SRK and Sanjay Dutt to come together in KJo’s next movie


The two heavyweights of Bollywood are all set for rock the show on-screen. If reports are to be believed, Shah Rukh Khan and Sanjay Dutt might come together for ‘Agneepath’ director Karan Malhotra’s next.

Buzz has it that Malhotra is keen to make a sequel to 2012 blockbuster ‘Agneepath’ and for the same he is interested to cast SRK and Sanju.

Talking to daily, Karan Malhotra said, “All I can say at the moment is that I do have a film in mind and it’s not a sequel or a remake. As soon as I have a clearer picture I will first tell my producer Karan Johar about it, then share it with the world.”

Dharma Productions have reportedly indicated that the filmmaker’s next project would be a rugged action film with ‘tailor-made’ roles for Dutt and SRK.

While the two actors have been very friendly off screen, it would be interesting to see full-fledged roles in a flick!

Vidya Balan's KAHAANI is year's biggest hit


In cost-recovery ratio terms Vidya Balan starrer KAHAANI with its Rs. 24 crore nett first week box office collections and a clear week ahead, which is certain to fetch in another 15 crores, is all set to become the biggest hit of the year thus far, pushing AGNEEPATH to number two position. It is a dream run for a film of this kind. It has turned out to be a highly profitable investment for its producer Jayantilal Gada and his first major hit. Gada must be ruing his decision to sell its satellite rights cheap to Star TV. Had he held back, he would have fetched a price in the range of 15-20 crores. The film may also revive the career of its director Sujoy Ghosh.


The film reinforces Vidya Balan's star power and puts her on as high a pedestal as the top line male stars of the industry. A comparison between the cost and the cast of AGNEEPATH and KAHAANI is quite revealing. On one hand you have an opulent production with the combined star power of maharathis like Rishi Kapoor, and Sanjay Dutt, and heartthrobs like Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra, supported by a mighty banner like Dharma Productions led by one of the gods among producers/promoters Karan Johar, commandeering his media power worth crores.

 In KAHAANI you just have Vidya Balan who anchors and promotes the film single-handedly, travelling in buses and trains, walking on streets, with a dummy tummy, trying hard to create enough buzz for her small film that was shot on actual locations, mostly with a hand-held camera. And in the end it's this underdog of a film that does better than the behemoth.
AGNEEPATH cost close to 50 crores and went on to earn around Rs.100 crores with the widest ever release of a Bollywood film.

KAHAANI cost about 5-8 crores, and it has already done a business of Rs. 24 crores and is still going strong and may end up with box office receipts of Rs.55 crores by the time it goes off the wide screen. Over and above, it has garnered universal critical acclaim. KAHAANI undoubtedly is an obvious winner in comparison.

There is one more comparison that must be made. AGNEEPATH success party happened on the second day of its release, the day its collections nose-dived. The success party of KAHAANI took place after the weekly box office collection reports certified the film a hit. Hype works, sometimes hard work and perseverance work too.

Sanjay Dutt becomes dangerously expensive!

Sanjay Dutt’s ‘Kancha Cheena’ has been able to give many children sleepless nights. And apparently, with Sanju Baba charging a hefty sum of 10 crores per movie, he has extended the recipients of sleepless nights to filmmakers as well!

‘Agneepath’ shot Sanjay Dutt to a hitherto unseen zenith. And once on the peak, he is not keen on giving his hard-earned position up. Dutt’s earlier ventures used to fetch him somewhere around 5 crores a movie. After his stellar performance as ‘Kancha Cheena’ in the blockbuster, however, Sanjay Dutt has doubled his price. Affording him is no longer an easy task.

According to many viewers, Sanjay Dutt was probably the prime reason behind the success of ‘Agneepath’. Far and wide, people have been showering praises over Dutt’s menacing act in the movie. And now he has made sure that the praises don’t go in vain. At least for 10 crores a film, we hope for many ‘Kancha Cheena’-like performances from the actor!

Karan to gift new Jaguar to Katrina?

After the success of Chikni Chameli Katrina kaif seems to be the new addition to Karan Johar's best friends' list. We hear, that the filmmaker is finally going to gift her a car worth Rs. 1.5 crs.

Chikni Chameli has become one of the more popular songs in Bollwood. No doubt Katrina's item song is the biggest highlight of the film 'Agneepath'. Looking at the success of the song producer Karan Johar has decided to gift a new Jaguar to Katrina.

The news doing the rounds a few weeks ago is that Kjo was all set to gift Kat a Ferrari. Having denied the rumours, the talks are that it's a Jaguar that Katrina is going to be bestowed with this week. In the meanwhile, Katrina is currently in Cuba shooting for Ek Tha Tiger. According to an industry insider Karan is expected to gift her a Jaguar worth rupees 1.5 crores this week.

Not many know that Katrina didn't take a single penny for doing Chikni Chameli. Though Katrina and Karan haven't worked together before, there are possibilities that duo will come together for a film soon.

