Anil Kapoor to share screen with Shahid Kapoor

After 'Pukar' and 'Lajja', Anil Kapoor has joined hands with filmmaker Raj Kumar Santoshi again. Not only will he play the lead in the movie, Anil will also associate with the project as a producer.

News is that Santoshi is coming up with a film that will be an adaptation of Asghar Wajahat's play 'Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhiya Woh Jamiya Nahin'. While things are still getting finalized, grapevines have it that there will be yet another Kapoor on board. No, not Anil's beti Sonam - but her 'Mausam' co-star, Shahid Kapoor. Talks are that if things fall in place then Sasha will play another lead in the untitled project.

 Anil Kapoor was greatly impressed with Shahid during the 'Mausam' days. Besides, he has high regards for Shahid's father, actor-director Pankaj Kapur. So looks like these things helped to bring the actors together for this new venture

Shahid to reprise Shammi, Dev

The new year also means the awards season will soon begin. And given the multitude of Bollywood legends who passed away this year, one can expect to see a plethora of tributes being paid to the departed greats. And while the obvious choice to pay a tribute to Shammi Kapoor would have been his grand nephew, Ranbir, it appears that it would be Shahid Kapoor who will be grooving to Shammi’s tunes now.

“Both Shahid and Ranbir are scheduled to perform at the awards, although for separate acts. While Shahid is working on the tribute to Shammi Kapoor, Ranbir is yet to confirm the details of his act,” says a spokesperson for the channel organising the awards show.

In what is a double whammy for Shahid, he could be paying a tribute to Dev Anand as well at another awards soiree. “It’s a privilege to pay homage to such greats like Dev saab and Shammiji. They are both made invaluable contributions to Indian cinema, and if I can even recreate a fraction of their magic, I’d consider it an accomplishment,” gushed Shahid.

Shahid Sonam KApoor once again?

Punit Malhotra, who was chalking out plans for his next venture, was all geared up to repeat the formula which worked for his directorial debut, I Hate Luv Storys. However, we hear that his plans to cast Sonam Kapoor opposite Imran Khan for the Karan Johar production are not likely to materialise. A friend of the director's revealed to Mumbai Mirror that Malhotra is back to square one as far as casting is concerned, as Imran has opted out. 

According to the director's friend, Imran wants to focus on his other films, as the dates for Malhotra's project would come into conflict with his other commitments. The director's friend explained, "After the success of I Hate Luv Storys, Punit was extremely keen to cast Imran and Sonam, as he is very close to them. Punit had spoken about the film to the media. In fact, Dharma Productions were about to announce the film. But then, Imran informed Punit and Karan that he would not be able to do the film, citing date issues. However, Punit was very understanding about Imran's decision."

Imran's decision to pull out, however, has come as a major surprise to many in the industry, since I Hate Luv Storys was Imran's first major hit after his debut film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. While the actor has opted out of this project, Imran's friend told Mumbai Mirror, "Despite these developments, Imran and Punit are scheduled to do a film together, but later. Imran is currently dedicating his time to Vishal Bharadwaj's film Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola, which goes on floors very soon."

Apparently, Shahid Kapoor is being considered to replace Imran in the film. "If all goes well, this will be Shahid's first film with Dharma Productions, after he had left Kaal at the last minute," added Malhotra's friend.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra To Chose Between Ranbir And Shahid For His Next

Ranbir Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor are being considered to star in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's next film called 'Chithiyaan'. However, only one of them will end it up grabbing the lead role in Vidhu's film.

The film is going to be a love triangle and Sharman Joshi has already been finalized as a second lead of the film.

If sources are to be believed then Chopra met Ranbir in Los Angeles for the narration of the script, but Shahid Kapoor has been seen at Vidhu's office often in the near past and he is in talks for the same role.

A source close to the filmmaker says, "The casting is still in process. It's a two-hero film. Sharman Joshi is definitely playing one of the two heroes. Chopra decided to sign him after watching the rushes of Ferrai Ki Sawaari. While he is very keen on casting Ranbir and has met him a few times, Shahid who is very eager to work with the producer of the Munnabhai series and 3 Idiots has been sending him feelers."

When contacted, the spokesperson of Chopra's production company confirmed the reports saying, "The talks are on with both the Kapoor lads. We will find out soon who bags the role."

Shahid Kapoor in, Kareena Kapoor out?

Shahid Kapoor in, Kareena Kapoor out?

Buzz is that Shahid Kapoor will play the second male lead in the sequel of 'Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai' while Kareena Kapoor is no more a part of the project.

The only casting certain about Ekta Kapoor's sequel to Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai is Akshay Kumar. While other members of the cast have to be finalized, there is a strong buzz that Kareena Kapoor who has earlier touted to be the female lead of the film will no longer be a part of the project. And Kareena Kapoor's ex-love Shahid Kapoor might just join the cast as the second male lead.

However Kareena's exit has got nothing to do with Shahid Kapoor being considered for the film. A source close to the film reveals, " Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai 2 is not a solo-hero project but has two male leads like the first part. While Akshay Kumar is confirmed to play the character loosely modeled on the lines of underworld gangster Dawood Ibrahim, there is a second male lead who challenges Akshay in the film". Names like Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh were being considered for the part though there's more probability of the former signing the dotted lines.

