SRK's new YRF film with Katrina on floors today
(NDTVMovies.Com)
On Friday, Shah Rukh Khan said he felt happy to start work with veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra. He was referring to the new film from Yash Raj Films which pairs him opposite Katrina Kaif for the first time.
The film will go on the floors today.
"Feel extremely happy when I start work with yashji...from the inside. Easy...smiles...happiness...purity of storytelling," SRK posted on Twitter on Friday.
Yesterday, Uday Chopra, Yash Chopra's son who often assists on his movies, confirmed the launch of the film. "Launching my dad's film today with a little pooja at YRF... shoot starts tomorrow with @ iamsrk and Katrina Kaif.. Dad directing after Veer- Zaara (sic)," Uday tweeted.
Yash Chopra returns to direction after seven years - after the cross-border love story Veer Zaara in 2004, with Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta. No title has been decided as yet for the new film.
The film also stars Anushka Sharma, a Yash Raj favourite who made her debut with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in 2008 opposite SRK.
The music of the new film will be composed by A R Rahman and Gulzar will pen the lyrics.
SRK's earlier films with Yash Raj include blockbusters like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Dil to Pagal Hai and Mohabattein. It remains to be seen what Katrina can add to the SRK-Yash Raj hit formula.
The film is scheduled to release on Diwali 2012.
Is Ricky Bahl under pressure?
(Deccan Chronicle )
In the film, it’s Ricky Bahl who troubles the ladies, but in real life, Ranveer Singh seems to be in trouble himself. The promos of his film Ladies vs Ricky Bahl have just gone on air and the Yash Raj project is set to release on December 8. In fact the unit had already begun preparing for the promotional tours but all plans went haywire when some top YRF officials saw the film.
Buzz is that Yash Chopra himself isn’t too pleased with certain romantic scenes featuring Ranveer and Anushka Sharma. “Yash ji is a stickler for perfection and he has asked his team to re-shoot some portions of the film shot in Goa. A last minute meeting was held at the studios and Aditya Chopra has been asked to look into the changes. He is a filmmaker with a vision, his suggestions can never be ignored,” says a source.
However, that’s easier said than done. Ranveer had to cancel his Delhi tour to promote the film and prepare for the role all over again. “He’s flying to Goa tomorrow. We are way behind schedule; now the promotional activities around the film will only commence after November 22,” says Ranveer’s spokesperson. Looks like the team could do with some superpowers to put things back in place now.

Ranveer-Anushka to reshoot scenes as chemistry is lost!
(Dailybhaskar.com)
The grapevine has it that Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma’s ‘Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl’ may not be released on its sceheduled date of release, December 9 as announced by Yash Raj Films.
Shooting is still underway and there’s some re-shooting on the cards. Sources close to Yash Raj Films tell us that the unit is under considerable stress to meet the deadline and will be leaving for Goa for a four-day shoot. They will also be travelling to Lucknow.
It seems Aditya Chopra was not happy with some scenes, which need to be re-shot in Goa and Lucknow. Hopefully, this time round, director Maneesh Sharma will meet Chopra’s expectations. And, hopefully, the film will release as planned.
‘Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl’ is a fun-filled rom-con, where a smooth and charming conman, Ricky Bahl, cons girls for a living but finally meets his match.

Anushka Sharma, Boney Kapoor's son in YRF next
Ranveer Singh admitted on a recent television chat show that he missed Anushka Sharma 'a lot'. And also, that they have now 'drifted apart'.
With Anushka moving towards Boney and Mona Kapoor's son Arjun, the drift was inevitable. In fact, after Mumbai Mirror reported on August 26, how Arjun and Anushka were caught in a city multiplex enjoying each other's company, the young couple have been spotted painting the town red time and again.
Now, Yash Raj Films has decided to cash in on their off-screen chemistry. The production house has decided to launch a film with Arjun and Anushka in the lead roles to be directed by Do Dooni Chaar director Habib Faisal.

