Imran Khan and Sonakshi Sinha have teamed up for the first time in "Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara" and their chemistry has appealed to the film's producer Ekta Kapoor so much that she has apparently decided to repeat them in her next movie.

Ekta is of the opinion that Imran-Sonakshi make a lovely pair, but nothing concrete has come to play yet.

When asked, Imran said: "I am also hearing the same. I don't know of any project as of now. But Ekta has been excited about our on-screen pairing and chemistry."

"Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara" is coming out Aug 15 and Ekta may take a call after seeing the response to the underworld-based romance at the box office.

Indo-Canadian adult star Sunny Leone, who is enjoying her stint in the Hindi film industry, says she leads a normal life with her husband Daniel Weber and their relationship is like any other normal married couple.

Sunny, moved to India to participate in the reality show "Bigg Boss 5" and while still being in the house, she was offered a film by Mahesh Bhatt. After coming out of the house, she bagged "Jism 2", which was directed and produced by Mahesh Bhatt's daughter Pooja. Now she is doing "Jackpot", which also features her husband.

Sunny told IANS: "We have a very normal conservative husband-wife relationship. We have an exciting life. We travel a lot, go for shooting and photo shoots... just everything we think of, we do. We are just two normal husband and wife family."

"When you are husband and wife, you are obviously dependent on each other, but we both are independent individuals. I want to be with him, help him out," she added.

She is not a party person and loves to cook.

"I don't like to party... When I am at home, I cook a lot. My husband loves to cook. Whatever he cooks, I eat. He likes to cook different things. Even I cook different things for my husband," said Sunny.

Although "Jism" was an erotic thriller, Sunny is open to other kind of roles too.

"I don't have any pre-conception. When you start saying 'no' and that 'I only want to do these kinds of roles', you suffer as an actor. Movies are fiction, not real and who cares whether the person (the character) is bold, drug dealer or whatever. We like watching movies because we like watching characters," she said.

After "Jism", Sunny almost gets "two to three scripts" everyday.

"I get script almost every single day. I am not kidding... probably I get two to three scripts every single day. I am happy reading, so if anything catches my attention, I will take a step further.

"All the characters offered to me vary from sexy to bold and some are serious as well."

She admits that "Bigg Boss" was a turning point in her career.

She said: "I think the best thing ever happened was "Bigg Boss". When I came here as Sunny Leone, people drew their own conclusions. 'Bigg Boss' got me on TV and when people saw my everyday life, when they got to know I am not jumping on tables and doing crazy things, they accepted me... and I am grateful to the show."

The actress, who is sharing screen space with veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah in "Jackpot", was nervous working with the veteran.

She said: "I was nervous to work with him. He is one of the finest actors, but he made me feel comfortable. He is a wonderful co-star to work with."

"Boom"-fame director Kaizad Gustad is wielding the megaphone for "Jackpot".

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who recently got blessed with a baby boy AbRam through surrogacy, says this Eid is special because of the little one.

Although SRK is releasing his much publicised film "Chennai Express" on Eid, Aug 9, his happiness is primarily because of his son.

"This Eid is very special as I have got a new son. That is the best production I have, everything else is secondary," Shah Rukh told IANS. He has two more children - son Aryan and daughter Suhana - with wife Gauri.

He was unable to keep roza completely this time, as he had to take painkillers every morning.

When asked about his plans for Eid, he said: "We will read the namaz and offer 'dua'. Whoever wants to read, they can come. I have told Gauri to make some biryani for everyone. Normally, I celebrate Eid and my birthday with everyone."

Talking about Rohit Shetty directed "Chennai Express"; the 47-year-old said he doesn't believe in holding a film after it is completed.

"When my film finishes, it comes out. The same thing is happening now. It is a holiday and I hope people enjoy it. We had thought of releasing it on October 11, but I had to get a surgery done, so I requested Deepika Padukone if she could give a month to the film. When we did that, we could release it on Eid," he said.

While making a film, SRK is not bogged down by any thought and added: “When I am doing a film, I don't think of anything else."

