Top On Vidya Balan's Wish List

Vidya Balan

Having aced many challenging roles, Vidya Balan now has her eyes set on a double role and a role opposite "eternal romantic" Shah Rukh Khan.

Balan looks upon her recent double role - as a sensuous character and a traditional one - in the TVC of Pepsico's popular baked snack Aliva as just starters.

At the Aliva launch event in New Delhi, Vidya made a memorable appearance in a striking outfit that combined her two on-screen looks.

But it's a double role in a film that Vidya is really gunning for.

"I want to do double roles. I love Sridevi in Chaalbaaz and Hema Malini in Seeta Aur Geeta," she told HT during a recent visit to the NCR.

Her other unfulfilled ambition is to work with Shah Rukh Khan.

"I always want to work with Shah Rukh. For me, he is the eternal romantic. Let's see when it happens," she said.

For the time being, Balan is enjoying a short break from films before starting on Raj Kumar Gupta's Ghanchakkar, opposite Emraan Hashmi, in August.

"I am excited as this is for the first time that I will be doing comedy on the big screen after Hum Paanch on TV," she said.

In more Vidya Balan news, Kahaani director Sujoy Ghosh recently tweeted that he had started work on two new script - One for the Bachchans and "one for THE Bachchan and one for the Balan."

Aamir Khan Breaks Self-Made Rule

Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan, known for his one film a year rule, will soon have three films under production at the same time.

Fresh off the success of his debut TV talk show, Satyamev Jayate, Aamir is set to get back to the movie business with vengeance.

The 46-year-old actor/producer will soon start filming for Dhoom 3 in which he plays a gymnast who uses his agility to pull off daring heists and evade arrest, always staying one step ahead of the cops in chase.

He will then move on to promote his first release of 2012, Talaash, which he has co-produced with Farhan Akhtar's Excell Entertainment. The film is due in theaters on November 30. Talaash's release was delayed from June to November so that Aamir can get enough time to plan a good marketing strategy for the film.

In December, Aamir begins shooting for Raju Hirani's much awaited PK. There are reports Anushka Sharma is a strong contender for the female lead in the film.

Aamir says his simultaneous involvement in multiple film projects is a one time exception and he will revert to doing one film at a time in the days ahead.

"Yes, it's been a long time since I've had so many films on the floor at once, but trust me it's just a co-incidence. If I had my way, I'd stick to my one film, one year format," Aamir told DNA.

With so many of his films produced at one time, it's going to be rough sailing for the other A-list actors!

Imran Khan Signed as Male Lead in 2 States

Imran Khan

Imran Khan has been signed as the male lead in the screen adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's 2 States, which is a joint production by Sajid Nadiadwala and Karan Johar.

"Karan was keen to have Imran on board. The actor takes his time to commit to any film. But he loved the script of 2 States and gave his nod to the film, which is expected to start early next year," a source told Mumbai Mirror.

The female lead has not been finalized yet.

Originally the film was announced in the fall of 2010 with Saif Ali Khan as the male lead and Priyanka Chopra's and Deepika Padukone's names doing the rounds for the female lead.

In December 2010, Vishal Bhardwaj stepped in as the director/co-producer of the film and Shah Rukh Khan was announced to play the lead.

Within a month, there were reports of SRK and Bhardwaj having creative differences and the film likely being shelved.

October 2011, Karan Johar stepped in as a co-producer of the film, and Ranbir Kapoor was brought on board as the male lead. The actor confirmed he was in the film to media outlets, but the film never saw light of the day.

Talks with Imran Khan, took place recently. The 29-year-old actor just completed filming for Vishal Bhardwaj's Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola. He will next begin filming for Milan Luthria's Once Upon A Time In Mumbai... Again.

The 2 States- The story of my marriage is a tale of a Punjabi boy, Krish, and a Tamil girl, Ananya, who meet at IIM Ahmadabad. They fall in love and want to marry, but their parents are opposed to the idea. The story recounts the couple's efforts to make the parents come around, and their eventual success.

The plot is inspired by Bhagat's own life - he is from Delhi and his wife, Anusha, from Tamil Nadu - and is narrated as a first person account.

Knowing Imran's formidable acting skills, we're sure the film will be a must-see!

Afrojack Dump Paris Hilton

Afrojack

Paris Hilton earns billions, enjoys luxury, and seems to live in a “fairy tale.” Only there seems to be no “Prince” to appear in her life. Another boyfriend of Hilton’s, the 24-year-old Dutchman Nick van de Wall, better known as DJ Afrojack, decided to part with his beloved.
According to the reliable sources, the couple was still together at the beginning of this year, and Nick even went to live in his girlfriend’s house. However, after a while he decided that the relationship went “too far” and hurried to retreat. He said that he was not yet ready to settle down and wanted to enjoy his freedom. And Paris? The same sources claim that she is extremely disappointed, because she wanted to finally find her “Prince”:
“Afrojack had moved into Paris’ Beverly Hills mansion earlier this year, and the two got very serious. But Afrojack just wanted to have fun and not be exclusive with anyone. He is on the road practically every day performing in clubs all over the world, and he just isn’t ready to settle down, whereas Paris is.”
Most representatives of the “Princess” said the couple had never been together:
“They’ve never said they’re together. They’ve always expressed that they are good friends. They are sort of laughing off reports they broke up because there was never a boyfriend / girlfriend relationship to begin with.”
As a good friend, DJ Afrojack has repeatedly spoken warmly about Paris and her talent:
“She may not be a Celine Dion, but she knows how to perform on stage. She knows how to sing, believe it or not. The girl can sing.”
We will be able to see if Paris can sing at the end of summer, when her new dance album will be released in collaboration with rapper Flo Rida, LFMAO, and David Guetta.
