Shahid Kapur`s eye for detail perfects new ad
His films may not be doing well at the box office, but actor Shahid Kapur has a knack for making things perfect when it comes to endorsements.
While shooting an ad for music equipment brand Pioneer, Shahid felt something was missing in the background score, due to which he could not deliver his best. So he suggested some changes that helped in improving the advertisement.
"Shahid has an eye for detail just like his father. He took an active part in everything and that was quite impressive, " said Kiran Deohans, the director of the ad.
"The music was ready and when Shahid was listening to it, he felt something was missing in the music as there was no hook at the start.
He wanted it to be added then he could practise the steps accordingly and go ahead and finish the shoot comfortably. Besides being a great actor and a superb dancer, he is a very friendly person too, " added Deohans.

Mugdha bumps off Katrina
Mugdha bumps off Katrina Mugdha Godse, for whom ‘Fashion’ turned out to be a breakthrough film, is finding a lot of doors opening for her.
She’s already paired opposite Neil Nitin Mukesh in her mentor Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Jail' and is now set to do a full-on entertainer which would be Ajay Devgan's home production.
And very interestingly she’s replaced last year’s hot property Katrina Kaif in director Rohit Shetty's next.
Rohit Shetty has reportedly confirmed the news, "Yes, we wanted Katrina Kaif in the project. She would have been a definite value-add. It's a pity though that she can't be doing my film because the dates of my film clash with some other assignments of hers.
So Kat’s loss has become Mugdha’s gain. Interestingly Shetty’s ‘Golmaal Returns’ which had set the cash registers ringing has clashed with Mugdha’s debut ‘Fashion’ last Diwali.
The dusky chick is obviously elated and has no problems with the replacement theory.
She’s said, "I love singing and dancing around trees and have no contempt for hardcore commercial Hindi films. I'm happy to be playing one of the female leads in the film. Moreover, my part requires me to look glamorous as well. I don't worry about replacing people. Cliched as it may sound, replacements do happen in the industry. I don't know whether I'm replacing anybody or not. But I'm glad about playing an interesting character."
She says she has a lot to look forward to.
She’s added, "I'm happy to be paired opposite Fardeen Khan and I love that man's style. Moreover, I'm being directed by Rohit who has never put a foot wrong. He is a guy who thinks commercial cinema and knows how to get his audience engaged in theatres. I'm sure I will have a blast working in this film."
The lass sure feels this is her dream run. Let’s see how it shapes up for her from hereon.

Big B and SRK team up again
Of late King Khan and Big B didn’t seem to be on the best of terms.
They have made a lot of news together and most of it has been for the wrong reasons.
In spite of the fact that King Khan had patched up with the Bachchans by being at the premiere of ‘Drona’, there still seemed to be tensions between the two.
Big B seemed to be getting back at all his detractors including SRK through his blog.
And when Big B slammed Danny Boyle’s Oscar winning ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, SRK went around slamming those who slammed the film.
But it seems now that things are changing.
In fact it’s Big B again (he first got SRK invited to the ‘Drona’ premiere) who seems to be building the bridge. He visited Shah Rukh at his residence Mannat recently after his operation.
Now the latest buzz is that the two superstars are set to act together again after a while in Farah Khan's next venture ‘Happy New Year’. Farah had announced her project last year but didn’t go ahead with it for some reason.
A source has said, “SRK who is recovering from his shoulder operation at his home currently has been having readings and discussions about the same with Farah everyday.
Since SRK and Big B have given several hits in the past (‘Mohabbatein’, ‘KANK’ and ‘K3G’) and are both looking for a hit right now, they are likely to team up once again for Farah. that Big B has confirmed his dates with the director and SRK will confirm his dates soon.”
So fights are forgotten for material gains B-Town superstars sure have some very smart ideas.

Hrithik simply can’t stop raving about Bhansali After wrapping up the shooting of his forthcoming venture Kites, Hrithik Roshan will begin shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s yet untitled next with Aishwarya Rai in coming 2009 summer.
Hrithik we have learnt is super excited to do this not just because he will complete his hat-trick of working with Aish but because he has been genuinely floored by the script of the film and is eagerly looking forward to shooting for the film.
Hrithik simply can’t stop raving about Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the script that he written for his film and of course his role in it.
This will be Hrithik’s first venture with the Black director. Hrithik has seen Bhansali’s earlier works and is keen to work with him. Bhansali is also looking forward to work with Hrithik as well. It is going to be a hat-trick for Bhansali as well as this will be his third venture with Aishwarya Rai after Devdas.
Bhansali was in Goa recently finalizing locales for the film. The film will be Bhansali’s directorial venture after Saawariya. Meanwhile Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next prodcutional venture Chenab Gandhi is all set to go on floors in Mumbai very soon. Bhansali’s assistant Vibhu Puri will direct the film starring Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan and Hurman S. Baweja.
Bhansali and his Black writer Bhavani Iyer have written the film. The plot revolves around three characters. It is learnt that Chenab Gandhi is inspired by the story of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, India's freedom fighter who was known as the Frontier Gandhi. Bachchan will be playing the principle character in the film.

'Flop' Hurman Baweja kicked out...
Things are not looking good for the Baweja boy.
After the great debacle of the big budget ‘Love Story 2050’ and then ‘Victory’, he’s got a kick from the proudcers of the super ambitious ‘Chenab Gandhi’.
Now Sanjay Leela Bhansali's super ambitious project has a new lead actor and it’s none another than B-Town hot body John Abraham.
Hurman was signed for the film last year and reportedly the current economic crisis is responsible for this new development.
The producers wanted a saleable star and Harman isn’t in any way one at the moment.
So reportedly after a meeting, Bhansali, Saregama's Madhu Mantena, along with the distributors took a decision to have Johnny boy in the lead role instead.
The Saregama India co-produced film with Bhansali made on a whopping budget of Rs 35 crores also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Vidya Balan.
If all goes well, this will be the actor's fourth film with Bachchan after ‘Viruddh’, ‘Aetbaar’ and ‘Babul’ and the second with the lady he was linked up with, Vidya Balan, during ‘Salaam-e-Ishq’.
By the way, the movie’s not directed by Bhansali himself but by debutant Vibhu Puri.
A source has said, "Right now, the producers and director haven't informed Hurman as yet. He's in Delhi and so, no-one will confirm this right now. They are waiting for him to come back. Then, they will break the news to him."
While Bhansali said that the news is not true and Mantana laughed off the development by saying that Hurman will start Chenab Gandhi in May and it would be unfair to drop him now when his films are not doing well and John is actually doing another film with them called ‘1-800-LOVE’, the source confirms the new development.
Harman of course has gone into a shell and wasn’t available for comment. Lots to feel bad for the Hrithik clone.
All the filmi and multi-crore help from daddy Harry Baweja isn't helping him in any way. Time for a new back up plan, boy.
