Kareena to miss the Toronto premiere of 'RA.One'

Kareena Kapoor, better known of late as the 'Khan Queen', finds herself in an awkward situation thanks to that very celebrated title. The dates of the Toronto premiere of her 'RA.One' with Shah Rukh Khan and the shooting schedule of Reema Katgi's 'Dhuaan' with Aamir Khan are apparently clashing. 

Not surprisingly Bebo has chosen Mr Perfectionist, the Khan she has been raving about ever since their blockbuster film '3 Idiots', over 'RA.One'. A source, however, defends her decision of choosing Aamir over Shah Rukh Khan. 

"Kareena has to take some special training for an underwater sequence in the film and she needs time for that too. So going for the premiere is out of the question." The shoot sequence in question was supposed to be shot in the outskirts of Mumbai. It was cancelled last minute due to certain technical issues. 

Now, apparently, the location for the shoot has been finally finalised. Since it's one of the last few scenes to be shot, it cannot be delayed again. Adds the source, "Kareena is the female lead and SRK obviously wants her around as much as possible. She is trying her best to attend the Dubai and London premieres because she does not want to miss the international premieres of her film." 

However, she has not been able to work around her dates for the third global premiere. "This film is obviously her biggest this year, and she definitely wants to be a part of all promotional events. It's just unfortunate that the premiere is now clashing with the shoot dates of Dhuaan." The actress will be shooting for Dhuaan on October 26, and hence will not be part of the premiere in Toronto or any other promotional activity on that day for the ShahRukh-starrer.

Priyanka thinks working with Kareena can be fun!

Mumbai: Actresses Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor have always been on a sour note. They have been rivals on screen as well as off the screen. But Priyanka now says that she would love to work with Bebo.

Since Priyanka was dating Kareena’s ex-beau, Shahid, media often reported about the animosity between the two divas. But their bitterness reached another level when PC refused to do an item number in Saif’s home production ‘Agent Vinod’.

According to the sources PC did not want to do an item number in ‘Agent Vinod’ since it was also Bebo’s film.

When Saif was recently asked by media at an event, if he was upset that PC didn`t want to do the song, and he replied, "I am completely fine with that, as most actresses do not want to share screen space with Bebo."

On the other hand Priyanka said, working with Kareena would be fun if it happens. "I was approached for the item song, but it never went further than a conversation. I would love to do a song with Kareena in her film; it would be fun. I believe Agent Vinod is shaping up to be a fantastic film, but I haven`t even heard the song yet. So please, stop the speculation."

'Kareena Kapoor out of Shahid Kapoor's guest list'

Shahid Kapoor is leaving no stone unturned for his home-production, Mausam. Shahid has personally invited everyone from Bollywood for the premiere of Mausam. Calling his ex-flames Vidya Balan and Priyanka Chopra but leaving Kareena Kapoor, the one woman with whom he had the longest relationship.

A source said, "Shahid and Pankaj decided the guestlist. They personally called or texted everyone from the industry. But maybe, Shahid didn't want Kareena."

This comes as a surprise because Shahid and Kareena have maintained that that they are cordial to each other and would love to work together again after Jab We Met.

Shahid and Kareena had also been very warm towards each other during the Filmfare awards earlier this year. Saif was also present with Kareena. The three of them had exchanged pleasantries and spent time together.

The reason for their break-up still remains a mystery since both of them have remained tight-lipped about it and moved on. Kareena began dating Saif Ali Khan immediately while shooting for Tashan.

Shahid found love in Vidya Balan while shooting for Aziz Mirza's Kismet Konnection. However, once the film released, Shahid decided to move on. Soon, they stopped talking to each other. According to sources, they drifted apart because Shahid was attracted to tennis star Sania Mirza.

Though, Kareena has been going strong with the Chhote Nawab, it is not the same for Shahid. The actor was seen hanging out with Priyanka Chopra soon after Vidya. Shahid and Priyanka had an on-off relationship interspersed with a lot of fights.

