It’s now known to everyone that Salman Khan and Aamir Khan are good friends. Aamir admits, “Yes, I am very fond of Salman. I also spend time with him whenever we can match our schedules.”

Both the superstars share the passion of adventure biking at night. When Aamir packs off all his staff except the security staff at midnight, then it is a signal that he is going to visit Salman.

The source reveals that Aamir directs his vehicle to Salman’s house in Bandra and parks his vehicle there. Then Salman brings out his red motorcycle and goes for a ride with Aamir, while Aamir’s security staff follows them. After the drive they land up at Sallu’s house or Aamir’s place when Aamir’s wife Kiran is out and have some drinks. Aamir even breaks his diet when he is with Salman.

Moreover, Aamir even arranged a special preview of his films to Salman. Aamir had arranged preview of Ghajini for Salman and Sachin Tendulkar, after which Salman gave some suggestions and Aamir implemented those in his film. There was also news that Aamir told Salman stop drinking to look good in Veer.

So it now supposed that Aamir who is currently in Delhi, wrapping up 3 Idiots, might arrange a preview of the film for his best friend Salman. However this is possible only after December 3 as Salman along with other actors Katrina Kaif, Neha Dhupia, Celina Jaitley and Sridevi are about to perform at an event in Dubai on December 2.

According to sources, Aamir Khan has roped in three kids from Mumbai local trains to sing for his next production venture The Falling, directed by Anusha Rizvi. The kids named - Durga (12), Nagarjuna (17), Bramendra (18) are discovered by musician Mathias Duplessy, who has given background score to the film. The kids have recorded two songs under guidance of Mathias for the film, which is based on the theme of farmer’s suicide.

“I met the three kids two years ago through the director of The Fakir of Venice, Anand Surapur. They had played for me then. In fact, I have even traveled in trains to check out their talent. They have the energy and talent of gypsies. They’re great singers. Durga is the little princess of the group andNagarjuna is the lead singer. Bramendra too has a very good voice,” said Mathias.

A source said, “Mathias discovered the talented kids. He learnt that they earn their daily bread and butter by singing in local trains. He found it interesting, got in touch with the kids and things quickly fell in place. Aamir was really happy with the trio’s talent and immediately agreed to record with them. In fact, Mathias is now making a film with a foreign production house where these kids will sing about six seven songs.”

Last weekend, Mathias arranged a small get-together at Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s house to showcase the kid’s talent. Aamir, Vidhu (producer of 3 Idiots) along with their wives were present there and liked the performances by the kids. “The kids gave a zabardast performance. Aamir was very impressed. Aamir and Vidhu may do something for the kids in future,” added the source.

However neither the filmmaker nor the film’s name has been revealed yet as the film still is in its formative stages. We will come to know about the film only in April next year.

Be it Shahid Kapoor’s hairstyle in Kismat Konnection, Kaminey or the latest short hair cut he is sporting for director Parmeet Sethi’s film, every youngster is looking forward to it. Ask his hairstylist, Dilshad Pastakia. In fact, this has been keeping the hairstylist busy these days.

“I used to get requests from people since his Kismat Konnection days for the ‘SK haircut’, but with Kaminey the demand for ‘Charlie hair’ suddenly exploded and people from places as far as Chandigarh, Indore and Delhi wanted his style,” said Dilshad.

“Now that he has changed his hair again, the new short crop is just as popular, especially with the 17 to 22-year-olds who like to stay trendy,” she added.

By the way, Shahid and Shah Rukh Khan share the same hairstylist.

SRK's new look for Dish TV ad

Seems like Shah Rukh Khan is inspired from his rival Aamir Khan or Big B after Paa, because he has donned a 75-year-old look for the upcoming ad for Dish TV. In the ad, Shah Rukh romances with his wife played by Tanvi Azmi behind closed doors by dancing with her.

Anurag Basu, who directed the ad, said, “The story is very cute. Tanvi Azmi is playing Shah Rukh’s wife. They’re hiding inside their room and are dancing.”

Anurag along with Prasoon Joshi planned the concept of the ad. “We didn’t know if SRK will agree to the idea. I didn’t want to make him Veer Zaara kinda old. It had to be different. So, pehle Shah Rukh ko buddha banaya humne pictures mein, and then showed it to him. He was very sporting and loved the idea,” said Anurag.

Shah Rukh loved the idea and immediately agreed to do it. SRK has very well emoted in the ad. His chemistry with Tanvi Azmi looks wonderful. The ad shows SRK in a bald look, but the actor is sure that he is never going to lose his hair in real life.

Well, how was his wife, Gauri Khan’s reaction to the look? “Shah Rukh called his make-up guy and gave him the brief on how to do his look. After the whole get-up was done, he did something very cute.

He clicked a picture of himself and sent it to Gauri on the phone, asking, ‘Will you still love me when I am old and look like this?’ I am sure he will look much more handsome when he is old!” said the director.

For the first time in his career, Salman Khan is set to play a villain as Mogambo in a sequel to Mr. India. In the original film, the late veteran actor Amrish Puri played Mogambo, while in the sequel Salman will be seen in the same eccentric and jazzy attire.

