GOVINDA IN "NAUGHTY @ 40"

Is Govinda's next "NAUGHTY @ 40" a straight lift of Steve Carell's Hollywood sex comedy "THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN (2005)?" That's the question making the rounds of the industry ever since the film was announced. Though the voices died down due to two year delay in the completion of the film, they have found momentum all over again with the promos currently on air.

"THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN was about a nerdy guy who had never got his 'share of action' despite hitting 40 years of age. Things change for him when he comes across a single mom. Similarly Govinda's character too has not been exposed to birds and bees and things get tough for him when he travels from London to India in hunt of a bride", informs an industry source.

With no official word coming from the makers, the speculations were already on rise that whether just like Govinda's other stuck film BANDA YEH BINDAAS HAI' (which is facing issues due to it's similarities with MY COUSIN VINNY), even NAUGHTY @ 40 was struggling due to fear of copyright infringement. However the film's director Jugmohan Mundhra (aka Jag) is quick to deny any such similarities whatsoever.

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".

Sure, she’s become notorious for her YouTube hit “Friday,” but that’s not where Rebecca Black plans to leave her career.

According to TMZ, Ms. Black recently scored a 5-song album deal and she can’t wait to show the world that she’s more than just a one-hit wonder.

Rebecca told press, “I don’t wanna be known as the ‘Friday’ girl. Hopefully I can be known as Rebecca Black and not the ‘Friday’ girl.”

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.”

The film will go on floors in July and should be complete by December-January.

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.
