Shah Rukh and Ash sizzled on screen as a twin brother-sister jodi in ‘Josh’.Then their pairing was accepted in Aditya Chopra’s ‘Mohabbatein’ and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Devdas’ too. They really had good chemistry.But that was that. They were not supposed to act together after that.It all started when Ash’s ex boyfriend barged into the sets of ‘Chalte Chalte’ and Ash ended up being chucked out in favor of Rani Mukerji.Ash never warmed up to SRK and Rani after that. Things soured badly between Sallu and her too.She moved on happily with the Bachchans, some international films and let her chemistry work better with Hrithik Roshan. Recently Mani Ratnam wanted to cast Shahrukh in the lead role opposite Ash in his latest bilingual film ‘Ravana’ which he’s working on currently.Now after things didn’t work out for him in Raju Hirani’s ‘3 Idiots’ and Shankar’s ‘Robot’, he seemed to have some free time.Mani had then spoken to him about ‘Ravana’ and the superstar expressed interest in the projec...

A girl from down south Tamil Nadu stepped into the glam-world of Bollywood alongside Mr. perfectionist Amir Khan in Ghajini. It seems now the gorgeous lady is planning to hit all the biggies of Bollywood starting with the top three Khan’s of the tinsel town. Where she is starring opposite Bollywood’s bad boy Salman Khan in London Dreams, we have heard that she would also be seen opposite Badshah Shahrukh Khan, that too under the dream banner of Yash Raj Films. Initially it was Bollywood diva Katrina Kaif, who was going to don this role but Salman’s dushmani with Shahrukh, earned Asin this flick. It’s not the first time and first girl friend of Sallu that our Badshah didn’t wanted to work with. Previously SRK was not even interested in working with Ashwariya Rai in Chalte Chalte and it was Rani Mukherjee who benefited from this.Well, all we can say is that the stars are shining bright for Asin and she should make the most of it as it’s said, “Make hay while the sun shines.”

Vipul Shah is taking every effort to make his film London Dreams as grand as possible. While he had hired a Hollywood cinematographer to shoot his last film Namastey London to capture London like never seen before on Indian screen, this time he is going beyond the British lands to add new glitz and glimmer to London Dreams .Vipul Shah took special permission to shoot at the Blue Eiffel Tower. London Dreams would be the only film to have the Blue Eiffel Tower featured in the world. That makes Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan and Asin, the only celebrities in world to shoot at the Blue Eiffel Tower. This will be the same scene where Salman Khan kneels and proposes to Asin in the film that made news some months back. Ajay Devgan too shot before the Blue Eiffel Tower in a separate sequence. For those wondering why did Eiffel Tower go blue, France had marked the start of its six-month presidency of the European Union by lighting up the Eiffel Tower in blue with yellow stars in spirit with th...
