Actor Aamir Khan's successful film "PK" has reportedly turned out to be the widest international release for an Indian film and it has had a successful run in China. Rajkumar Hirani, the film's director, says he never imagined the film would be received so well.

Hirani told IANS: "I had never imagined that 'PK' would be received so lovingly in China. A rating of 8.8, a 4,600-screen release and business as huge as of North America. It furthers my belief that content is king."

"PK" is also said to have turned out to be the highest grossing Indian film in Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan and also the highest grossing foreign language movie in North America for 2014.

On Tuesday, trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared: "#PK creates HISTORY in China. 11-day total (till 1 June, Monday): 83.94 cr. Yes, you read it right. From China alone. Will cross 100 cr."

The film, produced by Vinod Chopra Films and Rajkumar Hirani Films in association UTV Motion Pictures released worldwide on December 19, 2014. In China, the movie released on May 22 this year.

Actress Sonakshi Sinha, who turned 28 on Tuesday, was wished "beautiful years ahead" by her friends from Bollywood.

Sonakshi is said to be excited about the day as it’s her first birthday after her elder brother Kussh Sinha' wedding and she plans to celebrate it with her sister-in-law.

Sonakshi, who entered Bollywood in the year 2010 with "Dabangg" opposite Salman Khan, has since starred in many films like "Lootera" and "Rowdy Rathore".

Currently shooting for the upcoming A.R. Murugadoss film “Akira”, she is also judging the latest season of “Indian Idol Junior”.

Here's what her B-Town friends tweeted:

Shahid Kapoor: Happy birthday @sonakshisinha may you radiate more with every passing year.

Vishal Dadlani: Happy Birthday, @sonakshisinha !! Deeply unfair how you've timed it so we don't get to celebrate/embarrass-you on the #IndianIdolJr set! ;)

Raj Nayak: Happy Birthday Sonakshi @sonakshisinha... Have a beautiful day & a great year - much warmth.

Manish Malhotra: Happy birthday my dearest beautiful @sonakshisinha and one of the nicest girls that I know.

Tanuj Garg: Happy Birthday @sonakshisinha! May the cake be large & the gifts be plenty!!

Choreographer-filmmaker Remo D'Souza, who worked with professional dancers in "ABCD: AnyBody Can Dance" and has roped in stars like Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor in "ABCD 2", says there's a difference between non-actors and actors.

Remo told IANS: "People loved 'ABCD'. It was a hit, but not a huge hit on box office... but with these actors (Varun and Shraddha), because they are stars, I can see that the buzz is nice. So, there is difference between non-actors and actors."

He refrained from sharing the film's budget, but he said "producers will make money out of this film".

"ABCD 2" is a sequel to "ABCD", and it will release on June 19.

Talking about the chemistry between Varun and Shraddha, he said: "Their chemistry is outstanding in the film as they are childhood friends. They both understand each other so well and you will see that on the screen. I am glad I roped in Varun and Shraddha for this film."

Remember the 1990s dance anthems like "We like to party" or "Boom boom boom"? After crossing borders with their peppy music and creating a buzz in the party scene across the globe, Vengaboys, the Dutch pop band behind these musical gems, is "curious" to learn about Indian music and hopes to work with an Indian artist, saying the "beauty of India keeps calling us back".

"We're not very aware of the Indian music scene, but are very curious to learn more of it. It would be pretty exciting to collaborate with an Indian artist and make some good music," Vengaboys member Robin Pors told IANS in an e-mail interview on behalf of the band.

The Eurodance group members showed off their musical pitch at an electrifying evening at The Courtyard, Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla in Mumbai last month. They performed here after over a decade as they had last visited India in 2001.

Pors says it's the "crowd" and "beauty of India" which make them come back.

"The people have always been so warm-hearted, kind and welcoming, which has left a big impression on us. When we toured here last time, fans went crazy and turned up in hounds. It absolutely delights us to see so many people enjoy our music. Also, the beauty of India keeps calling us back," he said.

Vengaboys, formed in 1996, ushered in a new trend into the music world with flamboyant costumes, energetic beats and party numbers infused with animated videos. And now Indian rustic beats have captivated their attention.

