Saif Ali apologized!

Saif Ali Khan was offered Feroz Khan's 'Qurbani' but he turned down because of his hectic schedule. "I think the timing was wrong. My plate is completely full now," Saif said in a recent interview. Saif Ali is now busy shooting Siddharth Anand's new film with Rani Mukherji.

"Siddharth's film requires all my attentions. I met Feroz Khan in Dubai recently and apologized for not being able to do his film," said Saif.  

Abhishek Bachchan refused to follow Aishwarya抯 footsteps!

While other Bollywood stars are still debating over Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss' plea that stars should stay away from endorsing aerated drinks, as it is not healthy for children, Abhishek Bachchan, we hear, has taken the advice rather seriously.

He has refused to take part in the cola war and is not endorsing any particular brand. His logic is simple: Since he doesn't like to drink aerated drinks himself, he won't endorse them. Now that makes sense, doesn't it?

Wonder what good friend Aishwarya Rai and all the other stars who are still endorsing colas have to say to this?

When Shah Rukh Khan missed Abhishek Bachchan in New York

Recently, there were unconfirmed reports of rifts between Shah Rukh Khan and the Bachchans

Why Bipasha Basu is sad these days

Rumours are rife that Bipasha Basu and John Abraham are having some serious problems.

Reports are that the cracks began appearing in their relationship since April when John was shooting in Afghanistan for Kabul Express .

At that time Bipasha was shooting in Rio for Dhoom 2 . She was very disturbed and everyone thought that it was because it was because of John.

Says a close source, 揙ne day after having a conversation with John over the phone, the bong actress simply broke down and began weeping profusely. She confided in Abhishek Bachchan with whom she shares a close friendship.

Krrish & Super-man are cousins: Hrithik Roshan

In London, Hrithik Roshan currently the toast of the movie-watching hemisphere for his super-hero's act in Krissh, is stunned to hear about young fans trying his heart-in-the-mouth stunts.

"Please tell them not to. Those action scenes are dangerous. They were undertaken by me under close supervision and required immense training, focus and labour to be done correctly. And besides, a super-hero to me isn't one who jumps across buildings and glides over rivers like Krissh.

A super-hero is one extends a helping hand to one who needs it. To that extent, there's a Krissh in everyone out there.I'd be happy if kids touched people's lives instead of trying to imitate my stunts. "

He pauses to reflect. "I'm truly thankful for the way kids have reacted to Krissh. It's beyond anything we expected. But let me also add that it's a fantasy film. The action scenes are meant to be enjoyed, not imitated.

I'll tell kids something I've not revealed so far. During the circus fire-sequence my hair got burnt in the front of my head. Fortunately it grew back before the next schedule. I don't think the hereditary baldness is going to strike me for a long time. At least not until I do the third film in the super-hero series."

The third film is definitely happening. "My secret fantasy is to bring together all the characters from Koi 匨il Gaya and Krissh 桼ohit, Krishna, Krissh, Jadoo and the super-villain梚n the next film. But for that my young fans must stop scaring me by trying to do my stunts in Krissh.

I did the action scenes with full safety precaution. I was guided by an action team of forty people. I watched action films from all over the world to get a hang of it. But I finally decided Krissh would be a unique super-hero.

Unlike any of his counterparts on celluloid like Superman or Spiderman. That's why I did away with the thought of a double doing my stunts. No body-double matched my body language or my movements.

I knew if I took the easy way out and allowed a dupe to shoot the action scenes my audience will immediately spot the difference, and the film would fall apart.

I therefore took it on myself to shoot all the action scenes. To maintain measured elegant hand and feet movements while flying through mid-air I watched the long-jumpers at the Olympics and how they held their bodies in gravity-defying positions.

If you notice, Krissh is unlike other super-heroes in one detail. His super-powers extend themselves according to the need of the hour. Therefore there's no end to Krissh's heightened powers. Let's see where he takes them in the next film."

Now when Superman is around the corner how would Krissh cope with the competition? "You must understand that the budget for Krissh is 9 million dollars. Which is what one action sequence in Superman would cost. Having said that I must say Superman and Krissh are cousins.

They both belong to the super-hero league. I see no clash between them. We're hoping Krissh will take our cinema to places that it doesn't normally go to. The emotions in Krissh are culture-specific and yet universal. You don't have to be Indian to understand what Krissh stands for."

Big B lets you win: Abhishek

You never beat Amitabh Bachchan who lets you win, says a modest Bachchan junior after emerging on the top spot in the 'Best supporting actor' category at both IIFA and Filmfare, for which his father was also nominated.

"I think it's a privilege to share the frame with him," Abhishek Bachchan says. The father-son duo share screen space in the forthcoming Karan Johar flick Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.

After a string of box office failures, the Bollywood star is finally emerging on his own to taste commercial and critical success.

"Keep trying is the best piece of advice my parents have given me," Bachchan says, something that helped him through his lean phase.

The ubersexual hunk who is also starring in a sequel - Dhoom II - and a remake - Umrao Jaan feels that while a remake is a director's interpretation of the story, a sequel has to be unique.

The 29-year-old believes that these are interesting times for an actor. "The day of the niche is over. No longer is the actor an angry young man, the romantic or action hero. There is everything in one movie and the job of the actor is to entertain," says Bachchan, who was here last week for a promotional event.

AB Corps, the production house that had pushed the Bachchans to penury and later been revived, is making five movies, two of them starring the junior Bachchan himself.

