Malaika Arora Khan to shake legs with brother-in-law Salman Khan

There is no denying the fact that Malaika Arora Khan is one of the most desirable item girl of the tinsel town with the evergreen item numbers like Chaiyyan-Chaiyyan in Dil Se and Mahi Ve in Kaante, but we have had a chance to see her share screen space with her brother-in-law, Salman Khan.

For the first time, she will be seen together with Salman Khan in an item song composed by Lalit Pandit, for the Abhinav Kashyap-directed, Arbaaz Khan-produced ‘Dabangg’. The song, titled ‘Munni Badnaam Hui Darling Tere Liye’, has been choreographed by Farah Khan. It will be shot in a set resembling a rugged, sweaty Bihari bar, something like Beedi Jalaile in Omkara.

It has been a long time since we saw, Malaika spicing up the screens and we eagerly await this number, coz Malaika with Salman, is something which we don’t get to see in an ordinary course.

Shahid and Priyanka have Split again

Priyanka and Shahid have split-up again. The couple has even stopped following each other on the community site twitter. The both broke-up before Christmas. Piggy Chops was supposed to start shooting for her upcoming movie Anjaana-Anjaani in New York on January 3, but she decided to leave a week in advance for the shoot. She was trying to run away from the memories.

Previously, Shahid has decided to split. However, he realized that Priyanka meant a lot to him. When they thought they wanted to stay together, somehow things started to go wrong between them, and this time Priyanka decided to end their relationship. The break-up is not harmonious. Priyanka and Shahid have always had a rough relationship, and all their common friends knew that they were going to part their ways. Both the people have different and strong personalities, and are completely different from one another, and that has often created arguments and fights.

A close source to the couple reveals, “They had a huge fight before she left for her New York schedule. Shahid brought up the subject of her co-star Ranbir, which irritated her and things got ugly. Earlier whenever there was a tussle, Priyanka would try to make peace. However, this time she was not in a mood to fix it.” Another reason for the break-up was Priyanka’s friendship with Mubina Rattonsey. The source also said, “After Shahid broke-up with Kareena, he got close to Mubina. It was also believed that she was more than a confidante to him but then things went wrong, and they drifted apart.”

Priyanka Chopra was introduced to Mubina through some close friends and they got along instantly. However, Shahid did not like their friendship. He thought that Mubina would influence Priyanka against him. He asked Priyanka to stay away from her but she did not listen to him. Eventually they started to fight more, rather than enjoying with each other, and Priyanka decided to end it.

After Deepika’s brake-up with Ranbir Kapoor, she is doing a film with Imran called Brake Ke Baad. That is Kunal Kohli’s next movie, he will be producing the film rather than directing. He says, “My director Danish Aslam and I always wanted to call his film Break Ke Baad because it is about a couple Imran and Deepika who break-up and want to come together.”

Earlier the title was registered with someone else. Kunal was unable to locate the legal owners of this title anywhere in Mumbai. Kunal says, “We finally tracked it down to Bangalore to a 60 year old gentleman who deals in electrical goods. He owns a company called Seva Films. He hopes to make films that would change the world. Break Ke Baad is one of the titles he had registered. He loved our idea and gladly parted with the title.”

The most difficult part was to get a permission to shoot in Delhi. Kunal says, “I could write a thesis on what I have gone through to get permission to shoot in Delhi.” However, his problem did not end there. He was also denied the permission to shoot on the Gold Coast. The entire movie is set in Australia and Delhi.

Break Ke Baad will be Kunal’s first film as an independent producer.
