Tera Hone Laga Hoon

Ranbir's Ajab Prem... creating waves

This is going to be a ghazab ka phillum simply because the hottest sensations of Bollywood, Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor, are coming together on screen as a jodi for the first time.



The promos of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani already have people rating them as a hit. Tips Films, which is presenting this romantic comedy, believes that it has a winner, given its earlier track record — Race and Kismat Konnection. Like Ranbir and Katz, producer Ramesh Taurani too is excited about his offering because it’s directed by Rajkumar Santoshi who has given hits like Andaz Apna Apna, Barsaat, Damini and many others. “Ajab... is even more hilarious than Andaz Apna Apna,” said Taurani, “in fact, if Andaz had comedy, Ajab has comedy and romance in it.”

Telling BT why they chose Ranbir and Katz, Santoshi said, “The film required a fresh pair. We were very impressed with Ranbir and Katrina. They have great screen presence and their fans will love them in this film.”

The stars hit it off instantly on day one. They shot extensively on exotic locations in Turkey, Goa and Ooty, and like in the film, they had fun on the sets too. “Don’t go by her looks, she’s a bully,” said Ranbir as Katrina smiled and added, “People across all sections will be able to relate to this film.” The music, too, is catching on with audiences and topping charts, especially the song Tera Hone Laaga Hoon.

“The song wasn’t choreographed as such. The two were told to be natural and their screen presence added magic to the song,” said the filmmakers. Pritam, who scored the music, roped in some big singers like Atif Aslam, Kailash Kher, KK, Sunidhi Chauhan, Alisha Chinoy and Hard Kaur for this rom-com which is set to hit theatres on Novembe 6.

Katrina shares sizzling chemistry with co-stars

Bollywood actor Katrina Kaif hails energy level of his co-star Ranbir Kapoor on the sets of their much-awaited film Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani (APKGK). After delivering some serious films, director Rajkumar Santoshi is all set to provide the audience with a breather with his upcoming romantic comedy APKGK. With a title that is too long, and quite unlike a typical Bollywood name, the forthcoming movie has already made its presence fel

And the other thing making news is on-screen chemistry seen in promos and off-screen chemistry seen in media briefings between actor Kaif and Kapoor. The actors have been paired for the first time for this romantic comedy. Kaif while talking to reporters at a promotional event here on Friday said that they gelled well with each other because of their similar working style of keeping the energy flowing on the film set.Kaif recalled the entertainment on the sets of the film and said that when the filmmaker is passionate then the energy level on the sets is much better. "In this film Ajab, baseball I think it was. Baseball in between every shot we have like cameraman assistants and the lighting guys and every one together playing baseball. I think I was wearing some weighing dress but still I managed to play. It's just the matter of wanting to be on the film set. If you are working with someone who wants to be there and then passionate about making films because that's what they love doing, then the energy is so much better."The film is a romantic tale of two youngsters, Prem and Jennifer, played by Kapoor and Kaif. Shot in Ooty, Goa
, Mumbai and Turkey Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani is slated to release on November 6.

Katrina Kiaf's presence makes my movies blockbuster: Akshay Kumar

Mumbai: It's been a long time since the beautiful Katrina Kaif has been a lucky charm for sturdy actor Akshay Kumar.

In a recent interview with a leading daily Akki revealed that Katrina has been really lucky for him.

Akshay Kumar said, "Katrina and I have together given a number of hits and she has really been a boon to my Bollywood career. She is really talented and of course I have enjoyed every bit of working with her."

It's quite obvious that Katrina has been a boon for everyone she has worked with, may be it's because of the lady's love for her fans or her fans' love for her.

Ranbir plays the spurned lover again

He started his career with "Saawariya" where he worshipped the ground that Sonam Kapoor walked on. She had eyes only for Salman.

Then in "Bachna Ae Haseenon", Deepika Padukone said a flat no to Ranbir'r proposal. And now in "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" Ranbir again wooes the girl with his one-sided attentions, almost playing Katrina Kaif's faithful poodle hanging around her unconditionally.
Raj Kumar Santoshi, who returns to comedy after 15 years, says he wanted Ranbir to play the unrequited lover-boy with a difference.