However, they have not let their personal differences disrupt their professional lives. Shahid and Priyanka will be seen together in Kunal Kohli's next untitled film. The three girls in question were unavailable for comment.

Kareena Kapoor to marry before Sept. 2012?

Kareena Kapoor, undoubtedly, is amongst the top contenders for the number one position amongst Bollywood heroines. But what do numbers have to say about her future. On the eve of her birthday, astro-numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi tells us what's in store for Bebo as she completes 31 tomorrow.

"Kareena was born on the 21st September, 1980 which makes her a Number 3 (Jupiter) person in numerology. She is a Virgo (ruler Mercury – Number 5) and her destiny number also adds up to the same Number 3 (Jupiter). In that case, she is ruled by Number 3 (Jupiter) twice which is the planet of 'knowledge and wealth'. No wonder she is minting money be it her films, endorsements, stage shows etc. She also has a slight cusp of Libra (ruler Venus and Saturn – Numbers 6 and 8)" explains Bhavikk.

"Being a Number 3, Kareena is very practical towards life and takes her decisions herself. The mercurial effect of Number 5 can make her impatient and restless by nature. At the same time, she can also be a fast learner. She looks at things very rationally and thinks from the mind first and heart later".

"Kareena completes her 31st year and now enters the 32nd, which indicates 'speed' in both – her personal as well as professional life. There will be mostly positive developments and there are strong possibilities that even the 'wedding bells' will be heard before September next year. Yes, the chances are that bright for Bebo of getting hitched", says Bhavikk. Saif, are you listening? What are you waiting for?

"On the film front, after the super success of her last release 'Bodyguard', her work in ' Ra.One ' will be liked by one and all, but after that in ' Agent Vinod '; she will not only gain appreciation but even the film will be a box office hit".

Kareena Kapoor Turns 31: Same Wine, Older Bottle

Kareena Kapoor turned a year older on September 21, but don't think her sizzle is about to fizzle, nor is her proclivity to put her foot in her mouth reduce! 

A talent powerhouse, Kareena will endure as Bollywood's most charming loud mouth. She says it the way she sees it, which is with a lot of self serving bias. Modesty is not a trait you associate with Kareena, especially when it comes to her (considerable) talent, (dubious) style and (good) looks, in that order. 

Unlike the last few years that saw her fly off to exotic locales with beau Saif on her birthday, this year, she chose not to celebrate owing to Saif's father's illness. 

Kareena is currently basking in the glory of the super success of Bodyguard and the much-anticipated Diwali release of Ra.One with Shah Rukh Khan. 

Kareena made her debut in the industry when she was just 20 with Refugee and in the 11 years since has given remarkable performances in movies like Chameli, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Jab We Met, 3 idiots etc. She is often cited as the highest paid actress in Bollywood. 

Other than her work, Kareena has constantly been in the news for her personal life as well, be it her relationship with ex- Shahid Kapoor or current flame Saif, or her much talked about size zero figure (for just zero plus one day! She was recently in the news for replacing Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine, and allegedly charging a whopping Rs 8 crores for it. 

Kareena calls herself health conscious, is a vegetarian and does yoga regularly. 

She will soon be seen in Agent Vinod with Saif, and Reema Kagti's tentatively titled Dhuan with Aamir Khan. 

Saif recently said in an interview that he may be looking at next year for wedding, and Kareena has herself said in the past that 2012 may be the year when she gets hitched. We might just see a happily married her on her next birthday. 

Meanwhile, best wishes to the birthday girl!

Farhan Akhtar stunned with 3D trailer of RA.One

Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar was bowled over when superstar Shah Rukh Khan gave him a sneak peek into the 3D trailer of his mega-budget project RA.One. "@iamsrk showed us two songs and the trailer of RA.One in 3D last night... to put it simply... Outstanding!!!!" Farhan posted in his Twitter page Tuesday.