Bollywood uses musical notes to express myriad feelings - be it the romance, separation or happiness. Pors notes that if Bollywood comes calling for them, the band would be more than happy to feature on the Indian silver screen.

"We would love to feature in a Bollywood movie," said Pors, and added that they blended Indian beats and tunes into one of their singles.

"We don't release all the music that we make. Yes, we have made a song that's influenced by Indian music, but we never released it," he added.

Bollywood stands for many things - its larger than life feel, the glitterati, melodious music and exuberant dance moves - all entwined into one for a perfect entertainment dose.

For Pors, it is the "music , dance and crazy fans" that spells out Bollywood's charisma.

The band's music is termed as the livewire at any party, and Vengaboys takes pride in that.

"We would love to be known as a party act rather than 1990's pop act," Pors said.

The Vengaboys jukebox hit a roadblock when the group parted ways in the early 2000s, but the lull was soon overlapped with a bang as the band reunited in 2007. Apart from Pors, the band consists of Donny Latupeirissa, Denise Post-Van Rijswijk and Kim Sasabone.

They came with "The Platinum Album" in early 2010. The "Rocket to Uranus" single marked their reunion. Another album "Xmas Party Album" came in 2014.

A lot has changed since 1990 in the music industry. Accepting the fast forward mode in the music world, Pors says, they have infused the change in their music to catch up with the trend.

"Music today has evolved to a great extent since then. The beats have become complex. We have tried to incorporate as much of it in our latest album while remaining true to ourselves. We love the pop scene as it is today. A lot of great artists have joined the pop pool," he said.

Actress Sandeepa Dhar says she is inspired by the acting and dancing talent of Tiger Shroff.

The actress has learnt the fighting technique MMA from Tiger while shooting for "Heropanti".

"My introduction to MMA happened when I was shooting for Heropanti with Tiger Shroff. I used to see him performing these daredevil stunts through the course of the film and I learnt about his training routine,” Sandeepa said in a statement.

Now that learning has come in handy for Sandeepa, who plays a police officer in “7 Hours To Go”. For this, she is training in MMA and parkour.

"For '7 Hours to Go', I needed to look like someone who has gone through some action training physically. I felt it was important for me to learn a martial art form so that my body language is like a police official. So, I started learning MMA from a trainer who used to train Sushant Singh Rajput,” Sandeepa said.

After watching "Tanu Weds Manu Returns", actress Radhika Apte, who is currently busy shooting for her Indo-British film “Bombairiya”, is all praise for director Aanand L. Rai and scriptwriter Himanshu Sharma.

She felt the performances of all actors in the film were phenomenal, Radhika feels it cannot be ignored that a major share of the victory goes to the writer-director team.

“Kangana was fabulous. Actually, the entire cast delivered phenomenal performances. But you have to give it to Aanand L. Rai and Himanshu Sharma for their powerful vision. The film would not have been so huge without that,” said Radhika.

She even met the director after watching the film and shared her feedback with him.

Actress Lisa Ray, who essays a secret agent in the upcoming romantic film "Ishq Forever", sports a chic look in the movie, courtesy designer Rocky S.

Commenting on her look for the film, Lisa said in a statement: "I love Rocky's signature edgy glam style and it's perfect for this role. Rocky also gave me a dress from his new collection which is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. He's very choosy about styling for films as his fashion line is doing so well, so I'm thrilled he styled me for 'Ishq Forever'."

Produced by Ajay Shah, Harry Gandhi and Shabbir Boxwala, "Ishq Forever", directed by Sameer Sippy, has been majorly shot in Cape Town.

Lisa, 43, will be seen doing some serious action in the movie too. It will release in November.

Elated with Mohit Suri's decision to include hit single “Zaroori tha” in his Vidya Balan and Emraan Hashmi starrer “Hamari Adhuri Kahani”, popular Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan says the song will reach out to a much wider audience.

“I’m overjoyed with the response my latest album 'Back 2 Love' has received. And now to hear that the song 'Zaroori tha' has been featured in Mohit Suri's latest film 'Hamari Adhuri Kahani' is truly the icing on the cake," the 41-year-old singer said in a statement.

