It is going to be a battle worth a watch as three biggies are all set to clash on the Republic Day weekend. Amitabh Bachchan's Rann, Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots and Ranbir Kapoor’s Rajneeti are slated now to release on January 22nd 2010.
Ramu’s Rann was earlier planned for October 2nd release date but following the censorship issues about his Jana Gana song he seems to have decided to push the release ahead. Rajkumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots starring Aamir, Kareena Kapoor, Madhavan and Sharman Joshi was slated for a December 25th 2009 release date but again with the dates shuffling post the two months strike, it won’t be possible for Aamir to make a Christmas Day hat-trick.
Rajneeti on the other hand was always slated for a January 22nd release date. This Prakash Jha film is carrying excellent reports and also stars Katrina Kaif, Ajay Devgan, Nana Patekar and Arjun Rampal in it.
Another trade analyst says, “Though they may clash into each other, with the extended weekend they would get with the Republic Day holiday each one will manage to get their required space. But what a feast it would be for the audience!”
These are two superstars who haven't teamed up at all. Aishwarya Rai who made a guest appearance in Mela (2000) is seen here with Aamir Khan, the star of the film. This picture was shot on the sets of the film that eventually failed to work at the box office. Aamir-Ash were later supposed to star in a full-length movie. Find out why they never did.
Mela may have bombed at the box office. But it is the only film so far to have these two stars in it, even if it is for a short time.
The two were to star together in The Rising: Ballad of Mangal Pandey. In fact Aishwarya Rai had even agreed in principle to do the film
Ash requested that her role be reworked a bit. Director Ketan Mehta (who was also to work on another project with her) apparently agreed and promised to get back to her.
Ash was not happy about it and eventually she bowed out of the project, wished Aamir all the best... and hasn't worked with him so far
She is one of Bollywood's leading actresses and turns 27 Saturday. But Priyanka Chopra says she is not a party animal and would like to just have a quiet birthday with her near and dear ones.
"I'm not a big party person and I don't like throwing parties at all. So this time a lot of my family members have decided to fly down to be with me, " Priyanka told over e-mail from Mumbai.
"It's likely to be a day spent doing nothing in particular - just hanging out with the people who love me and want to be around me to make my day special. That's all, " she added.
Priyanka has had a fulfilling year with two hits "Fashion" and "Dostana", which fetched her lots of awards.
She is entering a new year in her life, but hasn't set any goals for herself.
"I've never set any goals for myself. I've always been destiny's child and destiny has always looked after me. I think someone up there always manages my life and does what's best for me. So I just leave it up to Him. I just work hard at what he sends my way, " she said.
Currently, Priyanka is busy shooting for Yash Raj Films' "Pyaar Impossible" along with Uday Chopra and Dino Morea.
The actress is also looking forward to the release of Vishal Bharadwaj's "Kaminey" with Shahid Kapoor and Ashutosh Gowariker's "What's Your Rashee?" in which she plays 12 different roles.
Two back-to-back flops and Harman Baweja seems to be creating insecurity even for his female co-stars!
It is learnt that Genelia D’ Souza who stars opposite Harman in Anees Bazmee directed It’s My Life is trying her best to not have this film as her next release. She is wanting her Shahid Kapoor starrer Yahoo to come before It’s My Life.Our source says, “Genelia D’Souza has had a bumper hit last year in Aamir Khan produced Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. But post that she has mostly been seen in TV commercials rather than feature films.
She knows it well that the Shahid Kapoor film will create a bigger buzz and get her the publicity she needs, rather than a Harman starrer.
And then of course Shahid Kapoor is also supposed to be sizzling hot property after Kaminey. That’s why Genelia is trying every trick in the book to delay It’s My Life.”
“She dily dallied allotting dates for the patchwork of It’s My Life and now she is not being co-operative for giving her dates for its dubbing.
The matter seems to be going out of hand with Anees Bazmee apparently even threatening to get a professional dubbing artist dub instead of her if she doesn’t co-operate soon. But little does he know what her real reason is!” the source further adds.
Last heard, Genelia is said to have fallen sick! That means more wait for the It’s My Life makers.

Two days before tennis star Sania Mirza's engagement, a youth who claim to be in love with her was arrested Wednesday for allegedly creating nuisance at her residence here.
Police said Mohammed Ashraf, 28, late Tuesday created a scene at the player's residence claiming that he is in love with Sania. The civil engineering student from Kerala demanded that her engagement be cancelled.
Ashraf along with his friend D. Mohanty went to Sania's house and had a heated argument with her father Imran Mirza. They demanded Imran cancel Sania's engagement.
India's number one woman tennis player's engagement is scheduled July 10 with Sohrab Mirza, son of a local businessman.
On a complaint from Imran Mirza, a case was registered at the Banjara Hills police station. Police Wednesday arrested Ashraf for trespass and making threatening calls to the player. He will be brought to a court later in the day.
Asharf told police that he was in love with Sania and wanted to marry her. On learning about Sania's scheduled engagement with a local man, Asharf and his friend went to her house to demand that the engagement be cancelled.
A police officer quoted Asharf as saying that he saw Sania playing in a tournament in Bangalore and fell in love with her. He was also sending messages and making threatening calls to Sania on her mobile phone.
Policemen were posted at Sania's house after the incident.
When Akshay Kumar decided to throw his first party in Bollywood to celebrate the opening collections of his "Kambakkht Ishq", he made it a point to invite Shah Rukh Khan even though the superstar was far away in San Francisco.
"Yes, I did call Shah Rukh Khan to invite him. When Kareena and I suddenly decided on Sunday evening to have a party, we decided we'd invite the entire industry. This wasn't a party to celebrate our success alone.
