‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’: Aditya to direct SRK, yet again


‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’: Aditya to direct SRK, yet again
The wait is over. Eight years after he last directed a film, Aditya Chopra is back helming a Yash Raj Films production. Even as his directorial debut ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ continues its record breaking run in its 13th year, Aditya is ready to direct his third film.
After directing his second film, ‘Mohabbatein’, back in 2000, Aditya had taken a conscious break from direction to set up and develop India's first studio model making Yash Raj Films a name to reckon with. In the years that followed, YRF, under the keen eye of Aditya, produced such blockbusters as ‘Dhoom’, ‘Dhoom 2’, ‘Hum Tum’, ‘Bunty Aur Babli’, ‘Salaam Namaste’, ‘Fanaa’ and ‘Chak De India’. While Aditya was the creative producer in all these films, he also kept up with his creative juices by writing his father Yash Chopra's directorial venture ‘Veer-Zaara’ in 2004, and the stories of other films.
Aditya’s third directorial venture would be titled ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ that would star the formidable Shah Rukh Khan... indeed the jodi of Adi and SRK would once again be a treat for film audiences the world over.
Aditya would introduce a new girl opposite King Khan in the film. The hunt for a new girl is on.
The film, to be produced by Yash Chopra, would be written and directed by Aditya Chopra. Shooting for the film would commence in May and it would release by the end of 2008.

And now with the inclusion of our very own Priyanka, this campaign will get its desi touch.
The campaign aims to inspire women from all over the globe to live their own lives to the fullest. Priyanka says that, the 'Life Can't Wait' campaign is a very today thing. And that one needs to work hard to be the best.

Saif-Kareena marriage on cards


Marriage for Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor
Saif Ali Khan has solemnised his affections for Kareena Kapoor in an unexpected way. He has got her name tattooed on his arm.
Admitting for the first time to the permanent love mark, Saif said, "Yes, I've tattooed her name. It's on my forearm. And very visible to the world."
According to friends of both, he has never been more committed in a relationship. Marriage is definitely on the cards.
A close friend said: "There's a kind of fierce and single-minded determination in Saif to make this relationship work for keeps. And it isn't a defiant determination to disprove the cynics who say it won't last. Saif doesn't give a damn about what people say. He has always gone by his gut feelings, regardless of others.
"Earlier, after Rosa left, there were whispers of Saif being involved with various ladies. Saif doesn't like the image of the Casanova at all. He thinks he's too grown up for it. He wants stability in his life and a relationship that's for keeps. He believes he has found it in Kareena. Come what may, Saif would make this relationship work."
Earlier, when the couple was together in Bangkok shooting for Kunal Kohli's film, Saif's co-star Rani Mukerji was privy to many sessions of his outpourings on his love.
Kareena and Saif then brought in the New Year in Hong Kong with Saif's two children.
Now shooting in Greece for Yash Raj Films' ‘Tashan’, Saif and Kareena spend as much time together as possible, oblivious to all around, though they don't have too many scenes together in the film