He hopes that everyone earns profit from "Chennai Express".

"I hope my film comes and whatever it is worth, it will do. I hope everyone recovers their money. I don't have any calculation. I don't even calculate how much my last film had done," he said.

Actress Prachi Desai, who played gangster Shoaib's love interest Mumtaz in "Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai", was surprised to know that Sonali Bendre will reprise her role in the forthcoming sequel "Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara!".

If the reports are to be believed, the sequel depicts a time leap where Shoaib, earlier played by Emraan Hashmi, has become a don and his sweetheart Mumtaz is now a middle-aged woman. In the sequel, Akshay Kumar will reprise Shoaib's character.

"It was a huge surprise for me when I came to know that Sonali Bendreji will reprise my role in "Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara!". I am a huge fan of hers," Prachi said here Tuesday.

"She is gorgeous. I feel there would not have been a better choice to play the part that I played in 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai'," she added.

Prachi expressed her views at an iftar party thrown by Ekta Kapoor, who is the producer of "Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara!".

Meanwhile, there were reports of a rift between Prachi and Ekta due to her ouster from the cast of "Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara!". Since then she has been keeping away from Ekta's events.

Reacting to it, the 24-year-old said: "We (Ekta and me) have always maintained that everything is great between us. I think this is more than any big proof for everybody that I am here. I am happy to be here (at the Ekta's iftar party)."

Prachi was launched as an actress by Ekta through her daily soap "Kasamh Se".

"Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara" also features Sonakhi Sinha and Imran Khan and hits the screens Friday.

While its known that actress Nargis Fakhri essays the character of Jaya, an international war journalist Madras Cafe, some sources reveal that it is fashioned on the lines of Shriratna award winning journalist Anita Pratap.

Anita Pratap's interest in international politics led her to the ethnic conflicts in Sri Lanka. In 1983, Pratap interviewed Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam's (LTTE) chief Velupillai Prabhakaran, the first ever interview Prabhakaran gave to the world in which he talked about his philosophies of establishing LTTE.

Says a source, "Nargis Fakhri is playing an international war journalist in Madras Cafe. However very few know that she's essaying a character similar to Anita Pratap in the political thriller - Though the makers are being tight lipped about the details, speculation is still doing the rounds given that the political subject is highly controversial in nature".

Presented by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and JA Entertainment and produced by Rising Sun Films and JA Entertainment , Madras Cafe, directed by Shoojit Sircar is scheduled to release 23rd August 2013.

After a whopping 16 years, director JP Dutta is back with the second installment of the Border franchise.

While there was a lot of speculation over the sequel of the 1997 blockbuster, putting all conjectures to rest, the makers announced Sunny Deol and Suneil Shetty as two of the film’s leads. Talking about the decision to make Border 2 , says director JP Dutta , “ I felt like making another war film and Border 2 tells a different story – I was going through the history of armed forces when I came across the Battle of Shakargarh Bulge, it was a story that needed to be told on celluloid”.

The director does confirm that he faced more difficulty with this project than he did with the original Border – “ Permissions were difficult to acquire – There were several technical issues communicated to be by government officials – It wasn’t so difficult and time consuming when I made Border”.

Border 2 will go on floors by the end of October.

Bhushan Kumar is known for launching new faces and this time its winner of Miss India International, 2011 Ankita Shorey.

Bhushan Kumar says, "We have always given a platform to new talent to showcase their work in the industry. Be it in music, actors or directors. Ankita Shorey is a very popular face after her winning the miss India international title. We have immense faith in her and love her dedication towards the work. A few days ago I have signed her for a three film deal. We will decide post her workshops which role suits her the best and then will finalize her for a film. "

Ankita is super excited and believes that this is a big launch pad for her. She is preparing hard and wants to dedicate her time for the projects she gets. All the three films will be of different genres.

Farhan Akhtar is elated with the response Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is receiving. The film is soaring at the box office and has managed to cross the 100 crore mark. The film continues to achieve critical acclaim and audience appreciation. It is perhaps this, and Farhan's extreme dedication towards movies that is making him comparable to the veteran superstar, Raj Kapoor.

