Boney Kapoor is definitely an motivated man.The filmmaker is now preparation to rope in both Kareena Kapoor as well as Shahid Kapoor to come and do a photoshoot to promote the film Milenge Milenge which was trapped because there were no buyers and then because Shahid and Kareena had stopped dating and also refused to give dates.

The producer is also convicing the two ex lovers to come and smile and laugh and do romantic poses, not just before the still camera but before the media as well.Hmm… Sounds very determined. From what we know Kareena Kapoor, Boney surely is going to have a very tough time.

But then there are days when you do everything right. And sometimes friends listen!

Shahid Kapoor brings Big B nostalgia back

Shahid Kapoor does in ‘Chance Pe Dance’ what Amitabh Bachchan did in ‘Yaarana,’ on his way to becoming a renowned singer in the film, and with much of the same dexterity!At the start of the recently released theatrical trailer of Chance Pe Dance, Kapoor is heard mouthing the tongue twister “Kaccha Papad Pakka Papad” like a pro.In the film, Kapoor plays a struggling actor determined to make it big in Bollywood. So along with his daily physical exercise regimen he is also seen doing elocution and pronunciation exercises.

Actors mouth tongue twisters to get their pronunciation right. Shahid uses the technique religiously every morning before arriving on set, says a source from the Chance Pe Dance unit.Considering the toungue twisters that Shahid had to mouth in Kaminey because of his character’s lisp, you would imagine Shahid didn’t need any more practice. If you can say “Favere favere iff manhoof ka chehera dekho to raat tak mayyat pakki famjho” then you have been there, done that. Not so for the perfectionist ‘Fahid!’

Shahid is currently in Bangkok filming for Yashraj Films’ production, Friends N Co. (Working title), directed by Prameet Sethi and featuring Anushka Sharma as co-star. He says he will be back to Mumbai in mid December to promote Chance Pe Dance from end December. The film is due in theaters on January 15.

Shahid Kapoor is all set to do an Aamir Khan

Choreographer Ahmad Khan is back from the US after months’ shooting for a song with his best-friend Shahid Kapoor. And Ahmad just can’t stop singing his star-pal’s praises for the generosity Shahid showed in the US. The actor actually made sure Ahmad Khan’s kids got a long-cherished dream to come true. Says Ahmad fondly, “I had been promising my two sons Azaan and Subhan a trip to Disneyland for months. Earlier when we shot in the US for another Yashraj Film Bachna Ae Haseenon I kept hoping there would be time. But I couldn’t manage to get away. But this time, Shahid made sure it happened.”

Apparently Shahid not only ensured that Ahmad wrapped up his work as quickly as possible he made all the arrangements for Ahmad his wife Saira and two sons to take off for Disneyland.“And why not?” says Ahmad defensively. “Shahid and I are childhood friends. Before my mother held my sons Shahid took them in his arms. So it’s perfectly natural for him to look out for me and my family.”Recalling the fabulous experience Ahmed says, “Out of the one month I spent in the US only 12 days were devoted to shooting the song. It wasn’t even a dance song. It was a concept number showing the hero and his friends splurging and binging all over the US. We shot at casinos and at various pleasure and tourist spots in Philadelphia, Orlando, New York, New Jersey and Chicago.”

Shahid will now be seen in Ahmad Khan’s directorial project Pathshala. “In a 2-hour long film Shahid is there for an hour. So he’s there for 55 minutes. His role is like Aamir Khan’s in Taare Zameen Par. He comes in mid-way and yes, he’s the teacher. Both Shahid and I have decided to focus on the kids in the marketing rather than on Shahid.”

Shahid not too happy about his vegetarian ways!

Bollywood’s much-celebrated vegetarian Shahid Kapur doesn’t seem very happy for being the way he is! The actor recently revealed that he is not too happy with the limited variety of food that he gets whenever he is out of India, because he is a staunch vegetarian.A few months back, Shahid was voted as the ‘Sexiest Vegetarian in Asia’ in a poll conducted by PETA.And now, the actor is a feeling a bit edgy as he is all set to fly to Bangkok for a shooting schedule, since he is worried about the fact that he won’t get sufficient variety of veg food there.

The actor revealed that he also had a tough time for the same reason in the US where he stayed for 40 days last month while shooting for the same film. A friend of Shahid says, “Shahid serves non-vegetarian food to his friends whenever he has a party at home but himself is a staunch vegetarian. He doesn’t even eat eggs.”“Many hotels abroad do not have much to offer as far as vegetarian food is concerned.