"'Ajab Prem...is a film about unrequited love. I didn't want Ranbir to play the loser in love as a tragic hero. Chaplin and Ranbir's grandfather Raj Kapoor excelled in playing tragic losers in love," Santoshi maintained.

Hasn't Ranbir already done the role of an unrequited lover in "Saawariya"?
Santoshi agreed: "Yes. But not in this zany and upbeat way. Though Ranbir's character loses out in love, he doesn't lose heart for even a second. He remains blindly devoted and besotted right till the end while Katrina just keeps taking him for granted."

Salman is very lazy: Katrina

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan can scare anybody off with his hot temper, but hottie Katrina Kaif didn't even think once before tweeting on her current flame.

Smasher Salman Khan, known for his hot temper has some food for thought dished out by love of his life. Katrina Kaif not only thinks that the hot hunk is 'lazy' but has also declared it to the world.

In response to a query Kat shared this valuable insight on her twitter page: "No, Salman's not on twitter. Do you think he has the patience to update on a daily basis?? Naah, he's quite lazy!! :)

So, Sallu what do you have to say about this? Or are you too lazy to react!

Salman's gal Kat won't work with Vivek

"I would not work with Vivek anyway," the 25-year-old actor told reporters here when asked about the actor.

Her statement assumes importance in the backdrop that the relationship between Salman Khan, considered close to Katrina, and Vivek is far from being hunky-dory.

However, she hurriedly added that she takes her own decisions and denied that they were influenced by Salman.

Katrina, whose recent movie 'NewYork' was well-recieived by the audience and critics alike, thanked God and people who supported her for the success she has achieved.

To repeated questions on Salman, she refused to comment and said, "I will give Salman secretary's phone and you are free to ask all such questions to him. "

Katrina who is in the state capital for the second schedule of Prakash Jha's movie 'Rajneeti', also starring Ranbir Kapoor, said Bhopal was a nice place and people too were warm and charming.

Priyanka Chopra at war with Katrina?

Speculations are rife that Bollywood actors Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif are at war fighting for the top position. Adding more fuel to the fire, it was reported that Katrina has replaced Priyanka in the hit film Dostana by Karan Johar.

However, Priyanka, who is basking on the stupendous success of Kaminey, denied having cold vibes with Katrina. She said that she has no problem with Katrina and that her character in Dostana had reached the end, as depicted at the end of the film . She added that every actor is a competitor including Katrina.

It's worth mentioning that Priyanka and Katrina are the top heroines in Bollywood today. But who is the No.1? You decide!

Where's Aditya, asks Katz

While it is hinted that one of the them is Dibakar Banerjee’s, the formalities for another film are being worked out. But the actress refuses to speak about her movies. She wants the filmmakers concerned to make the proper announcements. “You guys will know in due course,” says Katz.

Reacting to rumours that she is doing an Aditya Chopra film with Shah Rukh Khan, the Princess of Bollywood says, “Hey, where is Aditya Chopra? I keep reading about these rumoured films with him? I may be in a production of his banner, but I have no clue about Aditya directing any film with me as of now.”

Pretty Katz wants the rumourmongers to rest for a bit. Shoo, Aditya Chopra, too, is wishing them away.

8 minutes of Katrina in 'Blue' She has only a guest role in the film

Just the mere presence of Katrina Kaif in a film is enough to get extra seat bumps in theatres. That’s why the early promos of the upcoming underwater thriller Blue have been focusing on Katrina, despite the fact that the actress has only a guest role in the film. “I appear for all of eight minutes in Blue,” Katrina clarified in a media report. Katrina said she did the movie only because her good friend Akshay Kumar asked her to. Akshay and Sanjay Dutt are the film’s leading stars along with Zayed Khan and Lara Dutta. The actress adds that she was assured by the film’s makers in advance that no attempt will be made to promote the film as a Katrina Kaif-starrer. Rather, the actress has been given the promise that she would be kept out of the film’s hoardings and billboards and will be credited as a guest performer in the film. Katrina feels that any attempt to mislead the audience won’t work in the movie’s favour. The beautiful belle also makes a unique style statement in ‘Blue’. She wears a ring under her lip. However, she did not pierce her lip for the accessory. Rather she used a magnetic ring. Can’t wait to watch her in ‘Blue’, even if she’s there for a few minutes!