RA.One, a superhero film, is releasing this Diwali. Meanwhile, Farhan is busy wrapping up Don 2: The Chase Continues, a sequel to the 2006 film, Don: The Chase Begins Again, which itself is a remake of the 1978 film Don.

"Last song of Don in the cans... now the film is officially complete," he added.

The film, starring Shah Rukh in the lead, is set for release in December 2011.

Kareena Kapoor's birthday to be low-key affair

Bollywood Actress Kareena Kapoor’s birthday today will be a low-key affair. The actress along with beau actor Saif Ali Khan has postponed the big celebration to a later date due to Saif’s father Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi’s ill health. 

According to sources, the actor will be shooting for a brand commercial in the first half of the day and then spend the evening with her family. The family had apparently been making elaborate plans to celebrate her birthday with a lavish party to celebrate her recent success, they have postponed it for now. 

“Concerned for Saif’s father, Bebo and Saif are both in no mood to party at present. They only hope for his full recovery. It’s a sensitive issue and the mood is naturally sombre,” added the insider.

Kareena says, “We are all really worried and hope that he gets well soon.” As for her birthday, she says, “It’s the people around me who make my birthdays special, so whether it’s a lavish bash or a quiet dinner, it’s just as special for me.” 

Unlike several actors, Kareena reveals that getting a year older doesn’t worry her at all. “Heroines may have a short shelf life, but actresses don’t,” she smiles. “Besides, I’m not the kinds to chalk out plans for the future. I believe in ‘living the now’ and enjoying it to the fullest. And right now, I’m in a happy space professionally and personally,” adds. 

So, what’s the birthday wish going to be? “I’m working with the best in the industry, be it actors or filmmakers and I have a great guy to come back home too. What else can I ask for?” she smiles. More hits? “Hits are always welcome, but for me my happiness also has much to do with my family and friends, so just wishing for happiness always,” she signs off.

Next Year, I will Marry Kareena : Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan and his long-time girlfriend Kareena Kapoor might walk the aisle after the release of Saif's home production Agent Vinod. The otherwise shy Saif, dropped cues about his wedding plans at a recent promotional event.

He said that the wedding date would be announced after his home production Agent Vinod is completed. The actor is reportedly planning to settle down with Kareena next year. Evidently, even the movie is scheduled to be released on February 10, 2012. 

The 41-year-old actor, who walked as a show-stopper for designer Mandira Wirk at the ongoing Blenders Pride fashion tour, was seen wearing a black, sophisticated Band Gala suit with matching shoes. He also revealed his wedding outfit,"Since I belong to Bhopal, I will definitely wear an achka," Saif said.

Kareena Kapoor’s wax statue to be unveiled in Madame Tussauds

Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor is the latest Bollywood celebrity to be waxed at Madame Tussauds.

However, the 30-year-old actress will be the lone Bollywood figure at the museum in Blackpool, as the other five stars- Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai have their statues at Madame Tussauds, London.


Kareena will also flag off a global exhibition where the Bollywood wax figures will travel to six cities including London, Hong Kong and Bangkok, reflecting a growing global interest in Bollywood.

"It is an honour and a privilege for me to have my wax-figure at Madame Tussauds and even more so to flag off a global Bollywood exhibition," Kareena said.

Her wax figure will be unveiled in October 2011.

Kareena Kapoor stuns all in her latest desi avatar

Kareena Kapoor is taking her desi image seriously. She wowed the audience in Bodygaurd with her Indian look and now when she appeared for the music launch of Ra. One, she looked stunning in a red saree.

Kareena, it seems is planning to revive the fashion of wearing a waistband on a saree. Shah Rukh Khan, who was also present was quite kicked about the song Chammak Challo, which is already gaining on the popularity charts.

Later Shah Rukh even joked that Kareena has no longer time for him, "yeh aaj kal sirf chote chote Khans ke saath kaam karti hain (She only works for smalltime Khans)." Arjun Rampal who plays the villain in Ra. One, also came out from his hiding for the music launch. But he was not in his Ra. One look.

