In Hindi Movie 'Department', Amitabh Bachchan to play Gangster Posted: 22 Sep 2010 04:33 AM PDT Ram Gopal Varma has once again teamed up with Amitabh Bachchan for "Department" and says the film will see the megastar playing a gangster-turned-politician. He also clarified that his next directorial venture is neither a sequel to "Company" nor a prequel to "Ab Tak Chhappan" "All I can tell you at the moment is that Mr. Bachchan plays a gangster-turned-politician in 'Department'. Whom he's modelled on is open to conjecture and I am certainly not telling," said Varma whose last film with Big B was "Rann". "There are too many misconceptions floating around about the project. Mr. Bachchan is not playing a cop in 'Department'. It is not a sequel to 'Company' nor a prequel to 'Ab Tak Chhappan'," he added. The film, said to be the most expensive project of Varma, is being feverishly scripted. Details are being kept desperately under wraps since it involves some volatile characters. In the film, Varma wants Big B's character to be a kind of grassroot-level superhero. "I've always seen Mr. Bachchan as a hero of the masses. I want him to be cast as larger-than-life hero in 'Department'," he said. Interestingly, Varma who has cast Amitabh and Abhishek in father-son role in "Sarkar" and "Sarkar Raj", has not cast them in the same role in "Department". "No, Mr. Bachchan and Abhishek are not father and son in 'Department'. Abhishek and Sanjay Dutt are cops. They share a pupil-mentor relationship." In real-life too Abhishek looks up to Dutt. "That's why I cast them as mentor and pupil," said Varma. When asked about playing a gangster-turned-politician in "Department", Big B said: "Oh, is that what Ramu has cast me as in 'Department'? I've not yet discussed the antecedents of my role with him."

Nervous Sridevi almost trips at Neeta Lulla's show Posted: 22 Sep 2010 04:24 AM PDT Bollywood actress Sridevi, who walked the ramp for ace designer Neeta Lulla as the show stopper at the Lakme Fashion Week, came across as very nervous and saved herself twice from falling flat on the ramp. The beautiful actress, who was sporting a silverish-grey body-fitting gown made an impressive entry on the ramp but soon her nervousness came to the fore as she was found struggling with the train of her dress. However, the actress still found the experience of walking the ramp quite pleasant. "It was great but at the same time very hard for me," she told reporters here. The designer was elated too and revealed: "It was fantastic that on my 25th anniversary Sridevi walked the ramp and so many people actually made it to the show." When asked about the actress' nervousness, Lulla clarified: "As far as I think, it happens some times when you walk the ramp after a long time." Lulla's show, which showcased a collection inspired by the repository of work done by her over the last 25 years in both prêt as well as couture, boasted of Bollywood celebrities like Rani Mukherji, Hema Malini, Yash Chopra, Mugdha Godse, Tabu, Juhi Chawla and Amisha Patel, among others. Actors Akshay Kumar, Rannvijay and director Vipul Shah also came down to attend the show in a retro avatar to promote their forthcoming film "Action Replayy". The film also stars Aishwarya Rai and is slated to hit screens Nov 5. "I really enjoyed the show. Till this Diwali, I will come only in retro look. I don't think any look has been as good as of the 1970s," Akshay said. As far as the collection goes, the ensembles were a mix of western and Indian designs in a deluge of colours including beige, silver, yellow, orange, green, blue, pink, lilac and red. Embellishments and Swarovski crystals were also used to marl the silver jubilee of the brand.

Khallas girl Eesha Koppikhar to support cause of the girl child Posted: 22 Sep 2010 04:18 AM PDT Bollywood actress Eesha Koppikhar has joined an NGO to support the cause of the girl child in the country. On her birthday, Sunday, the actress joined Childreach International, an international NGO based in Britain. "I have always believed that child is the father of the man and have always wanted to do something for the children of our country. In India, we see a lot of issues like female foeticide, infanticide, that a girl child faces. Being a woman contributing to helping stopping of these issues is a great opportunity for me," said Eesha in a press statement. Naresh Chaudhary, Country Director for the India office of Childreach International, said Eesha's involvement will inspire youngsters to join the cause. "With Eesha's help, I am sure that many youngsters will come forward to participate in our Challenge Events," he said. "The money raised would go towards funding projects aimed at improving prospects for the girl child," he added. Childreach International supports child welfare programmes to help create awareness on the deprivations faced by children around India. It arranges adventure events for corporates and students while sensitising them towards a social issue. A fee is charged from them, a part of which goes in the logistics and the rest in charity.

Hollywood actor Mel Gibson, ex-girlfriend's personal emails leaked Posted: 22 Sep 2010 12:04 AM PDT Hollywood actor Mel Gibson's troubled relationship with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva is back under the spotlight following the leak of an email exchange between the two.

Now a series of emails which are said to have been sent between the pair shortly after the alleged fight have been obtained, reports tmz.com. One message, reportedly sent by Gibson, simply reads, "How's your tooth?" and it is followed by another email which reads: "Could you please call me... I want to tell you how unspeakably sorry I am." Another email allegedly sent by Gibson, tells of his personal woes and his attempts to rebuild the romance. "I am beginning to actually see, how screwed up I have been... I love you. I want to be here for you and for Lucy... I was terrified of where we were going and my outbursts and the potential for damage..." "I really am losing my grip. I desperately need a solution. I'm sorry it has to affect you. I can't stand anything any more. I'm full of s**t and need to shovel some out... I try to be ok but it overpowers me... The pain is too great and everywhere I turn is making it heavier... I'm a f**king failure." A response, from Grigorieva reads: "All I want is for you to be happy. To have no guilt, to smile again. With me or without me, that ever works for you. You are an incredible person. One of the kind. You deserve happiness, deserve love. Please don't torcher yourself like that, please! You didn't do anything to be so hard on yourself."
