All not well between Maksim and 'Jhalak...' makers?

Maksim Chmerkovskiy, the Ukrainian Latin Ballroom dance champion, choreographer, and instructor who has just joined as a judge on dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, is apparently finding it difficult to cope with the show’s format.

Says a source, “Maksim has joined Remo D’Souza, Madhuri Dixit and Karan Johar as a judge but he has come on the show a little late because he had visa issues and thus couldn’t get to India in time. But now that he’s here, the star dancer is finding it very difficult to understand Hindi and this is creating a big problem for him.”

The source explains that Maksim, who is now in the news for apparently being Jennifer Lopez’s latest love interest, was told that the judges would give feedback and announce their verdict in English. “But since a lot of Hindi is spoken on the show, he is not able to follow all that’s happening. He is also upset about being mocked; he realises that jokes are being made at his expense,” says the source...

Hrithik Roshan's fast & furious move

Hrithik Roshan has given his consent to collaborate with Hollywood director Rob Cohen in his next which will be set in India.

His May 2010 release Kites was supposed to be his stepping stone to Hollywood and now Hrithik Roshan seems set to finally make a splash in the West. On June 4, Hrithik Roshan refuelled the crossover rumours when he and his parents (Rakesh and Pinky Roshan) were spotted dining with Hollywood filmmaker Rob Cohen in Mumbai.

Mirror has it that Cohen visited Mumbai to cast Hrithik in his next venture and the actor has said `Yes'.

The filmmaker, who has helmed hits like The Fast and the Furious and XXX, had a long chat with Hrithik about the film, an action flick which will be shot in India.

The film will also star a parallel male lead which will be played by a Hollywood actor and Cohen will make another visit to the country, when he is ready with the final script.

A source close to the development told Mirror, "Cohen had made a few earlier trips to Mumbai and met Hrithik. This one finalised the deal."

This will be Hrithik's first Hollywood flick but the 40-year old star is already quite popular in Hollywood.

For one, Twilight star Kristen Stewart had reportedly confessed that if ever she had a baby boy, she would want him to look like Hrithik Roshan but with then boyfriend Robert Pattinson's eyes...

‘Miss Lovely’ to release in US theatres

Ashim Ahluwalia’s National award-winning film ‘Miss Lovely’ is set to release in the US theatres on June 6. Starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Anil George and Niharika Singh in the lead roles, the film made its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2012 Cannes film festival.

‘Miss Lovely’ goes back to the Mumbai of the 1980s when C-grade cinema, with its mix of horror and porn, was booming. The story is told through two brothers Sonu (Siddiqui) and Vicky (Anil George), who are prolific producers of such films but their partnership is put to the test when the brothers meet Pinky, who is running away from a shady past.

Ashim who will be in the US to promote the film says, “Miss Lovely is quite a wild film.” “It challenges the definition of what an Indian film can be, so I’m really happy that US audiences will get a chance to watch it in cinemas. I’m thrilled to be working with Film Buff and Dada Films to find novel ways of getting new global cinema out there. It’s great to have partners that understand the power of what cinema can do, and are ready to stick by that.”

DADA Films will initially release the movie in the seven American cities- Seattle, New York, San Jose, California, Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin, which will be followed with an expansion. While FilmBuff is planning to release the film on the digital platforms of the US like iTunes, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and Google Play...

Why Rajinikanth fans will have a long wait for Kochadaiiyaan

Superstar Rajinikanth’s eagerly awaited Kochadaiiyaan, which was to release today (9 May), has been postponed to 23 May. It has created tremors in Indian cinema as the film was to release in six languages including Tamil, Telugu and Hindi in 2D and 3D at over 3500 screens worldwide. 

Rajinikanth is the biggest brand in south Indian cinema and a star with a huge opening and charisma. Remember, his last film Robot (Endhiran in Tamil) in Hindi was a huge hit across the world. Rajinikanth has terrific influence over Tamil Nadu politics, though he is not affiliated to any political party. 

He is so influential among the youth and family audiences, that Narendra Modi, the PM-in-waiting, paid a courtesy visit to his Poes Garden residence in Chennai, during his election campaign in Tamil Nadu. Kochadaiiyaan’s ‘no show’ today has now cast a pall of gloom over his hardcore fans. 

Said ‘Rajini’ Ravi, a die-hard fan of the actor who runs one of his fan clubs : “ We were planning to celebrate Kochadaiiyaan release in a big way with 100-feet cut-outs, ‘paal abhishekam’ (milk bath of the cut-out!), latest LED banners and a fireworks display. But our plans have gone awry. We are very disappointed and this has never happened to a Thalaivar (chief) film.”..

I love Rohit Shetty films, have seen all his films at least three times: Partho Gupte

Child actor Partho may have won glorious awards for his debut 'Stanley Ka Dabba', but he plans to take a break from films after his next release 'Hawaa Hawaai' in order to concentrate on his studies.

In 'Hawaa Hawaai', which is based on inline speed skating, the National-award-winning actor, 13, plays a determined rural boy, who never loses focus from his goal. Directed by his father Amole Gupte, the sports film will hit cinemas on May 9.

"For now I won't be acting in films as I want to study. I want to finish 9th and finish my school first. Then I want to study direction at New York University. I want to make films (when I grow up). I don't want to sound preachy but I want to make films that convey a message to people,"

Shilpa Shetty: I Would Rather Spend Time With My Son Than in Spa

Shilpa Shetty's IOSIS spa and wellness chain is branching out to tier-II and tier-III cities. The actress-turned-entrepreneur says the maximum potential for growth lies there as women have the means but feel "guilty" about stepping out of home only to "pamper" themselves. It's a feeling even she relates to as a mother.

Shilpa and her businessman husband, Raj, have a son named Viaan, who will turn two later this month.

In a freewheeling chat on her recent visit to the capital, Shilpa told IANS: "Despite owning a chain of spas, I call the lady home to get whatever beauty treatment I need!"

"Mumbai's traffic is awful, and rather than spending two hours in reaching a salon, I'd rather spend one hour getting a treatment, and the remaining hour with my son at home...

Distancing myself from the cinema in the 90s was a mistake: Amitabh Bachchan

Even after his prolific four decades in the Bollywood, megastar Amitabh Bachchan says he still gets cold feet before the release of his films.

"We are always anxious about every product that we do. It is like an examination for us, a test and we are anxious to know whether the work we have done is appreciated by the audiences or not," Bachchan, who is here to attend the third Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM), told PTI.

The 71-year-old actor, who had taken a sabbatical from work in the 1990s, feels that distancing himself from cinema was a mistake.

"I thought on those lines few years ago back in 90s which was a mistake. I shouldn't have done that. Now I want to continue," he said.

Fresh from his last release, 'Bhootnath Returns', a sequel to 2008 horror-comedy of the same name, Bachchan is gearing up for a busy year as he has three films on his plate, along with TV shows...
