KARAN JOHAR TO MAKE K3G SEQUEL

Karan Johar's Dharma Productions is planning to make a sequel of its decade old blockbuster home production, KABHI KHUSHI KABHI GHAM.

Karan's plans for bringing back 'The Raichand' family on big screen are finally coming true.

In 2001, KABHI KHUSHI KABHI GHAM was a super hit, worldwide, with a business of Rs.200cr ($20 million). This was the first ever Bollywood movie to get a theatrical release in Germany (with German subtitles) and later on, it went on to getting dubbed in the German language.

On being asked by a friend about a sequel to his runaway hit K3G, Karan at first took it lightly and laughed it off. He thought it's financially impractical and most importantly, it's not a great idea for a film in the current age and days.

But when Senior AB gave thumbs up to the idea stating that 'sequel was not only possible but also desirable and only Karan can do it,' Karan couldn't say a 'No'!

Karan then admitted, 'It's a workable idea. I am no longer averse to it. It would be a bold step if I make it.' He further added, 'It's very strange. But all the six main members of the cast are as dear to me now as they were 10 years ago when I made the film. I'm sure they're as charged about the sequel as I am.'

KING KHAN, SHAHRUKH IN DON 2

If DON - THE CHASE BEGINS was deadly expect its sequel, DON 2 to be deadliest! Atleast this is what the first trailer promises to be. The King of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan returns as the deadliest and dangerous don in DON 2.

The trailer is a must watch for Shahrukh's grungy look, his trademark style, the way he flaunts 'D' tattoo lights cigar, the stylised action sequences and stunts and the corny dialogues mouthed by Don himself. The slickest shots, the pacy remix of prequel's version and with superstar's presence - the film is already giving a feel of blockbuster!

Like its first part, DON 2 has been written and directed by Farhan Akhtar. The music is given by Shankar Ehsaan and Loy.

If you thought its easy to do do away with DON, then indeed its not. As the
Don is back to settle his scores. As he rightly says in the film Ab mujhe koi nahi rok sakta.

Truly DON ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi naamunkin hai!

BOLLYWOOD FASHION ICON "SONAM KAPOOR" WITH SHAHID

Bollywood hottie Sonam Kapoor is known as a fashion icon. But this fashionista holds too many terms for a person to be her friend or even to talk to her! And what is that condition?

Well the condition is that the person should be stylized or rather 'Fashionable'! Can you believe it? But what if Shahid Kapoor himself divulges the fact about his new friend!

Recently Shahid Kapoor during the first look launch of his movie MAUSAM said, 'Sonam has very high fashion standards. She doesn't entertain people whose fashion standards don't match her. Therefore you have to dress and look in a certain way and get an approval on it! Fortunately through the making of this film I tried to educate myself on that and I hope that I'll have a stamp of approval on it!'

Well, Sonam like your unique fashion standards you also have unique sense of choosing friends!

AMEESHA PATEL TO START 2 BIG MOVIES

Ameesha's dil maange more! After confirming her plans to turn producer and roping in David dhawan to direct a film for her, she is now all set to make another big announcement where she would be kick-starting another film soon. Resultantly a big director has been signed for her second production, the details of which would be made public before end of this month. Ameesha is all excited about the plans and is quite sure that along with these two filmmakers, she would be ready to make GADAR all over again. As expected, she would be playing the lead in both the films.

'Incidentally she has worked with both of these directors in the past. While David Dhawan has directed her in YEH HAI JALWA, even this other director has called the shots for her. She was in constant touch with both her directors and once she expressed her desire to turn a producer, both of them readily agreed,' informs a friend of Ameesha.

Ameesha too confirms this piece of information but wants another fortnight for herself before she makes the declaration. 'All I can say as of now is that I would be playing the lead in both the films. I am happy to find myself in this space all over again where I am making quality films that boast of good storylines. KAHO NAA PYAAR HAI, HUMRAAZ, GADAR, MANGAL PANDEY - Hallmark of all these films was they were content based and well made. My next films would follow the same core principles as well,' says Ameesha who was last seen on the big screen three years ago in THODA PYAAR THODA MAGIC.

CASEY ANTHONY'S ATTORNEY - SHE IS INNOCENT

It’s no secret that many Americans are outraged at Casey Anthony's acquittal on murder charges, but her defense attorney Cheney Mason says he’s sure she didn’t kill her daughter Caylee.

During an interview this morning, Mason explained, “I do believe her story. I believed it from the first time I met her.”

Cheney also noted, “I have never for one minute had any doubt at all. She did not kill her child. Period. I don’t think her story has changed from the very beginning.’’

As for what’s next for his client, Mason declared, “I don’t know [where she will go], and if I did, I wouldn’t tell you. Yes, we are all concerned about her safety and her future, but one thing at a time.”

“It’s as much her country as anybody else’s. She just needs to have some time and counseling and be re-introduced to society. She’s been in lockdown for 23 hours a day for three years.’’

SUNNY WANTS TO RESUME HIS RIVALRY WITH SHAHRUKH

Plans are being formed up to release Sunny Deol's "I LOVE NEW YEAR" on Christmas eve. So far so good. The only hitch (and a big one at that) is that Shahrukh Khan's DON 2 is slated to arrive on the same day i.e. 23rd December. Since there is a back story behind this decision, it makes the clash all the more interesting.

For the uninitiated, it was more than a decade and a half ago when things soured between Sunny and Shahrukh. For Yash Chopra's psychological dramatic thriller DARR, Sunny was the chosen one as the lead hero while Shahrukh was to play a quintessential villain. However as the film progressed, so impressed was Chopra Sr. with Shahrukh that the BAAZIGAR boy ended up being a hero who went away with all the sympathies while Sunny's presence seemed like a cameo.

'Ever since then Sunny had soured all relationships with Chopras and Shahrukh,' continues the source, 'So when an opportunity came to hit back where it hurt the most, Sunny isn't shying away and has now given a go-ahead for his romantic comedy to take on Shahrukh's thriller.'

ANUSHKA - THE MOST HOTTEST AND SEXY BABE

Hollywood most hottest and sexiest, Anushka Sharma might prefer to maintain a low profile but her body of work is not letting her do that. And this is not going well with her contemporaries, including some of her senior colleagues in town. The buzz is that Anushka's growing popularity has become a matter of concern for a few Bollywood babes.

Anushka, on her part attributes her current phase to hard work and good luck. Talking about her success story so far, the actress says, "I have been fortunate to be part of films that gets the audiences' approval. Moreover the fact that I get to work with the top stars in Bollywood has always helped my films in a big way and thus my career so far. I only believe in giving my best and rest is just falling in place."

Though Anushka makes no efforts to impress her competitors but she ends up doing it eventually. With her raising stocks and the raising envy levels among her contemporaries, let's hope Anushka has many more successes to claim.
