Of course, I want to marry Saif: Kareena


They are touted as the Brangelina of Bollywood and popularly known as Saifeena. Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are the hottest couple in tinsel town. Stylish, glamorous, classy and beautiful, the two are just so perfect for each other.

And now Bebo is keen to take their relationship into another level. In an interview with a leading national daily, an excited Kareena said she wants to marry her beau Saif.

When asked if she wants to marry Saif Ali Khan, she replied, "Of course, I do. Doesn't every woman want to take her relationship to the next level? Saif and I are definitely going to marry. We just don't want to talk about it right now. It'll take away the focus from the good work we are doing currently."

How will they be as a married couple? Read on to find out what Astroyogi predicts!

Kareena is a Virgo and her date of birth is 21st September 1980 while Saif, born on 16th August 1970, is a Leo. Magnanimous Leo will overlook Virgo's tendency to be critical, while Virgo will take pride in Leo's accomplishments, good humour and loveable nature. Leo will respect Virgo's clever and alert mentality. If Virgo permits Leo to hog the limelight and refrain from being too critical of Leo's desire to hold the central place in the family circle, they should have no real barriers to a happy and successful partnership.

However, the leonine penchant for always having the last word, of always being proved right may irk the ultra-critical Virgo. As the virgin is extremely selfless and considerate by nature, her personality may clash with the thoughtlessness and insensitivity of the Leo male. In a marriage, it is best when Leo leads and Virgo follows and the differences can be bridged. But meanwhile, he is grateful to her for her tranquil presence and practical nature. She in turn likes his unshakeable optimism and his confidence. There is a very good chance of their marriage working out.

This guy will fight John in Force

 
Model-turned-actor and martial arts expert, Vidyut Jamwal will play the villain in ‘Force’

Model turned actor, Vidyut Jamwal was cast to play the villain in ‘Force’ and in bagging the role, he managed to beat about 500 actors who auditioned for the role. As per the script of the film, the villain’s character was a crucial one and required to be as physically strong as the hero. So it was a difficult task for the makers to search for a villain to match up with John Abraham, who plays the lead in the film.

Vidyut is a trained martial arts fighter and has excelled in a fight form called Kalari and has also trained gymnast. He will be seen doing some spectacular stunts in the film along with John Abraham. John who has himself performed astonishing stunts in the film, including lifting a bike, will have a cool competitor in Vidyut.

Vidyut has gone through strenuous training to build a body that could be comparable to John’s. Much to everyone’s surprise, his training has paid off big time as his body has been crafted well and he does seem more muscular than John. Although the debutant has chosen to play the bad boy in his very first film, let’s see if this image sticks or if he gets a chance to explore different shades in the future.

They have decied to launch the second part to Fashion in 2012,” a source told Mumbai Mirror.

We wonder, who’ll be Madhur’s new muse.

Amitabh Bachchan in Hollywood Movie The Great Gatsby



Can it get any bigger than this? Ok, let’s put it this way – Can it get any ‘GREATER’ than this? What you are about to read below is unquestionably the biggest and the greatest announcement coming out of our Indian Film Industry.

In what will go down as a defining moment in Indian cinema, the day we were patiently waiting for has arrived.

The Great Gatsby marks Amitabh Bachchan’s first ever main stream Hollywood movie to be directed by the Oscar nominee Buz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge). Mr. Bachchan plays Meyer Wolfsheim – a Jewish man Gatsby describes as a gambler who had fixed the World Series. Wolfsheim is a clear allusion to Arnold Rothstein, a New York crime kingpin who was notoriously blamed for the Black Sox Scandal which tainted the 1919 World Series.

The Principal photography began this week on Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Village Roadshow Pictures’ The Great Gatsby. The film is a new big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel from the uniquely imaginative mind of writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann. The filmmaker will create his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story, bringing the period to life in a way that has never been seen before. Leonardo DiCaprio stars in the title role.

The Great Gatsby follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.

Academy Award nominee DiCaprio (Blood Diamond, Aviator) plays Jay Gatsby, with Tobey Maguire starring as Nick Carraway; Joel Edgerton and Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan (An Education) as Tom and Daisy Buchanan; Isla Fisher and Jason Clarke as Myrtle and George Wilson; and newcomer Elizabeth Debicki as Jordan Baker. Indian film legend Amitabh Bachchan will play the role of Meyer Wolfsheim.

Oscar nominee Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge) directs the film in 3D from a screenplay co-written with frequent collaborator Craig Pearce, based on Fitzgerald’s book. Luhrmann produces, along with Catherine Martin, Catherine Knapman, Lucy Fisher and Academy Award winner Douglas Wick (Gladiator). The executive producers are Barrie M. Osborne and Bruce Berman.

Two-time Academy Award-winning production and costume designer Catherine Martin (Moulin Rouge) also designs with the director. The editors are Jason Ballantine, Matt Villa and Jonathan Redmond, and the director of photography is Simon Duggan.

Luhrmann said, “Fitzgerald loved the movies and was a passionate believer in the power of cinema. The Great Gatsby has been adapted for the screen no less than four times. Fitzgerald’s story defies time and geography. The vision and the goal of our remarkable cast and creatives is to do justice to the deftness of Fitzgerald’s telling, and illuminate its big ideas and humanity. This is our challenge and our adventure.”

The Great Gatsby is being shot in Luhrmann’s native Australia. The filmmaker stated, “The opportunity to make the film in Australia with the Bazmark creative team is very important to us; the assistance from Screen Australia and the NSW Government has made that possible.”

The film will be distributed in 3D and 2D by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures.

Health hassles of film stars

AMITABH BACHCHAN 1982 BOLLYWOOD literally came to halt when the Big B, while shooting an action scene in Manmohan Desai’s Coolie on July 26, was accidentally hit the wrong way by co-star Puneet Issar. The superstar suffered near-fatal intestinal injury and spent months in hospital. The stunt required the Big B to fall onto a table and then on the ground. The table corner struck his abdomen resulting in a splenic rupture. Coolie went onto become a blockbuster on release in 1983.

 

SALMAN KHAN 2011 ON Monday night, Salman left for the US to seek treatment for trigeminal neuralgia that causes acute pain in the jaw and face. The declaration of his illness came two days before the Eid release of Bodyguard. He has over Rs 250 crore riding on him with biggies such as Kabir Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger, Sher Khan and Kick. None of these films should however be delayed.  

 
RAJNIKANTH 2011 RANA, the new film starring Rajnikanth, had just gone on floors when the Tamil superstar collapsed on the set. He fell sick twice over past six months. Initially he was hospitalised in India. Later, it was learnt that he has a kidney-related problem. Rajni was flown to Singapore where he spent six weeks in hospital. The Rs 100-crore film has been rescheduled and Rajni may resume shooting in October. 

SAIF ALI KHAN 2007 SAIF was rushed to the hospital in February 2007 when he complained of unbearable chest pain after performing at an awards function. The actor reportedly had a minor heart attack and doctors cited stress and heavy smoking as reasons. He had also just split with his then girlfriend Rosa Catalano. Saif’s film Eklavya opened two days before the incident but flopped. Shooting of films such as Race and Tashan were affected.
