Sunny Leone at Ragini MMS 2

While the makers of Ragini MMS 2 have touted the film as a spook fest with sensuousness, drama, and, of course, Sunny Leone, the actress feels that the movie is a date flick.

While talking to a daily, Sunny Leone went candid about her next release, which was recently in the news for lesbian scenes featuring Sandhya Mridul and Sunny. “It's not about what people think it is. Ragini MMS 2 is a date movie. You can take your girlfriend to the movie and I guarantee you will enjoy it,” Sunny is quoted as saying.

The actress further adds that Ragini MMS 2, produced by Ekta Kapoor, is a kind of movie that has all the elements of a thrilling entertainer. Sunny Leone is sure that the audience will enjoy the experience of watching her horror film.
The sequel will take forward the story and will start from where the first part ended. The movie doesn’t have any lesbian scene, but it features a kiss between the two girls, and according to the makers, the script demanded it. Actress Sandhya Mridul was chosen to cast alongside Sunny Leone for the film after Richa Chadda walked out from the project as she wasn’t comfortable with the lesbian content.

As for now, Sunny Leone is soaking in the success of Laila -- her first item number in Bollywood. She’s even tweeting non-stop about the movie Shootout At Wadala that has started minting money at the box office.

Sunny has even signed a three-film deal with Parag Sanghvi, of Alumbra Entertainment. The first movie of the production house will be a thriller.

Doing intimate scenes with Emraan is easier: Sonal Chauhan

From a pageant winner to film actress, Sonal Chauhan has been there, done that, and overcome many odds along the way. "I belong to a conservative family. My father was a police inspector and he was quite strict. When I thought of making a career in the glamour industry, it was quite difficult to convince him initially, but when I won the title of Miss World Tourism things started shaping up in my favour in my family. My father and family started supporting me. as they felt that I would do well in this industry," shares Sonal, who made her debut in Bollywood as Zoya in 'Jannat'.

 

However, in the span of five years in the industry, Sonal only has three big movies to her credit. "After doing Jannat, I did Buddha Hoga Tera Baap with Amitabh ji and my last release was 3G with Neil Nitin Mukesh. Actually, after Jannat, I went back to Delhi to pursue my studies, but now I am back and in days to come, audiences will get to see more of me on screen," she promises.

In her last release Sonal also showcased her singing talent. "It was by chance that I sang for a song in 3G. Mithoon, the music director of the film, was not getting a female playback singer whose voice could gel perfectly with my character in the movie. I used to sing during the shooting breaks and Mithoon noticed it. One fine day, he came to me and told that he wants to record Kaise Bataaon track in my voice. I was really apprehensive, but later I decided to go along with the offer. The day I went to the studio for the recording, I was really nervous but Mithoon supported me a lot and the song turned out really well. Now I have decided to take professional training in singing, and Mithoon's dad has also provided me with a teacher to hone my singing skills," shares the actress.

But while 3G didn't fare well at the box office, Sonal made news for other reasons while working in the film - her alleged link up with co-star Neil. "I agree that Neil is a good friend, and if we are working together, it does not mean we are dating each other. I would like to make it very clear that I am single at the moment. I have noticed that whenever two young actors work together, people start linking them up," says Sonal, who was in a brief visit to Kanpur recently.

Be it in Jannat or 3G, Sonal hasn't shied away from doing bold scenes in her movies. But when it comes to her comfort level with her co-stars, she prefers Emraan Hashmi over Neil Nitin Mukesh. "I don't know why, doing intimate scenes with Emraan is easier than with any other actor. I was really comfortable while shooting those scenes with him. He has mastered the art of making his co-star perfectly comfortable while filming intimate scenes," says Sonal.

Check out Sushmita Sen’s fit and hot bod!

Sush is back!

Bollywood actor Sushmita Sen may be a successful entrepreneur now, but she misses being on big screen. It’s been a while since she was seen on 70 mm. Her last film was No Problem in 2010. Recently, the actress was spotted working out with her trainer. Is a comeback on the cards, Sushmita?

The former Miss Universe looks fit and fab as she aspires for a good and healthy body. After the paparazzi spotted her on the streets of Mumbai, jogging late in the night, the actress has posted some pictures on twitter, showing her killer curves and toned body.

Sushmita Sen wrote, "I had a bad back injury 9 yrs ago..yet a good teacher n will power can heal ANYTHING!!:) I AM BACK:))”. Later she added, “Thank u teacher for making sure I workout everyday even if late at night is all d time I cud manage!!:) U ROCK!!!:))”

The actress usually grabs the limelight for her link-ups rather than the movies. Recently, she was in the news for her alleged marriage plans with the former Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram, which she denied later, saying that Wasim is just a good friend.

But now it’s said that the sexy femme is prepping up for her new Bollywood innings, and might revive her once-stalled film, Jhansi Ki Rani -- her maiden home production. The scripting of the film is reportedly done and shooting will begin soon.

Birthday girl Anushka Sharma turns 25

Birthday girl

 The ever vivacious Anushka Sharma celebrates her birthday on May 1
Today is the birthday of the chirpy, lively and doubtlessly talented actress Anushka Sharma. The girl turns 25.

