Now Deepika after Anushka & Sonakshi

After Sonakshi Sinha, dimpled beauty Deepika Padukone has expressed her desire to work with the `Band Baaja Baarat` sensation. And the lanky young man can do little but blush.

Ranveer Singh might be just one film old, but he has certainly grabbed eyeballs of pretty women in Bollywood. The average looking young actor seems to be the most desirable co-star and hotties in B-town can’t stop going ga-ga over him.



Dips while talking to reporters was all praise for Ranveer Singh said, "From the new lot I really like Ranveer. I watched `Band Baaja Baarat` and there is something about him that I really liked. He has tremendous screen presence and a certain amount of energy and confidence that I really like."



We wonder how Ranveer’s alleged on and off “just good friend” (girlfriend) Anushka Sharma will take this piece of news. First it was Sonakshi Sinha who stole Ranveer from her at the eleventh IIFA event in Toronto in July and now it’s Deepika’s turn!

Sonakshi was the original choice to play with Shahid

Apparently, Sonakshi Sinha was the original choice to play Shahid’s love interest in the film. But the filmmakers felt that she wouldn’t make a good pair with Sasha, so they changed their minds and opted for the slim framed Kapoor girl.

Sonam Kapoor, who won a role in Shahid Kapoor’s home production, `Mausam`, might be thanking her stars but newbie Sonakshi Sinha has no fond memories related to the film.

Reportedly, junior Shotgun was to give a screen test for the film which never took place. And Sona did not appreciate such a move from the filmmakers` end.

However, Shahid is now keen to work with the `Dabangg` hottie and has been sending this message across through his friends. But the daughter of Shotgun that she is, she wouldn’t dampen her self respect any longer.

So we might not see the Shahid-Sonakshi jodi sizzle on the silver screen unless the two young actors decide to reconcile.

Sonakshi Sinha out of Kamal Hassan’s Vishwaroopam

Actress Sonakshi Sinha has been dropped from Kamal Haasan`s ‘Vishwaroopam’ because she was incapable to lose enough weight for the role in the film. But Sonakshi has claimed she walked out of the project because it took too long to start.

According to the director the film requires to do lot of action scenes and therefore the actress playing the role needs to be lean and have an athletic physique.

Sonakshi has a tendency to put on weight if she doesn’t stick to her diet and exercise regime diligently.

A source close to the project revealed to a daily what went wrong. "The makers gave her a couple of months to get lean. She had to do outfit trials and also begin physical training. However, she was unable to look the part even after that."

The filmmakers wanted to start shooting by June-end. But the buzz in Tollywood is that she lost out on the role due to her weight trouble.

Kamal Haasan is considering some other faces for the film. "It`s a big budget film and he doesn`t want any more delays. The reason he chose Sonakshi is because he really liked her work in ‘Dabangg’ and thought she would appeal to the audience down south as well.

Sonakshi in Between Salman & Kat

Salman did not propose Katrina’s name for lead in his ‘Dabanggg.’ That role went to Sonakshi Sinha, the daughter of Shatrughan Sinha.

The two were seen in close company on the sets of film- and not just acting as per the script.
"Salman is a wonderful painter. Whenever he found himself free he started painting and I used to go and join him,” Sonakshi told a daily. It didn’t end there.

“Salman used to give me a theme and I used to paint accordingly, and when we see the final output, we used to find both the painting same. I never copied him but I think our style of painting is the same,” said the debutant actress.

However, what happened with Katrina is just a temporary act is not for sure. The lady was set to play the lead in the under-production film The Italian Job, being directed by Abbas-Mustan.

But all of a sudden, producer Aditya Chopra changed his mind and it might go in favour of Sonakshi Sinha, the daughter of Shatrughan Sinha.

But the change of minds and attitudes does not seem one sided. A source on the sets of Zoya Akhtar’s Zindaggi Milegi Na Dubara that stars Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif as the leap pair has revealed reports of sizzling chemistry between the two.

The two have been getting along rather too well, reports suggest.

Salman is well connect with Police

Salman Khan, who is once again playing police as his grandfather was a police officer and, of course, due to his own run-ins with the law. His brother Arbaaz Khan`s debut production ‘Dabangg’.

Salman, 44, has played a policeman in several films like ‘Wanted’, ‘Garv’ and ‘Auzaar’.

He started out in 1988 with the film ‘Biwi Ho To Aisi’. Salman gets philosophical when he says a star`s image is something created by others and if an actor himself starts believing in that image, then he is done for.

"I think because my grandfather was deputy inspector general (DIG) of police, Indore, I have this special thing for the cops. I have also shared a very long relationship...!" Salman told reporters with a laugh.

The actor spent time in jail in 2002 after his car allegedly ran over four people sleeping on a footpath. He once again went behind bars in 2007 in Jodhpur on charges of hunting an endangered deer.

"I lost a lot of weight and then it looked weird. You are playing a cop who is totally ribbed. I really wanted to look ribbed in the film," said Salman.

Salman had grown his hair for ‘Veer’, a look he really liked, and now he sports a moustache for the new flick, which also stars Shatrughan Sinha`s daughter Sonakshi. He admits he was a bit apprehensive about going for an image makeover this time.

"I had just finished `Veer` and I had to cut my hair very short... I didn`t want to. The long hair was looking good. It took so long to grow them; so I didn`t want anyone to cut them off."
