Harman’s long-delayed film gets new lease of life thanks to Genelia
It’s My Life just got a new lease of life. Thanks to the favourable reports and response to Genelia D’Souza’s performance in her new release Force, suddenly Harman Baweja’s long-delayed release, It’s My Life, has become an urgent issue with producer Boney Kapoor and director Anees Bazmee.
According to very reliable sources, Genelia’s success in Force is just the window that the producer and director were looking for to release It’s My Life. The film is being spruced up big time.
Says the source, “Genelia’s is the third-most important role in It’s My Life after Nana and Harman. Ways are being devised to enhance Genelia’s presence in the film. A song is being added to the film. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have been asked to create a sizzling new number for Genelia to sizzle to.”
Apparently, the Bon Jovi anthem ‘It’s My Life’ was being considered as the special add-on to the film.
But Shankar Mahadevan denies the Bon Jovi connection. “We are doing a new title song for It’s My Life. We’re exploring various possibilities. But Bon Jovi is not one of them.”
Anees admits the film is being spruced up. “We are definitely releasing the film finally on January 13. Yes we’re adding a song. I am not aware of how successful Genelia’s new film is. But yes, success of any kind does help the next picture, issmein koi shaq nahin hai.”
Yash Raj Films to launch Boney Kapoor’s son Arjun Kapoor
In the recent past Yash Raj Films has launched actors such as Anushka Sharma (Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi) and Ranveer Singh (Band Baaja Baaraat). Now the latest actor to be launched by YRF is none other than Arjun Kapoor (son of producer Boney Kapoor).
When contacted YRF’s spokesperson said, “Yes…Arjun Kapoor has been signed up for a film with YRF. However, as mentioned earlier, we will be making an announcement of all our forthcoming films in Jan 2011.”
Bobby Deol’s bereavement makes Thank You’s Canada schedule go haywire
Personal setbacks and crises often mean losses worth crores for film producers especially if the film is shot abroad. But in the case of Anees Bazmee’s Thank You, where a long schedule in Toronto had to end suddenly because of Bobby Deol’s father-in-law illness and death, the loss runs into not just the production on-hand (Thank You) but also Boney Kapoor’s sequel to No Entry entitled Be Positive.
While Boney has declared his next production would be the sequel to No Entry, Anees shocks by declaring that the script is not even close to being ready.
Says Anees, “While I’ve an idea for the Hera Pheri sequel which I am working on for producer Feroz Nadiadwala I’ve absolutely no idea which way the sequel to No Entry would go. The comedy is the hardest genre to write. And I can’t plunge into a funny film until I’ve the script ready. I’ve just had no time to think about an idea for No Entry Part 2.”
With the Thank You schedule going haywire after Bobby’s abrupt departure from Toronto, Anees is now organizing a schedule in Mumbai to synchronize with the unfinished schedule in Toronto.
Says Anees, “When Bobby had to leave from Toronto we still had one big song and some scenes to be shot. We’ve started the shoot in Mumbai from September 13. The song will come later .”
It was meant to be a big chorus song featuring Irrfan Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Rimi Sen, Sunil Shetty and Bobby. Organizing the dates of all these actors was problematic.
Sighs Anees, “This is the first time I’m doing two films together. Setbacks are bound to happen. We’ve to take it in our stride.”
One hopes Boney Kapoor too will Be Positive about Bobby Deol’s disrupted schedule.

MUMBAI: Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor, who strutted down the ramp for bridal collection of his friend Manish Malhotra on the current HDIL India Couture Week here with her boyfriend, Saif Ali Khan, says it was a very special show she. 
“I’ve walked the ramp many times in the past for my friend Manish, but this was different and very special because for the first time I was walking with Saif.’s Always a special feeling to be with him,” said Kareena.
Saif added, “Yes, it was fun. We had fun during rehearsals as well.”
While sashaying down the ramp smiling Kareena watched as the audience Saif managed to keep a poker face.
The first row was occupied by a number of Bollywood celebrities who had to push for a place in the area full of entertainment.
Priyanka Chopra, Preity Zinta, Kajol, Imran Khan, Dino Morea, Uday Chopra, Sophie Chaudhary, and Boney Kapoor and Sridevi who came with her daughters, adds glamor quotient.
The collection is called “The Wedding of Doom” and the whole decorated with white curtains that fall from the ceiling like a dream sequence from a Bollywood film.
The background music of Hindi films had Chartbusters and emotional Atayachaar, Twist, Chor Bazzari among others.
The line had an interesting combination of colors like peach, ivory and beige. With minimalist embroidery and a lot of bling, Malhotra’s collection was elegant and sexy at the same time too.
“These days many people in India are having your wedding abroad. Last month I designed for a wedding in Portugal. I want people to know what colors and silhouettes to be used at weddings as” Malhotra said.
The range of all I had a girl can dream – from outside Kurtas Lehenga to shoulder, long jackets for elegant blouse.

Wanted hindi movie review and updates

Wanted hindi movie review, Wanted dead or alive, hindi movie 2009 review. In this movie Salman Khan’ character name is Radhe and play’s as a sharpshooter, who works for Gani Bhai, the hardcore Mumbai Mafioso.The one liners of Salman Khan lack the punch. Action direction is simply excellent and cinematography is also wonderful. Prabhu Deva, who has turned his focus to direction from choreography, has proved that he can be a good director. He has made the right choice to enter Bollywood.
Prakash Raj, who is very famous for his negative roles in South India, has definitely excelled the expectations of his character. Even Govind Namdeo has done justice as the Commissioner. But Vinod Khanna fails to create any impact, whereas others have done decent job.The final scenes of the movie share a close resemblance with the fight sequences of ‘Ghajini’.
As for the sources This movie ratings shows only 2 stars out 5
Producer: Boney Kapoor
Director: Prabhu Deva
Cast: Salman Khan, Ayesha Takia, Om Puri, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sayaji Shinde, Prakash Raj, Aseem Merchant, Vinod Khanna, Anil Kapoor.
