>After Chulbul Pandey Salman is back as Lovely Singh

>

Salman Khan’s character in Bodyguard is called Lovely Singh.

Apparently, they wanted it to be Chulbul Pandey, but the star did not want his trademark Dabangg name in it.

Lovely Singh is also the name of a B-Town director who made Kya Love Story Hai.

>John Abraham wont ever cross swords with Salman

>

John Abraham prefers to keep action sequences real, raw in new cop drama, Force

John Abraham won’t cross swords — or guns — with Salman Khan. Not now, not ever.

Abraham, who is acting in producer Vipul Shah’s Hindi remake of the 2003 action Tamil blockbuster Kaakha Kaakha, which starred Suriya as an encounter cop, will not play the sort of cop who can beat 50 opponents with one kick like Salman Khan did in Dabangg.

Called Force, the film will be directed by Nishikant Kamat.

Both Shah and Kamat have decided to steer clear of the Dabangg-Wanted style of action. What we will see will be a realistic, gritty action film associated with true-life cop dramas like Govind Nihalani’s Ardh Satya and Steven Soderbergh’s Traffic.

“John doesn’t want to do a Salman in Force. Both, producer Vipul Shah and director Nishikant Kamat felt that the Telugu-Tamil kind of Rajnikanth-Mahesh Babu action, which has lately been re-introduced in Hindi cinema through Salman, is done to death. That is also the kind of action we saw in Kaakha Kaakha.

The Force team felt decided to go the other way and keep the action sequences as real as they get, such as cops intercepting criminals on roads as they speed away after a crime. It’s deglamourised action, ” says a source.

Story, Screenplay, Direction: Sudhir Mishra

Yeh Saali Zindagi Its a quirky love story in the guise of a thriller. Its an obtuse take on how far they both the heroes go to get the women they love and how sometimes one screw-up can set everything right!

Arun (Irrfan Khan) has to save Priti (Chitrangda Singh) the woman he loves, but for that he first has to save the man Priti loves- Shyam, the future son in law of a powerful Minister.

Meanwhile, time is running out for Kuldeep (Arunoday Singh), the young gangster who is on his last job as his wife is threatening to walk out on him completely, and he begins to suspect she is leaving him to go into the arms of another man.

The job has gone haywire for it is still unknown to Kuldeep that the Ministers daughters engagement with Shyam is off and now she doesn’t care whether Shyam lives or dies and more importantly neither does the Minister who Kuldeep hoped would pay the ransom!

Priti finds herself inextractably caught in this mess and Arun has to save her life. But for that he has to risk everything, and put his own life at stake, he wonders why he should do it at all, if she still loves another.

He’s torn, but love knows no reason. Meanwhile Shyam is trying to make deals in captivity, and his goodness only seems superficial and as Kuldeep tries desperately to save his situation, there are dons coming from Bangkok, who have their own plans.

The film rides a roller-coaster towards a shattering climax, where all the players have to fend for their lives and loves. Who gets the girl, and who gets the money, and who escapes by the skin of his teeth, is now anybody’s guess. But hold on, there are still jokers in the pack, and aces up some sleeves.

>Kareena Kapoor All Set for 2011

>

Kareena Kapoor is in the business of Bollywood for a decade now. She started off by playing the demure but spunky Nazneen in ‘Refugee’ and since then, irrespective of the fate of the film she has collected the favor of the audiences. Her films tanked more often than not but her work was always appreciated. Kareena, or Bebo as she is known among her close ones, hit the bull’s eye with Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Jab We Met’. Life changed for her as an actress and this one movie catapulted her into the top slot among Bolly actresses.

Kareena is known to be experimental with her looks and body. She made Size Zero famous on this side of the Atlantic. But now she’s grown out of her ‘Tashan’ days. Bebo is back to being a little voluptuous. Her beau, Saif Ali Khan, has mentioned in several interviews that he likes Kareena with some weight and not the reed-thin Size Zero frame. Kareena has an interesting line-up of films in 2011. She comes with Saif in his home production ‘Agent Vinod’. Saif is making this film like a Bollywood version of James Bond. Sriram Raghavan, the director of stylized films like ‘Ek Haseena Thi’ and ‘Johnny Gaddar’ is at the helm.

She packs in a mean punch with Shah Rukh Khan’s home production ‘Ra.One’. Director Anubhav Sinha is making this superhero movie. She also hits the screens with Salman Khan-starrer ‘Bodyguard’. If you thought that her costars are only the big Khans, there’s a movie with Imraan Khan too! It’s tentatively titled ‘Short Term Shaadi’ and is being produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. Did I tell you that she’s also slated to start work on a film with Aamir Khan?  Kareena’s upcoming movies of 2011 can throw any Bollywood fan into a tizzy!