Yash Chopra - 50 years and counting... The eternal romantic teams up with the king of romance once again
As already announced, Yash Chopra's next directorial venture stars the king of romance, Shahrukh Khan. As Yashji put it earlier, "Everyone knows that when I make a movie, Shahrukh will be involved with it. He is like family to YRF and I have always regarded him as one of my own."
However, after days of media conjecturing, we are happy to confirm that the two ladies, who will also be a part of this project, are Katrina Kaif, who will be playing a role opposite Shahrukh for the very first time, and Anushka Sharma, who was launched in "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi", alongside Shahrukh.
Orchestrated by Yash Chopra, this untitled movie will mark the coming together yet again of the award winning duo of the music maestro A. R. Rahman and the poet & lyricist, Gulzar.
When we spoke with him, he shared some of his thoughts with us.
"It's been 7 years since I directed Veer-Zaara and as I begin work on my new film I hear my inner voice asking me a lot of questions. Are you sure you want to direct again, you are nearly 80 years old and the audience is getting younger day by day. Can I really speak from my heart and still expect today's youth to listen to me? Will I be able to live up to the blind faith that Shahrukh Khan has in me and give him yet another memorable romantic film? Will I be able to present the beautiful Katrina Kaif and the very talented Anushka Sharma in a way they have never been seen before? Will I be able to inspire Rahman and Gulzar Bhai enough to create their best work yet?
The honest answer is... I DON'T KNOW! All I know is that I'm making a film that I believe in, a film that is about love and nothing else. A film which has an old soul but a young heart. A film which is classic in its look but contemporary in its language. A film which I'm making on one simple faith... the love that my audiences have given to me over the years. They have tolerated my indulgences for the past 50 years, I'm sure they will indulge me one more time."
The film is scheduled for a Diwali 2012 release, the festive time when Yash Chopra movies over the years have lit up homes worldwide.
Yashji, it's nice to have you back in the Director's Chair!

Anushka to play second fiddle to Katrina
The actress's youth and her connections with YRF land her a role in Yash's untitled project with Katrina Kaif and Shah Rukh Khan.
It might appear that she is second fiddle to Katrina Kaif, but Anushka Sharma knows what's good for her.
The rapport that the young actress shares with YRF have made her an obvious choice for directors Yash and Aditya Chopra's much-talked about untitled project. Sharma will now join Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif, in Yash's directorial project since Veer Zaara, in 2004.
Our source explained, "The script requires a strong actor for the second lead in the film. Yash and Aditya were scouting around and then thought that Anushka seemed to be an obvious choice, for more than one reason.
The role required an actress, who looks younger than Katrina Kaif. And few actresses fit that requirement. Anushka was just the right choice. Plus, Yash Chopra is really fond of her."
If all goes as planned, this film will mark Anushka's fifth time working with YRF. Also, she is the only actress to work with both Yash and Aditya Chopra at the same time, unlike Kajol, Rani Mukerji, Aishwarya Rai and Preity Zinta, who have only worked with one of the two directors.
Despite repeated attempts, YRF remained unavailable for comment.

