Imran Khan: All set to take on challenging roles

Imran Khan the star of the just released Danish Aslam flick ‘Break Ke Baad’ has really done a great job as the absolute young guy totally smitten in love as the young guy called Abhay Gulati. The character in the film played by Imran has a very conservative take on the issue of love and relationship with his girlfriend. He believes in the conventional idea of love that if one is in a relationship then the idea should be to spend every moment with the loved one together. Imran Khan as the smitten in love guy is truly very convincing.

So, does that mean that this star of the young and happening generation will be tagged as a star of romantic genre of films? Well seems like it. Going by the films that he’s done so far, right from his debut film ‘Jane Tu Ya Jaane Na’, where he was the epitome of romance to I hate Love story’s to the just released ‘Break Ke Baad’.

However according to media reports, Imran Khan insists that he does not want to typecast in any particular category and wants his horizons as an actor to expand to newer boundaries so as to make himself more and more versatile in his acting abilities. He says that he is all set to take on challenging roles from now on in his path to project his prowess as a versatile actor. He has also tried showcase his talent in some other genres of films like Luck, Kidnap and the yet to release Delhi Belly.

However his forth coming flicks like ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’ and another one under the KJO banner will see him again in a romantic avatar. But then the idea of being in the top league of stars is basically to be seen in top banner films, isn’t it Imran?

Lucky Bidder Owns the Rights to Sylvester Stallone's Porn Film

Sylvester Stallone is widely known for his action films, but he actually started his career with a porn film. And the rights to the 1970 softcore erotic pic called "Italian Stallion" were recently sold for $412,100, Variety reported. The film, originally titled "The Party at Kitty and Stud's", was made by Bryanston Distributors and put up for auction on eBay by the company on November 10. The buyer gets the original 35mm negatives as well as worldwide rights to the film.

"The negatives were actually lost for a while," Edward Parry, president of Bryanston, says. Parry additionally reveals that MGM tried to buy the film in 2009 but the deal fell through. Parry thinks this as a prime time to sell the rights, saying "Who would've thought that at 64 he (Stallone) would be at the top of his game?"

"Italian Stallion" was released theatrically in 1976, and then re-released in 2007. Stallone was said taking a role in the movie because he was desperate for money. In a 1978 interview with Playboy, "The Expendables" actor opened up that he was paid $200 for two days of work and people behind "Italian Stallion" tried to sell the porn film to him for $100,000 after his hit film "Rocky" came out.

Jennifer Aniston is not going to steal Robert Pattinson from Kristen Stewart's side yet. After there was a report that she wanted to romance the "Twilight" actor in "The Graduate" remake, "The Switch" actress' representative has shot down the rumor, telling Gossip Cop that it is "absolutely false."

Previously, Daily Star reported Aniston eyed a collaboration with Pattinson and asked her agents to set up a meeting with him. "Jen's a huge fan of The Graduate. It's one of her favourite films and she would love to do a new version of it," an insider was quoted as saying. "Jen thinks she and Rob would be the perfect duo to recreate the highly sexual roles."

"The Graduate" is a 1967 film that starred young Dustin Hoffman as a college graduate who is seduced by an older woman, portrayed by Anne Bancroft. "This film would allow Jen to do something raunchy and sophisticated after all the romantic comedies she's done and would give Rob the chance to move on to more grown-up roles after 'Twilight'," the insider further claimed.

Aniston was additionally said "very excited at the prospect of teaming up with" Pattinson. On what catches Aniston's eyes from the British star, the insider said, "She loves his brooding good looks and just adores his English accent," before adding "She thinks there is no one more perfect to cast opposite her."

Bruce Lee's family is "very pleased" with a new biopic about the late martial arts star, according to director Raymond Yip. "Bruce Lee, My Brother" tells the life story of the movie legend, who died at the age of 32 in 1973.

It has been put together with the authorization of Lee's relatives, including his siblings Phoebe, Agnes and Robert, who all contributed their memories and personal stories to help filmmaker Yip tell the truth about Lee's early years. And Yip reveals the family is very happy with the final result.

He tells the Hollywood Reporter, "The Lee family supplied us with all the details and the tidbits (sic) of their family life. So we took great care to be loyal to the truth and avoid anything that felt fake, which made it rather difficult for us in terms of creating the structure of the script. But the Lee family was very pleased with the result, especially with how close it was to what actually happened."

