According to Kangana, Ajay is shy and Anil is chivalrous!


After the film Gangster, there was no turning back for Kangana Ranaut. Having three film in her kitty now, Kangs is looking forward to Tezz, which also stars Ajay Devgan and Anil Kapoor.
The actress has worked with both the actors previously too. Kangs and Anil in ‘No Problem’ and Kangs and Ajay in ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai’.
Kangana is amazed with the acting skills of both Ajay and Anil.
“I have done two films with Ajay… in fact when I did ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai’, I was still new to the industry and he was a superstar. I have always noticed that he doesn’t talk much. Otherwise Ajay is much disciplined and you can learn so much from him,” said Kangana.
Talking about Anil, she said: “Anil Kapoor is like family. The love and affection that he showers on me is something I don’t know how to react to. He is very chivalrous. You feel good when he is around on the sets.”
Directed by Priyadarshan, Tezz, will release on April 27.

Saif-Jacqueline to set screen on fire!


Saif Ali Khan and Jacqueline Fernandes will be seen in Ramesh Taurani’s upcoming flick Race 2. They are ready to scorch the screen with their fierce chemistry.
Race Producer Ramesh Taurani confirmed the news and said, “The actors have been trained for a sword fencing sequence formulated by action director Peter Hein. We have specially flown down trainers from Vietnam for this sequence. Saif and Jacqueline have both given it their best to make it a mind-blowing sequence which we are planning to shoot soon.”
Race director duo Abbas-Mustan said, “Both stars have an important action sequence opposite each other in Race 2 so both have to match their energy and level of action. Jacqueline has taken a lot of interest and dedicated herself completely to getting her actions and facial expressions right. We were surprised to see her level of commitment. Many days, she managed to practise for up to four hours at a stretch. Whereas, Saif, who has been practising daily, is still not satisfied. So he has decided to train more to learn the art properly.”
A source said, “The original plan was to shoot the sequence in Mumbai but later, directors found an exotic location in Turkey. This is a major schedule of the film and will be shot for 65 days starting May 1. Both stars will practise for an hour daily before the shoot.”
“It’s a three and a half minute intensive action sequence between the actors in martial art form,” the source added.
The film is slated for release on Jan 25, 2013.

Barfi’s biggest secret out!


Anurag Basu is very upset about the loss of his film Barfi’s big surprise element.
Ranbir’s “old man” look is for his upcoming film Barfi!
Basu confirmed the news, and added, “I was at the airport when I first caught a glimpse of Ranbir and that too on mute. I was shocked. I thought someone had put Barfi!’s first look out there without my knowledge!”
Basu says he made some frantic calls, and was told that it was an ad. “I caught the complete ad later and was taken aback with what I saw. Ranbir’s getup in the TV ad is almost identical to that of his old-age look in Barfi!. I was disappointed.”
A source close to the film added, “Anurag was very angry. He and his producer UTV had taken great pains to keep the look under wraps. But with the ad, the look is out and so is the big surprise.”
When asked if he has had a word with Ranbir about the issue, Anurag said, “Yes I have. But I have also shot several TV?commercials with Ranbir in the past and I know that he sticks to the brief that he is given, without asking any questions. I spoke to him a couple of days back and he simply smiled. When Ranbir smiles usko sab maf hai.”
Basu does not deny being disappointed. But he is in an exceptionally forgiving mood. “What can I say and what can I do? We had really taken a lot of pain to guard his look and keep it under wraps. But I guess it had to happen this way. So it’s fine now.”

Unlike Shahrukh and Unlike Shahrukh and Irrfan, Aamir never detained abroad!


Not alone Shahrukh Khan, but Irrfan Khan has also been stopped a number of times international airports for sudden checks. However, Aamir Khan who also shares the same surname with Shahrukh and Irrfan, has never been stopped for inquiry.
“I was never detained,” Aamir Khan told reporters.
On Thursday, Shah Rukh was stopped at the New York airport for nearly two hours. This was the second time SRK had to face such an embarrassment. Though the US immigration authorities apologised, yet, the incident did not go well with New Delhi. They reacted telling Washington this “habit of detention and then apology” won’t do.
Irrfan said: “Even I have been stopped many-a-times at airports at immigration.”

“Whenever you cross immigration, you give your passport and they would ask you the purpose of your visit. And then they would suddenly check something on their computer and their perception changes,”
Irrfan told reporters, at the launch of the DVD of “Paan Singh Tomar”.
“They take away your phone and do not allow you to call anyone. They call the police and take you in and you can’t question them. This is system’s ignorance…Their system is not foolproof. When all verifications are properly done, then they leave you,” he added.
