Bollywood Buzz: Bebo and bad words?

 
Kareena Kapoor and bad words

It seems slang and foul language suits well Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor. Filmmakers, audiences love watching Kareena mouthing some cuss words.
It all started with her award winning film CHAMELI, where she played a prostitute with bindass attitude and used some swear and cheeky words. However it was in the film JAB WE MET when she uttered 'Tere Maa Ki ...' while abusing her beau, audiences went berserk watching her. Followed with the film GOLMAAL 3.

And now in her upcoming film RA.ONE Kareena would be once again seen hurling abuses. However, this time around on none other than Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan. In the recently released promo of RA.ONE we can see Kareena frenziedly raining gaalis on Shahrukh, who plays her husband in the film. Bebo is heard yelling, "Tere baap ki...Tere tau ka poda...." She plays a bindaas Punjabi girl who doesn't worry about her lingo or what she is saying. However, her cute kid does remind her of the foul language every now and then.

Surprisingly whenever Kareena mouthed bad words it did wonders for the film and became a huge hit. Hope her abusive language do the same magic for RA.ONE too.
Rakhi Sawant: 'If lead actresses become 'item girls', make us heroines!'
 
 
Her braziness and frankspeak have catapulted Rakhi Sawant to a new peak. With her forthcoming release Loot, Rakhi is aiming to gain more saucy approval with her 'item number.'

"I will loot everyone, all my heroes who make an entry in the song, " chirps Rakhi. "I'm looting them in Loot, I've heard that in the entire film they loot people but when they come to enjoy my 'item number' they don't realise that they will lose everything because I'm going to loot them in the end."

The actress who thrives on controversy, is irked about lead heroines opting for 'item numbers' in their flicks. Blasts Rakhi, " I am very angry because I can't understand why these heroines are doing 'item songs'. They are heroine material. God has been kind to them, as he has given them a chance to be the main lead. Heroes are giving them a chance to become their heroines. Directors and producers are giving these girls a chance be a heroine and even the public is accepting them as heroines. So, I don't understand why they want to do 'item numbers'?

Adds Rakhi significantly, "I have a problem with these girls. They want to do the negative roles, they want to do 'item songs' and they also want to be the lead girl! If they are going to do 'item numbers' what are we going to do? And if they are itching to do 'item songs,' then we should be made heroines. It would definitely be better this way!"

Amitabh to brighten son's career with 'Angaar'
 

After a run of not-so successful flicks, it's now daddy dearest who has decided to take the command of Abhishek Bachchan's sinking career in his hand.

Reportedly, Amitabh Bachchan's AB Corp is trying to get the remake rights of the 1992 underworld drama Angaar. Though the film was not a run away success, Bachchan Sr. wants to cast Junior B in the remake as the original won critical acclaim for Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff and Dimple Kapadia. Amitabh thinks that the remake will work wonders for his son who won accolades for his performance in Sarkar and Sarkar Raj, both of which are in a genre similar to Angaar.

As the talks have merely kickstarted, details about the project are being kept under wraps.

Top 5 Teachers of Bollywood

"Our teachers have scolded us, twisted our ears and taught us some significant lessons while shaping our personalities for life."

Bollywood actors, have played their part in immortalizing teachers on the silver screen. Though there might be numerous actors who have played the role of a teacher on screen, there are a handful few who have been extremely inspirational.

On the eve of Teacher's Day, we look at the Top 5 Teachers of Bollywood.

Amitabh Bachchan
 
  • Debraj Sahai (Black)
  • Narayan Shankar (Mohabbatein)
  • Prabhakar Anand (Aarakshan)
Amitabh Bachchan has played the role of a teacher a number of times in his filmy career. His deep baritone voice and the respect his mere presence commands, make him the perfect choice for playing the role of a teacher. In the National Award winning film 'Black', Bachchan played the role of an eccentric teacher who creates magic when he succeeds in giving a deaf, dumb and blind girl a new lease of life through his teachings. In 'Mohabbatein' and 'Aarakshan', Bachchan is a strict disciplinarian who is high on morals.
Naseeruddin Shah

  • Amar Verma (Sir)
Whenever we think of teachers in Bollywood, Naseeruddin Shah's role as and in 'Sir' is definitely the first that plays in our minds. Naseeruddin Shah is a dream teacher who believes in having fun along with his students. Irrespective of the problems surrounding his personal life, 'Sir' goes out of his way to help his students resulting in all the students singing "We love you" in unison.

Shah Rukh Khan
  • Raj Aryan Malhotra (Mohabbatein)
Shah Rukh Khan is a teacher who teaches his students to love instead of teaching regular and boring subjects. Though he is a music teacher, his speciality lies in decoding the various aspects of love and making his students realize it. The subject of love couldn't have found a better representative than SRK, the King of romance, himself.

Sushmita Sen

  • Chandni Chopra (Main Hoon Na)
Can we ever think of a hotter Chemistry professor than Sushmita Sen in 'Main Hoon Na'? As Sush sashayed around the college campus in her uber sexy chiffons, her students cannot help but be mesmerized by her beauty. While she taught complicated chemical equations, the students, including Shah Rukh Khan, devised plans to strike up an equation of a different variety with her.

Aamir Khan


  • Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Taare Zameen Par)
Aamir Khan's sensitive portrayal of a teacher who helps a dyslexic child to deal with his shortcomings, was a wonderful one. Aamir, as a teacher, was warm, compassionate and giving. He accepted children the way they were and sought to bring out the best in them. Through his role, Aamir made us all think how the world would have been a better place if all teachers were like that.

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.