The moviemaker also claims Robert was stunned by how much actor Aarif Rahman, who plays the lead role in the biopic, looks like his late brother. Yip adds, "(Everybody) including Lee's brother Robert... (was) quite amazed by how much Aarif resembles Bruce. No one can say for sure whether an actor really embodies Bruce's spirit except for his family. So it was a go from then on."

The film is released this month to mark what would have been Lee's 70th birthday on Sunday, November 28.

'Transformers 3' Gets Problem With 3-D Footage

The idea to add 3-D technology to the next "Transformers" film is teasing, but it gives an extra homework to Michael Bay. Rumor has it, the helmer is having problem with some scenes of "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" which are shot using 3-D camera.

" 'Avatar' set the standard very high for 3-D films and even though some of the best people in the 3-D business were brought aboard for TF3 but with Michael's quick, aggressive style of shooting without any real past experience has caused hiccups," an insider tells IESB. The helmer is reportedly trying to salvage the footage that was shot, but still the insider claims, "The 3-D looks like shit and we don't know if we will be able to use all of it the way it is."

Though so, there is reportedly no plan to reshoot the scenes. Instead, the footage that do not meet the standard that was expected are now in the hands of pros in the 3-D post production houses. This means the native 3-D footage will have to go through some of the same conversion techniques that are undergone by 2-D footage which are going to be converted into 3-D.

Still, there are allegedly positive things to be expected from "Transformers 3". Some sources have told IESB that the FX work is very good and that the plot is far better than "Transformers" and "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen".

"Transformers: Dark of the Moon" will have Shockwave as the major villain. Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson are some of the main cast returning to the third movie, while the newbies include Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Patrick Dempsey. The action sci-fi flick is due July 1, 2011 in the U.S.

Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi, who tied the knot with Priyanka Alva in the recent past, went through a bizarre incident. It all happened when he appeared for a brick-laying event on the request of a rights group in Delhi. He paid a visit to the slum locale in Delhi called ‘Bavana’. Well, the reason of his appearance was that he had to put the initial brick to mark the start of a new house which will be built to accommodate slum dwellers.

People who were used to live in the slums situated at the rear end of the river Yamuna were recently asked to shift to ‘Bavana’ so that the place could be rehabilitated and made cleaner and greener to live in. So a new house will be constructed in ‘Bavana’ for those slum dwellers who are  presently out of their original huts.

Vivek was so pleased to attend the occasion that he left his guards back home. He wanted to make the people feel that he is not a celebrity there but a common man.  But little did he know that situation will get out of control there. Over 2000 villagers gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor and they went crazy and wild on seeing their favorite actor in such near proximity. So to control the situation, Vivek had to stay locked inside a room for almost 2 hours. Police took charge of the situation sometime later.

The Great Khali: Bigg Boss 4 Gets Its Strongest Captain This Week!

‘Bigg Boss 4’ has got its strongest and biggest ever captain in the form of ‘The Great Khali’ this week. Seema Parihar’s reign as the captain of the Bigg Boss house ends with the completion of the ‘Sheher-Gaon’ task as she was called by Bigg Boss in the confession room.

Bigg Boss informed Seema about the end of her rule and she was asked to suggest two names for next captain. The former ‘bandit queen’ took the name of Bhojpuri actor Manoj Tiwari and Khali as she thinks that Manoj had been a good captain earlier and Khali has the quality to prove himself as a captain.

Finally, the voting for the probable captains takes place and it was a open nomination where most of the housemates preferred Khali because all of them wanted to give him a chance to prove his leadership qualities. Seema looked very happy when she was relieved from captaincy. She congratulated Khali for his new job and said that now she will see how he manages to keep people awake during the day time as he used to sleep himself when she was the captain.

Above all, will he be able to control his own sleep during day time? Keep watching Bigg Boss to get the answers or watch this space for more!

Film on 26/11 Mumbai attacks

 

Bollywood director Mahesh Bhatt began filming ‘Kuch Log’, based on the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

The movie revolves around an individual belonging to the Muslim community.

Actor Anupam Kher said that he was proud to be a part of the movie.