Wedding woes for Anushka Sharma
Actress Anushka Sharma is just two films old and at a time when most actors are vying to reach the top spot, the leggy lass seems unfazed by the competition. Anushka says that she is in no hurry to sign films and is happy with the kind of work coming her way.
“I am not bound by any contract and I am quite satisfied with the kind of films that are being offered to me. To start with a banner like Yash Raj Films is like being born with a silver spoon,” she says.
Her upcoming film sees her play a wedding planner but in real life the actor has not even given shaadi a thought. “At this point in my career, tying the knot is not on my list of priorities at all. In fact, I haven’t even given it a thought as yet.” Though marriage seems like a distant possibility, she does believe in the institution. “At the end of the day I am like every other girl who wants to get married but only when the time is right.”
Ask her what are the qualities she would look for in a guy, and she
is quick to retort, “I can’t say things like good eyes, tall, dark and handsome. I just hope that my Mr Right will like me and respect me for the person I am.” More than anything Anushka hopes that her man will support her and understand the pressures of her profession.
Anushka enjoyed playing a wedding planner her new film and the best part she says was getting together and having fun. “ The energy of a marriage house with people buzzing around constantly was electrifying.”
Add to that her co-star Ranveer Singh. Ranveer and she bonded really well and their friendship and camaraderie extended beyond the sets as well. “Ranveer is a great co-star. We became great friends and maybe that is the reason why people who spotted us together mistook us to be dating. It’s quite funny actually to read about my various link-ups each day in the papers,” she ends reacting to rumours about her and actor Shahid Kapoor in the past.

Anushka: Ranveer is the perfect fit for BAND BAAJA BAARAAT
Anushka Sharma has worked with Shah Rukh Khan (RAB NE BANA DI JODI), Shahid Kapoor (BADMAASH COMPANY) and Akshay Kumar (in soon to be released PATIALA HOUSE) in quick succession. While all three men are established actors, it is for the first time that she is working with an absolute newcomer in the form of Ranveer Singh in BAND BAAJA BAARAAT.
Though any leading lady can be expected to be a little apprehensive about the prospects of working with a newcomer male lead, Anushka wasn't overtly bothered because she trusted her producer and mentor Aditya Chopra to have made the right choice.
"Adi (Aditya Chopra) and director Maneesh (Sharma) spent quite some time in getting the right face for the film. BAND BAAJA BAARAAT required a boy who could make the character of Bittoo Sharma believable. He had to not just look real but also be a very strong actor. When Ranveer was chosen for the role and I was informed about it, I knew that he would be the perfect fit. After all I trust Adi way too much on such matters", says Anushka.
However, Anushka made sure that she didn't get worked out by thinking about such matters during the making of the film and now its promotion.
"Really, I don't have in-depth knowledge about such things", confesses Anushka, "I am not well versed about the business aspects of film making. All I know is how to act and choose the best amongst the scripts that come to me. I know for sure that people want to see good films which come with a fresh subject."
BAND BAAJA BAARAAT releases all over on 10th December.

Actors Anushka & Ranveer get into a scuffle with flight co-passenger
Actors Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh, who will soon be seen in Yash Raj Films' Band Baaja Baraat, got into a scuffle with their co-passenger during a Mumbai-Delhi flight.
The two actors were travelling by the Kingfisher flight IT-331 from Mumbai to Delhi, to promote their film.
Sharma and Singh had an altercation with a man who was clicking pictures of the two on the flight. When they requested him not to do so, the man got into an argument with them. According to sources, the man was a former cadre IAS officer. When matters got worse, the police had to be called to settle it.
However, speaking to Businessofcinema.com, Yash Raj Films spokesperson Rafique Gangjee said, “The matter has now been sorted out amicably and no complaints have been lodged.”

I am not trying to sell any image: Anushka Sharma
She made heads turn with her chirpy girl-next door image in 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' and later set the screen on fire with her glam avatar in 'Badmaash Company' but Anushka Sharma is totally unperturbed by her transformation from a demure to oomph image."I do a film when I like a character or a script. As an actor I would not confine myself to limited roles and become a monopolist. I am not trying to sell any image", said Anushka.
"I want to do roles which I and other girls can relate to," said Anuoshka, who was in Delhi with her co-star Ranveer and film director Maneesh Sharma to promote the upcoming Yash Raj film 'Band Baaja Baarat'.
The model-turned actress tunneled into Bollywood through Yash Raj films and since then destiny has been favouring her.
With all her three films being produced and directed under the banner, ask the pretty damsel where she stands minus Yash Raj and she quips in, "Well I am a very honest actor. I do roles because they excite me. I don't make a biased judgement based on a banner. Before signing 'Baand Baaja Baarat', I ventured to act in the film 'Patiala House'outside Yash Raj banner."

