After foraying into Bollywood with ace Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavan’, followed by Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Rakta Charitra’, the national award winning actress Priyamani is signing more projects in Hindi.
Rumour-mongers insisted that she will be the heroine opposite Salman Khan in the sequel of his 2009 super hit ‘Wanted’ (tentatively titled ‘Wanted 2′), directed by Prabhu Deva. However, the dusky beauty has already denied these reports.
“I wish someone had approached me for the role in ‘Wanted 2′; sadly no one has as yet! But if I get an offer, I will grab it instantly! Who will want to miss out on the chance to act with Sallu bhai?” Priyamani was quoted as saying.

Salman Khan, the handsome hunk of bollywood who rocked in films like ‘Wanted’ opposite young cute thing Ayesha Takia, is being wooed by classical Indian beauty Vidya Balan.

Of course, Vidya Balan’s desire is only limited to celluloid and there is nothing personal about it, but even that desire is difficult to fulfill. Sources say that Salman Khan has decided in principle to work only with upcoming young things, who could provide some freshness to the whole project.

The main reason for this is the type of Salman Khan’s movies. In fact, Salman Khan’s movies have generally male oriented themes and seasoned actresses like Vidya Balan will hardly serve any purpose there.

There is no dearth of actresses who don’t have Salman Khan on their wish list of actors they want to work with. And the sexy seductress Vidya Balan is no different. We hear the actress, who is herself on the wish list of every actor in tinsel ville, is desperate to romance the hottest hunk Salman, on-screen of course.

Apparently, the actress is going around declaring that Salman’s like the quintessential lover and she wants to do a romantic role with him. While complimenting Salman is fine, Vidya’s act is being seen by many as too hard an effort to attract his attention. However, with Salman now sticking to doing films with fresh and young faces like Sonam, Ayesha, Sonakshi and Asin, we wonder if Vidya stands a chance!

Vidya Balan’s a romantic, and she does admit to sounding corny! The actress, who was in Delhi recently, said if she ever wrote a romance, SRK or Salman would star in it.

Five years into the industry and you’ve got an ardent fan and future director in MF Husain…
I know that Husainsaab wants to narrate a script to me, but it depends on when we meet. Because I’d probably travel to London or one such place, where we could meet and discuss. Right now, we haven’t met because I had a slightly hectic schedule and so did he. But there’s no question of starting this September, like it’s being reported, because we’ve not even met. I’ve spoken to him on the phone, though.

Bollywood has only two self-confessed insomniacs — one is Amitabh Bachchan and the other is Shah Rukh Khan. For years now the sleeping habits or rather the waking habits of these two phenomenons has been discussed endlessly. That the Big B reads or blogs incessantly through the night, and that SRK plays games or tweets till sunrise, is something everyone knows. However, a new breed of sleepless beauties and hunks have now descended on tinsel town. Some by default, others by design.

After superstars Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan, actress Vidya Balan has come out in defense of the Aamir Khan starrer 3 Idiots, saying that it does not encourage students to commit suicide.

“The film 3 Idiots gives out a message to the society that the rat race for higher grades has no meaning in life and the important thing is acquiring knowledge,” Balan who is in Indore to promote her film Ishqiya told reporters.
She said that suicide depicted in the film is not a “suggestion”, but a “reflection of the society”. Balan said that it is a matter of concern that large number of students commit suicide due to the pressure of studies.
“They end their lives at an age they should start dreaming about it,” she said.

There’s something about Bollywood couples that they just can’t remain friends after breaking off. Till today Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor aren’t on talking terms, while Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan don’t even look at each other.

So one can understand the awkwardness that Shahid and Vidya Balan – the two were linked during the days they worked in Kismat Konnection – felt when they found themselves on the same flight from Delhi to Mumbai a few days back.

Vidya Balan might look really odd with young heroes like Shahid Kapur but she continues to bag biggie films with a period feel or where the heroine is supposed to look Indian. And yeah, what she’s best suited to – matured heroes!

She’s starring with Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan in Raj Kumar Santoshi’s ‘Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhya Woh Jamiya Nahin.’

Thankfully she’ll be playing Sanjay Dutt’s wife in the film and isn’t the romantic interest of youngster Neil Nitin Mukesh who’s the third lead!

Sanjay Dutt-Salman Khan starrer Raj Kumar Santoshi’s adaptation of Asghar Wajahat’s play Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhya Woh Jamiya Nahin won’t be shot in Lahore, as originally planned. Now Santoshi will recreate Lahore in Hyderabad.

Santoshi confirmed and said, “Shooting in Lahore seems impractical. Primarily because we may not get the architecture of the partition times any more. So Nitish Roy is building Lahore in Hyderabad for us. Every lane, bylane, the transportation, the electric wires will be recreated. Our set will look more like Lahore than Lahore itself.”