The Khans want me, I'm lucky says Kareena Kapoor

With three back-to-back blockbusters, you almost expect Kareena Kapoor to be sitting pretty on her throne with a tiara on, waving her magic wand.

Instead, she remains as we know her; candid and confident as she talks about love, life and leading the big, bad Bollywood race.

You must have your hands full, guarding the number one status you've reclaimed with Bodyguard.

I am more than happy being number 100 on the list, too! But that doesn't take away from the fact that Bodyguard has shattered records. I'm enjoying every bit of it. I work to see and sense this adulation, not for tags that are hardly permanent.

But a Salman Khan film is always all about him. The heroine is generally incidental.

I can proudly say that here's a Salman film where the girl finally has something to do apart from hanging around and singing songs. Bodyguard is predominantly about the heroine. There is no movie without her.

Many say you're piggyback riding on the Khans' success. Is it easy to earn a hit that way?

It was the Khans who came to me. They could have chosen anyone, but they wanted me. If I don't work with Aamir, Salman, Saif, Shah Rukh and Imran, with whom am I supposed to work with? They are practically half the industry. I'm pretty lucky. I mean, I'm the only actress to have worked with Aamir in two back-to-back films.

Your equation with the three big Khans must be quite different

They basically see me as Karisma Kapur's little sister. With each of them, the relationship is very professional. Like Salman has his quirks, so do SRK and Aamir. They also know how I work, so there is a comfort level.

Is Aamir your favourite of the lot?

Everyone knows I am a huge Aamir fan. We share great chemistry, but I think Saif and I also make a deadly pair in Agent Vinod. It's probably why he insisted on casting me in this film.

Are you insecure when Saif casts other heroines in his home productions?

Not at all! I'm actually looking forward to a film where he'd be cast opposite Priyanka (Chopra). There's something very approachable about her and something very suave and sexy about Saif. Their pairing would work well.

On a personal note, we hear Saif and you are getting hitched next February.

I also hear about how many carats Saif has gifted me, and the desert we'll be serving at our wedding! It's very intriguing. I barely manage to meet my family and Saif and people are already planning my wedding in their heads.

You're doing the Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai sequel. Would you be comfortable if (former boyfriend) Shahid joins the cast?

I still have to read the script, but I would be okay with anyone.

Are you in touch with Shahid?

I don't pick up the phone and talk to him, but there is no bad blood between us. It's a chapter in my life both Saif and I respect, and it will always be like that.

Lastly, is there a role you recently saw and wish you did?

All of Meryl Streep's roles. It's incredible what she does. I wish, when I am 60, I work as much as her. That would be something.

Why hide marriage plans, especially since you've said you're ready for it?

I am the only actress who can proudly proclaim to have a personal and professional life. I don't understand when people say things like they don't have time for love. I have given some of my biggest hits with Saif in my life.

What bigger proof that it works if you balance it out. There was a point when I said I want to do nothing but work. Now that has changed. My relationship is of utmost importance. So when a date is fixed, we will let everyone know.

Is there family pressure? What does your sister have to say?

She asks me to enjoy life and work at my own pace. Plus, nothing will change after marriage. I may cook for Saif when I get the time, but otherwise it's going to be the same.

RA.One will make Rs 200 crore: Kareena Kapoor

Bodyguard smashed many records, netting Rs 21.50 crore across India on its opening day, streaking way ahead of Ready (Rs 12.50 crore), 3 Idiots (2009, Rs 14 crore) and even Salman Khan’s last Eid blockbuster, Dabbang (2010, Rs 14.50 crore). As of Tuesday, the movie had netted Rs 128 crore across India, with a worldwide gross of Rs 215 crore.

And its lead actor, Kareena Kapoor is thrilled. “I spoke to Salman in the US post his surgery. We congratulated each other on our huge success and he asked me how it felt to feature in the No 1 and No 2 films of the year. I wondered which was which and he said we’d chat about it once he got back,” chuckles the actor, who after 3 Idiots and Golmaal 3, is being touted as the Rs 100 crore heroine.

