Sonakshi to star opposite Akshay in Prabhudeva's directorial venture
Post Dabangg, Sonakshi Sinha's career is certainly on a roll. While she bagged the 'Best Debutant Award' at all the leading award functions, she is also bagging some really plum projects. Even as she begins her shoot for Shirish Kunder's Joker opposite Akshay Kumar from next week, the pretty lass has already signed another film opposite the Khiladi Kumar. Sonakshi would be seen opposite Akshay in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's home production to be directed by Prabhudeva. Surely this girl is going places and how!Sanjay Dutt, Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn in Bangkok
A get-together bringing together two Bollywood teams of A-listers shooting simultaneously in Bangkok is now being planned by two of our biggest filmmakers. Anees Bazmee and David Dhawan have more in common right now than meets the eye. Considered comic maestros of great mirth worth, they are both in Bangkok shooting simultaneously for two films almost adjacent to one another. Under normal circumstances the stars from the two units would be hopping over and hobnobbing with one another, especially since Devgn-Dutt-Dhawan bond magnificently with Salman. Blame it on the killing mutually incompatible schedules. But the Rascals team is not able to spend time with the Ready team. With David Dhawan helming Sanjay Dutt's first production Rascals and Anees Bazmee determined to wrap up Ready, the pace is naturally fanatical. The two units find themselves working at a pace that does not invite socializing. Repeated attempts to party together have been thwarted. Anees is about to change that. He's planning a big get-together for the two units this week. Says Anees, "It's really strange. We all love one another in the two units. But we aren't able to spend time together here in Bangkok. We're doing night shoots. We haven't had a moment to breathe. I'm now planning a dinner for both the units. We HAVE to meet. And I've to make it happen. We hardly get to meet in Mumbai. Chalo,Bangkok hi sahi." It's called weighing the bros and the cons.Live Chat: Priyanka Chopra on February 12 at 1830 hrs IST

Don't miss!After Ragini MMS, Sid Jain announces his next film Shaadi Of The Dead
It's wedding season throughout India and what better day to bring you this news story than today. A month ago you were informed on iRock and Sid Jain's speedy production of Ragini MMS and his association with his new formed team of directors who will be directing films under iRock. As I'd love to call Sid, this Speedy Gonzales is showing no signs of taking it easy. iRock and Sid Jain have just announced their next film to go on floor after Ragini MMS. After branching into horror, Sid and company have come up with a complete contrast. His next production is titled Shaadi Of The Dead, a mad, crazy and romantic comedy that unfolds like a fun roller coaster ride, with a bunch of zombies. Invite - Shaadi Of The Dead, Invitees - Zombies and the Venue has been finalised too. The film is set in the yamla-pagla land - Punjab. Navdeep Singh, the director of Manorama Six Feet Under is held responsible to handle the marriage. In other words, he is the director of the film. On further enquiry, Sid Jain tells me, "Firstly, let me make this clear that the illustration you are looking at isn't the final poster of the film. It's a basic font for the purpose of creating the final poster of Shaadi Of The Dead. I am very proud to be the producer of India's first zombie-comedy film. It's going to be an iconic 'youth' film, as far as I am concerned, and will redefine youth entertainment for this decade in India. It's mad, crazy, romantic, funny, violent and super cool. It's like a 2 hour theme park ride." What ritual does a married couple go through after their marriage? The answer - Honeymoon. And what has the word 'Honeymoon' got to do with Shaadi Of The Dead? Well, in the words of Sid Jain, "We've already started work on the sequel story - 'Honeymoon Of The Dead', and a 50 page zombie-comedy graphic novel 'Bollywood of the Dead' is ready to be printed and released in the summer of 2011. This will also be adapted into a film next year." And if surprises have got a synonym, it has to be Sid. Mr. Jain further shocks me by informing, "We are also working on a crazy-zombie reality TV show soon and launching an Indian zombie website by the end of this year. It's a complete franchise property for iRock." And as he ends his answer, he pauses, recalls, and utters, "The writing team of Shaadi Of The Dead and Honeymoon Of The Dead is the one that also wrote Ragini MMS"The star cast of Shaadi Of The Dead will be announced in a few weeks.

Sunidhi Chauhan records duet with Enrique Iglesias
Our entertainers are constantly floating pointed rumours about their purported collaboration with international stars. Talk of Hollywood movie projects supposedly featuring our desi A-listers with Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Michael Douglas, etc. came and went. What happened?Finally, it's the seductive-throated Sunidhi Chauhan who has done it. She will be part of an international album titled Euphoria where she will share tracks with the likes of Usher, Akon and Nicole from Pussycat Dolls. Sunidhi has crooned a love duet entitled 'I can feel you' with none other than international singing sensation Enrique Iglesias for the album
Apparently, Sunidhi was chosen to sing for this global album alongside Usher, Akon and Nicole, as her voice was perceived to have an international feel to it. When contacted, Sunidhi is most reluctant to talk about the song. She said, "As you rightly said our artistes are all the time talking about collaborating with international artistes. Finally, nothing happens. I don't want to sound like one of those proposal makers. So all I'll say at the moment is, yes I've recorded the duet that you mentioned. Beyond that I'll let the song speak for itself." Shamir Tandon who has composed the duet for Sunidhi with Enrique is far more forthcoming. "It's absolutely true that Sunidhi has sung for a global album featuring Usher, Akon and Nicole. I've composed Sunidhi's song with Enrique. We are not like those wanna-go-west Indian musicians who just talk about collaborations. Talk doesn't mean anything. I am proud to say I'm one of the first Bollywood musicians to have composed for Enrique Iglesias. Having successfully and legitimately collaborated in the past with the Boy Band Blue for 'One Love' in the Rakht and having composed a duet for Bret Lee with Asha Bhosleji, I can comfortably say I've gone from talk to actually doing it." The album Euphoria containing Sundhi's duet with Enrique Iglesias releases in March.