We don't kiss for the heck of it: Anushka
After playing a simple girl-next-door, Anushka Sharma has gone in for an image makeover in Badmaash Company where she not only wears stylish clothes but also has a kissing scene with Shahid Kapoor. The model-turned-actress says the script demanded it and it wasn't meant just to attract attention.
"I don't see it as a kissing scene. It's a part of the screenplay. I think cinema is changing and we are not doing (kissing) for the heck of it. We do not need to do this (kiss on screen) to attract attention," Anushka told IANS in an interview.
"When you see the film, the kind of chemistry Bulbul (her character in the film) and Karan (Shahid) share, the kind of love that's there between them, you will be able to understand that the scene was justified," said Anushka, who made her debut as a small town girl in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi opposite Shah Rukh Khan.
The 22-year-old claims the audiences will be able to relate to the characters in the film as all of them represent the middle-class dreams.
"This film is about four friends, their relationships and the trials they go through to achieve their goals. All the characters are extremely relatable because they come from middle-class families with big dreams and aspirations. We have all been like that. Their dreams are really big. They have not got any patience...They want to do it right away," she said.
Set in Mumbai of the 1990s, Badmaash Company is about four youngsters who start a business and find a way to beat the system.
Anushka's gang in the film comprises Shahid, Vir Das and Miang Chang. And she says they gelled well.
"When we travelled outdoors, we got to spend time with each other...We hung out, ate out, went to the pub. Good that we got along very well because it was a pre-requisite of the film," said Anushka.
Badmaash Company is actor-turned-director Parmeet Sethi's first outing as director. Anushka says Parmeet knew the characters inside out, but was still open to others' ideas.
Anushka enjoys not being a trained actor because it allows her to visualise scenes naturally.
"I quite enjoy the fact that I'm not a trained actor...If you are experienced, you have a certain method of acting, but I haven't discovered that method yet. There is a positive side of not being a trained actor. When I get a scene, I see how naturally it should be done. People call it natural acting and that is also a method," she said.
Asked if she wants to explore any particular genre, she said: "No, I am not looking forward to any particular genre. I'm open to doing films of every genre and with different directors. There are so many things that I would love to do - a period love story or an action film."
But Anushka finds acting a difficult profession and says her hectic schedule leaves her with little time for her friends.
"I never wanted to be an actor. I wanted to remain a model. Had I wanted to be an actor I would have been more observant about actors. After Rab Ne... I realised that it's a very difficult profession. You don't have time for your personal life, for your parents, and your social circuit becomes very small because you are working day and night," she said.

Anushka`s new love
She was rumored to be seeing her Badmaash Company co-star Shahid Kapoor, but even before the film could release, it’s all in the distant past for Anushka Sharma.
She’s now painting the town red with newcomer Ranveer Singh, who is her co-star in Yash Raj’s next, Shaadi Mubarak Ho, directed by debutant Maneesh Sharma.
Anushka and Ranveer spotted together on Saturday night at a suburban café. Dressed casually in tracks and a tee, Ranveer was having dinner while watching a live cricket match.
A source from the unit reveals, “Both the youngsters, Anushka and Ranveer, hit it off immediately when they met each other on the sets.
The chemistry was clearly evident but most people didn’t pay it much attention then. But as shooting progressed, Ranvir and Anushka started spending more and more time together.”
The source continues, “Now they are bonding even off sets. They have been catching up for private dinners and outings, even though Ranveer has been given strict instructions by Yash Raj to lie low and not make any public appearance.
They normally keep the meetings very discreet. Ranveer is a very ambitious guy and keeps discussing movies and his career with Anushka. He is very fond of her.”
However, Anushka’s official spokesperson says, “There is no element of truth in this at all.” However, our source maintains that Anushka and Ranveer are very much a couple at the moment.
