Siddharth Mallya spotted with Sophie Choudhary : Deepika Padukone needn’t worry. Her boyfriend Siddharth Mallya hasn’t got a roving eye even though he was recently spotted with Sophie Choudhary. Siddharth and Sophie were guests at the Arctic Vodka bash held recently. Sophie knows Sid’s father well and therefore is quite paly with the young dude himself.

Katrina Kaif is boring in latest slice ad: Arshad Warsi : Her legion of loyal fans swear by her beauty, but Arshad Warsi finds Katrina Kaif pakao (boring). The actor certainly doesn’t seem to approve of Katrina in her latest ad for the fruit drink Slice. “How pakao is Katrina in the Slice ad, kairi pakadti hai aur vo aam ban jata hai... Angoor do toh shayad Wine banjayegi...” Arshad joked on his Twitter page. It’s clear that Arshad is trying to show his sense of humour here but how many people will be amused by it is an open question. Meanwhile, the actor will next be seen doing comedy in Double Dhamaal.

Rajinikanth romancing with Rekha , Vidya and Deepika!: If Endhiran left us with dropped jaws because of its Rajini mania, Rana promises a thrice over treat for Rajinikanth’s fans. The film will have the south mega star playing three roles and obviously there will be three leading ladies opposite him. From the day the project was announced, speculation has been rife as to who will bag the coveted parts. Rekha was the first to be named. Deepika Padukone was too busy to commit to the project initially, but walked out of Housefull sequel to take out dates for Rajinikanth. For the third lady, several names were being touted, including the likes of Katrina Kaif and Asin . But guess what? It’s Vidya Balan who’s learnt to have clinched the role. The reason for the choice of actresses could be that all three are originally from the south and therefore will have no problem with dialogues. The movie, to be directed by KS Ravi Kumar, will apparently have Rajini playing an old man, a middle-age...

Amitabh Bachchan ’s 'Boodha' with Five bollywood beauties!: Puri Jagannath’s film Boodha (Oldie) starring Amitabh Bachchan is going to feature five pretty actresses. The actresses signed up for the film include Minissha Lamba , Neha Sharma , Sonal Chauhan , Raveena Tandon and Hema Malini . Of the five, Big B has worked only with Raveena and Hema in the past. The movie will also mark the comeback of Raveena to the big screen. She’s been away from the limelight ever since she married Anil Thadani. Boodha is reportedly a comedy film also starring Sonu Sood. It tells the story of a young man who feels as young as a 25-year-old. For his role Big B will reportedly dye his hair and his beard. Puri Jagannath, the film’s director, recently said that Big B is “going totally psychedelic” for his role in the film. Can’t wait to see the 68-year-old mega star playing a dude.

Shahrukh Khan convinced 'Dabangg' director?: Abhinav Kashyap’s ouster from Dabangg sequel is being met with a lot of speculation. Buzz is that he has switched loyalty to Shahrukh Khan. Arbaaz Khan has confirmed that Kashyap won’t direct Dabangg sequel due to “personal and professional reasons” but never went on to clarify what those reasons are. Kashyap’s ambivalence towards directing the sequel was rooted first and foremost in the fact that he had his differences with Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan during and after the making of the film. On top of it came a lucrative directing offer from none other than Shahrukh Khan. SRK had approached Kashyap with an offer to direct an entertainer for him. But rather than succumbing to the offer at first temptation, Kashyap, we hear, had opted to stick with Salman and Arbaaz for Dabangg 2 because he is attached to his debut film. Alas, Arbaaz did not offer him a good paycheque. Reportedly, he was being paid the same amount he got for Dabang...

Arbaaz Khan decides to direct 'Dabangg' 2: Director Abhinav Kashyap cocktailed an entertaining mix of realism and Bollywood masala in his debut film Dabangg which broke box office records. Alas, he’s been axed from the film’s sequel. Arbaaz Khan, the producer of Dabangg, has decided to hold the directorial reins himself in Dabangg 2, starring Salman Khan (who else?) in the lead role. Arbaaz confirmed this on his twitter page. “Hey guys it true, I will be directing the sequel of Dabangg. Abhinav for some personal and professional reasons opted out,” Arbaaz wrote. Arbaaz went on to add that the shooting of the film will not start before January 2012. “Scripting has already started, the filming starts by early January. Start sound, camera , action :)” We wonder if Dabangg sequel will have the same raw energy without Kashyap! But Arbaaz seems confident. “Inshallah Dabangg 2 will live up to all the expectations and be a huge blockbuster because of you all. God bless .Allah hafiz....

Akshay Kumar , Sonakshi Sinha ' Joker ' song shoot enjoys with sadhus: Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha shot with real sadhus for their song in the movie Joker. The song was being shot by Farah Khan and hubby Shirish Kunder in Chandigarh when the duo spotted a procession of sadhus passing by on the day of Mahashivratri. Immediately the duo hit upon the idea of having the sadhus shoot with Akshay and Sonakshi for the song. The holy men, known to renounce the things and ways of the world, were initially reluctant to shoot for the film, but when Farah persuaded them that they were required for just one shot, they agreed. So kicked was Kunder by this little cameo by the sadhus that he also made the extras on the sets dress up like sadhus. More than anything, Akshay and Sonakshi enjoyed the company of the sadhus, as is evident from this pic.
