Sanjay Leela Bhansali is having one hell of a difficult time finding his Gujrati Juliet for his adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet titled Ram Leela. While Ranveer Singh is confirmed for the role of Ram, the role of Leela is having much too much trouble being filled. The rumour mill is a buzz with [...]
It’s perhaps the only million-dollar question that gets asked the most often in B’Town and to only one person. The person being the one and only Kajol and the question being “When do you return to the big screen?” However never have we come across an actress more content with her decisions. With no regrets [...]
B’town was present in full force at Vogue’s India’s first Beauty Awards. Here’s a lowdown of the fashion on the redcarpet!

However, come the millennium and the selling of your remake rights and the subsequent [...]
People choose to start with a bang, however Aditi Rao Hydari has chosen to silently climb the ladder and slowly enter the hearts of the viewers.

It seems like Bebo is getting into the habit of turning down roles only to later want them back. With Heroine the sentiment worked out quite perfectly with Ash out of the project and Kareena’s script demands being met. However, she wasn’t so lucky with the Dharma-Balaji project that she turned down. One of the most anticipated films [...]
Producer of what now may be a shelved film, Rock the Shaadi, has lashed out at Abhay Deol for his candid behaviour in front of the media when asked about the status of the film.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan The tabloids may be busy writing all sorts of nonsense about Ash and her baby-weight but the new Mom didn’t let any of that take a toll on her confidence at the event. It was a flowing maxi for Ash for a photo call at the festival. Gotta love everything about this [...]

Before you start listing the names of the ladies who could have possibly put our Sundeep in this position let us clarify that the credit to the emotion goes solely to the love anthem of the season, ‘Pani Da Rang’. The Shor guy who seems to have gone off the radar after his dhamaakedaar debut [...]
It’s a busy week for B-Towners with red carpet events filling up their calendars.

When all the biggies have an award show to their name, how could the people who deliver the best in cinema and television be left behind! Balaji had its very own award show that celebrated not just the best in cinema but also television talents of 2011. The name was all the show needed to [...]
After directing a film that is as commercial and Bollywood as they get, Rajshree Ojha returns to the screen with her film Chaurahen, and this time commercial is anything but what the film looks like. Originally completed in 2007, Chaurahen went on to screen at 11 international film festivals before securing theatrical distribution in India [...]
Boney Kapoor’s laadla, Arjun Kapoor, is making his debut with the top production house of the country (surprise, surprise…but why no papa-financed-debut?!) opposite the country’s latest obsession, addiction and laadli, Parineeti Chopra. Ishaqzaade starts it promotional activities with its theatrical trailer and is gearing up for May 18th release. So needless to say another film proves that [...]
Can you fall in love with the same person over and over again? Does meeting them at different stages of your and their life mean you meet a new person each time? Anu Menon perhaps did not think I’d walk out the cinema with such questions after watching her debut film but essentially that is [...]

I love a good turnout at an award show because it just gives you twice as much fashion to scream and shout about! Whilst I did miss some of the biggies at the Stardust Awards (who may just have been preoccupied by the hush hush wedding of David Dhawan’s son in Goa), the attendance at [...]
