Vishal Bhardwaj’s next with Imran and Anushka

Vishal Bhardwaj (Omkara, Kaminey, Saat Khoon Maaf) is all set to make his next film Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola. Apparently, the director had been toying with the idea to make this film for the last eight years and now finally it is going to the floor. Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola is pitched as a romantic comedy and is written, produced and directed by him.

Omkara star Ajay Devgan was originally set to do the film but he backed out so there was speculation that Kaminey’s Shahid Kapoor would step in.

Avantika goes gaga over Imran Khan

This petite woman at the India Mens Week’s last day shows looked alluring, pretty, but not everyone quite recognised her. That impeccable dress, those accessories, and the perfect make-up, down to the nail polish on the toes, indicated she was a celeb, but who? Whispers done with, someone said she’s Imran Khan’s wife. “Unke saath aayi hain. Avantika hain.”

But that was till Imran returned after walking the ramp. She was already backstage, waiting. “You looked so good. Continue reading

Old Bollywood cinema will always be special me: Imran Khan

One may think that after the success of Delhi Belly, actor Imran Khan may have the liberty of taking it easy, but the actor is relentlessly trying hard to prove himself with each of his films.
