>Deepika’s Turn to Be Item Girl!

>

Deepika Padukone will be the item number sensation in 2011! At least, that’s what she is aiming for. Deepika will groove to the hit song of Zeenat Aman, ‘Dum Maro Dum’. The year 2010 belonged to Sheila and Munni. If things go her way, 2011 will belong to Deepika. She’s leaving no stone unturned to ensure that her dance number is shot and choreographed by the best team. Her aim is to make it better than ‘Sheila ki Jawani’, a song that continues to rule the roost and get Farah Khan one award after another. In terms of awards, Sheila has beaten Munni quite comprehensively!

The film that Deepika will swing to has the very epitome of sensuality,Bipasha Basu, in the lead. The dance number will be a rehash of the one that made Zeenat Aman a sensation. Deepika wants to look her best and do something that will turn her career on its head. However, it won’t just be Deepika Padukone who will put on her dancing shoes in 2011. Kareena Kapoor will do the same in Shah Rukh Khan’s home production ‘Ra.One’. Her song is titled ‘Chammak Chhallo’. The sensual item song will see the svelte Kareena groove to the beat. As obvious, Shah Rukh is leaving no stone unturned to make his heroine the new buzzword in Bollywood.

Kareena is already the toast of the town, of course! Newcomer Ranveer Singh, who’s grabbing all the debutant male actor awards for ‘Band Baaja Baarat’ is a self-confessed Kareena Kapoor fan. He appeared on Karan’s chat show ‘Koffee with Karan’ and admitted to his undying love for the diva. He didn’t bat an eyelid before going down on his knees to speak about his love for Bebo, despite having lady-love Anushka Sharma on the same couch. Seems like Kareena is a darling that everyone wants to be with!

>Salman Khan approached for YRF Film

>

There is no telling what a superhit can do for you! Till ‘Dabangg’ came and blew all box-office records away, very few producers were willing to take the temperamental Salman Khan on board. His star tantrums, his own sense of punctuality and regular run-ins with co-stars and lawmakers, forced marquee production houses to stay far away from Salman. Things have changed with ‘Dabangg’ and ‘Wanted’. While he worked only with friends till some months back, the brawny actor is now getting numerous offers from the bigger names of Bollywood. Case in point is a certain Yash Raj Films.

Yes, you read that right! Aditya Chopra, the scion of Yash Raj Films, approached Salman Khan for a Kabir Khan film. Initially Kabir Khan wanted to repeat his star of two films, John Abraham, in the upcoming one as well. But after the success of ‘Dabangg’, Kabir wants Salman on board. He feels that Sallu would be a bigger draw at the box office for his romantic drama. Aditya Chopra instantly agreed and has started sending out feelers to Salman on accepting the role. Years back, Aditya had approached Salman to play the lead in ‘Chak De India’, a role that went to Shah Rukh Khan. Salman fell out over the money that he was offered.

This time, too, Salman is playing it cautiously. He’s one actor who cannot go to the sets and deliver. He needs to have a good and comfortable work equation with the team. Aditya Chopra is known to be a close friend of Shah Rukh, Salman’s one-time friend and now sworn enemy. Salman is not sure how he will be handled in the film. The enmity between the SRK and Sallu doesn’t look to end despite Shah Rukh’s apology act on ‘Koffee with Karan’. Last heard, Salman was saying that SRK apologized to increase the TRPs of best buddy Karan’s chat show!