Kareena admits that after they picturised the romantic, Teri Meri Prem Kahani, she was confident that the film would be a monstrous hit. “But I wasn’t expecting my movies to be competing with each other in terms of box-office collections. It’s something I’ve dreamt of for years, worked hard towards, and today, have no time to enjoy because I’m so busy.”

The actor is now eyeing a bumper Diwali with Shah Rukh Khan’s RA.One. “If Bodyguard made Rs 100 crore, then RA.One will make Rs 200 crore,” asserts Kareena, who plays a sweet and simple Punjabi wife and mother.

She adds, “Shah Rukh has done something spectacular.” The film’s music released on Monday with a live concert and she’s overwhelmed by the craze Chamak Challo has generated. “Everyone was waiting to see the full track. My fans like me in a sari, so do I. And now that the Size zero chapter is out of my life forever, I have the curves to carry off the desi girl look to perfection.” Kareena is equally enthused about another song, O Dildara…: “It’s a typical love song and I’m romancing Shah Rukh Khan. Wow!”

Shahrukh-Kareena get passionate in ‘Dildara’

As the track ‘Chammak Challo’ from SRK’s much-anticipated flick ‘Ra.One’ has already managed to create a lot of buzz, audiences have been eagerly waiting to catch a glimpse of the next track from the sci-fi movie.

They were surely not disappointed when the second song ‘Dildara’ was released yesterday, and in it SRK was seen romancing his leading lady Kareena Kapoor.

‘Ra.One’s latest track ‘Dildara’ released

The Bollywood superstar, who is definitely leaving no stone unturned to promote his flick, is delighted over the response the film’s music has been able to generate. 

Just a few minutes prior to release of the song, SRK tweeted, “Going live on raonmovie.com with Dildara in a few minutes...hope u all like it.” 

As expected, after a few hours following the release, almost all the social-networking sites were abuzz with people going gaga over the song. 

Despite the fact that ‘Ra.One’ is sci-fi movie in which King Khan plays the character of a superhero, the looks of the recently released track shows that SRK and Kareena are going to set the screen on fire with their sizzling chemistry. 

Meanwhile, music director duo Vishal-Shekhar is also on a high following the positive feedback that the music of the movie has received. 

“Mad reaction on Dildara. Phones going mad. Loving it,” Shekhar added after the release.

‘Ra.One’s official poster unveiled
The superhero flick has also grabbed many eye-balls after its official poster was released recently. 

The poster showcases SRK showing off his six pack abs as he carries an unconscious Kareena in his arms, clad in a dazzling red sari. 

‘Ra.One’, which has been directed by Anubhav Sinha, is currently in the post-production stages and is scheduled to hit the theatres during the Diwali weekend.

Kareena resumes shooting for Agent Vinod

Kareena Kapoor resumed shooting for Agent Vinod at Filmistan Studio yesterday. Shrugging off rumours that she had held-up boyfriend Saif Ali Khan’s home production and allotted dates to Salman Khan’s recently released Bodyguard and the Aamir Khan cop caper, Dhuan, the actor says, “They were filming five major action sequences that did not feature me. 

Since my solo action shots had already been canned, I moved to Bodyguard that was com

ing up for release. Even Saif was busy with his other film, Cocktail.

I was waiting for him to finish before we resumed work on Agent Vinod.” During the course of the weeklong schedule, Kareena will be shooting an action-packed song and hopes to wrap up the film by September. 

Saif, who was called away to New Delhi when his father Mansoor Ali Khan suddenly fell ill with a lung infection, joined her on the set on Monday. 

