'Bodyguard' first look



Salman Khan's Bodyguard to unveil first look of his film

For 15 years, he has willingly risked his own life and vowed to take a bullet for Salman Khan. And now, the actor is paying him back his dues. Deciding to take a back seat himself, Salman has asked his real lifebodyguard Shera to unveil the first look of his film Bodyguard at a Juhu multiplex, this evening. 

It all started with Salman suddenly approaching Atul Agnihotri (producer of Bodyguard), with his new concept. Though Agnihotri was sceptical at first, he reluctantly agreed to Salman's terms. Shera was caught off guard by the overwhelming offer from the star. 

It took quite a while for Shera to get a grasp of the situation. When he got hold of his nerves, he told Salman that it is indeed an honour for him, and he shall fulfill Salman's wish. 

Though it comes as a surprise to Shera, this surely isn't the first time that Salman has decided to take care of his bodyguard. Previously, Salman Khan turned down a whopping Rs 7 crore offer to wear a certain security company's uniform in Bodyguard. Instead he opted for his own personal bodyguard's brand. 

When contacted, Shera told Mumbai Mirror, "I couldn't believe it at first. It felt surreal. I had to pinch myself to make sure that this indeed was real. Salmanbhai's wish is my command. 

Salmanbhai has always taken care of me and this gesture just proves that how great a human being he is. He is family to me. I owe everything to him."

Kareena Kapoor back in Heroine, but conditions apply


Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's 'good news' had poured cold water on Madhur Bhandarkar and UTV's dreams of making Heroine. However, like every dark cloud, this too has a silver lining. Kareena Kapoor has finally agreed to step into the shoes left empty by Mrs Jr Bachchan. 

On Monday, UTV's CEO Siddharth Roy Kapur and the writer of Heroine Niranjan Iyengar flew down to Hyderabad to meet Kareena who had been spending some time with her boyfriend Saif Ali Khan, who in turn has been shooting for Cocktail with Deepika Padukone at the Ramoji Rao Film City there.

The meeting between the producer, the writer and the actress proved to be quite fruitful. So much so that the actress has now agreed to be a part of the project, with a few conditions of her own.

"Kareena has consented to the snorting, drinking and smoking scenes. Earlier, she had strong reservations against them. Now, she just doesn't want to do the explicit lovemaking scenes with Arjun Rampal and Sudhir Mishra's discovery Arunoday Singh. Those scenes are extremely sexy and Kareena is just not comfortable doing them," informed a source.

And while UTV doesn't want to let go of this opportunity to revive their dream project with Kareena Kapoor, convincing the director Madhur to make changes in his script yet again, proves to be a challenge.

While Madhur Bhandarkar remained unavailable for comments, a source close to the film informed Mumbai Mirror, "Iyengar is very close to Kareena. He knew that this time he would be able to convince her. Both Kapur and Iyengar were very happy after the meeting. They were beaming. Madhur too was happy to learn that Kareena has agreed to do the film."

Kareena, interestingly, happened to be Madhur's choice for the film previously. However, the actress had refused to do it since she felt that the content of the film was too heavy and bold for her. "What can be better than getting your first choice back in the project?" quipped the source when asked about the same.

Having found his silver lining in Hyderabad, UTV's head honcho Siddharth Roy Kapur stayed on in the city to multiply his happiness. This time with a different leading lady who also happens to be the lady leading his heart.

He extended his visit to be with his ladylove Vidya Balan who is shooting for Ekta Kapoor's Dirty Picture with co-star Emraan Hashmi and director Milan Luthria at the Ramoji Rao Film City in Hyderabad. So after a successful meeting, Kapur dropped by to meet Vidya on the sets of the film based on the life of Silk Smitha.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had left the project after a week's shoot following her father in law's tweet about her pregnancy on June 21. According to industry insiders, it isn't commercially viable for the makers of the film to wait for more than a year for Ash to come back to the project.

Kapur and Bhandarkar remained unavailable for comment. Ditto for Kareena.

Vivek gets ready to play a baddie in Krrish 2

Vivek Oberoi has already begun conceptualising his look for Krrish 2. It is learnt that producer-director Rakesh Roshan, too, is keen on having a distinct look for VO, who essays the bad man in their next superhero extravaganza.

They are eager to rope in a Los-Angeles based make-up artist who has also worked with Johnny Depp for Alice In Wonderland and the Pirates Of The Caribbean series. 

Now it remains to be seen if the negotiations work in Vivek's favour. 

Then it won't be surprising to hear him talk about his Johnny Depp connection until Krissh 2 releases!

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Review

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Rating: 3.33/5



 Ratings:3.5/5 Reviewer:Taran Adarsh Site:BollywoodHungama

ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA is real and can be rightly termed as a slice of life film.  In ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA, Zoya chooses an attention-grabbing story and garnishes it well with moments that may seem straight out of a person's memoirs. In fact, it's a completely novel take on comrades and camaraderie. While the first half has several wonderful moments  the post-interval portions -- right till the well-thought-of culmination -- keeps your attention arrested. On the whole, ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA has its share of plusses and minuses, highs and lows. It's definitely not for ardent fans of kitsch or those with an appetite for typical masala entertainers. This one's more for spectators with refined tastes and sensibilities.

Zoya Akhtar's Spain odyssey demands just one thing from you: that you slip into adventure mode and then go with the flow.... Rest assured, you're in for a merry ride, with loads of thrills, emotional banter, romance and camaraderie between a host of characters who seem to be having as much fun as you. There seems to be one small little snag however. The first half of the film is low on drama and proceeds as a touristy piece on Spain.It's the second half of the film which emerges as a scintillating insight into friendship, emotional growth and bonding.

 Ratings:3/5 Reviewer:Saibal Chatterjee Site:NDTV
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara has a simple enough narrative core that revolves around the three male protagonists seeking to breakfree from the confines of their respective boxes. Their struggles yield many charming moments although one cannot avoid the sneaking suspicion that this cheerful ode to life, love and friendship is as much about telling a story as about a selling a country to prospective tourists. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara does exude pronounced traces of the spirit of Dil Chahta Hai, but its essential rhythm is its own, stemming from the dynamics of a full-fledged road movie shot through with intelligence, emotion and, above all, humanism.

Watch the flick for some light moments full of fun and laughter. The flick is packed with guy jokes and boys will surely love the humour. There's a feeling of freshness in the movie, thanks to the never seen before cast, definitely something to look out for. The road trip is bound to entertain you to the hilt.The first part is little low on drama, as most of the time the stars are seen checking in and out of the hotels.Barring that, the movie is a very good watch.

She puts together a familiar plot, with recurring themes of friendship, love, coming-of-age and travel as its mainstay, but her invigorating characters pump in fresh energy into a film that could have been strictly mediocre. The dialogue are gentle, they won't make you ROFL; they are more like tender dig in the ribs. The real triumph is that the characters are real and life-like. If you shut your eyes for a moment, you might see your own self in Kabir, Imran or Laila.

   Ratings:3.5/5 Reviewer:Blessy Chettiar Site:DNA
Witty dialogue (credited to Farhan himself), playful chitchat and the camaraderie between the friends personify Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. However, the lack of chemistry among them in the first hour cannot be ignored. ZNMDhas so many silent moments, it's likely to put you to sleep.Now if you takeDCH as the benchmark, it's up to you how slow/polished/boring/unnecessary/pretty you find ZNMD.For those (which, I assume, is a lot of us), who may not be able to afford a holiday in Spain for any time soon, go catch ZNMD for good performances, music, Spain and of course, Farhan Akhtar in his element.