As the Bangalore girl who got her lucky break in 2008 with none other than the superstar of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Anushka Sharma has come a long way in the last four years. Though her filmography is not without its share of flop flicks, Anushka’s portrayal of an enterprising wedding planner in Band Baaja Baaraat and the daring documentary filmmaker in Jab Tak Hai Jaan have stood out as the performances of her career.

And you may be surprised to know that though Anushka exudes tons of confidence on screen, she says in real life she’s very shy and under-confident.

“I am a very under-confident person. Whatever is seen in films is just a projection of my character. I wish I could be as confident as the characters I play on screen, but I am not. I am a very shy person,” the 25-year-old recently told reporters at Times of India Film Awards (TOIFA) in Vancouver.

You may also be surprised to know that Anushka didn’t really plan on to become an actress.

“It wasn't planned as I came from Bangalore. We don't have the influence of films. I didn't grow up watching films, so it wasn't a decision to be an actor. But god had something different planned for me,” she said.

Presently, Anushka Sharma is looking forward to three major films: Peekay with Aamir Khan, Bombay Velvet with Ranbir Kapoor and Paani with Hrithik Roshan

Sonam Kapoor will start shooting for the remake of the Hrishikesh Mukerjee-directed 1980 family drama ‘Khubsoorat’ from August. The camera will start rolling for "Khubsoorat" during monsoon and its lead actress Sonam Kapoor says the story has been completely changed while retaining the spirit of the characters. "I will start shooting this August," she told IANS. The Hrishikesh Mukerjee-directed 1980 family drama, which won the Filmfare award for the best film, was about a young fun loving girl who falls in love with a doctor, played by Rakesh Roshan. How she wins the hearts of everyone in her beau's family that revolves around his mother's strict regimen is the story all about. If Rekha had wowed everyone with her happy-go-lucky performance, Deena Pathak as a strict family head added the right contrast to the story. "The whole point of the film is to capture the spirit of the character. The story is completely changed. So, I want to capture that spirit. Rekha did it so beautifully... even if I can do 10 percent of that, it is great." Making her character more contemporary is what Sonam Kapoor aims at. "I am scared before getting into any character. I hope to make it more current and how young girls are right now... more vibrant," she said, She is convinced that girls will appreciate the new version of "Khubsoorat" and added: "It will be very Mills and Boonish. I make movies for girls. It is a chic flick."

Sunny Leone to hot up ‘Welcome 2’, replaces Mallika Sherawat

 

Sunny Leone replaces Mallika Sherawat in ‘Welcome 2’?

Bollywood has taken a shine to the stunning Sunny Leone for sure! After the actress signed a three-film deal with producer Parag Sanghvi for a staggering Rs 5 crore, she is again in the news for bagging the Welcome sequel.

The industry is abuzz with the talk that Sunny Leone has replaced Mallika Sherawat in Welcome 2, titled Welcome Back. Yes, Sunny will essay the role of the love interest of Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor in the film. The role was played by Mallika Sherawat in the original.

Apparently, the makers of Welcome 2 feel that Mallika has lost her charm. Also, her last movie Kismat Love Paisa Dilli (2012) tanked without a trace at the box office.

“Mallika is busy doing her television show, and besides, the filmmakers felt that she isn’t as popular as she was during the making of Welcome…” a source is quoted as saying. Sunny Leone, on the other hand, enjoys a good fan-base because of her growing popularity, and will hot up the screen with her beauty and oomph.

While Mallika Sherawat is trying to revamp her career and soon will be seen on Bachelorette India -- Mere Khayalon Ki Mallika, the Indian version of the American reality show The Bachelor, Sunny Leone is currently busy with Ragini MMS 2, and is looking forward to other projects which she has signed. Her item song Laila from Shootout At Wadala is a chartbuster.

Do you think Sunny can do justice to the role, because Mallika was very impressive as the siren romancing the two dons in Welcome?

Katrina Kaif did 'Bombay Talkies' for free

Katrina Kaif did not charge acting fee for 'Bombay Talkies'

Download Wallpaper

Bombay Talkies, an anthology film to celebrate the centenary of Indian cinema, is made on a skimpy budget. It’s not a typical commercial enterprise aimed at making big bucks. So very rightly Katrina Kaif did forgo her acting fee for the flick.

Katrina features in a short film by Zoya Akhtar in Bombay Talkies. It tells the story of a star-struck boy who’s obsessed with Katrina Kaif, smitten with her beauty and charm. It is said to be based on a real life incident about a Katrina fan that Zoya came to know a few years back.

So when the chance to make a short film in Bombay Talkies came along, Zoya decided to make a film on it and she even roped in Katrina whom she directed in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.

And guess what? Knowing very well that Zoya Akhtar was working within a small budget of about Rs. 2 crore, Katrina Kaif did not charge a penny for her performance in the film, we have learnt.

Not just Katrina, even Amitabh Bachchan refused to accept any money for the special appearance he made in Anurag Kashyap’s short story in Bombay Talkies.

The other two films in this anthology are by Dibakar Banerjee and Karan Johar. This is the first time Karan Johar has directed something on such a small budget.