Peeved over constant media speculation about keeping Saif dangling, Kareena points out that her producer-beau was well aware that she was juggling five big films this year — Salman Khan’s Bodyguard that opened this Eid, Shah Rukh Khan’s Diwali sparkler RA.One, Aamir Khan’s Dhuan that comes on Republic Day followed by nephew Imran’s Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu that releases on Valentine’s Day and then Agent Vinod, which could release in December or early next year. “It’s unlikely that I’d delay Saif’s film. What’s his is mine too, so Agent Vinod is as much my baby as it is Saif’s,” she asserts.

Meanwhile Kareena is excited about Bodyguard’s historic march at the box-office. “Ever since the first promo was unveiled I’ve been waiting for Eid,” she says, adding, “I knew that it was a perfect festival release, the right film with the right mood. It’s one of my best roles. Divya is a lot like Geet from Jab We Met (2007), the girl-next-door, who everyone loves. My fans want to see this the kind of Kareena.”

Priyanka Chopra is hotter than Kareena Kapoor : Shahid Kapoor

Shahid Kapoor was in a sticky situation when he was questioned, “Who is hotter? Priyanka Chopra or Kareena Kapoor”. And the actor answered that he finds Priyanka hotter than Kareena.

Though Shahid likes to stay mum when asked about the matters of the heart, he admits that he was never a loner. The star whose Mausam will hit the theaters soon confesses that he always used to be in relationships. But as for now he is enjoying his single status and has learnt that happiness comes from within and is not dependent on someone. Yes, he is very much single and ready to mingle. The actor gave a candid interview to Filmfare, talking about films, life and how he is a hopelessly romantic.

When asked whom he finds sexy, Priyanka or Kareena, he chose not to take names. But when it came to hotness quotient, Shahid rated Priyanka above Kareena and said, “Personally, I think is Priyanka is hotter.”

Shahid and Priyanka have started shooting for Kunal Kohli’s Teri Meri Kahani, and Shahid is happy that he could do a love story with Priyanka.

Was he waiting for a good romantic film to do with Priyanka? Shahid replies that he has rediscovered how much he enjoys shooting with Priyanka and admires her acting skills.

What about love? Shahid is not scared, he wants to fall madly in love and he won’t hide anything. But he also lets out a warning that this time he won’t be easy to “pin down”.

Movie Review: Bodyguard

Movie: BodyguardDirector: Siddique
Starring: Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor
Rating: * * *

There are three movies struggling to emerge from Salman Khan's Popeye-like biceps. A cheeky, live-my-life movie where a bodyguard who travels by local train gets to share space with a princess who lives in a palace in the fictional Jaisinghpur. A sexy, physical romance where Khan's pectorals are in conversation with Kareena Kapoor's aesthetically curved belly, bared in a sari that stays up through sheer will power. And a social drama which pits a feudal sarkar-raj mindset with a modern urge to choose love. 

Unfortunately all three sub plots are crushed under the mighty weight of the Khan star machine. It is relentless. Khan invents dance steps which will no doubt be immediately cloned in wedding parties across India, flexing his biceps and twisting his calves. He finds everyday elements to beat his opponents, from tree trunks to shovels, and doesn't think twice about using the latter as a back-scratching device. He also makes jokes in rhyme (I'm not a fool/You think I'm in nursery school?). When a local train is going in the wrong direction, he simply flies through the air using cables to get to his destination. 

Anyone who has watched Khan's recent movies will recognise the signs -- a killer dialogue which will be remembered till the next blockbuster is manufactured, a signature ring tone, and a pre-fight ritual-in this case, it is taking off his watch. The familiarity is somewhat comforting. The fort where the climactic action scene is staged, with Aditya Pancholi as a worthy opponent, has appeared in Wanted. The shirt flying off and revealing Khan's taut torso is achieved with a jet of water and not wind as in Dabbangg, though the effect is the same. And Khan, as bodyguard Lovely Singh, is as enterprising with his fights as Ready's Prem. 

The viewer is not enthralled but bhaijaan has done the best that his comic strip straitjacket could allow him. It helps that Kareena Kapoor doesn't break into giggles when he plays the tentative lover.