When he was in the US last month, his man Friday had to especially instruct the chefs in the hotel what he likes and dislikes so that they could accordingly cook for him. A similar thing might happen in Bangkok,” adds Shahid’s friend.

Kareena-Shahid no longer in touch

When Kareena Kapoor dated Shahid Kapur, she boldly accepted and like other actresses she did not name their relationship as friendship and now that she has broken up with him and dating Saif Ali Khan, she declared the world that she is in love with Saif. She is a woman who speaks her mind out and never feels hesitate to share her feelings to the world.

But when news is doing the rounds that Shahid Kapur’s father Pankaj Kapur is penning a script keeping Kareena Kapoor in mind, Bebo openly declared that she is no more in touch with Shahid. But added that in the past she had shared a wonderful relationship with Shahid and not in touch with him now. She also said that though they drifted apart but they could wish each other well. She always makes sure that she asks him about his well-being.

Kareena cuts off with Shahid personally but professionally she wished to link up with him. Commenting in acting on Pankaj Kapur’s script, she said, “If they have a good script and a good role and ask me to do it, I see no reason why I shouldn’t.”

Shahid Kapoor wants link up with Rani

What is cooking between Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee ? Nothing. Shahid has been linked with his co-stars from Amrita Rao to Vidya Balan to Priyanka Chopra , so, he is surprised with the indifferent attitude of the rumourmongers this time. He just can’t believe that he has not been linked to Rani, his co-star in Dil Bole Hadippa.

Shahid said that both he and Rani are amused with the fact that the media has not linked them in spite of their on-screen romance. Meanwhile, he had fun working with her. He said that it was great to play her hero, considering that he acted with her in an ad years ago when she was already a big star.Besides Dil Bole Hadippa, produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Anurag Singh, Shahid has a string of films on hand.

Chance De Dance with Genelia D’Souza is scheduled for release in November and then Paathshala will follow. He is currently shooting for another Yash Raj film directed by Parmeet Sethi and then he will take up his father’s film. Watch out for more from Shahid. It’s just the beginning!

Shahid Kapoor’s big Risk

With movie theatres in Mumbai remaining shut on Sunday, Shahid Kapoor’s plan to mingle with his fans had gone for a toss. However, the actor has made it up as he has hit the ticket counters when they reopened post the swine flu panic in the city. Speaking about the rave reviews of the film, he says, “The reaction from the audience has been amazing and I want to interact with them. People have given me great reviews and I feel very lucky and happy that my hard work has been noticed,” he says. But wasn’t he apprehensive to sign this pulp genre film which has a very quirky plot? Such films either dazzle audiences or get completely rejected.

It was a gamble definitely as such films either shock people or they reject it but I’m happy that the risk has paid off well. I really had to get out of my comfort zone and break my boy-next-door image. The difference in my look is also great. I’m really happy that Vishal trusted me with the film,” he says. On the industry front, Saif Ali Khan in an interview had said he wants to patch up with Shahid. He also went back on his comment that he was offered Kaminey before Shahid. Is Shahid looking to bury the hatchet too? I never started anything with him. I learnt that he had commented to a paper that he was offered the film first and now he has clarified that he wasn’t. I really appreciate that he clarified. It really takes a lot to clarify oneself after saying something different,” he ends.

Saif’s comment on Kaminey ‘I don’t want to sound false, but now I realise that in the past I might have made an irresponsible comment of having been offered a role in Kaminey. But the fact is that I was not. Vishal (Bhardwaj) had just mentioned the film to me.’

What makes Shahid-Priyanka a hot pair?

The lead pair of Kaminey are like cats in the cradle. There is something special about the duo that connects to the audience naturally. The chemistry they share is incredible – looks like real. We are talking about the hot and happening pair Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. No wonder Kaminey has made a great opening.

Shahid and Priyanka get along like a house on fire. They know how to keep their film in the news and managed to keep their real and reel love story in suspense till its release.As the audience watches the film, this question keep popping up – are they or aren’t they in love in real life? Curiosity turns into thrill.

They have denied dating each other though they have been spotted together at hot spots many a time. But they can’t deny the fact that they look great together on screen. They look great together off screen too. This has made them a hot pair, perhaps the hottest pair in Bollywood today

Shahid accepts Saif Ali Khan’s apology

Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan seem to be burying all the hatchet and moving closer toe ending their unofficial Cold War. A few days back Saif had apologies to Shahid over his claims that he was the first choice for the movie Kaminey and director Vishal Bhardwaj had cast Shahid because he had turned down the film.

