Shahid Kapoor wants Katrina Kaif?


Shahid Kapoor wants Katrina Kaif?




Now that Katrina Kaif is pairing up with young stars of her age, Shahid Kapoor has promptly added her to his wishlist. Reportedly, Shahid wants Katrina to be his heroine in his dad’s directorial debut ‘Mausam’ which is a love story.
But papa Pankaj Kapur doesn’t seem to be in the mood to pander to dear sonny’s wishes or whims. He wants a fresh face for the film as it suits the subject. And a nationwide hunt to find this new girl has already been planned.
It is learnt that Kapur senior has entrusted the responsibility of casting actors for the film to his daughter. The wannabe director is currently solely focused on finishing the script after which he will begin signing the actors.
Shahid’s place is already reserved. Let’s see if Pankaj gives in to his son’s demand of roping Katrina in.
The young star is facing a dearth of female co-actors to work with. Another film with Kareena Kapoor is certainly ruled out while working with Priyanka may not happen anytime soon because of the couple’s fresh break-up. Shahid hasn’t yet worked with Katrina because of his thandi equation with her beau Salman Khan.

Time for Shahid to better his PR, we think!

Harman Baweja turns 29 (Harman Birthday)


Harman Baweja turns 29



Having made a bumpy start in tinsel town with two duds - Love Story 2050 and Victory - Harman Baweja has inched closer to the big league, thanks to his last release What’s Your Raashee which wasn’t a box office hit but helped the handsome star get a firmer foothold in Bollywood.
Today, Harman Baweja turns 29 and is looking forward to have a low-key celebration with his family. His mom has just returned from a month long trip in USA, and Harman, who still admits he’s mama’s boy, is thrilled.
Like him or not, but you can’t deny the fact that Harman has undergone the ups and downs in personal and professional life with grace. There wasn’t any dragging out and washing of the dirty linen in public when his 5-year long relationship with Priyanka Chopra came to an end. Though he wasn’t at ease working with her in ‘What’s Your Raashee’, he didn’t let his personal problems come in the way of work.
Harman openly admits he’s single today. Though he’s ready to mingle, he says he’s not ready to get into a serious relationship for some time at least. He also makes a shocking revelation that he’s game for arranged marriage with any Punjabi girl his mom selects for him.

Happy Birthday, Harman.


Aao Wish Karein (Up Coming Movie) Amna Sharif New Movie

Aao Wish Karein | Movie Review of "Aao Wish Karein"

A twelve-year-old boy wishes to grow BIG overnight. Why? Certainly not to fit into his unloving foster father’s shoes. But to be able to romance his 21-year-old crush who lovingly calls him a bachcha! Aftab Shivdasani, who hasn’t been able to break into the BIG league in Bollywood, turns writer and producer with Aao Wish Karein, a rip-off of the Tom Hanks’ 1988 Oscar nominated film ‘Big’. But Shivdasani is no Mr. Hanks and ‘Aao Wish Karein’ not a patch on ‘Big’. 12-year-old Mickey is a regular kid in a picturesque hill town nursing a massive crush on the local beauty Mithika (Aamna Sharif) who is 21. Age no bar for love but when Mithika calls Mickey a kid, he’s heartbroken and wishes to grow up overnight. Pops up Hitchcock (Johnny Lever), dressed up like a pirate from some slum, to grant Mickey’s wish. Presto! The boy of 12 turns into a young man (Aftab Shivdasani) with bulgy biceps. Thereafter he woos his ladylove with gifts, surprise treats and his kiddie antics. But is this love story headed to its logical conclusion - marriage? The trouble with ‘Aao Wish Karein’ is that it chugs on two tracks and therefore keeps getting derailed every now and then. Is it a movie for the kids or for grown ups? One can’t make out. Perhaps for neither. The tracks involving the kids in the film are aplenty but not the kind that would send the bachcha log in the theatres giggling. And the romantic track between Aftab and Aamna just doesn’t work out for the grown ups. Aftab tries too hard and ends up overplaying his character. Aamna has too many Kodak moments showcasing her silky hair and facial features in slow-motion. Johnny Lever as the wisecracking Hitchcock (not Alfred) is over the top. The film’s music and cinematography aren’t bad but director Glenn Baretto just isn’t able to recreate the magic and fairy tale flavour of the Tom Hanks starrer. That movie entertained.