Raj Kapoor has been known to step into varied space of filmmaking and yet excelling at them all. He carried the tag of an all rounder for his direction, production along with his acting.

Farhan has got critical acclaim for all his ventures. He adorns many feathers in his hat and he outshines at each one of his skills.

Hrithik Roshan at the trailer launch of Krrish 3 said that he no longer refers to Anil Kapoor as Anil Uncle: “I have dropped the uncle; because there’s no way he can look like an uncle,” Hrithik said. He also added that he was deeply influenced by Anil Kapoor's acting style.

Addressing Anil Kapoor, Hrithik said, “Thank you… for being such an incredible influence on me as an actor. When I started off, I remember every single person who was observing me told me, ‘You are so much like Anil Kapoor.’ "

He added referring to Anil, "I was his assistant for four years while my dad was working with him, so my entire model of acting is based on him.”

However, Kapoor laughs it off, saying, “Everyone has their own style. But when Hrithik said that, I was moved. I respect him, because hardworking people have always impressed me. When they were working together for Kaho Na Pyaar Hai (2000), Rakesh would tell me, ‘Yeh bilkul tere jaisa hai (He is like you).’ But I would deny that.”

Kapoor has worked with the veteran director in several films, including Kala Bazaar (1989), Kishen Kanhaiya (1990) and Khel (1991).

Actress-director-producer Pooja Bhatt is currently busy recording songs for her next project "Cabaret" and promises that the songs won't be short-lived.

"Yes, like always, even the music of 'Cabaret' will be unusual. The songs will have longer shelf life," Pooja, whose last film was "Jism 2", told IANS.

"We are known to work with new people, so there is a lot of freshness. One thing I can promise is that the songs of 'Cabaret' will be chart-busters," she added.

Kaustav Narayan Niyogi, who is making his directorial debut with "Cabaret", has also composed the songs for the film.

"This is his directorial debut as well as his debut as a composer. He has got an amazing sense of music. Today, we are recording the fifth song with Roopkumar Rathod. Once we finish our album, we will start shooting."

Randeep Hooda has been finalised for the male lead for the film, while the hunt is still on for the leading lady.

Versatile actress Meghna Malik, popularly known as 'Ammaji' of "Na Aana Is Des Laado", is happy to give the audiences a different taste of her talent with new show "Gustakh Dil" in which she plays a modern character.

The actress says her new character is in total contrast to the regressive character that Ammaji was.

"The audience will see me in a totally different avatar in this show ('Gustakh Dil') and I hope I get the same love and appreciation from them as earlier," the 41-year-old said in an interview.

Besides a few daily soaps, Meghna has worked in a couple of films too, but it was her portrayal of high-headed Ammaji in "Na Aana Is Des Laado", which brought her into limelight.

Talking about her character in "Gustakh Dil", Meghna said: "She hails from an urban middle class family... She is a sort of a perfectionist, but then there are also a lot of tumultuous moments in her life and she keeps trying to deal with that all time."

Produced by Ravi Ojha, "Gustakh Dil" portrays the life of Laajo, who is the other woman for her husband Nikhil. Despite being married to her, he continues to be in love with his childhood sweetheart Ishana.

The show went on air Aug 5 on Life OK. It also features actors like Sana Sheikh, Vibhav Roy and Parvati Sehgal.

Working with veteran actors is always a learning experience for newcomers, and it's no different for Indo-Canadian porn star and Bollywood actress Sunny Leone, who is sharing screen space with Naseeruddin Shah in "Jackpot".

"He (Naseeruddin Shah) is very calm and reserved, but he gives suggestions, which is very nice," Sunny said in an interview.

"He is a lot of fun to work with. He is not really conversant, but when he gets onto laughing, it's the best feeling," she added.

In "Jackpot", being helmed by "Boom"-fame director Kaizad Gustad, Sunny is paired with Sachiin Joshi and plays Naseeruddin's secretary in the film. Currently, the film's team is shooting in Goa.

The actress, who made her debut with 2012 film "Jism", holds Naseeruddin, 63, in high regard.