In an interview to a television channel Shahid had said that he appreciated Saif’s apology. Trying to sound politically correct the Kaminey star added that he had always believed that Saif was a very talented actor who had delivered a brilliant with his performance in Vishal’s earlier movie Omkara.

Rani-Shahid’s jodi in trouble

Shahid Kapur failed to connect his kismat with Vidya Balan because of age difference and audience did not acknowledge their on-screen jodi as Vidya looked aged than Shahid. Now he is again facing the same problem with Rani Mukherjee. Though Rani has shed her extra flab, her pairing with Shahid is not getting good response in ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’.

In acting, age, experience and success, Rani is much senior to Shahid and all those factors are coming into forefront when their jodi is considered. Rani Mukherjee had tried her level best to balance the vast difference of age between her and Shahid by months long of rigorous training under a well known trainer Satyajit Chaurasia who helped Aamir to build up his ‘Ghajini’ physique.

The promo of Yash Raj’s ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’ is on and both Rani and Shahid are sizzling on-screen. Let’s hope audience ignores their age difference and consider the hard work that both the actors put up from their sides.

Will Kaminey survive swine flu threat?

The much-hyped film Kaminey starring Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra is facing a different kind of problem in the form of swine flu. With the death toll due to the pandemic touching 19 in the country, the Maharashtra Government has banned the screening of films in Mumbai and Pune for three days. That means Kaminey will be released in these cities only on 17th August.

Kaminey, which is releasing tomorrow, on 14th August, has been delayed by three days in Mumbai and Pune but it will be released as scheduled in the rest of the country. Director Vishal Bhardwaj said that the ban is only in the said cities. Shahid also said that they are not sure if the government would allow the screening of the film after three days.

Well, Kaminey opening will surely be affected by swine flu. In fact, it will be badly affected if the people stay away from public places like theatres and multiplexes due to the flu scare. Let’s wait and watch whether it will survive swine flu threat!

Shahid-Priyanka kiss leaked for good

Having being in Bollywood for a few years now, Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra seem to have learnt the art of marketing. Just a few days before the release of Kaminey, the news broke out that Priyanka allowed Shahid to kiss her for a special scene.As expected, the duo has neither admitted nor denied the news.

They know the fact ‘the more the hype around the film, the better,’ as it will help sell more tickets. So, Shahid-Priyanka kiss was leaked for good and at the right time. After all no publicity is bad publicity.It was earlier reported that Priyanka was reluctant to lip-lock with Shahid in Kaminey, as she was not informed in advance.

However, she realised the need for kiss after director Vishal Bharadwaj made her to see the lovemaking scene that looked dry without a kiss. Well, Kaminey is all set for release this Friday, 14th August. Shahid plays a double role in it. Watch out guys!

Shahid’s all praise for Saif-Kareena

Nearly two years after his official breakup, Shahid Kapoor keeps getting quizzed about ex-girlfriend Kareena Kapoor. While Bebo and Saif have since then become one of the most talked about couples in town, Shahid too has been in the news for his alleged link-ups.But it’s impossible for Shahid to escape questions about Kareena. Now whatever be his off screen equation with her, Shahid seems to have made it a point to talk positively about his ex in front of the media.At a recent event when Shahid was asked about his favourite co-star – Kapoor diplomatically mentioned all his heroines including Kareena. “Kareena and I had great chemistry in Jab We Met”.

Shahid also had words of praise for Saif Ali Khan. When asked to compare Kaminey and Omkara, Shahid said, “Kaminey is Vishal’s first out-and-out commercial film. But Omkara was phenomenal and Saif was fantastic in the film.” Kapoor made it a point to single out Saif’s performance in the film.According to a recent report, Saif too has gone on record saying that he doesn’t see Love Aaj Kal and Kaminey as rival releases. And is in mood of playing up his recent claim that Kaminey was offered to him before Shahid.

We don’t know whether this admiration is for real but it is certainly a smart move by him to avoid any controversy.

Saif Ali Khan wants peace with Shahid Kapoor

Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor were never friends and after Kareena Kapoor broke up with Shahid and fell for Saif there was no question of friendship any more. But with his home production Love Aaj Kal having done well Saif wants to bury the hatchet with Shahid.