About the parallel with his father's career trajectory where Amitabh saw a row of flops followed by phenomenal success and then lost almost everything only to emerge phoenix-like, Abhishek says he'd love to replicate everything his father's been through, lows included.

"I treat the lows just like the high," he says.

Bachchan says his family and the love of the audience are important for him. He admits though that "money is important because it's a commercial world."

For someone who is considered a style icon, Bachchan says he leaves it to his mother to decide on what he will wear. He says he sports the rings on the finger because it brings a smile on his mother's face.

On his Hollywood plans, Bachchan says that at the moment he's focussing on projects within India.

Rapid fire with Hrithik Roshan

How do you perceive a superhero?
A superhero is one who uses whatever powers he is gifted with in the right manner to help others. You don抰 have to jump from building to building to achieve that. You can do the same by extending a helping hand to those in pain. As 慘rrish

Mallika and Salman to make mauj

When a film has an unusual lead pair, it increases curiosity and garners good initial collection at the box-office. Like when Aamir Khan and Kajol starred together for the first time in Fanaa. According to a reliable source, the next pair we will see together on the silver screen will be Salman Khan and Mallika Sherawat.

We抳e already said that Sherawat will do a Goldie Hawn in Fauj Mein Mauj, a desi  version of Private Benjamin. To be directed by Priyadar shan抯 erstwhile assistant, Murli Nagavalli for producer Ravi Walia, the film traces what happens when a young widow joins the army.

Fauj... takes a funny view of how life for the cadets changes when she joins them. There will be two men opposite Sherawat, one who briefly plays her husband and the other who meets as a cadet.

While the male leads have not yet been announced, our source tells us, 揑n all probability, Salman will play the lead opposite Mallika,

'Salman's not the only one who can go topless'

You ain't seen nothin' yet, baby, says newcomer Upen Patel who wants to be Bollywood's sex symbol and superstar rolled into one.

He doesn't underplay the fact that he's got a great bod and what's more, he likes showing it off too! Upen Patel's shirtless act at a recent awards ceremony had girls swooning over him and Upen couldn't be happier about that.

So is he going the Salman Khan way? "Salman's not the only one who can go shirtless, I can do it, too. Besides I don't follow anybody, I create my own style," says Upen.

His confidence has also been boosted by his debut film, 36 Chinatown. His song, Aashiqui, being touted as an item number, has become a huge hit. So will we see Upen doing more such item numbers in future? "I don't mind being labelled an item boy and am comfortable with my sexuality," says the Brit born actor.

He adds, "But that was just a teaser, you'll see more of me in my forthcoming biggie which is a Sunil Darshan film. It's a typical Bollywood film and I play the pucca hero."

So now he's off to South Africa for a month to shoot for the film with Bobby Deol and Celina Jaitley. "I've signed eight films and this is just the beginning, but I can't wait to become a superstar," says Upen.

And he's on the road to superstardom, he believes, with his career going great guns. He's been vocal, too, that the upswings happened since his split with Amrita Arora. "Yes, and I still stand by that. It's been three years now and my life has been absolutely great. And I'm still single."

But some recent reports and buzz in the media prove otherwise. Pictures of Upen smooching model Shamita Singha in a swimming pool were splashed in the glossies. Something brewing there?

"Oh that was just a private moment caught in public glare. I think it's just been blown out of proportion. Things aren't serious as yet, but let's see how it turns out in the future," says Upen.

Talking about women, any thoughts on what his ideal woman should be? "Absolutely not! That's because I want my ideal woman to come searching for me."

But he does know the perfect formula for his dream film. "It's got to have loads of action, sexy babes and hi-fi gadgets, that's me!"

Is Shahrukh Khan the King Khan ?

Recently in an interview Shahrukh Khan declared that he is the King Khan .. he is the Ronaldinho of acting !! But a recent opinion poll by Hindustan Times found that Aamir Khan was the real King Khan according to the majority of online users.

Aamir Khan 抯 recent hits like Faana and Rang De Basanti are fresh in the minds of viewers and his experimentations surely helped Aamir win a lot of hearts. Users thought Shahrukh Khan was repetitive. But the poll was based on responses from less than 1700 users and we all know how biased a poll could be. A simple endorsement by a website or a forum can tilt a 1700 votes survey completely to the other side.

But the poll was not so surprising as Shahrukh Khan has been away from the limelight for quite a few months. Shahrukh Khan movies are no doubt huge crowd pullers with fans from all ages and all over the world. Though after the Brazil France match, we are not sure if Shahrukh Khan will still use the Ronaldinho comparison !! Shahrukh Khan is surely one of the best actors Bollywood has produced and he has proved time and again that he is the one of the most bankable Bollywood stars today.

When we talk of Khans, the poll should have included the other big Khan .. Salman Khan . Salman has a huge fan base and though he has his problems with the law, he has fared very well in the box office and has a huge fan following. Salman Khan does not rely on any specific formula but still continues to be the sweetheart of the female fans. At our desifans.com StarWars hoTTest celeb contest, Salman Khan actually beat Shahrukh Khan in the semi finals !! So our own Sallu bhai is not far behind in the war of Khans.

But the fact remains that Shahrukh Khan has been very profitable for Bollywood, churning hits after hits while Aamir Khan was very selective in doing his one-movie per year.. while Salman Khan has been busy with his problems with the law. There are a few young Khans and some older Khans

Hrithik Roshan to take Bollywood to new heights.
