Lara Dutta claims bigger share than Deepika

While it’s not uncommon for two leading ladies to be supremely competitive in a film it is certainly strange to see two of the actresses both believing they have the better role. Deepika Padukone and Lara Dutta are shooting for Sajid Khan’s Housefull at the moment. Both believe they’ve the best role, and Lara says as much. “The film has Deepika, Jiah and me….three girls.

But mine is a great role. It’s the strongest role among the females,” says Lara assertively. So where does that leave Deepika, who has just delivered a whopper of a hit in Love Aaj Kal? Says a source, “Deepika is the main female romantic lead. She has most of the songs and romantic scenes with Akshay (Kumar). Lara has a stronger role in terms of the dialogue and the comic sequences.”

Housefull is a comedy of errors, apparently inspired by Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Chupke Chupke, a house filled with the characters coming and going and creating a commotion of mistaken identity .

A die-hard Hrishida fan, Sajid Khan (He even acted in Hrishida’s last film Jhooth Bole Kauva Kate) has given Akshay Kumar a role that echoes Dharmendra in Chupke Chupke. And if Sajid is a die-hard Hrishikesh Mukherjee fan, Akshay Kumar has been a lifelong Dharmendra fan.

So where does that leave the two leading ladies? “Both believing that she has the best female role while Akshay Kumar has the best part by far,” says a source from the film.

Aishwarya Rai to get 6 crore for Robot

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (35) is the highest paid Indian film heroine. Still, for her to land an eye-watering Rs 6 crore for a single film — Shankar’s The Robot — is something. Bonus: she serenades Tamil superstar Rajnikanth. Shankar last directed Rajni in Sivaji.

The Robot is India’s most expensive film to date. It was reportedly budgeted at Rs 128.70 crore but after one schedule in Brazil, the budget was expanded to Rs 150 crore. That’s when the original producers— Ayngaran and Eros — upped and left, leaving the film to the loving care of the Brothers Maran (Sun TV) who were delighted to take over.

Reports have it that with a 27 per cent hike in crew remuneration (most of the technicians are American and have to be paid in dollars), the cost of The Robot or Endhiran, as it is called in Tamil, is set to skyrocket to Rs 165 crore. A new high for Indian cinema.

Rakhi Sawant caught kissing Elesh

Just on the heels of the reports that Rakhi Sawant had broken up with her recently-engaged Elesh Parujanwala, the couple was caught kissing, and that too on camera.

Giving a twist to their break-up story, Rakhi and Elesh got cosy and intimate during the shooting of NDTV Imagine’s reality show Pati Patni Aur Woh. It is said that the couple forgot the world around them and got into lip-locking act.

It all happened when Rakhi was made to wear an empathy belly to have a feel of pregnancy. She felt pregnant woes like morning sickness, swelling of feet, backache and loss of appetite. However, Elesh's caring mannerism moved her, so much so that she ended up kissing him.

Are Rakhi and Elesh rekindling their romance? Time will tell!

The actress was so furious that she had to be whisked away by John Abraham, who had accompanied her for Durga Puja celebrations

When Bipasha Basu, a trueblue Bengali decided to take part in the on-going Durga Puja festivities with boyfriend John Abraham, the last thing she expected was to be sexually groped by a sick minded stranger. The actress had a horrifying time when she was at The North Bombay Sarvojonin Durga Puja at Santacruz on Saturday evening. Not one to take things lying down, Bipasha was furious when John took her away from the scene. Incidentally, this Durga Puja pandal is now being managed by Rani Mukerji’s family.
Commenting on what exactly happened, a source present at the event said, “Bipasha and John came together for the Durga Puja in the evening and Bipasha was very excited as has always been part of Durga Pujas in Mumbai over the years. Just after the darshan, she was near the stage when someone pervert groped her breasts. Bipasha, of course, was taken aback and flew into a fit of rage. People around her tried to calm her down. John too was present there and he whisked her away to calm her down. She even wanted to lodge a police complaint. However, she had second thoughts. As for the sick man, he quietly and promptly ran away, taking advantage of the commotion.”
Despite repeated attempts, John and Bipasha remained unavailable for comment.