For the female lead however, Kareena Kapoor's name never surfaced after the initial hoopla. "Also there are two female leads in the film", adds the source but Bebo's chance of being any one of them seems bleak. Director Milan Luthria has also put speculations to rest that he is casting his Dirty Picture heroine Vidya Balan as the second female lead citing the reason that the character doesn't suit her.

November 27, 2011, (Sawf News) - Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra started filming the third schedule of Kunal Kohli's yet to be titled romance drama in Mumbai on Sunday, November 27, 2011.

"Early morning shift starting my last leg for @kunalkohli the man loves these early shifts n how I hate em Morning all time to get me some Coffee n some progressive house to KICK myself out of slumber .... Oh I'm so not a morning person !!!!!!!! Till later .. Keep it real u all" Shahid wrote at 7am on Sunday, November 27.

The new schedule will stretch to the first week of January, says Kunal Kohli, who is also the producer of the film.

The film additionally stars Neha Sharma who has a significant role that has been kept under wraps by Kohli.

Penned by Kohli, the film is a love story set in three time periods - 1910, 1960 and 2012. Its a story about soulmates and how one always finds a soulmate.

Shahid and Priyanka will have makeover suitable to the different eras shown in the film's story. Even cities will be seen in the look appropriate to each era, says Kohli.

Filming began on May 25 in Mumbai. The second schedule was in London; it wrapped on August 12, completing 65% of the film.

Sajid and Wajid have scored the music for the film, teaming up with Prasoon Joshi for the first time.

"Music of our films is really going to be a chart buster," says Kohli.
The film will have 5 to 6 tracks and dance sequences, with Shahid doing dance moves he has never done before, Kohli adds.

Kohli refutes that his film is titled Teri Meri Kahani. He says this was a working title given to the film before getting filming permission in London.
The film will bow in theaters on June 22, 2012.

Shahid Kapoor to dance with Shakira?

Shahid Kapoor to dance with Shakira?

Buzz is, actor Hrithik Roshan has opted out of the birthday bash of industrialist KP Singh in Udaipur, where he was slated to perform with international pop diva Shakira. The reason apparently being the star’sslip disc problem which aggravated recently.

“Hrithik had agreed to dance alongside Shakira for the event, but his back is giving him too much trouble these days,” says a source close to him.

It was during the final stages that a reluctant Hrithik decided to opt out of the function because he felt that he wont be able to sustain himself on stage for long.

“The contract required him to dance. If it had required him to go onto the stage for a brief while or do a small skit, he would have done it. But they wanted a full fledged performance from him. He ultimately had to say no to them,”says the source.

The organisers are apparently planning to get actor Shahid Kapoor to step into Hrithik’s shoes the last moment,but it seems that Shahid too might not be able to make it.

“Shakira wanted to shake a leg with an Indian actor, and that is why this mad scramble to get somebody on board. But it seems it is not possible to get a male actor on the stage.. we will manage something for sure,”says a source in the organising committee.

Is Prakash Jha’s first film with Shahid Kapoor based on corruption?

Is Prakash Jha’s first film with Shahid Kapoor based on corruption?

While promoting Aarakshan, the filmmaker said he was fascinated by the then ongoing corruption crusade in the country. And it makes us believe that’s the burning issue of his next social drama

According to gossipmongers, Prakash Jha, the man responsible for most of Bollywood’s issue-based films, is laying the groundwork for his next project. Most probably the project will be called Satyagraha and have Shahid Kapoor as the lead actor. Apparently, the filmmaker has sent out feelers to the Mausam actor about working together. That’s all we know for now, officially. But our speculative minds suggest that Jha is probably writing a script inspired from the recent corruption drama that occurred in the country. During the promotions of Aarakshan, Jha made a passing comment on corruption. When asked if there was any burning issue he would like to make a film on, the director replied, “The issue of corruption has taken people’s imagination. So, definitely one sees what, how and why things are happening. Why did Baba Ramdev jump the podium? It is very interesting for me to observe. So maybe, eventually, if equations change, I will probably come up with a story.” If you add to that the fact that Anna Hazare, like Mahatma Gandhi, opted for non-violence or Satyagraha to battle out corruption, we are certain that our theory is more than guesswork. Since the start of his career, Jha has woven several social dramas: Aarakshan was about caste-based reservation systerm in India,Raajneeti was about dynastic politics, and Apaharan and Gangajaal were about corruption in politics and in the police force of Bihar. It looks like Jha’s fixation with social issues will not end anytime soon. We don’t mind it, as long as it isn’t another Aarakshan!

Shahid to Dance with Shakira Instead of Hrithik?