"The song will now get a new life as a Bollywood song and will reach out to a much wider audience," he added.

The song, which is picturised on Vidya and Emraan, captures the central theme of the film.

Suri, the film's director, said: "I firmly believe that a song finds a film and shapes its destiny. In my experience with music in most of my films, I have always found one of my key songs last. 'Zaroori tha' is one such song, and to me it feels like this song was always written for 'Hamari Adhuri Kahani'."

Veteran film producer Mukesh Bhatt, under whose banner Vishesh Films the movie is being released, says he has "very rarely found a song that expresses the story between two people so strongly".

"This heartbreaking song from Rahat has given great power to our love saga. Only a singer like him could capture the soul of this situation," Bhatt said.

The Universal Music artist, whose album "Back 2 Love" was released in June 2014, enjoys massive popularity in India with successful Bollywood numbers like "Tere mast mast do nain", "O re piya" and "Jag soona soona lage".

Veteran writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar has organised a special screening of his daughter Zoya Akhtar's forthcoming film "Dil Dhadakne Do" for Finance Minister Arun Jaitley here on Tuesday evening.

"Javed sahab has kept a special screening of 'Dil Dhadakne Do' for Arun Jaitley," Ritesh Sidhwani, who co-owns the film's production banner Excel Entertainment with Javed's son Farhan, said in a statement.

The film, which stars Farhan, Anil Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma and Shefali Shah, is about a dysfunctional Punjabi family and how they discover love and friendship during a cruise across the Mediterranean.

The actors are on an extensive multi-city tour in places like Kolkata, Indore, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Delhi, Ahmedabad and Bangalore to promote the highly anticipated film.

The film will hit theatres on Friday.

Film maestro Satyajit Ray's widow Bijoya Ray, a lifelong inspiration for the master, died at a private nursing home here on Tuesday following an acute pneumonia attack, a nursing home spokesman said.

Bijoya Ray, 98, left behind her filmmaker son Sandip, daughter-in-law Lalita and grandson Souradeep.

"She was admitted to our nursing home on Saturday noon following an acute pneumonia attack. She was under the treatment of physician Swapan Pal. She passed away at 6.06 p.m.," Belle Vue Clinic chief executive officer P. Tondon told IANS.

She had been put on ventilator support as her conditioned worsened after admission.

Bijoya Ray was born Bijoya Das to Charu Chandra Das, a barrister and Madhuri Devi, younger sister of nationalist leader 'Deshbandhu' C.R. Das's wife Basanti Devi.

A gifted Rabindra Sangeet singer, who also acted in some films, Bijoya married her first cousin Satyajit in 1949 after years of courtship.

Till the legendary filmmaker's death on April 23, 1992, Bijoya was a big influence on and inspiration for Satyajit Ray.

She even pawned all her jewellery as Satyajit Ray ran out of money during the shooting of "Pather Panchali", a landmark film that broke Indian stereotypes to create a new idiom of film viewing in India and placed the country in the global cinema map.

She was always the first person that Satyajit Ray read out his film scripts to, and often carried out modifications based on her suggestions.

Among the films she acted in was "Sesh Raksha" (1944), where she also did a playback.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, accompanied by her ministers Firhad Hakim and Arup Biswas, rushed to the nursing home to pay her tributes.

"Deeply saddened at the demise of Bijoya Roy," Banerjee tweeted.

Actress Shruti Haasan, who started the year with a bang with Akshay Kumar-starrer "Gabbar Is Back", decided to celebrate her success by presenting herself with a brand new red Range Rover.

"Shruti has had the fascination for the Range Rover for about a year now, so when the time came, she decided to make this her second big buy after she purchased her home in Mumbai a couple of years ago," a source close to her told IANS.

The actress is having a dream run with "Welcome Back" and "Rocky Handsome" lined up in Bollywood. She is also gearing up for Tamil projects with Ajith, Vijay and Suriya.

In Telugu, she has "Srimanthudu" with superstar Mahesh Babu.

