My Maamu is a slave driver: Imran Khan

After slogging his way to stardom with his producer-uncle's guidance in Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na Imran Khan is all set to do yet another film with his exacting uncle."Yes I'm finally doing Delhi Belly, and never mind if my Maamu is a bit of a slave-driver, " jokes Imran. "But seriously I'm actually thrilled to be doing Delhi Belly. The work with Aamir is always great. And after Jaane Tu …we're doing something totally different this time."Delhi Belly to be directed ad-maker Abhinay Deo is a sex comedy about a young foreign-returned dude's adventures in the Capital. Ranbir Kapoor was finalized for the role before date hassles cropped up.Ironically Imran says he was the first choice but had to opt out due to a dates problem."I had met the director for Delhi Belly about 6-7 months ago and he had even screen-tested me. But there was a major MAJOR date hassles.Since my dates were locked in for Luck I requested the Delhi Belly guys to adjust accordingly. But they were unable to adjust their dates according to my schedule.And since I had combination dates for Luck with Mithuda and Sanju Baba I had given up the idea of doing Delhi Belly."But some "luck' this."Ya, you can say that again. My Luck dates were pre-poned and Delhi Belly dates were shifted forward. So I'm finally doing the film. Kehte hain daane-daane pe likha hai khaane wale ka naam. The same goes for roles, I guess."Any regrets about not being in Abbas Tyrewala's next film?Imran is unfazed. "No regrets at all. After Jaane Tu… Abbas is a dear friend. If he needs me for a film he'll call me. I'm now working with other directors. He's working with other actors.We aren't in a space where we need to sit and cry because we aren't working together. There's so much stuff happening to me I've no time to brood over what I'm not doing.Fortunately I've people in my life like my mom and my girlfriend to keep me grounded. "
Ends Imran, "Right now I'm in South Africa. After I finish Luck and start my Uncle's Delhi Belly I plan to take a break.".

Salman khan Also stands isolated as SRK-Bachchans cosy up

By Summaiyah Wahab Khan Shah Rukh Khan's presence at the Drona premiere should surprise no one. Ever since the open squabble with Salman Khan both the Khans have been drawing themselves closer to the Bachchans, trying hard to show their solidarity to the Bachchan family in every way possible."And there was no way Shah Rukh was not going to be invited to the Drona premiere. Whether Salman would've come on knowing of Shah Rukh being invited, is irrelevant. Salman was not invited.He may openly express his fondness for Abhishek. But it's not that easy for anyone to forget his past behaviour with Aishwarya. Also he isn't exactly a chum of Drona's heroine Priyanka Chopra either, " says a source close to the Bachchans.In fact everyone from the gregarious Karan Johar to the ultra-reclusive Sanjay Leela Bhansali to the hardly-ever-seen Sushmita Sen showed up for this, the most crucial release.And why not? The Bachchans personally invited all their guests. Aishwarya...

Another Try for a Windows Phone, but It’s Still Clunky

If you’ve never heard of a Windows Mobile phone, or never particularly cared what kind of software runs on your phone, prepare yourself. In the coming months, Microsoft will release a steady drumbeat of ads intended to make you want a device powered by its software. Related Should you care? Probably. Should you make a Windows phone your priority? Not necessarily. If you already have a phone that runs Windows Mobile and want to upgrade, the new 6.5 version will improve your life slightly. Otherwise, other mobile phones are probably a better bet. Windows phones have been around for years, mostly competing with BlackBerrys for the allegiance of business users. But while BlackBerry crossed over into the consumer realm with more user-friendly phones, Windows Mobile remained in its corporate cube, because of devices that could be so frustrating to use that few people would choose one without a corporate mandate. For much of the last year, Microsoft has been saying that its ...
