Salman-Katrina's Rocking Camaraderie In Bollywood Hungama Interview

"I want to continue doing action films for the next ten years," said Salman Khan in a joint interview with Katrina Kaif a short while back. I spontaniously said 'Inshallah Inshallah' as I as a viewer, like millions of others, would love to see Salman performing those dare devil stunts. Salman was in a very good and cheerful mood. He changed t shirt in front of us, so all those rumours stating that he has not been working out because of his illness are false. Salman is in great shape.

Katrina and Salman shared easy camaraderie. Salman spoke about the hard work that Katrina has put in over the years. He liked shooting in Cuba a lot because it reminds him of Bandra of 25 years ago. Katrina said that somehow Salman finds various places of Mumbai wherever he goes. As he spoke about Sooraj Barjatya, it became evident that he has an extremely fond bond with the Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun director.

A fan had asked Kabir Khan on twitter if there's any item song in Ek Tha Tiger to which Kabir said that Ek Tha Tiger is an Item film. What is the reaction of Salman and Katrina on this? About the expectations of a huge opening Salman said everything gets decided once the movie releases and how the fans spread the word. He rubbished the tall claims made by the Trade pundits. Salman also spoke about the censor issue in Pakistan. Earlier in the day Kabir Khan told me that the Censor Board of Pakistan will be watching the film either today or tomorrow. Kabir also said there are multiplexes in Pakistan that want to start off with Ek Tha Tiger (as in the new multiplexes waiting to get opened).

I have also taken a few fan questions and wouldn't want to divulge a few exclusive bytes. I guess you guys should watch the interview to find out the exclusive stuff. Its a 24 minutes interview, so I guess we will break it into two to three parts. I think the fans will really like this interview.

Musically Yours With Sunidhi Chauhan

"I would sing I Want Fakht You in my stage shows," said Sunidhi Chauhan while speaking to me on the show Musically Yours a short while back. Sunidhi feels that a needless controversy has been created and Fakht is a Marathi word which means 'you'.

I also spoke to Sunidhi about her fantastic journey since Mast. She spoke about the high pitched numbers like Beedi Jalaiyle, Sheela Ki Jawani, Aisa Jadoo Dala. Re and then the effort that went into softer numbers like Aa Bhi Ja (Sur), Bhaage Re Mann (Chameli) to Kaisi Paheli Zindagani (Parineeta), Ishq Sufiyana (The Dirty Picture). She spoke about her inspirations as well. Currently she is listening to Rihana. Sunidhi also belted out a few of her chartbusters.

Is Boman Irani Part Of Farah Khan's Happy New Year?

Amidst the raging controversy (all in jest) doing the rounds, Farah Khan and Boman Irani cleared the air once and for all about the reported 'Kiss' in Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi. Did they rehearse for the kiss as claimed by Boman? Also, Hindi cinema has seen love aiding props in Balloons, Ribbons, flowers etc but for the very first time, Bra-n-Panties are being utilised as props. And if the promos are to be taken into account, the prop is looking endearingly cute.

Somehow I've missed out on interviewing Boman Irani since a very long time. I spoke to him almost a couple of years back. I've always wanted to personally congratulate him for a splendid performance in Shyam Benegal's 'Well Done Abba'. After the interview Boman admitted, that somehow the performance has gone somewhat unnoticed. And it is sad.

So, can there be a sequel to Shirin Farhad? What is Farah's condition for the same? What does Farah think of Boman as an actor and as a person? Is Boman part of 'Happy New Year'? Also, what's the raaz of their 'chemistry'? Or is it biology?

Coming soon.

"RGV, Put Me In Your Next Movie": Sunny Leone

"To Ram Gopal Varma, put me in your next movie," wrote Sunny Leone in the autograph book. Mr Varma had requested for Sunny's autograph. In fact he told me that he has not taken an autograph of Mr Bachchan and this is is for the very first time that he is asking for any celebrity's autograph. He also told me that he is the president of Sunny Leone's fan club (in jest of course). I told him that he should join me in the interview, he replied, "Noooooo I will blush".

I met up with Sunny Leone, Dino Morea and music composer Arko at Growell's Mall in Kandivli, Bombay a short while back. They interacted with the audience. In my interview, Sunny signed the autograph for Mr Varma with a rider of 'sign me for your next'. She is excited about the love that she is getting from all across. On the protests in Assam, she said that "some people may not like me as well." About the NCP MLA objecting to the posters of Jism 2, she said, "but then we went ahead the next day and put them right up". Is she doing Murder 3?

Dino Morea said that he was disappointed with the response from the critics but he is happy with the response from the ticket buying public. He also clarified that the distributors will be happy with the final outcome. He stated that it has been a dream debut for him as a producer. Music comper Arko sang Abhi Abhi.

"Chennai Express Will Start As Per Original Plan": Shahrukh Khan

Shahrukh Khan was one of the guests at the party for Tim Sebastian (of Hard Talk fame) in Bombay last night. Sebastian is working on a current affairs based television show that is expected to start in October this year. The show is said to be on the lines of Aamir Khan's 'Satyamev Jayate'. When Shahrukh was asked a question on Satyamev Jayate, he chose not to answer the question.

Shahrukh clarified on the news report stating that he has preponed the first schedule of Rohit Shetty's 'Chennai Express' as he wishes to watch a few matches of the Champions League where KKR will be participating. He says that the shooting of Chennai Express will start as per its original schedule. SRK is the producer of the film as well. On being asked about Yash Chopra's film starring Katrina Kaif, he said that ten days of shooting is left and the film will be complete.