There will be the glitz, glamour and the business of Bollywood at the forthcoming edition of the three-day International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Weekend and Awards from June 5. It promises to be "larger than life" with a focus on commercial opportunities between host country Malaysia and India.

After travelling to London, Dubai, Macau, Toronto and Singapore, the IIFA extravaganza, which celebrates Indian cinema annually abroad, is heading to Malaysia for the second time for its 16th edition. Established in 2000, the gala was held at Genting Highlands Resort, Malaysia, in 2002 and, if one goes by the buzz, this edition will attract a whole lot of Bollywood fans.

"This edition is coming of age. It will be larger than life. There is also growing support of film industries from international countries for the IIFA movement and that's important," Sabbas Joseph, director, Wizcraft International Entertainment, the organisers of IIFA, told IANS.

"We will be promoting Malaysia in a big way. There will be exciting opportunities for tourism... Trade and business opportunities between Malaysia and India are definitely focus for us. Later in the year, the ASEAN Summit will take place (in Malaysia) too; so it is a great building ground for that," he added.

With delegates expected from various countries like China, Sri Lanka and Thailand, a "white paper will be launched on day one at the business forum where we will talk about the power of film tourism".

IIFA has seen Hollywood stars like Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Kevin Spacey and John Travolta gracing the gala in its various editions. But any foreign talent this year has been kept under wraps till the last minute.

Among those from Bollywood who will light up the stage at the Stadium Putra here on the awards night on June 7 are Hrithik Roshan, Anushka Sharma, Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar, Parineeti Chopra, Shraddha Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Shahid Kapoor.

"It will be larger than life," Joseph stressed.

Hosted by actors Ayushmann Khurrana and Parineeti Chopra, IIFA Rocks, an exclusive music extravaganza, will see a host of musical performances by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Mika, Ankit Tiwari, Kanika Kapoor, Javed Ali and the Nooran sisters.

Sonakshi, who will be soon seen as a judge on singing reality show "Indian Idol Junior", will also display her singing skills at IIFA Rocks on June 5.

"There will be some exciting first-ever too at the IIFA Weekend and Awards. Sonakshi is going to take the stage as a singer at IIFA Rocks," he said.

He is also excited about the hosts this year -- the crackling duo of actors Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor, who were in trouble for the controversial AIB Roast video earlier this year.

"You can imagine the madness, magic and mischief," Joseph said.

Another highlight will be the screening of "Dil Dhadakne Do".

"The complete star cast will be in attendance. They will interact with fans and people from the film industry," said Joseph, about the Zoya Akhtar directorial, starring Anil Kapoor, Ranveer, Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar and Anushka Sharma.

There will also be a dose of fashion at the Fashion Extravaganza on June 6.

Hosted by actors Vivek Oberoi and Neha Dhupia, it will see quirky designs by Masaba Gupta, who will present a line inspired by the IIFA trophy.

"We've got Fashion Extravaganza featuring Rocky S, Masaba and Gaurang Shah. There will be different kinds of collections from each of them. Masaba is doing a special collection for IIFA. It is inspired by the trophy... the gold and black. It has the sun graphics also because the IIFA trophy is inspired by the sun," said Joseph.

Writer-filmmaker Subhash Ghai, known for making movies like "Karz", "Hero", "Karma", "Saudagar", "Khalnayak", "Pardes" and "Taal", will be conferred the lifetime achievement award.

With about 800 Indian delegates, consisting of business officials, people from the film industry, dancers and models, flying to Kuala Lumpur for IIFA, Joseph promises that it will offer "different dances, style and more".

Designer Gaurang Shah's latest collection Umrao, an insight into traditional Indian exotic fabrics, will open the fashion weekend here on Saturday at Indian International Film Academy (IIFA) awards.

"Fashion Revivalist Gaurang Shah will make his debut at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards in Kuala Lumpur- after being chosen to showcase 26 looks from his latest collection 'Umrao' at IIFA weekend fashion extravaganza , an event dedicated to fashion," read a statement.

"I'm very proud of Indian textiles and our ancient craft of hand weave. Opportunities like IIFA will help expand the art that few years ago were almost fading away. It's also a tremendous presentation opportunity. I don't know what to expect but it's going to be very stimulating," Gaurang said.

