Salman Khan is not only a superstar but he unexpectedly does amazing acts and shocks most people.

He recently congratulated Aishwarya and Abhishek on their pregnancy at a Blackberry application launch event.

"I would like to congratulate Abhishek and Aishwarya. I hope they make a cricket team,"

"I am happy for the Dadaji (Amitabh). "

The star is genuine about the things he does. I observed that although he and Aish had a bad end to their relationship but Salman has been chill for a very long time...although Aishwarya often gets uncomfortable in his presence and avoids him till this day. She has not forgiven him for all that happened between the two.

Anyway, good going Salman! It was sweet to pass congratulatory comments on this happy occasion.

The world is over joyed today after hearing the news that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is pregnant. It seems like the whole world is expecting a baby. However, this good news was revealed by Amitabh Bachchan himself as he tweeted late on Tuesday night:

"NEWS NEWS NEWS!! I AM GOING TO BECOME A GRANDFATHER..AISHWARYA EXPECTING .. SO HAPPY AND THRILLED !!!"

It is going to be the couple's first child. Before this confirmed announcement, there was lots of media speculation in the gossips section of almost all the major publications regarding Aishwarya's weight. Anyhow, there is no indication of when the baby is due, but we will of course find that out too. The whole world will wait for the baby and now there will be more talk of yet another Bachchan to enter the film fraternity already and for the next 20 years or so.

Big B also tweeted later on that he was overwhelmed to see the response of his followers on Twitter since within half an hour after the good news, he received some 2843 congratulatory tweets.

The Bachchan fans started gathering outside the Bachchan residence - Jalsa but they failed to see the would be parents. While the Bollywood stars (Prinyanka Chopra, Rana Daggubati, Ritesh Deshmukh etc ) started tweeting their congratulatory messages without wasting a second.

We wish them a very happy pregnancy and hope everything will go just well.

Sometime ago I read a review on Dum Maaro Dum on somebody's blog. Based on it, I thought the movie must be completely a piece of shit. The guy mentioned that the movie was a mixture of too many old flicks, that people didn't act, Abhishek was crap, Bipasha looked like a useless sex bomb etc

Till then, I only had a vivid experience of watching the new Dum Maaro Dum song of the movie in which Deepika Padukone was the sexy item girl. It was a complete disappointment when I heard...unchay se uncha banda, potty pe bethay nanga. I agree, everybody shits like that but sorry I give no marks for such pathetic creativity even if Deepika is dancing her ass off in such a song. She looked hot but I could not give any points to the bad lyrics.

However, when I saw Dum Maaro Dum, I felt the review I read was more than biased. In my opinion, it was a fairly decent movie for one time viewing. We can't expect every movie to be a super duper hit. I was more than happy to see Abhishek act nicely in this one. I hated him in Game in which he was being way too over smart. Abhishek has put on a lot of weight. In fact, as I recall, there was a very short time span when Abhishek looked really handsome. For quite sometime, I can only recall his round face. Nevertheless, I found his role and acting incredible. It is painful to see good actors not act nicely when they actually can.

The best part of the movie was Rana Daggubati. I never knew him till I followed updates of this movie. Anyway, he is a genuinely good actor. And I found him fairly decent looking as well.

However, Bipasha Basu offered nothing new. She should pack up I believe. She can not act and she has exposed enough earlier. I like actresses who can act at least. I remember, all the while during the promotions of the movie she was more worried about the fact that Deepika was offered the item song and not her. She needs to get a life. Deepika is the new face in the industry after all. Other than that, she was also facing rumors of link ups with Rana Daggubati. It aint surprising, Bipasha does fall for men shortly time and again.

The worst and most unimpressive was Prateik Babbar. I felt, all this while we have all been fooled. We all thought he is such an amazing actor. Well, he would have the sparks inherited through his incredible acting genes but in this movie, he looked and acted pathetically. They could have easily done without him in this movie. Any unknown actor could have carried that role better than him. His accent and curls were irritable.

Aditya Pancholi has never done anything worthwhile in his career and similar was this movie. He is one person I don't consider an actor.

Most of the movie was great except the scene when Aditya Pancholi lost his sanity completely after loosing his stored drugs, they showed a blurry kissing scene, a provocative love making scene and then he was suddenly killed. The very last part of the movie was not that greatly done.

Like I said, the movie was ok but Abhishek and Rana were good. The story was not as bad or confused as I read in the review. It was fairly focused on the drug mafia of Goa. It was quite sad to see a few good characters die in their battle against the drug mafia. Rest up, it was not that bad to watch at least once.