The actor turned producer said that Love Aaj Kal had already done well and he was not competing with Shahid’s Kaminey.The Chhote Nawab praised Shahid and said he had heard only good things about Shahid from ladylove Kareena and many others. Calling Shahid as an immensely talented actor Saif added that one cannot benefit from someone else’s failure.

It may be recalled that Saif had angered Vishal Bhardwaj when he had claimed that Kaminey was offered to him and he had turned it down.

Shahid Kapoor runs away from Priyanka Chopra

Rumours are rife that Shahid Kapoor is leaving his sprawling apartment in Raj Classic as he is tired of being linked with neighbour and co-star Priyanka Chopra. Sources close to the actor said, Shahid has been checking out places for a long time now, and has fallen in love with a four bedroom apartment in Juhu, he is tired of the link-up stories with Priyanka and wants to put that all behind him now.

Shahid’s 14th floor apartment in Raj Classic is the envy of many, known as one of the most influential buildings in the city, his father Pankaj Kapoor is just a floor below him and mother Neelima Azam is a couple of blocks away.When we quizzed Shahid in a recent interview, he laughed off the rumours of the relationship saying, “Any co-star or girl I speak to, the media goes on to link me with them.

Priyanka is a good friend and a great co-star, nothing more than that.He also takes his apartment to be the greatest asset in his life and to know that the actor is making a getaway from all things Piggy Chops will obviously be something to report, we mean look out for.

Shahid Kapoor and Vishal almost have a fist fight

All is not going well on the sets of Kaminey. If insiders are to be believed Shahid Kapoor and director Vishal Bhardwaj had a heated argument which almost went to blows. Shahid has been behaving like a superstar in the movie and throwing tantrums too often. Shahid’s interference with the promotion did not go down well with Vishal and he took a few digs at the actor.Vishal has called in Shahid to his office to discuss and settle the issue regarding the film’s promotion. An heated argument broke out between the two and both the men started screaming and then grabbed each other’s collars.

Bhardwaj’s office assistants had to intervene and separate the two men as neither of them was in a mood to back down.A source in the production crew had said that Shahid is trying to act like as if he were a Shahrukh or a Aamir.Vishal was upset with him as he he was trying to behave like a perfectionist actor on the sets. The movie starring Priyanka Chopra will have Shahid doing a double role for the first time in his career.The crew members are worried as the ego between the two men might hamper the film’s promotion.

Shahid Kapoor exhibits his respect for elders

The chocolate boy Shahid Kapoor may be evolving an actor in bollywood industry with good offers lined up but he hasn’t forgotten the moral values he received during his childhood. And we can see him, the respect he holds for elders. A small impromptu press conference was called for his upcoming film ‘Kaminey’. But the number of journalists who came were in big numbers then expected such that there was no space on the set to accommodate them as the shoot was still on. So, it was decided the conference be conducted in his van.

Some chairs were put in the van and one especially for the actor by his staff member. But again when the journalists entered in there were not enough chairs for everyone. So, the actor offered his chair and sat down on the floor. He also made a request with other junior journalist to vacate the chairs and settle down on the floor so that the senior journalists can be seated comfortably.

Once everyone had settled, for the next hour he answered all the questions cheerfully.

Shahid Kapoor’s shirtless saga

At a time when the likes of John Abraham and Neil Nitin Mukesh are going full-monty in front of the camera, there are actors like Shahid Kapur who restrict themselves to shirtless appearances only.In his forthcoming film Kaminey, Shahid can be spotted running shirtless in one of the scenes. When asked if he felt comfortable taking off his shirt for the first time, he says, “Yes, I think I am quite comfortable now. The demand of the character is such, so I have gone shirtless, but if I had to do the same role a few years ago, I would not have been so comfortable. It would have been difficult for me to take off my shirt then. No I think I am ok with it.”

Shahid Kapur is in a double role in the film and the story revolves around identical twins, who are born and brought up in slums in Mumbai. In the film they are shown in their twenties chasing their dreams to become big one day. They struggle for a life of prosperity and dignity is the theme of the film.Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, this film has generated a lot of publicity for reasons more than one. Besides his shirtless appearance, Shahid Kapoor stammers in one role and lisps in other. When asked about his two different characters, he says that it was very difficult for him because he had to remember every time for which role he had to stammer and for which he had to lisp.

Says he, “I enjoyed doing it because it was a challenging role for me. It was something very new. Everyday I had to remember whether I had to stammer or lisp because at the same location we spent one day shooting for the character who stammers and on the other day for the character who lisps. So it was really a good fun. I thoroughly enjoyed playing both the characters.”