It was also a party to celebrate the success of 'New York' as much as my own film. So, apart from me and Kareena, the party's unofficial hosts were Katrina (Kaif), John (Abraham) and the entire 'New York' team, " said Akshay.
Akshay has often accused members of the film industry of trying to sabotage his films but he still wanted everyone to come together for the success of two films following a slump.
"I want them to celebrate any success and not be happy when films fail. When 'New York' was released, SMS messages against the film were sent out.
The same thing is happening with my film. Why be negative? Specially when I've always been happy for all my colleagues' successes?" Akshay asked.
"So yes, I personally called up Shah Rukh and all my colleagues for the party. But he's shooting in San Francisco...There will be plenty more occasions, I'm sure, " the actor said.
The party hosted at the Marriott Hotel Monday night was Akshay's first ever.
"I completely shy away from parties. But this time I think we all needed to express solidarity and happiness over the end of the prolonged slump, " he said.
The impromptu party was Kareena's idea. "We quickly drew up a list. She invited her friends. I invited mine. Then we began making the calls. Then there was Tina (wife Twinkle) who called her friends. That just about covered the whole industry, " Akshay added.
And how was the party?
"No drinking for me. But a lot of dancing. It was a lot of fun, " the star said.
Katrina: Call me Desirable not Sexy
We thought Katrina and Kareena have made peace with each other but then you shouldn't believe every thing you hear.
Elated with the rave reviews she got for acting, Katrina at a recent press meet, announced that she doesn't need to wear a short skirt or show her legs to get audiences to go for her film or to love her. Apparently, she was taking a dig at Kareena, who donned a bathing suit in her latest movie Kambakkht Ishq.
Tell her that she too has recently topped a poll for the Sexiest Asian Woman... and Kat says, "I think it was Race that tilted the scale. My fans saw a different Katrina and they liked her. But I think here people vote for who they like as opposed to the west where they are governed by the definition of the word.
Personally, I’d prefer being called desirable to sexy since I don’t want to alienate my family audience. Maybe 20 years from now, I’ll find it sweet."
In case you're wondering why Katrina is fiddling with fire, we have two words for you - New York. The film has won Kat accolades not just for her beauty but this time also for her talent as an actress.
If sources are to be believed, it was during an event recently for the special screening of Kareena's latest flick ‘Kambakkht Ishq’, that Bebo and Kat could be seen literally avoiding each other.
Reports reveal that Akshay Kumar was hosting the show and along with him, there was Katrina Kaif and his good friend Riteish Deshmukh. While Katrina bonded with Riteish, Kareena was nowhere to be seen.
Grapevine has it that Kareena, who arrived late and made a quiet entry, left mid-way, while Katrina sat through the entire film.
Akshay Kumar is thrilled and upset at the same time. Thrilled, because his new movie, KAMBAKKHT ISHQ, has taken an incredible start from East to West and from North to South.
Post JUMBO, CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA and 8 x 10 TASVEER, Akshay had become everyone's favorite punching bag. Once considered the blue-eyed boy of one and all, Akshay was dropped like a hot potato after a string of flops.
"I was disillusioned. I would be lying if I said that the flops didn't affect me. They did, especially the failure of CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA. I was heart-broken, crest-fallen, " Akshay informs me. He's just back from a whirlwind tour (Puerto Rico, London, Delhi, now Mumbai) and has barely slept since the past few days.
"I was extremely nervous. I couldn't sleep. What if KAMBAKKHT ISHQ doesn't open well? That thought kept bothering me, " Akshay admits. But now that the film has fetched a superb start, the actor is feeling relieved. "Aaj raat achchi neend aayegi, " he flashes his charismatic smile, when he's told that the film should have a record-breaking opening weekend.
But Akshay's upset too -- and it shows -- when he feels that there's a strategy to pull him down. The negative sms-es during the paid previews and the subsequent messages ridiculing his film have hurt him.
"Why do we resort to such things? Aren't we happy that the audiences are back? NEW YORK attracted crowds, now KAMBAKKHT ISHQ has. LUCK, LOVE AAJ KAL and KAMINEY would also bring crowds. The volume of business is only increasing. But by resorting to such things, we are only harming ourselves, " Akshay says.
After a gloriously bravura and spectacularly successful performance in Ghajini, Aamir Khan has finally decided to do what he was planning for quite a while.
He has taken a full year off from acting and movies.
Aamir is wrapping up his work on the film before moving on to a year of relaxation and introspection.
Says one of his co-stars from the film, "Aamir has been talking about re-charging his batteries, giving himself that much-needed break. Ghajini and all the preparation has been specially exhausting both physically and emotionally. Aamir is the kind of actor who works purely for the love of cinema. And right now he needs to take a break."
A source close to Aamir spills the beans, "It's true Aamir is finally taking a year off after 3 Idiots is completed. Actually he was planning to do so last year after Taare Zameen Par where the double responsibility of directing and acting really sapped him.
But then he was coaxed into Ghajini and then began his physical re-orientation, the muscle-building and body-toning that really exhausted the method actor."
It's time for a prolonged break.
Says the source, "Aamir is ready to take that long-pending break. Yes, he wont be doing any films for the next one year. And this time I've a feeling no power on earth will convince him to take up another offer until he's ready to return to acting by his own free will."
Aamir Khan Productions currently busy with Abhinay Deo's Delhi Belly and Kiran Rao's Dhobi Ghat is expected to remain fully active as the man at its helm takes time off to travel, read scripts, watch films and spend time with his children.
Ghajini producer Madhu Mantena is one of the hopefuls who would just have to eait until Aamir is rejuvenated.
Says Madhu, "Is Aamir really taking time off? He has earned it. But it's bad news for people like us. I was hoping to sign him for another film after Ghajini."