Gaurang has designed for actresses Kirron Kher, Vidya Balan, Kajal Aggarwal and Amala Paul.

Director Ananth Mahadevan, who is all set for his upcoming film "Gour Hari Dastaan - Freedom File", a film based on Gour Hari Das' memoirs, says the involvement of the Odia freedom fighter was necessary for the film for be a perfect biopic.

"(Gour Hari) Das' involvement was required as the biopic has to be perfect, and with too many cinematic twists and folds. Das always mentioned, that his struggle for country's freedom was much easier than the rigorous struggle with the country's government.

"Das never wanted to make a happily ending fabricated story, which is always an adulterated biopic," Mahadevan said in a statement.

The film features Vinay Pathak, Konkona Sen Sharma, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Ranvir Shorey, Asrani, Rajit Kapur, Vipin Sharma, Saurabh Shukla, Vikram Gokhale, Mohan Kapur, Bharat Dabholkar and Siddharth Jadhav among others.

Apart from the star cast, the film also features the real life Das who was a part of the shooting from start to finish.

Also, since there was no option to shoot in parts, all 23 actors of the film including Konkona, Vinay and several other acclaimed theatre and regional cinema actors all cleared up their schedules to shoot at one go for the movie.

Produced by Bindiya and Sachin Khanolkar, the biopic encompasses the past in a stinging modern day satire on free India through the eyes of Das.

The film is scheduled to release on August 14, the eve of Independence Day.

Cinestar Amitabh Bachchan, who has been roped into field publicity for DD Kisan, says he has in the past tried to save some farmers' homes, but he asserts that collective efforts need to be made to battle the grave issue of farmer suicides in the country.

A record 1,306 farmers committed suicide in Maharashtra during the one year of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in office - between May 20, 2014, to May 25, 2015, according to a farmers' watchdog body.

"It is a most sad occurrence to hear of farmer suicides. I have personally tried to do my bit in trying to save several homes by paying off their debts -- around 40 families in Andhra and around 50 in Vidarbha. But individual effort is not enough," the 72-year-old told IANS.

"I do read and believe the government of India is seized of the situation and are doing their best to fight this unfortunate happening," he added.

There has been news that the thespian will feature in audio-visuals and radio jingles to promote the newly launched government-backed channel for farmers.

Talking about it, he said: "DD Kisan is a new TV channel for farmer-based programs by Doordarshan. I have worked in the campaign launching of the channel."

The idea for the actor's involvement for the channel is said to have come from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with whom Amitabh closely worked on the Gujarat tourism campaign.

But he said, "The Honourable Prime Minister has not approached me personally" to endorse DD Kisan.

Big B himself got the farmer tag in 2010 when he bought the land in Muzzaffarnagar village of Kakori, 23 km from Lucknow for Rs.3.03 crore ($482,000).

The Uttar Pradesh Seed Corporation then registered the iconic film actor as a farmer-member and provided him with a hybrid seed programme for his land, which got a yield of 200 quintals of wheat thanks to advanced tractors, threshers and other equipment.

Filmmaker Karan Johar's Dharma Productions has sealed a “creative partnership” with Fox Star Studios by inking a deal to produce nine films over a period of three years.

Under the partnership, Dharma and Fox Star Studios will co-produce and distribute films worldwide.

With the deal, Fox Star Studios, which is a vertical of entertainment conglomerate Star India, has formed a unique creative and business partnership, read a statement.

This venture is the natural step in our progression to create entertaining and eclectic content for a global audience and to grow the business through game-changing innovation in content, marketing and distribution," Shankar said in a statement.

Karan, who has made mass entertainers like “My Name Is Khan” and “Student of the Year”, also notes that the partnership blends cinematic art and commercial aspect of filmmaking in an apt way.

“Movies for me have always been a blend of artistic and commercial resources. Dharma Productions has always endeavoured to attain the highest form of celluloid excellence and entertain simultaneously. I am glad we have found a partner in Star India and Fox Star Studios for a visionary nine films alliance,” said Karan.