Ghazab Kahani

Bollywood’s most desirable female tickles the handsomest newcomer on his ear and plants a love bite.

It could have been a big scoop had it happened in private and not before the rolling camera on the sets of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. All those who had doubts whether Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor would look good together will be proved wrong in this film directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. People from the film’s unit have been swearing by the natural, sparkling chemistry Kat and Ranby created on the sets.

This is duo’s second film together besides Prakash Jha’s Rajniti which is a political thriller.

Catholic Katrina The movie has Katrina playing a Catholic girl from Bandra. She’s is dramatic, hysterical and gives herself a lot of importance. She’s perennially surrounded by self-created problems which appear funny to others.

Bumbling Ranbir Ranbir Kapoor plays a bumbling do-gooder who is goofy and clumsy. His character in the film is a synthesis of Charlie Chaplin and Raj Kapoor. Ranbir stammers in many dialogues in the film. Slideshow - Katrina's love bite to Ranbir! Don’t be jealous by this ghazab kahani!

Director Santoshi enacted many scenes for Katrina to help her. “He (Santoshi) would actually show me how to gesticulate and roll my eyes. Once I got the hang of it, I was fine,” Katrina said. Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani The movie’s story is penned by Santoshi himself while music is by Pritam. It also stars Upen Patel and has a cameo by Salman Khan. Produced by Ramesh Taurani, the film will hit the theatres on November 6, this year.

Katrina denies relationship with John Abraham

Relationship between Katrina Kaif and John Abraham while they were shooting their film together, New York. Though the talks now have died down what with both Kat and John vehemently denying any such thing having happened, it cant be denied that Katrina’s rapport with boyfriend Salman Khan has not exactly been great since then. Adding to her woes now is an offer from Dev D maker Anurag Kashyap to star in his next opposite John Abraham.It is learnt that the maverick film maker is making a series of movies about life in Mumbai and John is the only one who has been officially signed up so far. Anurag apparently has also sent the script across to Katrina who seems to have loved it. Sources close to her claim, it’s just the kind of film Kats would like to do at this point in time when she has just begun to make her mark as an actress. But she is still in two minds about signing up for the movie. The primary reason is that she is not sure if she wants to be be paired opposite John Abraham again. Katrina is in no mood to handle the rumours that she is sure will resurface.

Deepika is the new Katrina

If you are the kind who has regularly watched Hindi movies over the years, you can summarise the storyline of most movies into one line: boy meets girl, boy loses girl and boy wins girl again. Most Hindi films are essentially versions of this story line (or what the director of the movie may tell you treatment bilkul alag hai.)

Now what would you say about a movie which twists this entire logic on its head. Boy loses girl in the beginning, boy loses girl at the interval, boy loses girl again after interval and boy wins girl, finally, in the end, after the girl has gone ahead and married the second hero.

Well that it is different. Hmmm, almost. In a nutshell that is the story of Imitiaz Ali’s much awaited Love Aaj Kal. The movie works over most its two hours running time except towards the end when it really drags and of course whenever Deepika Padukone tries to act.

What works for the movie? Some semblance of a new storyline.

Great visuals (human as well as natural. You know what I mean.)

Great music backed by some real good lyrics. My favourite being the song Chor Bazaari, which has some brilliant lyrics.

Rishi Kapoor is excellent as usual (For a guy who barely acted for most of his career as a hero, he is having a real good second innings in Bollywood, with some excellent roles in movies like Hum Tum, Luck By Chance and now Love Aaj Kal. For the record he won a National Award for his debut role in Mera Naam Joker, when he was barely 18).

There are some real good oneliners in the first half, which I won’t reveal here.

Then there is Shweta Gulati playing the young Harleen (the girl who Rishi Kapoor’s character is in love with), who looks fantastic. She has been kept under the wraps, so don’t know what her name is. But she clearly reminded me of Bhagyashree in Maine Pyar Kiya. (How many hearts fluttered when she said hota hai, hota hai)

Oh and you must look out for this yesteryear actress, towards the end, who makes her comeback, after nearly 30 years away from the movies.