It is being said that Telegu star Rana Daggubati has been the real crowd puller for Rohan Sippy's 'Dum Maaro Dum' in and around Hyderabad.

Rana Daggubati is quite popular in these areas and he definitely helped in getting in more crowds in the cinemas. Apart from that the film's title and a strong star cast with Abhishek Bachchan, Bipasha Basuand Prateik Basu has not failed Rohan Sippy at all.

The thriller has gained some Rs. 6.2 crore in India on its opening day. In Mysore's it's box office collection is the highest among all Bollywood films released in 2011 so far. Thus, with such a start, they are hoping the film will do well over all.

Actually, I feel Rana Daggubati is not that bad looking. In fact, he is actually the only interesting person in the movie for me at least. Bipasha and Abhishek have not impressed us recently in anyway. Abhishek is consistently portraying these over smart roles that can be irritable. Bipasha can not act and was more focused on bitching about Deepika throughout the promotions. Prateik is a good actor but he is not the centre of attention here nor does he appear so powerful in presence at the moment. Thus, that leaves Rana Daggubati who is the main crowd puller for his Telegu fans at least.

Dum Maaro Dum is now all set to be released as the Bombay High Court disposed of a petition seeking a ban on the release of the film. The controversial portions of the film has been deleted.

Justice S.C. Dharmadhikari and Justice F.M. Reis disposed the petition. Savio Rodrigues filed the petition claiming that the film showed Goa, especially the women of Goa inappropriately. According to him, the movie portrayed Goa in an indecent way and would affect the state's tourism.

Now, the inappropriate dialogues have been deleted from the film. Thedialogue, 'In Goa, liquor is cheap and women cheaper' has been removed, which Bipasha was seen delivering in the promos. The word 'women' has been replaced with the word 'relationships' in the promos.

Thus, the film will be released with an 'A' certificate as the censor board has given the movie a go ahead. Unlike the claims, the censor board stated the film did not promote drugs in Goa but was based on the fight against the drug mafia.

Dum Maaro Dum will be released on April 22nd globally. The cast includes Abhishek Bachchan, Bipasha Basu, Rana Daggubati and Prateik Babbar.

After hearing the crappy 'Dum Maaro Dum' song with the sexy Deepika Padukone one would hardly feel really happy or relaxed. Especially the senior actors in the film fraternity would not fall for such crap.

The word is out that both Dev Anand and Zeenat Aman are quite unhappy and upset with the new 'Dum Maaro Dum' song which was inspired by the all time classic song from the 1972 film 'Hare Rama Hare Krishna'. In the original version we saw Zeenat Aman. While Deepika played her part as the item girl pretty well - the over all song had terrible lyrics that didn't do wonders for the film. More or less, it just got the film some negative pre-release reviews.

While promoting for his new film, Abhishek Bachchan had to answer a lot of queries regarding the song and how it has angered the senior actors, to which he responded in a defensive mode. He clarified that the song is not even a remix as it is being labelled. Only the words 'Dum Maaro Dum' were taken from the original song with due permission of the seniors.

But he said further, 'Everyone here is a huge fan of the original. We have immense respect and love for Dev saab and Zeenat aunty and we are not in anyway trying to upset them. We have utmost respect for them.'

He added, 'We are here to entertain people and not take on our seniors. We are too insignificant to try and compete with a legend like Dev Sahab.'

It must be a tough task to fight for such a pathetic song!

Just yesterday, we reported how Karan Johar has clarified that for the time being everybody should forget about Dostana 2 because the script issues are not ending.

Today, we get to know that Priyanka Chopra who rocked in the original Dostana was a bit angry on queries whether she would be starring in the sequel to Dostana or would she make a special appearance.

An angry and annoyed Piggy Chops tweeted this to shut everyone up, 'I was never doing dostana two...hello...reason bein my love story ends in the first film...so where is the question. this was cleared some 2 years ago.'

Not only this, she added more to leave no room for doubts, 'And whn it comes to a special appearance or something thats a much later call, one and for all.'

Wow! Doesn't she sound damn pissed off from these tweets? Sometimes, I don't understand why do celebrities over react so much. Twitter has become their major source of venting out frustrations or passing messages to media.

She is an actress - it is her job to work in movies and talk to media - that is precisely what makes these guys stars. So why is she so pissed off if she is being asked something about a project she once worked in? Is it because her part ended in the original movie already or is it just plain arrogance?

The moment Dostana became a box office hit with sexy Priyanka Chopra, smoking hot John Abraham in his trunks and Abhishek Bachchan in a pink car, Karan Johar announced openly that he would make a sequel for it.

