Bachchan versus Bachchan... again!

Looks like two Bachchan Sr. starrers will collide on same day. A couple of weeks ago, the makers of Teen Patti had officially announced the release date of their film [4th December]. On the other hand, the makers of Paa had confirmed November for their film. However, the makers of Paa decided to re-schedule the release date and have now confirmed 4th December, coinciding with the release of Teen Patti.
The question is, will two Bachchan starrers arrive in the same week? In the past, Shootout At Lokhandwala and Cheeni Kum had released on the same date. Prior to that, Aetbaar and Khakee had clashed on the same Friday.
While on release dates, at least two actors may be biting their nails in anxiety. While Wanted has just released, Salman will have two more releases - Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna and London Dreams in the same month, on 16th October and 30th October,

'This Oberoi Towers' screamed the headlines of a million newspapers, immediately after his debut film Company. No prizes for guessing as to whom are we referring to, as it is indeed none other than the one and only Vivek Oberoi, who celebrates his grand birthday today!
Hailing from a filmi background (his father Suresh Oberoi); Bollywood was the but-obvious destination for this Gen-Next fiery actor! That's why, after graduating in academics, he wasted no time in graduating into a razor sharp actor with his debut film Company itself! What followed after that was a series of vehicles viz. Road, Dum, Saathiya, Shootout at Lokhandwala, Masti, Yuva, Kaal, Omkara etc...that he rode on the road of Bollywood to reach the location that he has reached today! Join Bollywood Hungama as we wish this man a very Happy Birthday by posting your wishes below:

Apoorva Lakhia's next based on Khalistan movement starring Sanjay Dutt, Big B

Realism has never been more in demand. And Sanjay Dutt who until recently was doing mainly fantasy is now on the realistic route. He'll soon start Raj Kumar Santoshi's film set in the Partition period. Dutt also plays a real-life cop in Rahul Dholakia's Lamhaa set at the heart of Kashmiri militancy.
And now, Sanjay Dutt will take time off to play a real-life cop who waged a fierce battle against terrorism in Punjab at the peak of Khalistan movement. Apoorva Lakhia, who has been in hibernation after the ill-fated Mission Istaanbul, is all set make a comeback with a film on the cops who battled Khalistani extremism.
The terror situation in Punjab during the 70s and 80s will be recreated through rigorous research on that period. Lakhia says the film will occupy the same gritty real-time-real-space as his film Shootout At Lokhandwala.

Mission Istaanbul - Movie Review

'Mission Istaanbul' (2008): After director Apoorva Lakhia’s 2007 smash hit 'Shootout at Lokhandwala,' expectations were high for his subsequent project, 'Mission Istaanbul.' But those hopes couldn’t have been more thoroughly dashed by this disaster of a film. Vikas (played by Zayed Khan) is an Indian television journalist who takes a job at a news channel in Turkey that sounds a lot like Al Jazeera. It’s immediately apparent that the agency is a front for terrorists—apparent to everyone except Vikas, that is, who walks around in a fog trying to figure out the obvious. Thankfully for both Vikas and the audience, Turkish commando Rizwan Khan (Vivek Oberoi) shows up to help him get the bad guys—and gives the film its only redeemable moments. The way Oberoi manages to convincingly deliver such bad lines is a testament to his talent. However, he’s

Apoorva Lakhia turns producer with Hide N Seek

Apoorva Lakhia is turning producer with a supernatural thriller that will launch Ponds Femina Miss India 2006 Amruta Patki as its leading lady. Lakhia apparently chose the aspirant after auditioning almost a dozen newcomers.
"I want to prove beauty queens can act," says Lakhia, though it's not Lakhia, but his assistant Sean Arranha who will direct Amruta Patki. Says Lakhia, "I won't only produce the film but also co-write it with Suresh Nair. Hide N Seek is about four friends played by Purab Kohli, Arjan Bajwa, Ayaaz Khan (Genelia's fiance in Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na) and Samir Kochhar whose terrible past catches up with them."
Lakhia is taking his duties as a producer very seriously. "My director Sean is just a baby. We need to nurture new talent not intimidate them," says Lakhia probably referring to the way Lakhia was treated by his producer Sanjay Gupta during the making of Shootout At Lokhandwala.

The process behind the casting of Vivek Oberoi as Paritala Ravi

Show Ram Gopal Varma a character whose life arouses a curiosity in him, and his flesh begins crawling towards the figure, so fast and precise that by the end of his research, Ramu would not be living his own life, but the life of that character. Recalling an incident from an interview with one of the Bollywood celebrities a month back, the actor quoted, "If the casting of your film is right, you've won half your battle". Ok, now hold your thought on the above quote.
Right then, it was those coal-black eyes, glistening with absolute conviction and probably malicious intent. It was his first impression that gave us his last. At one point it gave us the shivers, not because he looked horrifying, but because he looked fearless and unstoppable in his quest for revenge. He perpetrated terror in his debut film and there on became a household name.

Aarti Chabria hasn't shot for a Hindi film for more than one and a half years now but she has no regrets about that. As per the young actor who has made her presence felt in movies like Shootout At Lokhandwala and her earlier film Awara Paagal Deewana, it is better to wait, watch and carefully sign a film rather than rush it up and get into a messy affair.''I have refused over 18 films in last one year and honestly, it isn't something that I say with a lot of pride'', says Aarti who would soon be seen in Indra Kumar's Daddy Cool,

Bollywood’s leading production houses - Yash Raj Films, Utv, Eros International, Shemaroo and Moser Baer have now come together to fight video piracy. They are in the process of forming a committee which will be led by former Ats chief, A.A. Khan.
A.A. Khan was also seen in a brief role in Shootout At Lokhandwala based on the infamous encounter of gangster Maya Dolas led by Khan himself. The committee formed to combat piracy will comprise of retired police officers. While the effort, if taken to its logical conclusion, is laudable, it is worth noting here that at the very outset itself, this enterprise looks still-born.
To imagine that the industry would remain united in.
