because of its universal appeal."
Speaking about the launch, Mr. Ajit Thakur, EVP and Business Head of Sony Entertainment Television commented "Kismat, the second show from YRF after Khotey Sikkey this year, is a powerful emotional epic saga set on a grand scale; two powerful characters with their own points of view juxtaposed against each other will bring out all the elements of drama and compelling storytelling, just the qualities YRF is known for."

Aamir is the villain in Dhoom:3
It's official! TOI has learnt from the horses mouth that Aamir Khan will be the villain in Dhoom:3.