We even heard that Karan was quite excited about the sequel and had already made up his mind to cast Katrina Kaif in it.

However, as of today, the news is that Dostana 2 is pretty much not happening. The issue is that Karan Johar is having huge differences with Tarun Mansukhani regarding the script. Tarun has failed several times to produce a script according to Karan's high expectations.

According to sources, the first half of the film is ok but Tarun is unable to make a much better and interesting second half for the sequel. Obviously, Karan wants the sequel to have an ever better end than the original part.

This means that the news that Katrina to replace Priyanka are all not significant since no top actress would work in a movie with an incomplete script. Sad news for all Dostana fans but I am sure sooner or later, the script will get finalized and we will see the sequel on screens some day.

Hrithik Roshan has started shooting for Agneepath's remake, which is being produced by Dharma productions. In the remake version, Hrithik will play the role of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan and Sanjay Dutt will play the role of Kaancha Seth.

The original movie was a box office hit and won many best actor awards for Amitabh Bachchan and supporting actor awards for Mithun Chakraborty in 1990.

When it was announced that Hrithik would be playing the new Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, Abhishek Bachchan suffered from a fit of jealousy. He even hinted his dismay on Koffee with Karan in a so called cool way. Perhaps, he feels he is the only one who can portray the roles his father has done.

Karan Johar made is clear that the remake will have quite a few different things like there is going to be no character of Mithun Chakraborty and a few other things will change too but the crux of the story will remain the same.

Hrithik was busy shooting in Versova for he filmm and he accidentally hurt himself while acting in a scene where he was breaking a coconut on the ground. His had was bleeding and there was a deep cut. The shoot was stopped till Hrithik was given first aid.

An opportunist senior unit member who was there when the little accident took place expressed his emotions that do not consider it sadistic pleasure but it is a superstition that whenever any actor is injured and bleeds on the sets, the film turns out to be a super hit.

Perhaps this man was trying to please Karan Johar. I don't think the superstition is that true. Remember Amitabh Bachchan's film Koolie...the man ended up with major health problems but the movie was not a hit.

Dhoom 3 has received lots of pre-hype buzz from the time people heard names like Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif being associated with the project.

We are quite aware of the consistent characters of the Dhoom sequels - Abhishek Bachchan as ACP Jai Dixit and Uday Chopra as Ali. Only the baddies are changed every time with John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan and now Aamir Khan to take charge of the darker roles.

However, Rimi Sen who played the role of Abhishek's wife (Sweety Dixit) in Dhoom and Dhoom 2 is absolutely out of the scene.

When she was contacted she candidly said that she had a substantial role in Dhoom but in Dhoom 2 it was merely a special appearance. She said she has not been contacted to play the role in Dhoom 3 as yet but if she will get the call, she doesn't want it to be some guest appearance. She wants a substantial role in the next venture.

Honestly, for me her role was always a very small insignificant role in the previous Dhoom ventures also. She was just showing skin in the first part if that is substantial enough for her and in the second part she was pregnant. Even if she will get a call this time, it is quite a big thing for an actress like her to be part of big projects such as Dhoom. I doubt there will be any SUBSTANTIAL role for her.

Ram Gopal Varma was quite impressed to see Kangna Ranaut's amazing performances in movies like Gangster and Woh Lamhe. He always wanted to cast her in his movie but in a meaningful and important role.

So, it has been confirmed that Kangna will work in Ram Gopal's next dark action drama - 'Department'. He will cast her opposite Abhishek Bachchan. Yes, they were already working together, though not as a couple in GAME but this time round Kangna will play the role of Abhishek's wife.

Department is a story about three cops who want to do extra constitutional activities to maintain the safety of the society. Hmmm, this doesn't sound like such a new idea.

Anyway, Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt and Abhishek are the three cops. Kangna is the only lady in the movie and her role is intense and significant in the sense that she is the only person with whom Abhishek will be able to talk about his agony.

I always knew Kangna Ranaut's time will come and it seems that it has arrived now with all the biggies casting her in their projects!

Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have decided to work together in Raj Kumar Sontoshi's romantic comedy - "Ladies and Gentleman".

A few years ago, she refused to work in Dostana because the female character chose to go with another man. She thought Abhi-Ash fans would not have liked that much. But the couple has worked in all sorts of movies over the years from Dhai Akshar Prem Ke to Raavan.

This is the first time, they will work in a romantic comedy where Abhishek will play the role of a hard core womanizer. Aishwarya does not mind Abhishek romancing other girls on screen in Ladies and Gentleman.

