4 Idiots in the making, will be release next year

Not exactly a sequel to Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘3 Idiots’ but just an inspiration of the movie. ‘ The 4th Idiot’ is a movie of course but not a feature film but an animated film that will entertain the kids and the adults alike.

Produced by Biswaroop Roy Chowdhary, ‘The 4th Idiot’ is an inspiration of the ‘3 Idiots’ but is completely a new story with new star cast, but the only thing that will be part of the new movie from the old one is, the voice accent of ‘Chatur Ramalingam’, the nerd who tries to speak ‘shudh’ Hindi.

Further divulging in to details, the makers of the film say that the main character of the movie is an intelligent boy named ‘Pappu’ who studies in a school that is similar to Amir Khan’s school in ‘3 Idiots’, where students are highly innovative. The voice over for ‘Pappu’ is by Omi Vaidya who acted as ‘Chatur Ramalingam’.

Interestingly the producers have decided to premiere the movie at World Unity Convention Centre, Lucknow. They added saying what is not known to most of them is that the World’s largest school ‘The City Montessori School’ is in Lucknow. Now that’s even better news!

Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan together in Telugu Remake Magadheer

These are two of the names being seriously considered for the Hindi remake of the Telugu Blockbuster film Magadheera directed by S.S Rajamouli. Released in July last year, the film grossed over Rs. 65 crores in India alone and is said to be the second-biggest Telugu hit after Ghajini which holds the record for being the biggest hit ever in Telugu films.

With this Telugu remake into Hindi that is expected to take off early next year, producers Allu Arvind and Madhu Mantena who also co-produced Ghajini in both Telugu and Hindi, hope to raise the bars for action-drama cinema in Hindi once again.

The remake, to be budgeted at Rs. 70 crores, is deeply ambitious. The Hindi version of Magadheera is expected to star Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan.

While in the original Telugu film which is set in 17th century and in today’s times, the hero Ram Charan Teja plays a double role, the remake, it is reliably learnt, will split the hero’s personality into two parts. Apparently, Hrithik will play the 17th century Samurai while Aamir will play his present-day avatar.

Says Madhu Mantena, “Yes. Allu Arvind and I are remaking Magadheera in Hindi. As for the cast, it’s too early to talk about it. But Magadheera is definitely planned to be bigger than Ghajini.”

Aamir Khan to host KBC kaun Banega Crorepati 4

The buzz in the television world is that Aamir Khan has been approached to host Kaun Banega Crorepati 4 (KBC4), which was first hosted by Amitabh Bachchan followed by Shah Rukh Khan.While Aamir hasnt accepted the offer, he hasnt rejected it either.As the buzz grows to a roar,it seems the only hurdle still to be negotiated is the price.

Reportedly, Aamir has been offered even more money than SRK was (Rs 75 lakh per episode). Once he allots dates,the deal will be inked.

The fact that Aamir is a newbie on TV makes this a major casting coup for the channel that will ultimately air the popular game show.

Says a source, Aamirs initial reaction was to decline the offer for the very reason why he was approached. KBC had already been done by two bollywood superstars. He didnt want to generate unnecessary comparisons. Also, the actor had decided to set aside the entire year to put finishing touches to his underproduction movies.

When approached, Siddhartha Basu, whose company Synergy is the licensed producer of KBC, the Indian version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire says, Its too early to talk about the next season of KBC. Sony Pictures, who now own the game show, might have had initial discussions with Aamir. But, the details for the next season will take a long time to formulate.

While Aamir refused to comment, his official spokespersons neither confirmed nor denied the story.

If Aamir does the show it will be interesting to see what phrase he coins to lock the answer on the lines of Amitabhs lock kiya jaye and Shah Rukhs freeze kiya jaye. His demeanour too will be closely watched. Will he be affable yet dignified like Amitabh Bachchan or chummy like Shah Rukh Or will Aamir, who is unique in every possible way including making radical career choices, just be his utterly charming self.

Aamir Khan: I am the brand ambassador of India

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan steered clear of the controversy over star Amitabh Bachchan endorsing Gujarat, saying he is the brand ambassador of whole of India.

When asked whether he would become the ambassador of any state if he is asked to, the actor replied, "I endorse Incredible India, so I am the brand ambassador of the whole country."

The actor has been a prominent face of the 'Incredible India' campaign which promotes tourism in the country.

The actor was in the capital for an off-camera interaction with the Broadcast Editor's Association, after which he spoke to the media where he was asked to comment on Bachchan being the ambassador of a state to promote its tourism.

"I don't think I should comment on that," the actor told reporters here.

The 45-year-old actor also said he is not against the idea of Bollywood actors becoming politicians.

"An actor is a citizen of the country. He also has the right to the freedom of expression just like other people," he said.

Aamir said that the interaction with the Broadcast Editors was an opportunity for him to understand the media and was a learning experience for him.

"Perhaps I have been a bit judgemental about the media earlier. When you go deep into a profession you understand its problems. There is a good and a bad to everything. What is appreciable is the sincere effort to improve," said Aamir.

When asked whether he would make a film on the media ever, the actor-turned filmmaker said," Why not? If a good script on the subject comes my way then surely."

Katrina Kaif and the four Bollywood Khans

Who looks the best?
Let’s just skip the Kapoors and Kumars. If you let gallop the horses of your mind trying to figure out with which Khan Katrina Kaif will look the best on screen, you might scratch your head bald with indecision.

Fact is, the stunner that she is, Katrina has beauty and pizzazz to hold her place opposite any of the Khans in the industry. We’ve already seen her do so with Salman Khan and Saif Ali Khan in films. She has rubbed shoulders will Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan as well, though a film with the two is yet to happen.