Apoorva Mehta, CEO of Dharma Productions, said: “It is by far the biggest collaboration that the Indian film industry has ever seen. With this strategic deal, Dharma has entered into a new phase of movie business which will provide a disruptive growth model for all the parties involved”.

While most B-Town celebrities will be at the IIFA celebrations in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia starting Friday, actress Sunny Leone will be missing all the action at the three-day extravaganza.

She will be busy completing the shoot of "MTV Splitsvilla" when the International India Film Academy Weekend and Awards take place.

The "Ek Paheli Leela" actress, who is determined to finish off the shoot for the show, took to micro-blogging website Twitter to express her feelings.

"Sad to miss @IIFA!!! Must finish the last 2 days of @MTVSplitsvilla before airing," Sunny tweeted on Thursday.

With each film comes an innovative way to promote it and this time the makers of “Guddu Rangeela” have come up with a 'live party' concept.

Lead pair Arshad Warsi and Amit Sadh, who are members of an orchestra party in the film, will bring forward the film's music by performing with real life orchestra parties across India, during their promotional tours.

In the film, the actors play colourful and mischievous orchestra party people, who commit small time crimes. They sing quirky songs like "Mata ka email" in the trailer.

By carrying out this promotional activity, the makers feel, they will be able to communicate two things - their characters and the texture of this comedy film. As per schedule, this activity will take place in six cities, read a statement.

“The film will hit the screen on July 3 and the promotional tour will start two weeks prior to the release date. The tour will primarily focus on north India,” a source told IANS.

The director asserts that the amalgamation of 'desi' music of the film with live orchestra will add to the film's appeal.

"Guddu Rangeela run a desi orchestra group that sings some quirky songs. It's going to be very exciting to take the music of the film to the audiences with live orchestra Guddu Rangeela style," Subhash Kapoor said in a statement.

Actress Vidya Balan will be making a special appearance on TV show "Yeh Hai Mohabbatein" to promote her forthcoming film "Hamari Adhuri Kahani".

According to a source close to the show, the actress will be seen helping the lead actress of the TV show Divyanka Tripathi, who plays the role of south Indian woman Ishita who gets married to a Punjabi man Raman Bhalla, unearth a secret.

As per the storyline, evil intentions of Ishita's former fiance Subbu will be revealed.

"Vidya will help Ishita get files from the psychiatrist on Subbu’s case. Raman and Ishita will come to know that Subbu wants to use Simmi to take revenge on Bhalla family as he blames the Bhallas for the death of his wife and child," the source said.

The episode of the Star Plus show with the Bollywood actress will be beamed next week.

Meanwhile, “The Dirty Picture” actress is prepping for the release of "Hamari Adhuri Kahani", directed by Mohit Suri. In the movie, she plays a florist who works at a hotel owned by Emraan Hashmi's character.

The film will delve on a love triangle formed when one's past love confronts with future and the impact on the present. It also stars Rajkummar Rao and will hit theatres on June 12.

Actress Richa Chadha, who is busy promoting "Masaan" in France again, says she is grateful to actress-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt for giving her a three-day break from "Cabaret".

Pooja was generous enough to let Richa go out and promote "Masaan", which was last month given a five-minute standing ovation at the 68th Cannes International Film Festival -- even if it is at the cost of delaying the shoot of "Cabaret"

"Because of the magnificent reception at Cannes, we had to do a lot of interviews for the media here (in France)," Richa said.

Informing that the rest of the cast and crew will be joining her later in France, the actress said: "I am very happy for my director Neeraj Ghaywan and the whole cast and crew of 'Masaan', who I am representing for now. They will make a visit later to France."

"Masaan" won the Promising Future Prize at the Cannes film gala, which concluded on May 24.

It was also honoured with the International Federation of Film Critics (Fipresci) Award at the festival, where it was selected in the UnCertain Regard section at the Cannes fest.

A joint production between Manish Mundra (Drishyam Films), Macassar Productions, Sikhya Entertainment and Phantom Films, "Masaan" revolves around a group of people from Varanasi.

It is scheduled to release on July 24.