“Out of every terror attack, a story comes out which depicts the life of an individual whose photographs are not printed in any newspaper. Their faces are always in the dark. The movie is based on such people whose lives are affected due to the terror attacks,” said Kher.

He further added that the Government should take strict measures to keep a check on such kind of activities happening in India.

Bhatt said ‘Kuch Log’ intends to change the mindset of those Indians who are prejudiced against Muslims, and consider them militants.

” ‘Kuch Log’ shows the dreams and fears of the minority groups of India because it has become our mindset that the people belonging to this section have links with terrorists,” said Bhatt.

On November 26, 2008 ten militants landed on the Mumbai shores through boats and fired indiscriminately at a busy railway station, Chabad House, a prominent restaurant frequented by foreign tourists and two luxury hotels. By Shaikh Sharik (ANI)

Meanwhile "Inception" 's producer Emma Thomas, filmmaker Nolan's wife, has praised DiCaprio for making the movie more accessible for fans, adding, "The work (Leo) did on his character with Chris made the movie less of a puzzle and more of a story of a character audiences could relate to."

'Tangled' Is Impressive on Early Thanksgiving, but 'Deathly Hallows' Still Wins

As anticipated before, a lot of people storm theaters across the nation during Thanksgiving holiday. And on November 24, "Tangled" kicked off the festive weekend with an impressive opening. The family animation, which retells classic tale "Rapunzel", scored $11.8 million which is more than expected, The Hollywood Reporter says.

However, the pleasing achievement by Disney's movie could not overshadow the magic of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I". The first part of the seventh movie installment from "Harry Potter" franchise, which was debuted last week, is still the most attractive for moviegoers as it tops box office on Wednesday with an additional $14.5 million tally, bringing its six-day cume to $159 million.

While "Tangled" is predicted to exceed pre-release polling at the end of this weekend, another newcomer "Burlesque" did not open well. The musical that boasts performances from Christina Aguilera and Cher only took in $2.8 million on its first day though polling expects it to earn up to $25-27 million revenue this weekend.

"Megamind" takes the fourth place with an additional $2.8 million tally, followed by another debut "Love and Other Drugs" which pairs up Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal and takes in an estimated $2.2 million. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's "Faster", which was also released on November 24, lands on the sixth place with $1.5 million tally.

First Official 'Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn' Image Is a Tease

Bill Condon is giving a reason for "Twilight" fans to be thankful on Thanksgiving after he shared a picture from "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part I". The helmer posted the first official photo on the movie's official Twitter page, writing "Happy Thanksgiving and a crazy Black Friday to all of you and yours."

The all-white image features an outstretched hand grasping some feathers on top of a sheet. While not giving a look at the face of any character, the shot is possibly taken from Bella and Edward's honeymoon scene where she lies on her bed.

Jena Malone broke down in tears on her first day of filming forthcoming action movie "Sucker Punch" after completing a series of excruciating stunts. The actress plays one of a group of weapon-wielding female inmates who band together to break out of an asylum and take down their captors.

"In a lot of ways it felt like being in an asylum. You come in and you're given vitamins, you have very specific breaks, your whole day is scheduled. And then you're just getting the s**t kicked out of you. I remember the first day I was just crying, my whole body was red."

Paris Hilton Refused to Allow Veterinarians to Kill Kinkajou That Might Have Rabies

Socialite Paris Hilton refused to allow veterinarians to put down her pet Kinkajou after it went "crazy" and attacked her leg, despite fearing the raccoon-like animal had rabies. The star was forced to seek medical treatment after the exotic animal, named Baby Luv, sunk its teeth into her flesh in 2006, but she objected to medics' suggestions to kill the animal even though it posed a risk of spreading disease.

She tells U.S. talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, "I still have it. I have two of them at my ranch. It got a little crazy one night. Like ending up in the hospital crazy. It bit me! It bit my leg, and I thought it had rabies. So I said, 'We have to figure out if it has rabies, how do we do that?' "

"And they said, 'We have to cut its head open.' I was like, 'Well is it going to live?' And they said, 'No!' So I was like, 'Then we're not doing that! I don't care if it has rabies or not!' " But Hilton insists she made the right choice - because the Kinkajou was not infected and neither was she, "It didn't have rabies, obviously, I'm here today."

