Shahrukh and Leonardo in Xtrme City..

Now this is what we call “news” which is really getting the antennas stand right up with all attention reserved for what next is really in the offing. Believe it or not but a major Hollywood-Bollywood collaboration is right up in the anvil and two of the bigger superstars from different ends of the world are all set to share screen space. The film in question is Xtrme City and the men in question – hold your breath – Shah Rukh Khan and Leonardo Di Caprio.

Sources say, “The film is aiming for a late 2010 shoot in Mumbai, New York and the Persian Gulf. The makers are hoping for a 2011 release. As with many Bollywood films, Xtrme City will integrate thriller, drama and comedy elements. The movie will be family-friendly though there would certainly be elements of violence. However, sex will be downplayed, though there would be quintessential song and dance routines.”

Can’t wait for the movie to release..

Salman Khan goes to Mumbai Sessions Court

Bollywood troubled actor Salman Khan is once again haunted by his mischievous past. This time, it’s not for the killing of the endangered Chinkara or running over some poor people sleeping on the street but to depose as a witness in a case involving the movie Chori Chori Chupke.

He appeared before the Special MCOCA Court yesterday (March 11) over the allegation by the city police that his film Chori Chori Chupke Chupke was made with the underworld’s money. His father Salim Khan said that his son has given a police statement regarding the persons he met before the making of the film. He was called to confirm the statements before the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act.

It may be recalled that film financier Bharat Shah was arrested in 2001 for the same case. He was alleged to have links with underground kingpin Chhota Shakeel. He was alleged to have used the underworld money for financing the film starring Salman Khan, Rani Mukherjee and Preity Zinta.

Nana Patekar blasts off at Deepika Padukone

The short-tempered Nana Patekar comes in form once again and this time at the receiving end is the gorgeous and ever so beautiful Deepika Padukone.

It so happened that Nana Patekar is set to direct a film for Prakash Jha and Patekar approached Deepika for a casting. However, when Deepika tried to suggest some changes in the script, Nana lost his cool and gave her left and right. Nana went on to the extent of saying that he has immense experience in the film industry and how can a newcomer like Deepika suggest he make changes in the script. Deepika maintained a dignified silence but now she has decided not to do the film at all.

However, a close friend of Deepika denies any tiff between the two and said, “Yes, Nana had approached her with a script however Deepika refused to do it as she could not connect to it. Nana did not have a verbal argument with her and she is not aware if Nana is upset with her. She did not do the film as it was something that she just did not want to do. That’s it.”

Marriage makes Esha Koppikar worried about her hot scenes in ‘Right Yaaa Worng’

Eesha Koppikar has given quite a few sizzling hot scenes in her forthcoming ‘Right Yaaa Wrong’ and the actress was quite worried about the scenes before her marriage. After all she is now the bahu of a traditional family.

The film has Eesha playing the role of Anshita, Sunny Deol’s wife. Deol plays a cop and Eesha an interior designer who is a modern and independent woman. Eesha apparently plays a cheating wife who has a torrid, sexual affair on the side with newcomer Aarav Chowdhary as well.

Filmmaker Subhash Ghai is all praises for Eesha’s performance in the movie and says, “Eesha’s not only hot as ever in the film, she’s cool as an actress too.”

Newcomer Aarav was very nervous while shooting the lovemaking scene with Eesha. It took quite a few rehearsals and also some encouragement from Essha to help Aarav get over his inhibitions.

“It was a very nervous feeling to make love to Isha in the film. We had to do many rehearsals before canning the act. The seductiveness of Isha is quite palpable in the bath tub scene. Moreover, the fact that I was a relative newcomer in front of Isha made it all the more difficult for me to enact the scene. Finally, after many rehearsals and some good encouragement from Isha, we have performed some of the best love scenes ever performed on the big screen,” says Aarav.
