Everybody knows that Rani Mukherjee plays a Sardar in her upcoming release Dil Bole Hadippa but very few will know her special connection with a real Sardar in Indian Cricketer Harbhajan Singh. No, they are not having affair. It's just that Rani copied Harbhajan in the film .
Well, Rani Mukherjee sent the photo of Harbhajan to her make-up man who is from London . She sent his photo, as he didn't know how exactly a Sardar looks. Consequently, Rani's look in Dil Bole Hadippa was greatly influenced by the photo she sent.
And Rani revealed that she had told Harbhajan about the story of his photo. The ace Indian cricketer is fine about it all for the simple reason that it's Rani who has copied him.
Rani acts with Shahid Kapoor in her upcoming release Dil Bole Hadippa, produced by Aditya Chopra [^] under the banner of Yash Raj Films and directed by Anurag Singh. It is all set for release this Friday, 18th September.

Catch every rumor spreading around Yash Raj Films (YRF) - India’s biggest entertainment house.
Dil Bole Hadippa turns a new logo
Yashraj Films have come up with a new logo for their biggest release of this year. Film Dil Bole Hadippa has got a new identity with a brand new logo.
The ace production company was recently in news, all for the wrong reason. They had to face strong disapproval by the Sikh community. The community had expressed their displeasure over the use of a patka sign in the place of a dot on letter ‘I’ in ‘Hadippa’.
In the film Rani aspires to play cricket with Dhoni and Tendulkar in the team. So as to become a part of men’s cricket team she dons turban and beard and poses as Sardar. A film that celebrates the never-say-die spirit of India cannot afford to hurt any of its pillars, and thus Yashraj decided to change the logo and neutralize any controversy.

Rani is leaving YRF ?
Rani is leaving Aditya Chopra
Rani Mukherjee and Yash Raj Films was a hit combination once upon a time. But with the recent failures like Tara Rum Pum, Laga Chunri Mein Daag, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, Rani is no longer treated as the lead actress of Yash Raj camp. She was attached to Yash Raj banner for the challenging role that was offered to her, for delivering successive hits and more or less for Yash Raj head hancho Aditya Chopra with whom Rani is rumored to be romantically linked up. Now Rani has decided to bid goodbye to the camp.
A close source informs, “Rani is ready to do films for other banners too. In fact, she is said to be reading scripts by other banners.” The only reason behind her move is poor script. Rani believes that Yash Raj banners scripts are not challenging and interesting like before but at the same time she assures that she will return back if she finds any role challenging.
Moreover, Rani is trying her level best to revive her lost status with ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’ which is a Yash Raj film opposite Shahid Kapur. She has toned her body and lost weight to suit the role.

Shazahn Padamsee debuts in Rocket Singh - Salesman of the Year
Shazahn Padamsee will be rocketing to success opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Rocket Singh – Salesman of the Year, brought to you by the team behind Chak De India. Shazahn is making her debut in the film, playing Ranbir’s love interest, and is the daughter of theatre impresario Alyque Padamsee and singer Sharon Prabhakar.It's not been as easy as some people might think, however, as competition for places in the industry is overwhelming. "I have met people who think that I have had it easy," she says, "It frustrates me when people think like that because frankly I have worked my way to reach where I am. I have gone through my share of struggle. I have gone for a lot of auditions and have just been treated like everybody else. I got rejected a lot of times and at times, things didn't work out for whatever reasons."
Shazahn has been busy learning Hindi and honing her skills for her debut in the movie. "I have two teachers each for my Hindi classes and my dance classes," she explains, "I have acted and produced in a play, Unspoken Dialogues. I have also done a couple of commercials, the latest one being a jewellery brand."
Shazahn loves children and likes to spend time with them at the exclusive Breach Candy Club. "They put a permanent smile on her face," says a friend, "Shazahn feels that little children are the most honest and innocent. One day, one of the kids even recognized Shazahn saying that he had seen her in Ponds and 7 up ads. Shazahn just brushed off his praises. The kid then challenged her to a race in swimming which she had to let him win."

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.

Yash Raj Films denies signing Salman Khan
Bollywood’s prestigious banner Yash Raj Films has denied reports that it has signed Salman Khan for a movie, saying they are “completely baseless”.
It was reported that writer-turned-director Vijay Krishna Acharya, whose directorial debut “Tashan” was produced by the banner, is directing his second film for Yash Raj Films and that Salman would star in it.
“We would like to clarify that this is a completely baseless and incorrect story. Vijay is still in the process of writing his next script for Yash Raj Films. No casting has therefore been done nor has anyone been considered for the same,” stated the banner.
“As and when we do finalise the script and the casting is complete, a suitable announcement will be made,” it added.
Salman, who has worked with almost all the filmmakers in the industry, is yet to be seen in a Yash Raj Films production.

Kabir Khan ready with his next script after New York with similar subject
New York is still running at a theatre near you but director Kabir Khan is already thinking about his next big project.
Talking about his next project Kabir says, "I have two script ideas ready with me. Both the ideas are completely different from each other."
Same feel
When asked if the projects will revolve around the subject of terror, like his precious films Kabul Express and New York, Khan says, "Well, yes, one of the stories has the same feel as my previous films. I think it will be difficult for me to stray away and attempt something totally different. My films will always have a backdrop against which the characters will be set."
When asked if he will ever attempt a romantic comedy? "Well the other script just might be a rom-com. As I said both the scripts have solid setting and background which I think has become a trademark of my films." Will we see John Abraham in his third film as well?
He says,"Why not? If the script demands a character like John then I definitely will work with him. But just because I have worked with him in my previous film doesn't mean that I will repeat him again. Yash Raj gives me such a wonderful choice of actors to work with. So I don't really have issues with casting. Once Adi and I lock the script I will decide my cast."
The director is leaving for Malaysia on a five-day short vacation to join wife Mini Mathur who is stationed there for a TV show, "Once I get back, I will meet Adi and finalise which of the two scripts I can begin." This will be the director's first break after the release of New York.

There have been several rumours about the show that YRF is making for a popular entertainment channel. However, contrary to reports, these prominent film stars will only be making special appearances,” said the source.

Yash Raj breaks promise to Bhansali
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is fuming on seeing the first look of YRF’s Dil Bole Hadippa!.
Despite being assured by YRF that they won’t use Hadippa in their title, they haven’t lived up to their promise given to Bhansali.
A spokesperson from SLB Productions said, “Hadippa is the title of Bhansali’s sister Bela Sehgal’s first directorial venture. Bhansali turned down Aditya Chopra’s request to let him use the title. If it was his own he’d have considered Aditya’s request but as this is his sister’s first film, Bhansali won’t allow her title to be taken away even if it means taking legal action.”
“How could they add two words to Hadippa and claim the title to be their own? Would they have liked it if someone made Ek Baar Rab Ne Phir Bana Di Jodi or Pataa Nahin Kyun Laaga Chunari Mein Daag?”
Lead actress of Dil Bole Hadippa!, Rani Mukerji, who is close to both the production houses, tried but failed to arrange a meeting between the two filmmakers to solve matters.
“What’s there to discuss? What YRF has done is unethical. We at SLB Productions see it as creative vandalism. We’ve written proof that YRF had assured us they won’t use the word Hadippa. If the need arises, we’ll use that evidence against them,” the spokesperson added.
Commenting on the issue, an annoyed Bhansali said, “If they were so sold on a Punjabi title, since their film is about cricket, they could’ve called it Balle Balle.”