Anees Bazmee will direct the film, which promises the comeback of Sridevi. Confirming the news, producer of the film Boney Kapoor said, “Yes, Salman will play a negative role in the sequel, just like Amrish Puri did in Mr. India.” Not divulging much about the film, he said, “The script is still being finalised.”

However, a source revealing about the film said, “Salman was very keen to do the film as he is a fan of Mr. India. During the making of Wanted, Salman expressed his desire to be a part of the sequel and Boney assured him that he would plan a role for him. While scripting the film, Boney told director Anees to work out an interesting character for Salman and the director came up with the idea of making Salman play the villain. A character as unforgettable as Mogambo is being written for Salman. He will also have a different look in the film for which a test will be done early next year as the film is scheduled to go on the floors in February-March.”

Is Salman all right with playing the baddie? “Salman loved the idea and is quite open-minded about playing a negative role. Salman will be playing a terrorist who wants to rule over India and the story will be about how Anil Kapoor, Sridevi and their gang try to free the country with the help of another invention made by Anil Kapoor,” said the source.

When a couple (especially celebrities) break up, rarely do they get back together, but the exception has happened with Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.

According to sources, Ranbir is keen to get back with Deepika; meanwhile she too seems miserable without him. Ranbir currently is shooting for Anjana Anjani with co-star Priyanka Chopra in Bangkok and as per everyone’s expectations, there is no spark between the lead pair. According to sources, Ranbir is not even noticing the glamorous Piggy Chops. Clearly, his heart is somewhere else.

“Ranbir was too much into his own space to even notice his glamorous co-star. He spent most of his time, when not shooting, either at the gym or taking walks and visiting malls,” said a source.

So will they get together again? “I hope so,” wishes Ranbir.

Pooja Chopra is Beauty With A Purpose

PFMI World ‘09 Pooja Chopra’s campaign at the Miss World event was doubtful as she was injured just a day before the final event. However, she did make Indians feel proud as she won the Beauty With A Purpose award at the competition. Other nominees for the award were Miss Barbados and Miss Guatemala. The kind award is given to a contestant who has done a thorough charitable work in her home country. Pooja is actively involved in a campaign to save the girl child in India.

The award made Pooja an easy entry to Miss World 2009 semi-finals, where when all the contestants were seen gliding on the stage, Pooja appeared with a cast on her leg. When Pooja was eliminated from the pageant, her sister Shubhra Mendonca said, “Pooja has definitely made India proud. I am getting calls from all over India. But I still believe that if she had not been injured, she would have surely got the crown home. She had taken heavy painkillers just to be on stage for this evening. She was crying backstage too. She was shattered because of this mishap. Throughout her entire life, Pooja has always been a winner, be it Miss Pune or at the NDA ball.”

Suffering from the mishap, Pooja was already started losing hope before the finale as she had said, “I already feel I am out of the competition.” She had been advised by doctors to take bed rest for three weeks. However, determined Pooja walked across the stage with the help of painkillers. When she was announced as one of the semi-finalists, she burst into tears. “I am speechless at this moment,” said Pooja, hugging anchor Angela Chow.

Her sister added, “My mother is also in South Africa, and just told me that everybody is congratulating her. Being the elder sister, I was quite worried for her and had initially advised her to back out, but Pooja was furious. She replied, ‘It’s not Pooja Chopra participating in Miss World, it’s Miss India.’ If it was some other girl, she would’ve surely withdrawn, but it was only Pooja’s strength and desire to win that kept her going.”

Bollywood hottie Sameera Reddy turns a year older today, so what’s on her wish list today?

The actress is not at all worried about her growing age as actresses have a short career life in Bollywood. “I absolutely love my birthdays. In fact, I always wished it could come at least twice a year,” says Sam. “I don’t think that there’s any wrong side of the age to be at inBollywood anymore. Besides, instead of brooding over turning older, I enjoy looking back at the fun and experiences I’ve had and look forward to another kickass year,” she adds.

No wonder, she is coming up with three films in line- Nagesh Kukunoor’s Yeh Hosla, Red Alert and Priyadarshan’s untitled film.

Clarifying her long absence after Race, she said, “Just that the action was all happening down South. But, now, I want to balance the two, and won’t mind tilting a little more in favour ofBollywood.”

Recently she appeared in De Dana Dan (2009), so is comedy a high on her agenda while signing films. “No. I really enjoyed doing comedy, but I want a mix of everything on my platter. Like Nagesh’s film is a far cary from anything I have done before and I am really excited about that one,” she said.

In fact, she is dying to do some action. “I’d love to do action. I think that would be really sexy,” she adds.

The actor also promises to come up with an item number soon, in different styles. “Ya, I really want to do one again. But I want to do it the desi style, with the latka, jhatkas et al. That’s high on my birthdaywish list,” says the actor.

Apart from the item number, what’s more on her wish list is “SRK and Sallubhai. I really really want to work with them now. They’re definitely what I’ll be wishing for when I make my birthday wishes today,” wishes the birthday girl.
