ASIN HUMILIATED YET AGAIN

Asin’s mixed experiences in Bollywood continue as she is consistently bagging some plump offers and at the same time losing few.
Recently, Asin was removed from Gharshana Hindi remake as John Abraham didn’t find her ‘sexy’ enough to do that role. He didn’t even bother to consider the fact that Asin did the same role in the Telugu version. John said that she is not looking like Bollywood material.
Now even before Asin swallowed that humiliation she was yet again kicked out of another Bollywood film. Asin was earlier roped into play second fiddle to Priyanka Chopra in Anurag Basu directed film, Silence, in which Ranbir Kapoor is doing the lead role.
Anurag silently removed Asin from the film citing ‘height’ problems. He told that the character demand a much taller girl and Asin didn’t suit it well.
Looks like Asin should think about making a legal agreement with whoever gives her an offer to avoid this kind of humiliations and late rejections.

ACTOR CHEATS HIS FANS!

The much hyped Diving scene in Raavan where we see Abhishek Bachan jumping from an 80 feet height into the water has ignited a controversy now. Abhishek boasted of himself of doing such risky stunt in the promotional events of Raavan. But the truth is he didn’t perform that dive in the film. A body-double was used to can that scene. Bangalore based diving champion MS Balaram did that stunt on screen and he was paid for it. Balaram is proud to be a part of Raavan, but Abhishek’s claims about the stunt didn’t go well with him. His story about the stunt was reported by a popular English Daily and now Abhishek is being termed as a ‘liar’.
Abhishek, who was not so happy with all the criticism on his performance in Raavan should be hurt by this latest controversy. Hmm… seems like Raavan turns a true Villain for Abhi!

IHLS IS A HUGE HIT

Karan Johar’s production I Hate Love Stories that was released on last Friday opened to houseful crowds all over. Multiplex junta and young audiences thronged to the theatres giving this small film a thunderous opening in the first weekend. It netted around 23 crores in 3 days only in India. The break up was 7 crores on Friday, 7.5 on Saturday and 8.5 on Sunday. However, shows were abandoned today due to Bharath Bandh.
This is the first hit for Sonam Kapoor, who played rather serious roles in contrast to her age in her previous films. She was being considered as the biggest assets of this candy floss romantic flick. Imraan Khan, who had a bad run after his successful debut Jaane Tu… is at home in doing this romantic tale. Despite the mixed reviews IHLS is going to be a blockbuster in terms of ROI.

GENELIA’S THREAT TO HANSIKA!

Hansika, who was head over heels when she bagged the role opposite Tamil superstar Vijay in his latest film Velayudham, is now back on her foot and also slightly threatened by the fact that Genelia is going to share the screen with her in this film. Genelia was roped in as the other lead lady in Velayudham. The very idea of competing with Genelia is sending shivers down Hansika’s spine as the former is to good an actress when compared to the latter. Hansika, who highly relies on skin show, is feeling the heat that Genelia might take away all the credit in this film. Genelia has done very few films in Tamil till now, but she managed to impress many with her chirpy and lovable antics. Whereas, Hansika is yet to make a mark for herself in Tamil cinema industry.
