PREITY ZINTA TURNS GANSTER

Dimpled beauty Preity Zinta is all set to return to the big screen with Tigmanshu Dhulia’s "Jai Ramji". And news has it that shedding her lovey-dovey image the actress for the first time will play the role of a gangster!

With IPL and TV assignments keeping our damsel busy, Priety has been missing from the Bollywood action for quite some time. And much to everyone’s’ surprise, the actress has decided to make a comeback with an unorthodox role.

Director Tigmanshu Dhulia who shot to fame with the 2003 hit `Haasil`, confirmed, saying, "Preity Zinta liked the script and has agreed to work in the film. However, I have not yet formally signed her, as she is busy with IPL and is not in Mumbai. The formalities should be completed once she is back in the city."

Talking about the film, Dhulia further said, "It is a gangster movie, set in eastern UP. Preity will be a part of the gang. The rest of the cast includes, Arjun Rampal, Irrfan Khan and Randeep Hooda.”

JOSLYN JAMES ON THE BEACHES OF MIAMI

Surely not shy when it comes to showing a little skin, Joslyn James was busy flaunting her figure during a racy beach shoot in Miami.

The adult film star tossed on a silver see-through top with black bottoms as she rocked a wild new hairdo while crawling along the sandy sunshine state shoreline.

For those unfamiliar with Miss James, the brunette beauty made a name for herself after being among the many former flings of golf pro Tiger Woods.

Meanwhile, the bikini beach shoot followed a run of three appearances by Joslyn at Spearmint Rhino Gentlemen’s Club in West Palm Beach - with the porn star making a substantial donation to the Chad Peery Benefit Fund.

The cause is directed to help Peery, an Oklahoma City police offer, who was beaten horribly and suffered a broken neck after trying to assist with disorderly fans at an Oklahoma City Thunder basketball game.

Of the charitable giving, James told press, “The story just broke my heart. I’ll never understand how people can commit such savage acts against each other. I am very proud to be able to do what little I can to help this man and his family."

ZAYED KHAN IN A SPORTS BASED FILM

Zayed Khan may have dropped plans to make his much talked about "Welcome to the Jungle" with Hrithik Roshan. However he would now be making an altogether different film which has a contemporary setting to it and, in his own words, is a 'coming of age' story. The film would have sports as its theme and would go on floors later this year.

"This film would be a whole new ballgame for us. No pun intended", chuckles Zayed who is currently making another film for his production house - "Love, Break Ups, Zindagi", "It would be a sports based film and something which would be totally new. It is wonderful to interact with my dad on this film because despite the generation gap, he is so clued into today's times. He knows what we are talking about and in fact gives suggestions to make the film even more progressive."

The film would also mark the return of Sanjay Khan as a producer after a quarter of a century. His last production was "Kala Dhandha Gorey Log" which had released way back in 1986. Faruk Kabir (of "Allah Ke Banday" fame) would be at the helm of direction.

"Faruk being from the same age group as mine is pretty refreshing actually since his thinking his so out of the box," gushes Zayed, "I like his vision around presenting stories differently. Look at "Allah Ke Banday"; he refrained from treating it as just another gangster film since that genre has been done to death. Faruk is someone fresh, new and hungry for his work to be seen. He has got it in him to do the job right."

While Zayed is not willing to reveal the title of the film yet, he does mention that a formal announcement would be made soon that would reveal the rest of the cast including the leading ladies. "Rest assured, this is one sports based story that you have never heard before", he says.

KOENA MITRA PLAYS A BISEXUAL IN "THE STORY OF NAOMI"

Koena Mitra was last in news when she had a milkshake named after her. Since then, the news columns have been missing her as the girl had shifted her base to LA and was hunting hard for a Hollywood project. After putting in a lot of efforts, the girl has started her first Hollywood film, Story of Naomi, being produced by Michael Hirshenson of the When Harry Met Sally fame and directed by the ace fashion photographer Ash Gupta.

The movie has Koena play a bisexual girl who gets attracted to men and women equally. The movie also features actor Kevin Sorbo and Chris Devicchio. The first poster of the film shows Koena getting intimate with another girl.

Producer Hirshenson is all praises for Koena and says, “She looks international and her discipline and hard work can take her places. It all depends on how much she’s ready to learn.”

And it seems, the producer is quite right as this model-turned-actress has worked on her accent and was taking classes for it as the West puts more stress on dubbing and other technicalities.

All we can say is ‘Way to Go Girl’!!