Kanye West Threw Rant at Taylor Swift During Album Release Party

Although he has repeatedly apologized for what he did at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye West is still not done yet with Taylor Swift. The rapper attacked the country music singer once again when taking the stage of Bowery Ballroom on November 23 to celebrate the release of his new album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy".

Starting his tantrum at the release party by saying that "everybody needs a villain," Kanye continued, "When you do things like what happened last year, it's disrespectful to everyone that's creative. It's a smack in the face to everyone who tries to do something real. If I wasn't drunk I would have been on stage longer! Am I the only one that's not crazy here? Are you f**king kidding me?"

When talking about his issue with George Bush, Kanye linked it to his feud with Swift. "Taylor never came to my defense in any interview, and rode the waves and rode it and rode it, that's the way I rode the waves of the Bush comment. I rode it. It's not about popular opinion. It's about when you look in your heart, and know what's right and what's wrong," he stated.

He might realize some people put on questioning looks during his rant as he said, "I'm not here to talk in no motherf**king interviews, nobody asking me no stupid a** questions." The MC went on to addressing the latest interview in which he lost his cool, "Matt Lauer's not a bad guy, I'm sure. But if you are a child that is being abused by your parent or you're a girl being abused by your boyfriend, the greatest win that you can ever have is for that person to hit you in public. 'You see? You see? I told you!' "

In between those outspoken speeches, Kanye did not forget the main goal of his appearance at the party. He hyped up his new album, saying in a confident tone "I always felt like I could do anything, but now I feel so fearless - after the year I had ... to come back and do 100,000 on the first day, digital alone... to do 600,000 in the first week... and I don't talk about the numbers. But what that number says is that people want me to keep making music."

Funny or Die: Daniel Radcliffe Believes He's Really Boy Wizard

Daniel Radcliffe has spoofed "Harry Potter" in a new online video by declaring he really is the boy wizard. The British star has been playing J.K. Rowling's title character for the last decade, and he mocked his long involvement in the movie franchise by recording an internet video for Will Ferrell's "Funny or Die" website.

In the clip, Radcliffe admits the lines between fiction and reality have become blurred and he now really thinks he is the magical Potter. He says, "It was probably around the time of the fourth film that I kind of started to realize that I was Harry. I thought I was an actor playing a wizard, but really I was a wizard playing an actor... Dan is a fantastic character... and I really enjoyed playing him."

Radcliffe also jokes about using his 'real' identity as Potter to seduce girls, adding, "I talk to women and tell them that I'm Harry and see where that gets me."

Emma Stone Not in '21 Jump Street', to Start Filming 'Spider-Man' in Two Weeks

Emma Stone is not going to step in "21 Jump Street" territory. The young star was recently reported to be offered a female lead role in the movie adaptation of the famous TV series, but she says she might not take part in it.

"I don't think I'm going to be part of that, but Jonah [Hill] is one of my favorite people in the entire world," she tells MTV Movies Blog during a chat for the site's Thankful Week. Stone was expected to reunite with her "Superbad" co-star Jonah Hill in the upcoming action comedy.

Meanwhile, Stone is gearing up to begin working on one of the biggest superhero franchises, "Spider-Man". The "Easy A" babe, who will portray Gwen Stacy in the untitled Spider-Man reboot, reveals the movie is going to kick off production in two weeks and she has started rehearsing.

The 22-year-old actress goes on sharing that she has tried her new locks. "Today I went and did hair tests, because I have blonde hair now since Gwen has blonde hair. My natural hair is blonde, so it's kind of nice," she dishes on the preparation.

"We're finalizing the visual stuff. And I think we'll start actually rehearsing, because we start shooting in two weeks," she further adds. "Andrew [Garfield] and I went and learned about science yesterday. Gwen really likes science, so we learned about science. I was home-schooled, so I never went to chemistry class in a traditional setting like Gwen is into. That was really beneficial."

In the new "Spider-Man" film, Stone will star opposite Andrew Garfield who takes the lead role of Peter Parker aka Spider-Man. Rhys Ifans is cast as an unnamed villain while Martin Sheen will portray Uncle Ben. Marc Webb has signed up to direct the flick, which is already plotted for summer release on July 3, 2012 in the U.S.