And not surprisingly, Katrina recently expressed her heartfelt wish to do a film with Aamir and Shahrukh each. If that happens, Katrina will be among the selected few actresses (including Kareena Kapoor) to have worked with the Khan quartet of Bollywood.

Here, you check out her chemistry with each Khan.


Salman Khan
Doubtlessly if anyone can cozy up to Katrina with the smouldering intensity that Akshay does, it’s got to be her boyfriend Salman Khan. The two have acted in many a film, but their onscreen Jodi hasn’t really created the spark.


Saif Ali Khan
The two paired up in Race and did whip up sizzling chemistry in the few intimate scenes. Sadly, Katrina is out of the movie’s sequel.


Shahrukh Khan
Those who think Salman would never let Kat work with SRK, think again.


Aamir Khan
Katrina and Aamir have already posed together for the cover of the Cineblitz magazine in which Aamir posed as Guru Dutt and Katrina as Waheeda Rahman. The two definitely look good together.

At a recent press conference Kaif said, “I would love to work with Aamir and Shah Rukh...They are extremely talented and experienced. I haven't had the opportunity to work with them because I haven't been offered any films with them as yet.”

Well, we can’t wait to see her romancing the two Khans.

Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan in Rajkumar Hirani's next?

It seems gossipmongers love to pitch Bollywood actors Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan against each other. After writing lots of stories about their rivalry, they are now trying to push them into the same frying pan.

Yes the grapevine is abuzz with the news that both Aamir and Shahrukh are trying to get a piece of the filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, the man behind Munnabhai series and 3 Idiots. It is said that both of them are very eager to work in his next film and thus keeping an eye on him.

Aamir had worked with Hirani in the hit film 3 Idiots but Shahrukh lost out on Munnabhai series. So, it seems Aamir wants to work with him again and Shahrukh too wants to make up the past lost.

Aamir Khan: The original 'serial kisser'

Emraan Hashmi might have earned the tag of being a serial kisser but it wasn't Emraan but rather Aamir who started the kissing trend in Bollywood. There is buzz in the tinsel town that Aamir has locked his lips with Kareena Kapoor in the movie 3 Idiots. Now, that's nothing new for the perfectionist actor who has locked lips with all the Bollywood actresses in the last two decades of his career. Here are some instances of Aamir's lip locks.

Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak: Aamir made his kissing debut in his debut movie Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. Aamir's up and down kiss with Juhi Chawla made the audience realise that there was a man hidden behind Bollywood's 'chocolate boy.' This was a bold act in an non-kissing era where QSQT had more kisses that all the movies put together in that year!

Love, Love, Love: If the Aamir-Juhi kiss of QSQT wasn't enough to excite the fans the pair did it again a year later in Love, Love, Love. Although the movie set in the backdrop of cricket bombed at the Box Office the kiss would serve as a lesson to the Indian cricketers for years to come. Aamir literally stole the kiss from Juhi in a sea beach.

Dil: Although Madhuri Dixit had a bad kissing experience with Vinod Khanna in Dayavan, Aamir did not disappoint the 'Dhak Dhak Girl.' The movie went on to become a blockbuster and the Aamir-Madhuri lip lock established the romantic essence in the movie. The kiss would have surely helped Madhuri win the Filmfare Best Actress Award.

Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin: The Mahesh Bhatt directed movie has Aamir opposite his daughter Pooja Bhatt. When a young man and women miss a bus and are left to spend the night in a stable love is bound to erupt. In the movie Aamir couldn't resist Pooja Bhatt's tiny lips and what happened next was a sizzling lip lock breaking barrier of the 90s.

Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar: It was the chance of another Pooja to have a lip lock in with Aamir in Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. Already having sizzled in the Kamasutra condom ad, Pooja Bedi gave the best scene of her short Bollywood career. Ayesha Jhulka, who loved Aamir in the movie had tears in her eyes as she witnessed the steamy kissing from distance.

Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke: Who could have imagined that there would be lip lock in a movie like Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke. But Aamir and Juhi made their hat-trick in it. The duo had a short lip lock in the romantic comedy.

Akele Hum Akele Tum: The movie of a young boy torn between the divorce battle of his parents. A successful wife and struggling husband a perfect recipe for a marital discord. Director Mansoor Khan still ensured that Aamir and Manisha Koirala's lips were also in focus in the movie. The movie connected well with the audience and Manisha was the latest in Aamir's kissography.

Raja Hindustani: This surely was the hottest ever kiss in Aamir's career. A rainy sequence, a young man a young woman under a tree and a huge thunderstorm. Does the situation need to get any better. Aamir and Karisma locked their lips for well over 40 seconds and the movie was one of the biggest hits of the 90s. The scene would have surely been a bench mark for the Mallika Sherawats and Emraan Hashmis.

Ishq: The years was 1997 and Aamir was back with his favourite kissing partner Juhi Chawla. It was a kiss different from all others in the past. It was a forced kiss and in full public glare. What's more it was a two for one offer as Juhi replied Aamir's forced kiss with greater vigour. Surely by than Aamir and Juhi knew a thing or two about kissing each other.

Ghulam: After a horribly debut in Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, Rani Mukherjee needed a boost in her career and what better way than locking her lips with Aamir in the rain. What a rape seen in Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat could not do for Rani a lip lock with Aamir did. Rani Mukherjee soon became one of the most sought after actresses in the industry.

Rang De Basanti: After kissing all the top actresses in Bollywood, it was Aamir's turn to have a lip-lock with a foreign babe in Rang De Basanti. Alice Patten did not disappoint Aamir either. While the entire RDB cast was dancing to the tunes of the song Khalbali, Aamir and Alice expressed their love for each other in the sizzling lip-lock.

Looking at Aamir's kissography spread over two decades it seems Emraan Hashmi has got the tag too early in his career. Emraan will surely have to go a long way to match Aamir.
