Jaya Bachchan under attack from Thackeray
Even before ‘Drona’ could hit the screens, the Bachchan family faced a fresh round of attack, this time from Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray. It all started with a light-hearted jovial remark from Jaya Bachcan on the audio release of Abhishek Bachchan’s ambitious project ‘Drona’. “We are from Uttar Pradesh and we will speak in Hindi—Maharashtrians will forgive us,” said Jaya.
MNS leader Raj Thackeray in February 2008 had accused Jaya’s husband, superstar Amitabh Bachchan, of not doing enough for Maharashtra and favouring his home state of Uttar Pradesh. This seems to have given fresh additions to the issue and now Thackeray has announced a “ban” on films in Maharashtra which features the superstar and his family members.
“All Bachchan family movies and advertisements in Mumbai and Maharashtra are banned from today (Monday),” said Thackeray at a press conference.
“This is an affront to the Marathi Manoos (Marathi-speaking people). All parties should unite and condemn what she said,” said Thackeray.
However, the Bollywood fraternity is with the Bachchans with veteran Shyam Benegal saying it was a “childish” and “silly” remark over a “light-hearted joke”.
“This is an attempt to divide the entire industry and create borders within the nation,” actor and social worker, Nafisa Ali said.
Little did Jaya know that one joke at the launch function would cost so much for her political career as well her son’s upcoming movie ‘Drona’.

Katrina Kaif to relive the character of Padosan’s Bindu

An a unique experiment, the film is going to maintain the same evergreen songs from the original for the remake. Director Neeraj Vora states, “We will change some tracks so that it won’t look outdated but we will look to re-create melody of that songs.
It is not going to be an easy thing to do but the songs will be mixed and we might add some new songs. It’s too early to comment on these things so let’s see but yes I’m very excited to direct this film as it will have a different flavour of comedy.”

Sanjay Dutt - Mixing work with fun in ‘Blue’
Marriage with Manyata has made Sanjay more of a free bird and he is on a joy ride now, so much so that the actor opted to do his own underwater stunts in Bangkok for his forthcoming ‘Blue’ inspite of a warning from the doctors not to do scuba diving because of his lung condition.
‘Blue’ is mostly shot underwater and as the crew is in Bangkok now, Sanjay Dutt has tried out an innovative way to mix work with pleasure. Reports have it that Dutt has hired a 40-foot luxury boat and has invited all his friends from Los Angeles to Mumbai to chill out with him, including ‘Blue’ co-star Zayed Khan and Sanju’s good friend Apoorva Lakhia . Not to mention the blast the gang is having. They go deep-sea diving, snorkeling, and have barbeque, drinks and music on board.
Well, did we forget to mention that Sanju Baba’s heartthrob Manyata is also there on board?
Salman ignores Lara Dutta on ‘Dus Ka Dum’
As Salman’s ‘Dus Ka Dum’ is all setting up to wrap up, it has a lot of guest celebrities in store for its viewers. After Jeetendra and Tushaar Kapoor, Rani Mukherji, Lara Dutta and Rakhi Sawant will be seen sharing the television screen with Salman in the show.
Salman is known to get along very well with his celebrity guests and this was evident with the way Salman was made the studio echoed with laughter and enjoyment as entertained everybody with spotty one-liners. One thing which was very very obvious was Salman’s cold behavior with Lara. He mingled quite well with Rani and Rakhi, but not with Lara Dutta.
In fact, Lara felt completely ignored as Salman gave her a cold shoulder and didn’t even speak to her much. This behavior of Salman has its roots to the time when Lara refused a role in his next ‘Main aur Mrs. Khanna’ on the plea that her role was very short. But then Sallu Mian was shocked when she went ahead and agreed to do a smaller role in Shahrukh’s ‘Billoo Barber’.
Salman made no efforts to hide the cold vibes between himself and Lara. Whether his behavior was justified or not, is up to you to decide.
