Hollywood Bollywood News & Gossips

Bollywood’s gripped by cricket fever and B-towners seem to be reeling under the spell of the on-going World Cup. And even while all roads in B-Town may not be leading to Mohali in Punjab, where our men in blue will be taking on the rival Pak team in what is expected to be a thrilling semi-final tomorrow, our stars are not letting go of their dose of the cricket action. Whether in person at Mohali or catching up on the action while at work, B-Town will make sure cricket’s the name of the game.

Actors Abhishek Bachchan and Preity Zinta are two of the few stars who’re planning to catch the action live by flying to Mohali. Actor Deepika Padukone might also be joining them. Singer Mika will also be catching the match live.

Though the others won’t be seen in the stands cheering team India, they will be keeping their fingers crossed for our boys for sure. Reportedly, Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan will host a cricket party at Mannat where he, along with his close coterie of friends, will be cheering for India, as is actor Aamir Khan, who will apparently be hosting a bash at home with wife Kiran Rao.

Film-maker Sajid Khan said he would be attending a small get-together being planned at actor Akshay Kumar’s residence, though initially, the star was rather keen to attend the match. Actor Tusshar Kapoor was planning to go catch the action live, but changed his mind about it.

Actor Saif Ali Khan will be unable to attend the match as he’s shooting in Delhi for Agent Vinod. According to a source, “They are on a tight schedule, so, it may be tough for him to fly to Mohali even for a day. But he does plan to catch up on the match.” Bollywood hottie Kareena Kapoor is busy shooting for Short Term Shaadi, while Katrina Kaif who’s an avid cricket buff will be busy with Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. “But I’ll definitely keep a tab of the scores,” she smiles.

Actor Ranbir Kapoor is busy shooting for Barfee, and so will be skipping the match, but has plans to keep up with the team on TV. Bong beauty Bipasha Basu too is planning to catch on the action at home. “Will be at home watching and cheering for the team with my friends and family,” says Bips. Work commitments will be keeping actor Sonakshi Sinha away from the pitch too, as is also the case with the Devgns — Ajay and Kajol, who are at present in Goa.

Actors Riteish Deshmukh and Sanjay Dutt who are shooting for Double Dhamal in Macau have plans to put up the screens on sets and catch the match in between the shoots. Actor Sameera Reddy too wishes she could have gone to Mohali, but ‘I’m shooting in Karaikudi. But wishing the men in blue all the best!’ she says.

Papa Control Karo Aapki Bahuu Hay

Sarkar Raj is being ruled by Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Bachchan. The three powerful actors come together with full force to save the ship of Ramgopal Varma from drowning, as his last offering Ramgopal Varma Ki Aag had almost collected zero reviews and shameful comments. In spite of its strong promotion and some influential star casts, the film turned out to be a complete laughing stock. Sarkar Raj is an opportunity for Ramu to bring to the mind of the mass that he is the same director who gave them hit films like, Rangeela, Company, Satya, and many more. The film is equally important for the Bachchans for establishing their dominion in the big, big world of Bollywood as everyday questions erupt about their prowess in the film industry. All those and many others factors make Sarkar Raj special and a reason of anticipation for all.

Sarkar Raj lures the audience in many ways. The film caught the attraction of all when the unveiling of the movie coincides with the date of Ash-Abhi’s wedding anniversary and the duo made their presence felt through video conferencing from Miami. Getting Amitabh, Ash, Abhi and Ramu on the same platform, media flooded them with questions and interestingly, Ash-Abhi’s anniversary garnered the entire attention rather than their film. In this special occasion, Amitabh remarked that no other director other than Ramu challenged his acting capability. All eyes set on the release of the film as they would get to see Aishwarya's pairing opposite Abhishek first time ever on-screen after marriage. This angle added another plus point to the film for dragging audience to the theater.

Another curiosity added to the film is Abhishek’s role. It is said that Ramu had earlier thought to kill Abhishek but he had to rethink on the climax for viewers as it would be against their choice. Abhi’s pairing with Tanisha in stead of Ash and how the sizzling pair fights against their dear pa Amitabh are another curiosity of Sarkar Raj. The music launch of the film too pulled many attentions for the uniqueness of the film and its music. Varma is leaving no stone unturned to promote his film. He along with co-producer Pravin Nischol has tied up with a mobile company, which has conceptualized and designed a game based on the storyline of the film. The game is based on Shankar Nagre, the protagonist of the film played by Abhishek Bachchan. The players need to solve a murder mystery. The game was launched at a glittering function by superstar Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Bachchan.

Now that Sarkar Raj is ready to see the light of the day, the Bachchans on bare foot covered miles from home to Siddhivinayak to seek the blessing of the divine God. They ardently wanted Sarkar Raj to collect maximum tickets at the ticket counter and registered third hit of the year in the box office after Jodha Akhbar and Race.
