Who’s hotter - Vidya Balan or Silk Smitha?

Posted: 20 Jul 2011 05:56 AM PDT


Vidya Balan has never been a sexy siren. Despite locking lips with her male co-stars and even mouthing dialogues seasoned with choicest of expletives, Vidya has remained the typical demure, sari-clad lady one would take home to meet their mom. Not for her the trappings of a sex bomb.

But Vidya has defied the stereotypes and shocked her fans by taking up the role of Silk Smitha in director Milan Luthria's film Dirty Picture.

For the uninitiated, Silk Smitha was the undisputed siren of the south film industry in the 80s and 90s, popular for her dare-to-bare acts in a number of films. Her plump, curvy body which she revealed without inhibitions was her drawcard.

Now, Dirty Picture, based on the tragic life of Silk Smitha, pitches Vidya Balan as the seductress, dressed in skimpy blouses and thigh-baring ghagras. The first glimpse of Vidya's makeover as Silk Smitha came out recently, and has been met with mixed reactions from film buffs.

Some feel Vidya isn't plump and curvy enough to play Silk Smitha, while the others have wholeheartedly approved of Vidya as the siren.

Vidya Balan talks about her secret love affair

Posted: 20 Jul 2011 05:52 AM PDT


t's a love affair Vidya Balan can't keep secret anymore. And it's not with a man but with a city.

Vidya Balan admits she's obsessed with Kolkata, a city that's been her muse for many performances. A decade ago, she made her acting debut with Goutam Halder's Bhalo Theko and since then, has acted in Parineeta (2005) and Kahani, both set in Bengal.

The Kerala-born actor says: "I don't know. I have stopped trying to understand why. I have just accepted that there is a relation. My mom keeps saying that there might be a relation from a past life because I do not know anyone with so much of love for Bengal. Even the man in my life will have to deal with another love affair, and that is Kolkata."

She adds that she's even learnt Bengali tunes saying, "I know how to sing some songs and rhymes. I keep on learning," she said, adding that her unflinching love for Kolkata is so self-evident that people often mistake her to being a Bengali. "The first time I went to Kolkata, I felt a sense of familiarity," says Vidya, who will be seen playing a siren in Dirty Picture.

Check out the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movie review.

Emma is quoted as saying by femalefirst.co.uk: "I feel like young girls are told they have to be this kind of princess and be all this sweet stuff, it's all bull***t."

She added: "I identify with more of being a warrior princess, so if I had to be a princess, I'd have to kick some a** first. That would have a lot of people terrified."

Following her appearance in the last installment of the Harry Potter movies - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Emma will next be seen in My Week with Marilyn, which is due for a release this year.

Katrina Kaif does a hot item for Salman Khan

Posted: 20 Jul 2011 05:44 AM PDT


Salman Khan's upcoming film Bodyguard just got hotter. The movie will open with a sizzling item song from none other than Katrina Kaif.
Salman Khan is taking personal interest in making sure that brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri's production turns out to be a crowd puller at theatres. Buzz is that he has asked Katrina Kaif to do an item song for the opening credits of Bodyguard that stars Kareena Kapoor opposite Salman.

The item will be on the lines of the opening credits of several Bond movies, and it will be a challenge for Katrina to make the item look slick, sexy and stylish. In fact, Salman has told Katrina to outdo her Sheila shtick with the Bodyguard item.

The song will be composed by Himesh Reshammiya and choreographed by Ganesh Acharya, both of who owe a lot to Salman for their fame and success. Himesh doesn't compose for films that he doesn't act in, but he has made an exception for Salman and is coming up with a perky item song, we hear.

However, Katrina's item might turn out to be a thorn in the side of Kareena Kapoor who certainly wouldn't want to be outshined by Katrina in the film that has Bebo as the solo heroine, with the other girl Hazel Keech mostly being a supporting actor.

Whatever the case, we're sure the fans would throng to the theatres to watch Katrina's Bond-inspired item song.

Ajay Devgan has iterated what many of the staunch fans of Salman Khan already hold: that Salman has the best body in the industry.

Ajay Devgn has himself joined the Bollywood brawn brigade by developing a muscular body for his upcoming film Singham. The beefed up look so impressed Salman Khan that the superstar posted a compliment on his Twitter page: "Oye teri !!! Baap re baap. Superb ajay's body is looking . Too good."

However, the 42-year-old Devgn thinks that it is Salman who possesses the best body in the industry.