Sanjay Dutt not happy with ‘Kancha’ in Agneepath

The blood-curdling, spine-chilling, terrifying bald avatar of Sanjay Dutt, aka ‘Kancha Cheena’, is a character that India can never forget. Perhaps somewhere down the line, mothers would be found scaring their children with the name ‘Kancha’ in order to make them behave properly. Such is the portrayal of sheer villainy that Sanjay Dutt has been able to give life to.

While the country and countrymen are still cringing in fear just at the thought of ‘Kancha Cheena’, and gaping in awe at the actor behind the role, Sanjay Dutt doesn’t seem to be too happy on being referred to as ‘Kancha’. His role in the movie ‘Agneepath’ was perhaps the most commendable one. The act that he put up in the movie shouts out his consummate skills.

However, recently at the success party of ‘Agneepath’, hosted by Hrithik Roshan at his Juhu residence, Sanjay snapped at photographers who had referred to him as ‘Kancha’. At the party, Sanjay had arrived at around 11.30 in the night and when he was leaving at about 2.30am, he was in an inebriated state. The photographers worked themselves into frenzy when they spotted the actor leaving Hrithik’s place.

One of the photographers then present at the spot recalled the incident to a daily, “We wanted him to pose for us, and normally we cheer for actors by referring to them by their screen names.”

Apparently, Sanjay Dutt wasn’t too happy on being called ‘Kancha’, and snapped at the photographers present there. Reason for his shocking behaviour, however, is still puzzling. The befuddled onlookers didn’t know how to react. And we’re still wondering, may be Sanjay Dutt still wants to be referred as ‘Munna Bhai’.

B-town Reviews: AGNEEPATH is a BLOCKBUSTER!

Bollywood has been running ‘Agneepath’ fever ever since the film hit the screens this Republic Day. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, ‘Agneepath’ has raked a whopping Rs 51.6 crores over this weekend.

Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra have been tirelessly thanking people for complementing their job in the flick and for making it a Box Office success.

When ‘Chikni Chameli’ incited bloodbath in a bar

Katrina Kaif’s sizzling hot number ‘Chikni Chameli’ has been responsible for triggering a fight between a person and a group of men in a bar in Dahisar, a Mumbai suburb.

The fight got so brutal that gunshots were fired and people taken to the hospital.

A leading daily broke the news of this untoward happening. Reportedly, a business man named Gupta requested a singer at the bar to sing ‘Chikni Chameli’ a number of times despite objections raised by the other customers. The man in question insisted on listening to the song over and over again and this annoyed the others around.

The unpleasant incident started with a verbal spat and followed with the man and the others assaulting each other physically. The bar management was forced to intervene and had to pull them apart.

Before leaving the bar, Gupta instigated the group by threatening them. And this is when the group lost control and indulged in a fist fight with Gupta again.

Gupta then pulled out his revolver and shot them injuring two. The man was eventually arrested.

Ajay Devgn gave away Chikni Chameli to Karan Johar

While most people think Ajay Devgn is not particularly fond of his wife Kajol's gang of friends (Karan Johar included), that's far from the truth. The star recently gave away the rights of Chikni Chameli when he heard KJo wanted it for Agneepath.

Says a source close to Devgn, "Director Rohit Shetty and he had signed on the music directors of the original Marathi song as they wanted an item song for Bol Bachchan. The song also featured AD and Abhishek Bachchan in it. Rohit was planning to approach Katrina Kaif or Kareena Kapoor for the same. This would be the first time that a Rohit Shetty film would have an item song. But everything changed when Karan approached Ajay-Atul to do Chikni Chameli for them in Agneepath."

The music duo also requested Devgn for permission to do the song with Karan instead as the film was releasing before Bol Bachchan and doing a film with KJo would mean a lot to them. "Ajay was moved by their request and immediately told them they could go ahead. Now Rohit and Ajay have decided to scrap the song from the film altogether. It was a gesture few know about, including Karan himself."

Katrina kaif as Chikni Chameli hottest item song

The much awaited item number 'Chikni Chameli' from Karan Johar's film AGNEEPATH is out. You can't stop bulging your eyes or drooling over while watching Katrina Kaif's raunchy, bawdy moves in the song.

If 'Sheila ki Jawani' was hot, Chikni Chameli is hottest item song of Katrina Kaif!

It seems after spending a good 7-8 years in Bollywood and with 3 item numbers Katrina Kaif has caught the pulse of the audiences of how and when to entice. From hanging to a chandelier to lighting a matchstick by rubbing on her chikni body to flaunting pahua (carrying a bottle) on her naazuk kamar Katrina gyrates the song with her sexy adayein.

Dressed as Maharashtrian mulgi, Katrina looks nothing less than terrific.

'Chikni Chameli' is the remake of popular Marathi song 'Kombdi'. The song also features Hrithik Roshan, who plays Vijay Deenanath Chauhan, gives a serious angry look, while the bald Kancha Cheena played by Sanjay Dutt stares at Katrina.
