Very few people turn down Aamir Khan and Chitrangada Singh is one of them. The thinking actress has opted out of Aamir’s ‘Delly Belly’, saying she was not very convinced with her role in the film.  She apparently had some creative differences with the new director. She says her perspective of the movie is different from the director’s. So, after going through the detailed script, she decided to decline the offer as she was not very satisfied with her role. She, however, said that the concept was fantastic. "Though ‘Delly Belly’ has a great script, it didn`t work out for me. The director looks at the film in a certain way and I respect his decision," she added.

One Two Three' has turned out to be a success and for many in the industry it has been nothing less than a pleasant surprise.  After all not many expected an underdog comedy like 'One Two Three', which was panned unanimously by all the critics, to even sail through past the safety mark let alone turn out to be a money spinner. However, the trade figures have caught everyone by surprise with close to 20 crores coming in collections just from the Indian market. Says Tusshar Kapoor, lead star of 'One Two Three', in an exhilarated tone, "If success in India was not just good enough, it is the overseas run of the film which has been simply fantabulous. 'One Two Three' now stands as my biggest success in overseas ever while in India, too, it is second only to 'Shoot Out At Lokhandwala'." Did the film's all around success come to him as a surprise? Especially so after there were not too many kind words in the media about the film which centered on lingerie jokes. Thankfully I had seen the film a day before it's release and hence was confident about it's success regardless of critic's opinions. Of course, if I wouldn't have seen the film, I would have died as I would have believed the critics. Come on yaar, everyone out there gave a one or one and a half stars rating, let aside a 2 star rating", says Tusshar.

2005 Miss India contestant Kaveri Jha has every right to be proud of her god-gifted beauty. Kaveri is one of those few chicks who posses beauty with brains. The model-turned actress is presently doing her Psychology along with commerce and ancient Indian culture. Kaveri has already made a name for herself in Tollywood after making a debut in Telugu film Nagaram starring opposite well-known south actor Srikanth.  And now the sexy model is all set to show her jalwa and latka-jhatkas in Bollywood.  Even before her first movie hit the movieplexes, Kaveri’s beauty has managed many ooing Bollywood producers and she has bagged a role in Hindi flick Hijack opposite Shiney Ahuja.

Emulating Shah Rukh Khan, actor Shahid Kapur is growing his hair and going for six-pack abs for his upcoming project, a musical to be directed by Ken Ghosh. Confirming the news, Ghosh said the project is on and Shahid is indeed making changes in his physical appearance. 'Post his 'Jab We Met' success, Shahid has become extremely choosy and aims to do only one film at a time. That is why he is taking liberty to experiment with his looks,' said a close friend of the actor.

Former actres Raveena Tadnon is happy that her father Ravi Tandon is being honoured by Dadasaheb Phalke Academy for his excellent work as a director in films like 'Anhonee', 'Khel Khel Mein' and 'Khuddar' in the 70s. 'Recently, our family has gone through some trying times. We needed something good to happen to us. I was in London when I heard about dad getting the Dadasaheb for director. We're delighted and surprised. We thought everyone has forgotten the man who made so many super hits in the 1970s,' said Raveena who featured in the hits like 'Mohra' and 'Dulhe Raja'.
