Kader Khan returns, this time on small screen
If you thought that the TV world was buzzing with programmes like Bigg Boss and KBC, then, wait no further for the TV will be at its 'buzziest' best! The good news is that Bollywood's original funny man Kader Khan is back in action. Kader Khan will now be seen on the TV show 'Hi Padosi... Kaun Hai Doshi?' to be aired on Sahara One channel from today. The show's all about two neighbours -- the Gujarati Hansmukh Lal Mehta and the Punjabi Harvansh Lal Mehta. On both their doors, they have nameplates reading H L Mehta, thus leading to many funny situations. After having 'Khan-quered' Bollywood, looks like Kader Khan saab is now all set to sway the viewers off their feet with his new serial.Ruskin Bond to do cameo in Saat Khoon Maaf
By now its common knowledge that Vishal Bhardwaj's Priyanka Chopra starrer Saat Khoon Maaf is based on celebrated author Ruskin Bond's short story 'Susannah's Seven Husbands.' However, what is now known is the fact that Ruskin Bond will also be seen in a cameo in the film. Ruskin confirmed about his appearance in the film during an interactive session at the ongoing Jaipur literary fest. Apparently, Bond was even actively involved while the screenplay of the film was being written.
Madhur to use the song 'Koi Hota' from Mere Apne in Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji
The redoubtable Gulzar plays more than a passing muse in Madhur Bhandarkar's comedy Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji. Not only is the title of Bhandarkar's film taken from the song that Gulzar Saab wrote for Ishqiya last year, it now appears that Bhandarkar has been running from pillar to post trying to secure the rights to an old Gulzar classic song 'Koi Hota Jisko Apna Hum Apna Keh Lete Yaaron' from the film Mere Apne.This 1971 film was Gulzar saab's first directorial undertaking. The Kishore Kumar number that Madhur Bhandarkar so wanted remains to this day one of the most beloved Kishore Kumar tracks from the 1970s. Bhandarkar apparently had to agree to desist from tampering with the song before he was given the right to use the song in Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji. Bhandarkar confirms, "Yes, I've acquired the rights of Gulzar saab's song 'Koi Hota Jisko Apna' from Mere Apne. It's one of my favourite songs written by Gulzar saab. Aur kya composition kiya hai Salil Chowdhary ne! It would be criminal to change the track in anyway. I've used it in the original form. Who can sing like Kishore-da today?" Bhandarkar describes himself as the biggest Gulzar fan. "I know each and every film and lyric that he has written by heart. In Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji, even the title is a tribute to Gulzar saab. As for the song 'Koi Hota', it fitted perfectly for a situation in my film. I was determined to get it." Madhur Bhandarkar is very keen to show Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji to Gulzar saab. "I know he hardly goes to any public event. But he has to see my film to know what a fan I am of his work and how much he has influenced me."
Will SRK and Aamir battle it out at the Box Office this Christmas?
Earlier, till a few monsoons back, film-makers felt Diwali, Eid and summer vacations were the best period to release their films. Suddenly, crucial dates that coincide with festivals, important events and holidays have become all-important for actors and film-makers. With Aamir Khan hitting gold during the Christmas week [TAARE ZAMEEN PAR, GHAJINI, 3 IDIOTS], Salman Khan back on tracks during the Eid week [WANTED, DABANGG] and Ajay Devgn eyeing the Diwali week [GOLMAAL RETURNS, ALL THE BEST, GOLMAAL 3], the Fridays that coincide with Republic Day, Valentine's Day, Independence Day, Gandhi Jayanti and Lohri are also being eyed by one and all. While producers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar have confirmed DON 2 for Christmas [23 December], there's talk that Aamir Khan's Reema Kagti-directed starrer might also make it in the same week, which, in simpler words, means that the two mighty Khans will battle it out at the box-office. However, the news is untrue. First of all, how can two big-budget films, produced by the same production house [both Aamir and SRK starrers are produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar], release on the same day? "The Aamir starrer is definitely not releasing n Christmas this year. Even though we would complete the shooting at a stretch, we want to devote ample time to post-production and marketing of this film. In fact, the Aamir starrer will only arrive in 2012. Yes, DON 2 is slated for Christmas release this year and it's 200% confirmed," Ritesh informs me. So all you guys [on Facebook and Twitter especially], hoping to see the mighty clash between the two Khans, should stop speculating henceforth."I work on one script at a time" - Abbas Tyrewala
Almost every writer these days tells you that he's loaded with story ideas and how several scripts [with complete screenplay and dialogue] are ready to be picked up by prospective film-makers. It's like going to a grocery store, where, if you don't like a particular soft drink brand, you pick up another instead. But writer turned director Abbas Tyrewala thinks differently. Come to think of it, one would expect the skilled writer of several interesting films and also director of JAANE TU YA JAANE NA and JHOOTHA HI SAHI to be ready with a few scripts in his cabinet. But he's clueless about what he's planning to make next. "I don't work that way. I don't have a bank of scripts with me. I work on one script at a time. If it excites me, it gets made," Abbas states. Tell him that one eagerly looks forward to his next film and he replies promptly, "So am I!"Live Chat: Samir Karnik on January 25 at 1500 hrs IST
After making his directorial debut with the Vivek Oberoi- Aishwarya Rai starrer Kyun! Ho Gaya Na in 2004, Samir Karnik went on to direct movies such as Nanhe Jaisalmer and Heroes. Samir's latest release Yamla Pagla Deewana brings back the 3 Deols on-screen like never before. As the film grows from strength to strength with each passing day, we at Bollywood Hungama give you a chance to have a live video chat with the man himself- Samir Karnik on Tuesday, January 25, at 1500 hrs IST.

Aamir Khan starrer Bombay Velvet will be set in 1960s
Even though the nominations for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards will be announced tomorrow, we won't be surprised if Danny Boyle is anxiously chewing his finger nails. 127 Hours is one of his finest works on celluloid. Back on the home turf, here in Bollywood, there is more of Danny Boyle being talked about and the below breaking story is the reason why...
Recall the Anurag Kashyap and Danny Boyle film Bombay Velvet? Recall Aamir Khan being cast in the film? Well, now the news from one of the 'khufia' sources is that the East - West collaboration is going to be one of the biggest films Bollywood will ever witness on the big screen. The source says, "Bombay Velvet is a grand project. The cost of the sets alone of Bombay Velvet is going to cost Rs. 15 to 17 crores because it's a period film" Now that's some news! On further probing and he tells me, "Bombay Velvet is set in the era of 1960's and Danny Boyle wants to make sure that the era re-created should be for real, just like all Hollywood films showcase it and it will take almost a year's worth of preparations. At the moment, Danny is busy with his success of 127 Hours and will look into the film once he is over with the Oscars." We also hear that the Twilight Players are also a part of Bombay Velvet. Yes, the trio who gave us an unforgettable performance with their popping and locking dance steps in Anurag Kashyap's Dev D will be seen together once again. "Yes, the Twilight Players who danced to 'Pardesi' in Dev D are confirmed as a part of Bombay Velvet as of now. Whether they will be acting this time, only Anurag Kashyap will be able to tell," says the source. Bombay Velvet will surely be the biggest collaboration of Hollywood and Bollywood. But whether Aamir Khan's banner will back the project is a question that remains unanswered.