Raj Kumar Santoshi is happy to have Aishwarya in this movie because he offered this role to her five years ago also but it seems like it was in her destiny to play this character.

He said, this comedy takes him back to the genre of Andaz Apna Apna but here the humor is not going to be slapstick.

Though Bollywood is saddened by the recent death of Navin Nischol, a few celebrities expressed their sorrow and respect for the late actor on Twitter.

Navin Nischol was a good man. Aloof but helpful. We shared some nice moments during 'Khosla ka Ghosla'. Sad he is no more. RIP," veteran star Anupam Kher posted.

Former beauty queen-turned-actress Diya Mirza, who shared screen space with Nischol once, wrote: "Actor Navin Nischol played my father in 'Rehna Hain Tere Dil Mein'... Saddened by the news of his demise... RIP."

"Very sad to hear of the passing of Mr. Navin Nischol. may his soul rest in peace. he will be missed (sic)," posted Abhishek Bachchan.

National award winning filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar wrote: "Sad to hear about the demise of Navin Nischol. Very good actor & a gr8 human being. The industry will miss him. May his soul rest in peace."

Actor Ashish Chowdhry said: "Mum had the biggest crush ever on Navin Nischol. Dad and her had the cutest quarrels over it. We'll all miss him so much. Bless his handsome soul."

Sarah Jane Dias in 2007 when she became Miss India.

Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha

Sarah Jane Dias is the new girl who loves to talk, talk and talk to the media. The first time I read about her on this blog was when she was talking about Ranbir and Abhishek endlessly in her interview. Then I reported how she talks about her accent and that people mistake her as someone who cannot speak in Hindi at all.

Recently, she revealed that she wants to be a perfectionist just like the legends of Hindi cinema. She has set plans for herself to work hard on her dialogue delivery and reach the level that has been set by AMITABH BACHCHAN and REKHA.

Well that is quite a noble thought by Sarah but I think this is a daunting task. Amitabh and Rekha -they are the gods of acting. She can learn a thing or two from actors like Tushaar Kapoor or Arshad Warsi perhaps...that should be good enough for her if she gets too many roles after GAME.

Abhishek Bachchan is known for his humble remarks and gratitude over the years. Although, the brilliant actor has not received too many awards nor has he given lots of box office hits but he is still quite a natural actor.

Recently he tweeted that he is so happy that he is one of the very few actors from his generation to have worked with the amazing trio of Amar Akbar Anthony. He considers it to be an honor to have worked with super stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor and Vinod Khanna - the three lead actors of the 1977 super hit film. Abhishek feels humbled that in just over a decade he got the chance to work with these three fine actors of the Hindi cinema.

This is what Abhishak tweeted:

"Just did my 1st shot with Vinod uncle for 'Players'. I can now proudly say that I've worked with AMAR AKBAR ANTHONY!! awesomeness!"

"Don't know many actors of my generation that have been lucky enough to say that."

Abhishek is now 35 years old. He has already worked with his father Amitabh Bachchan in many movies like Bunty Aur Babli, Sarkar, Sarkar Raj, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and Paa. He worked with Rishi Kapoor in Delhi 6. And now he is working with Vinod Khanna in Players - the Hindi remake of The Italian Job.

Sara Jane Dias said lately, "I just shot a commercial with Ranbir Kapoor a few days ago for Pepsi and he again, like Abhishek Bachchan, is so down to earth and a great guy."

Sarah Jane Dias is working in the movie Game.

She further adds, "Despite the fact that he is from a filmy royalty, he is really well read and well spoken. He knows how to hold a conversation and it's nice to be able to meet people like Ranbir Kapoor because it's only when you meet such people you come to know that they are normal."

Ranbir Kapoor is well read (?) Now that is news. He’s a decent flirt. He’s so natural that anyone might respond to him. He has that charm no doubt, but I don’t think he sounds well read. And more importantly, Sarah Jane Dias herself does not know who is well read & who is not.

So impressed with Ranbir's professionalism, she said, "He is a thorough professional. He comes on the sets, does his work and then leaves the moment the shoot is over. No more time to loiter around."

Sarah Jane Dias has leave behind a sycophant I know in real life. She didn’t talk about her work, she talked about Ranbir. And she has only worked with him in an ad. We are sure Ranbir must have given her equal importance. That’s how some people do it, baby.

She ends the talk but not before confessing her favourite Ranbir Kapoor film. "I loved him in Raajneeti and Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahaani."

Seriously I have the urge to puke now but people are like that. They just say nice things about celebrities. God knows they really mean it or they just lie for the sake of lying.