What doesn’t work for the movie?There is very little chemistry between Saif and Deepika. Now that means two things. Either Kareena should have been the heroine or Ranbir should have been the hero.

Some really corny lines in the second half. Sample this: “Love-who knows what love is. I haven’t figured out that one as yet.” In these portions Imitiaz Ali who has written the movie as well, has clearly been inspired by the Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar school of film making. (Remember when Shahrukh Khan says in Dil To Pagal Hai to Madhuri towards the end “Rahul,naam to yaad rahega na” and when he tells Kajol in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai “Tum nahi samjhogi Anjali Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”. That for me is the corniest line written ever.)

The major weakness of the movie is : Deepika Padukone, for sure. She can’t act for nuts. Her first film Om Shaanti Om did not need her to act. Her second movie Bachna Ae Haseeno had two other non acting heroines (Minisha Lamba and Bipasha Basu) which of course allowed her to share the blame.

But this movie rests solely on her and Saif Ali Khan. Saif is pretty decent continuing with his Hum Tum act. Deepika though is a disaster, and that makes what would have been a very good movie, a pretty average movie.

You can make out how much difficulty she has had just mouthing her dialogues. As friend who works in the film industry puts it “These days we say cut as soon as the actresses are able to complete their lines without any mistakes.” So that rules out any space for them getting their emotions right as well, while acting.

Deepika Padukone clearly belongs to that category. You can make out that she tries hard to emote, but her dialogue delivery clearly lets her down. I guess we can safely say “Deepika is the new Katrina.” And given that, she has a bright future. Who wants heroines to act anyway?

John mingles with a new girl

There seems to be a new girl in John Abraham's life. Well he hasn't dumped Bipasha Basu and hooked up with some one for sure but these days he often mingles with jewellery designer Paulomi Sanghavi. Although there is no romance brewing up between the two, John constantly keeps in touch with Paulomi whom he met through a common friend.

Paulomi's elite clientele stretches across Bollywood so she is a pretty well known figure in the tinsel town. People close to them swear by their chemistry together. Although John has been in a steady relationship with Bipasha has been linked to Vidya Balan and more recently Katrina Kaif. Well hope this doesn't make the Bong babe feel insecure

Katrina foolishly falls into Akshay's arms

Katrina Kaif

is perhaps the most-demanded actress in Bollywood today. She looks pretty on screen with an infectious smile but she is not a beauty with brains if we are to go by her words. She admitted that she made a mistake by foolishly falling into the arms of Akshay Kumar, who was known for his affairs with fellow co-stars at one point of time.

With strings of hits together, Katrina seemed to have developed trust on action king Akshay but she never knew that she would hurt herself in the process. She said that she foolishly bent her back on Akshay's arm while shooting for a song sequence in De Dana Dan and injured her back. He added that she should have warmed up before falling into Akshay's arms.

Katrina has injured her back and reeling in pain but she is not in the mood to disturb the schedule of the film. She is eager to join her family in London after wrapping up De Dana Dan and then go to Italy for a holiday. In spite of the pain, she is taking comfort in Akshay's words that the film would be a hit, as they have given their blood for it.

Well, Katrina still seems to have trust in Akshay

Katrina Kaif doesn't feel secured

Her Bollywood career may be at its peak but Katrina Kaif doesn't feel secured in life. It has nothing got to do with her on and off beau Salman Khan either. Katrina who stays at Waterfield Road in Bandra is desperately looking for a new house. The reason, well her house isn't safe anymore and off late there has been an increase in the number of intruders barging in.

Katrina had brought the apartment four years ago with her hard earned money. She confirms the lookout for a new house but says the expereince of house hunting hasn't been great owing to her celebrity status. The price of the property she likes is doubled when her name comes into the picture and it is getting increasingly dangerous to stay in her present residence.

Katrina is also bored with her solitude and is eagerly waiting for her sister Isabel Kaif to joins her in Mumbai to pursue a career in Bollywood. Isabel is still learning acting at the Lee Strasberg Institute. Well Katrina when the hottest hunk in Bollywood is your boyfriend you should not have fears about security!