She feels honoured to be in the same frame with the actor, who has delivered notable performances in films like "Nishant", "Manthan", "Sparsh", "Aakrosh", "Masoom" and "A Wednesday" throughout his career.

Recalling her first shot with Naseeruddin, Sunny said: "I said to him, 'If you have any advice for me whether it is good or bad, I will take it.' Even if he tells me, 'You were horrible in the shot and you should try like this', I will not get offended."

"Jackpot" marks the Bollywood debut of Tamil actor Bharat.

Director Sanjay Tripathy-directed "Club 60" features veteran actors, including Farooque Sheikh, who says he and his co-stars are still young at heart.

The film also features Satish Shah, Tinnu Anand, Sharat Saxena, Sarika as well as Vineet Kumar and Raghuveer Yadav.

"We all are still young at heart. It's all about how you live your life. It's great to work with your friends and be back together," Farooque told reporters during a photo shoot of the film.

Satish Shah said: "It's always fun to be on the sets... we had a wonderful time working together."

The film's shooting has been completed and it is slated for a November release.

Television actor Manish Naggdev, who is going "Vicky Donar" way by agreeing to donate his sperm, says if people like Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan can go for surrogacy, then what is wrong in this!

He was approached by a 32-year-old man from Chennai through a social networking site and Manish said: "I thought about it and I felt that there is nothing wrong in it. It is just a kind gesture. That is it."

The actor feels that if people can accept "Vicky Donor", they would understand his decision too. He feels current generation is matured.

"They have accepted a film like 'Vicky Donor'. Everyone understands that this is normal. There will be a lot of people who would agree with me," he added.

Manish has been part of shows like "Madhubala", "Banoo Mein Teri Dulhann", "Santaan", and "Rehna Hai Teri Palkon Ki Chhaon Mein".

Of course, he had apprehensions and took one-and-a-half week to comply to the request.

"I had apprehensions. I took one-and-a-half week to think about it. If people like Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan can go for surrogacy, then what is wrong with this? If abortion is a crime, then giving life is a good deed," he said.

Sushmita Sen has lost oodles of weight, and she looks wonderful. The former Miss Universe and actress admits she is readying herself for a comeback to showbiz.

On the silver screen, Sushmita was last seen in the 2010 film "No Problem". During the three-year hiatus, she was busy taking care of her second adopted daughter, Alisah. She had first adopted Renee in 2000.

"I will definitely come back with a film," the 37-year-old said here on the sidelines of the India International Jewellery Week Tuesday.

Without giving out too much details, she added: "I will wait for the producers to officially announce it. I had to take a three-year break to spend time with my daughter Alisah. She is now three years old, so I am back to films, back to that life. Yes, Sushmita Sen is getting ready!"

In the past, the 37-year-old has been a part of movies like "Biwi No.1", "Kyo Kii... Main Jhuth Nahin Bolta", "Main Hoon Na" and "Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?".

Southern actress Trisha Krishnan, a long-time People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India supporter, has written to Chennai Mayor Saidai Duraisamy asking him to scrap plans to roundup 30,000 dogs and confine them to pounds.

"I respectfully urge you to scrap the plan to round up as many as 30,000 dogs from the streets and imprison them in 15 new pounds in Chennai. Warehousing dogs, even if they are sick or old, for the rest of their lives is extremely cruel," said Trisha in her letter to the mayor.

"Chennai has used dog pounds in the past, and this approach failed to control either the dog population or rabies. Removing dogs from the streets leaves their territories vacant, which results in an influx of other dogs from neighbouring areas," she added.

Trisha also requested for a humanitarian way of handling this issue.

"Locking up dogs like prisoners will never end Chennai's animal overpopulation problem. I respectfully urge you to solve the problem the smart and humane way by stopping it at its source. Please focus Chennai's efforts on an aggressive animal birth control and anti-rabies programme," wrote Trisha.

Known for southern films such as "Ghilli", "Krishna" and "Samar", Trisha is currently busy shooting for Tamil action-drama "Boologam" and Telugu comedy "RUM".