Daijiworld Media Network – Entertainment Mumbai, Nov 10: Now since Mexican pop-star Shakira has requested to share the stage with an Indian actor for industrialist K P Singh’s birthday bash in Udaipur, the organizer’s first choice was Hrithik Roshan. However, due to his slip disc problem, the actor backed out. It is learnt that the organizers are now planning to approach Shahid Kapoor to step in to Hrithik’s shoes. But since the offer is being made at the last moment, it is uncertain if Shahid will accept the offer. A source close to Hrithik said, “Hrithik had agreed to dance alongside Shakira for the event, but his back is giving him too much trouble these days.” It was only during the final stages that Hrithik decided to opt out of the event as he felt that he would not be able to sustain himself on stage for long. “The contract required him to dance. If it had required him to go onto the stage for a brief while or do a small skit, he would have done it. But they wanted a full fledged performance from him.

Shahid Kapoor enjoys in Spain

Shahid Kapoor is having a blast in Spain right now. Says a source close to the actor, "Shahid was in Madrid and Barcelona.

Contrary to reports, Shahid's backpacking itinery doesn't include Greece. Shahid's friends in India know about his activities through his phone status messages. Right now it says he has just returned "from a 14-hour party and is dropping dead". One can see that Sasha is really having a blast with his all-guy gang!" Does this mean it's only stag parties for him post his parting of ways with with Bipasha Basu?

'Extremely distasteful story in mirror today ...some journalists need to really understand where to draw the line between imagination and Reality. Sad. Unfair. Makes me angry,' he tweeted.

Shahid, who was seen arriving hand-in-hand with Anushka at the party, added: 'If nothing else they need to respect the dignity of a girl !!!!! I usually don't react to any of these stories but this one was just a bit much.'

Why is Shahid Kapoor doing ‘Knight And Day’ remake?

Why is Shahid Kapoor doing ‘Knight And Day’ remake?

After the brief impersonation of Tom Cruise in Top Gunfor Mausam, Shahid is supposed to lead the official remake of the Hollywood superstar’s last film. We wonder if it’s really that big a deal!

A tabloid reported that Shahid Kapoor has grabbed the official remake of Tom Cruise’s last action drama Knight And Day. Siddharth Anand, the director of the box-office disaster Anjaana Anjaani, will be at the helm of the Hindi remake for the original producers Fox Studios. However, it won’t be an exact copy of the Tom Cruise-Cameron Diaz romance-action flick. It will be adapted to suit the sensibilities of the Indian audience. While our star actor and his campwallahs can jump with joy with the big news, we don’t really think it is great news. Actually, we don’t mind saying that it’s a tad too desperate for Sasha and the Hindi filmmakers to attempt a remake of the average film Knight And Day. And we have our reasons for it.

- While Hollywood star Tom and Shahid are on the same plane as far their height goes, our Bollywood hero is far from being an action man- an image associated with Tom Cruise.
- Knight And Day wasn’t really a blockbuster like Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible series and neither was it his finest work for us to jump on it

- And last, but the most important reason is this: why would the Indian audience want to watch a very recent release (2010) that was in any case dubbed in several local languages.
So do you get the point we are trying to make? Moreover, it seems Bollywood is running low on originality. After regional remakes and sequels we now have to deal with official remakes!

Shahid Kapoor to romance Kangna Ranaut

Tanu Weds Manu, a film that turned out to be one of the most surprising hits of the year, did not just help director Anand Rai score the first hit of his career but also helped lead actors Kangna Ranautand Madhavan get their first major solo hits.

However, for the sequel, director Anand Rai unlike other film makers, is in no mood to stick to his winning cast. Reportedlty, Shahid Kapoor might be the one romancing Kangna in the project. Madhavan, who played Manu in the film will no longer be a part of the sequel.

Mausam earns Rs 22 crore over weekend

Mausam earns Rs 22 crore over weekend

Shahid Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor starrer Mausam, a hardcore romantic drama received mixed reviews, but it had a good start - the film has earned Rs 22 crore in the opening weekend.

Pankaj Kapoor's directorial debut, the film tracks the story of a couple forced to stay apart by socio-political situations.

and how after 10 years of separation they reunite and live happily after.


Made at a budget of Rs 35 crore, Mausam was released across 1,900 screens and earned Rs 22 crore over three days - Friday, Saturday and Sunday. People liked Shahid's performance and the story, but they found the film lengthy.


"The weekend has been good. We had 90 percent occupancy although it dropped on Monday. People are liking the content but the duration of the film is very long which acts as a deterrent," Puneet Sahay, senior manager for programming and operations at Spice Cinemas told IANS.


Some film critics have praised it, others have found the film an average one. Despite the average reviews, the film has got a decent response, says Munish Sharma of Satyam Cinemas.


"Although Mausam hasn't got a bumper start, the response to the film has been decent. The average reviews don't seem to have affected it as the response at the box-office has been good. Both Shahid and Sonam's acting is being appreciated," said Sharma.


Yogesh Raizada, corporate head (Cinemas) of Wave Cinemas, feels that the film lacks flow. "The film goes criss-cross. It lacks flow. Moreover its 2.45 hour duration makes it a tough watch although both Shahid and Sonam have played their parts nicely. The film has received a decent response in the NCR as both the actors have a good fan following, it failed to impress people in Uttar Pradesh," said Raizada.
