A superstar, who can direct, act and dance. Now that is what you call a heavy combination!!

SHAHRUKH AND KAREENA IN A NEW ROLE IN "RA.ONE"

It seems slang and foul language suits well Bollywood actress, Kareena Kapoor. Filmmakers, audiences love watching Kareena mouthing some cuss words.

It all started with her award winning film CHAMELI, where she played a prostitute with bindass attitude and used some swear & cheeky words. However it was in the film JAB WE MET when she uttered 'Tere Maa Ki ...' while abusing her beau, audiences went berserk watching her. Followed with the film GOLMAAL 3.

And now in her upcoming film RA.ONE Kareena would be once again seen hurling abuses. However, this time around on none other than Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan. In the recently released promo of RA.ONE we can see Kareena frenziedly raining gaalis on Shahrukh, who plays her husband in the film. Bebo is heard yelling, 'Tere baap ki... Tere tau ka poda...' She plays a bindaas Punjabi girl who doesn't worry about her lingo or what she is saying. However, her cute kid does remind her of the foul language every now and then.

Surprisingly whenever Kareena mouthed bad words it did wonders for the film and became a huge hit. Hope her abusive language do the same magic for RA.ONE too.

LARA DUTTA AND VINAY PATHAK IN "CHALO DILLI"

Eros International in association with Big Daddy production & Bheegi Basanti Entertainment, CHALO DILLI which is slated to release on 29th April 2011.

Directed by Shashant Shah and Produced under Dutta's husband Mahesh Bhupathi's production company, the movie stars Lara Dutta and Vinay Pathak in lead roles.

The music of the movie is given by Gourov Dasgupta, Anand Raj Anand, Sachin Gupta and Rohit Kulkarni.

Chalo Dilli is a road movie. A journey that begins with the dynamic Mihika Banerjea. A strong willed young woman who is a Senior Vice President of a top multinational Financial Institution in Mumbai. A jet setter, go-getter, no nonsense woman, Mihika divides the world into losers and winners and knows which side she is on. Mrs Clear Cut!

The premise is simple. Mihika is heading back home from Mumbai to Delhi (to her banker husband who lives and works there), and misses her flight and encounters Manu Gupta, a podgy and loud ' Ladies Cut-piece' merchant who has a small 10 by 10 shop at Karol Bagh Delhi.

Manu is everything that Mihika isn't. Loud. Crass. Obnoxious. Rude. (He is that guy who talks on his cellphone loudly in the theatre and then spits gutkaa juice in the aisle). He isn't an idiot. He is very smart. Street smart. But mostly over smart. And boy...do they pay for it!

As fate (and the script) would have it... Mihika lands up in a situation where she and Manu are stuck together for the rest of the journey to Delhi.

A bizarre journey full of adventure, madness and crazy comic moments with the oddest traveling couple ever! (She drinks Evian and while he is cool drinking from a bore well...She smokes Virginia Slims, he chews Gopal zarda)

A bizarre journey through air, road and rail from Mumbai, via Jaipur to Delhi.

A journey which along with these two protagonists showcases the real India. Its colorful and funny people and their eccentricities.

But above all it's a journey within for Mihika. Where the real growth happens on reaching her destination of Delhi... (Which is a big moment because getting home turns out to be tougher than she thought.)

And once she finally reaches Delhi (in a span of a day and a half), tired, worn out and with enough stories to tell her grandkids someday, the moral of the story dawns upon her.

"Do not judge people by face value..Including yourself".

Come. Be a part of the craziest roller coaster journey of your lives...with Mihika and Manu, and their resounding war cry "Chalo Dilli".

KATRINA KAIF IN LONDON

Katrina Kaif was in London recently. We are still not sure whether she was there for professional commitments or was she nursing a bruised heart.

A friend of the actress reveals, “She is heartbroken. She needed time to recover from the depression.
Her family’s concern was obvious and they ordered her home. Even before she left, she remained confined to her house.”

“The fact that both her relationships with prolific stars haven’t worked out “is hurting her to no end,” says the friend.

But Katrina maintains, “I was in London for an event of an airline I endorse.”

The actress returned on Tuesday and is shooting in Agra for Yash Raj’s Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.
