SRK will help boost Bengal tourism

The appointment of superstar Shahrukh Khan as West Bengal’s brand ambassador will boost tourism but infrastructure would be needed to meet the rush of tourists.
“Appointing Shah Rukh Khan will help boost tourism in the same way Gujarat has benefited by appointing Amitabh Bachchan as their brand ambassador,” said Nikhil Ganju, country manager, TripAdvisor India.
“But in Bengal, this boost in tourism needs to be backed up by proper infrastructure to tackle the rush of tourists,” he said.
Last month, Shah Rukh accepted a government offer to become the state’s brand ambassador

Vidya Balan: Lavani love

Now this one really takes the cake, or in this case, the laddoo! Vidya Balan is on a high, and everything she does is turning to gold. Case in point, the lavani number she recently shot for the much-anticipated Ferrari Ki Sawaari.
The girl was so happy with the outcome that she ordered not just a kilo or two, but a whole truckload of laddoos for the entire crew to gorge on after the shoot!
Of course she's on a strict diet and trying to lose all the weight she put on for her National Award-winning outing in The Dirty Picture, so she didn't have much, but I won't be surprised if the crew members are all bringing out their weighing scales worriedly. Hah!

I mean, I have worked with him before, but what Sriram has captured in Agent Vinod, I think that was what was missing in Tashan and Kurbaan, which now our fans would get to see.”

Kareena Kapoor's Biography

Kareena Kapoor was born to Sindhi-speaking Babita (nee Shivdasani) and Punjabi-speaking Randhir Kapoor on September 21, 1977 in Bombay, India. She has an elder sister, Karisma Kapoor. Kareena is born in a family that have been actors for generations, including her paternal great-grandfather, Prithviraj Kapoor; her grandfather, Raj Kapoor; her paternal uncles, Shammi, Shashi, Rishi, and Rajiv; as well as aunt, Neetu Singh, & Jennifer Kendall, the wives of Rishi and Shashi respectively. On her maternal side, her grandfather, Hari Shivdasani, and aunt, Sadhana, have been actors in their own rights.

As a child, Kareena Kapoor studied in Jamnabai Narsee School in Juhu, Bombay, and thereafter was enrolled in Dehra Dun's prestigious Welham Girls' Boarding School. Her dad, Randhir is very protective towards his daughters and wanted both of them to keep away from acting, get married, and settle down, as per the Kapoor family tradition. This led to irreconcilable differences between her parents, ultimately leading to a divorce, with both sisters leaving their dad to live with their mom.

Kareena Kapoor film debut was in the year 2000 with 'Refugee' along with the debut of Amitabh Bachchan's son, AbhishekBachchan. She went on to appear in many more Hindi movies, and has thus far won four awards for her performances in 'Refugee', 'Chameli', 'Dev', and 'Omkara'. Kareena is today one of the most sought-after actresses in Bollywood.

Yash Raj Films next movie not titled ‘London Ishq’

Yash Raj Films (YRF) officials says that their next production, directed by head honcho Yash Chopra, is not titled “London Ishq”, as has been reported in certain sections of the media.

“Despite repeated confirmations that Yash Chopra’s film still remains untitled, large sections of the media continue to call it ‘London Ishq’. This is completely baseless, inaccurate and detrimental to the film,” said an official statement from YRF.

The yet-to-be titled film, starring Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, started shooting for its first schedule in the third week of February in London. It has been creating a huge buzz all over since the first look was unveiled.

The film also brings together the Oscar award-winning pair of A.R.Rahman and Gulzar, who along with Chopra, are working on creating some wonderful and meaningful music.

Scheduled for a Diwali release, the film is expected to add the same fervour to the festive time that Chopra’s films are known for

Agent Vinod news

After playing a simple Dalit man in “Aarakshan”, actor Saif Ali Khan returns as a spy in the thriller “Agent Vinod”, which is releasing Friday.

The film, made at a budget of approximately Rs.60 crore, has been shot in Russia and Switzerland, while in India it has been shot in Ladakh, Mumbai, Jaisalmer and Delhi. It took almost two years for Saif to complete the film.

Produced under Saif’s banner Illuminati Films, it also stars Kareena Kapoor, Gulshan Grover, Prem Chopra, Ram Kapoor and Ravi Kishan.

The story begins with a series of seemingly unconnected events, all over the world. In Uzbekistan, an ex-KGB officer is murdered. In Cape Town, a group of international business tycoons are seen discussing that the dead officer had a nuclear suitcase bomb hidden away.

In Moscow, an Indian secret agent is exposed and is shot dead while he was trying to send a coded message to India.

In India, the head of RAW sees the incomplete message, which has only number 242. To solve the mystery, Agent Vinod (Saif) springs into action. He has a relatively different way of solving cases, which often puts him into dangerous circumstances, but he still manages to get crucial leads.

He is sent to Moscow to investigate why his colleague was killed, where he comes to know that a Russian money launderer called Abu Nazar (Ram) has sent $58 million to a contact in Morocco, for an operation against India. He immediately jets off to Morocco, where he bumps into Mafidsi Kazan (Prem Chopra) and Dr Ruby (Kareena). Kazan is part Greek, part Moroccan, and part Indian. He is a ruthless man running the drug trade in the Mediterranean.

A series of twists and turns take Vinod across the globe from Marrakech in Morocco to Riga in Latvia, Karachi, Delhi and finally London, where he discovers the ultimate conspiracy.

Directed by Sriram Raghavan, Saif will be seen performing some daredevilry stunts in “Agent Vinod”. A film with a similar title hit the screens in 1977, with actor Mahendra Sandhu playing the lead role.

The makers insist that the new “Agent Vinod” has no resemblance to the old one but a dialogue in the film is indeed dedicated to the yesteryear actor, where someone asks “Agent Vinod” about his name and he says “Mahendra Sandhu”.

A lot of comparisons are being made between Hollywood’s “James Bond” movies and “Agent Vinod” but the makers are adamant that the character bears no resemblance to the British superspy.

Even before the release, “Agent Vinod” found itself embroiled in controversy after an Iranian music band Barobax slapped a legal notice against the makers and music composer Pritam Chakraborty for song “Pyaar Ki Pungi” over copyright violation.

The film caught attention for its sleek trailors, Kareena’s mujra song “Dil mufta ka” and, of course, its item number “Pyaar ki pungi” picturised on Saif.
