Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar’s war on small screen?



The cold war between the two superstars is nowhere close to an end. In fact, it just got worse on the sets of a reality show

A little birdie tells us that Bollywood Actor Akshay Kumar got upset during the final episode of a TV dance reality show, when a dance group danced to the tunes of a song from Bollywood Celebrity Shah rukh Khan’s Chennai Express! Akki was on the show to promote his film, Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara (OUATIMD) and he lost his cool when SRK’s song was played. It irked the Khiladi to an extent that he blasted everyone on the sets.

This isn’t the first time that Akki and SRK have been pitted against each other. Earlier this year, Akshay and his OUATIMD team were royally snubbed at an IPL match, where they had gone for movie promotions. If rumors are to be believed, King Khan had specially told TV channels telecasting the match to focus on the match and not Akshay and his team.

Considering the earlier incident, we wonder if SRK had a role in his song being played on a show where Akki had gone for promoting OUATIMD. Done and gone, the fact is that SRK’s Chennai Express is way ahead of Akshay’s OUATIMD. So we think that Akki should’ve just sat back and enjoyed his rival’s music instead of creating a hullabaloo for nothing…

Deepika Padukone to don a bikini again?



The leggy lass Deepika Padukone might be seen in a bikini again in Dostana 2. Though the leading lady for the sequel is not yet finalized but it seems that if the film’s shooting begins on time then Bollywood Actresses Deepika Padukone will be in. And the hottie will have an entry scene in a bikini.

Sporting a bikini shouldn’t be a problem for Deepika, who was earlier seen in a red hot two piece in Cocktail and so bikinis in Houseful.

Apparently, Tarun Mansukhani‘s script has a scene where the boys are sitting around on a beach talking about Neha (Priyanka Chopra). The topic of conversation is said to be the swimsuit she wore in the previous film, but just then, Deepika’s character makes an entry wearing an even hotter swimsuit which according to the buzz will be designed by designer Manish Malhotra.

Horror Story first look: Is it horrifying enough?



After The Conjuring had people scared out of their wits, we wonder what reaction the audience will give to Vikram Bhatt’s Horror Story. We can’t say anything about the plot but the first poster is certainly scary! The poster has a ghost sitting on a swing with head turned down. The shabby torn clothes and dirty messy hair with a drab backdrop adds to the spookiness! 

Horror Story revolves around seven youngsters who challenge each other to spend the night in a hotel, which is rumoured to be haunted. Horror Story’s hotel has a past. It was built in place of an asylum which had been mysteriously burnt down. This past continues to haunt the hotel which doesn’t have a good business owing to numerous spooky incidents. Due to this, the hotel owner is financially ruined and he jumps to his death from the terrace of his hotel.

TV actor Karan Kundra makes his Bollywood debut with this film. Other Bollywood Celebrities who will go through the horrendous night in Horror Story include Ravish Desai, Hasan Zaidi, Nishant Malkani, Sheetal Singh, Aparna Bajpai, Radhika Menon and Nandini Vaid.

Chennai Express crosses Rs 100 crore in the opening weekend



Chennai Express Bollywood Stars Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan were over joyed with their movie to cross Rs. 100 Crores in the opening weekend.

Rohit Shetty’s latest romcom has not just created history at the domestic and overseas box office by touching the magical figure in just three days, but has set new benchmarks in the trade!

That the Shahrukh Khan-Deepika Padukone starrer Chennai Express earned Rs 100 crores at the box office isn’t surprising at all. In fact, everyone has been anxiously waiting to see how soon it would enter the coveted Rs 100 crore club and whether it would break box office records of Salman Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger and Ranbir Kapoor’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (which made Rs 100 crore in just a week earlier this year). And yes, the Baadshah’s romcom has done it!

“CE has created history by crossing the Rs 100 crore mark in its opening weekend itself,” tweeted an elated Taran Adarsh. “That also makes it the fastest ever to reach this magical figure. The film was unstoppable all through the weekend. It has shattered previous records and set new benchmarks. Box office break-up: Highest paid preview movie: Rs 6.75 crore; highest opening day: Rs 33.12 crore; day two: Rs 28.05 crore; day three: Rs 32.50 crore. Collected Rs 100.42 crore nett in its opening weekend. Monstrous start!” He added: “Not just India, Rohit Shetty’s romcom fared exceptionally well overseas and has created history in USA and Canada. Collects $ 683,000 on Fri. May cross $ 700,000. Biggest Hindi opener. In Pakistan CE crossed $ 100,000 on Saturday. SUPERB!”

“Going by the way it has taken the box office in India and overseas by storm, calling this film the ‘bullet train’ would have been more apt than ‘Chennai Express‘! By doing a full blown commercial, masala style film after Om Shanti Om way back in 2007 and raking in a phenomenal response, SRK has proven to his detractors that there’s a reason why he’s called the King Khan!” said exhibitor-distributor Akshaye Rathi.

SRK’s dearest friend Farah Khan congratulated him and her discovery Deepika Padukone on the super success of their film on Twitter: “BIG HUGGG 2 @iamsrk 4 an unheard of 100 crore weekend!! Aapki express 2 superfast se bhi tez nikli! Congrats my sweets.”

We congratulate everyone associated with CE for its stupendous success and watch to see when this Express reaches its destination – and where would that be, we wonder!
