Vidya Balan might be linked to every other co-star but she claims to be still single.After her first big film 'Parineeta', there were talks of her closeness with co-star Sanjay Dutt.Then she was romantically linked to 'Salaam-E-Ishq' co-star John Abraham. During 'Kismat Connection' there were talks of her connection to Shahid Kapoor though many made fun of how she looked much older than him on screen.She denied all that outright and said in a TV interview that if she actually was linked with all her co-stars then she should be a person to wear her heart on her sleeve, which is not the case. So they are only rumors and nothing else.

 

All the songs from Delhi 6 are getting popular but one song that has attracted everybody’s attention is Genda Phool. This folk song mixed with modern music creating buzz. Apart from its unconventional style what attracts viewers is AB baby’s unique style of dancing. When asked about it he quipped “Well He is a unique kind of guy so this all was expected right!” Jokes apart, Abhishek told us the story behind this song. Rakeysh didn’t want choreographer for this song. He just put on the music and told us to do whatever we want. I am so happy that it has come out so well. It’s called AB dance!”

 

Shilpa who's lately bought IPL shares in the Rajasthan Royals is all set to shoot a sizzling music video to promote her cricket team.The song an evocative Rajasthani-folk number entitled 'Halla Bol' has been composed by Anand Raj Anand. It will be choreographed by Ken Ghosh who stopped doing music videos once he became a feature filmmaker.Says Shilpa excitedly. "I'm so glad Ken is making an exception for me. We chose Anand Raj Anand because he's an expert at catchy folk songs. I first worked in a film with his music when he scored for Pardesi Babu. I was simply bowled over by the numbers. Today when I hear the song he has composed for our team I feel deeply enthused." So enthused is Shilpa her beau and co-partner Raj Kundra by the Anand Raj Anand's Rajasthani song that they've apparently decided to shell out a mini fortune close to Rs. 1 crore, to shoot the song featuring Shilpa.

 

After winning accolades for his rocking guitarist act in Abhishek Kapoor's Rock On, Arjun Rampal is now ready to turn mean with his shrewd politician act in Prakash Jha's Rajniti. Presently he is in Bhopal and closely watching the local politicians preparing for the poll campaigning for a seat in the forthcoming Lok Sabha. We managed to have a small tete-a-tete with Arjun about his role and how he misses his hair."My role in Rajniti is very challenging and at the same time really interesting. I play the role of a politician, who carries a lot of influence in North Indian states such as Bihar and Madhya Pradesh. We are shooting in Bhopal right now to lend authenticity to the subject."Arjun further added, "Prakashji had recommended me few books and articles on politicians to prepare for the role so I read several of these books at the library at the Bhopal University. But I can't reveal on which real life politician. I really can't take the name of the politician as I'm not allowed to speak about him right now." The star, who has shaved his head for the role, said, "I really miss my hair but kuch paane ke liye kuch khona padta hai."

 

Sanjay Dutt has done what many of the biggest banners of Bollywood including Yashraj Films, couldn't. He has managed to convince Raj Kumar Hirani to direct a film for Sanjay Dutt Productions (SDP). Hirani, it is well- known, is a diehard Vinod Chopra Productions director. Nothing and nobody could convince him to move to a different banner. In fact two years ago Rishi Kapoor offered Hirani a chance to direct Ranbir Kapoor in a home production for R.K Films after seeing Lage Raho Munnabhai.Hirani politely turned down the offer.So what could've convinced Hirani to finally direct a film outside home ground? "It was simpler than one would think, " says a source. "Sanjay Dutt actually took permission from Vidhu Vinod Chopra. The two of them share a very warm rapport ever since Sanju worked in Vinod Chopra's Mission Kashmir. There was no way Mr Chopra, known to be extremely possessive about his crew, could say no to Sanju." Hirani will direct a film, another comedy, for Sanjay Dutt as soon as he's done with 3 Idiots. The next installment in the Munnabhai series entitled Munnabhai Chale Amrika also goes on the floors by the end of next year.But the comedy that Hirani will make for Sanjay Dutt Productions will be very different from the Munnabhai series.
