Remuneration: Rs 6 crore
With Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan carrying home a pay packet of Rs 6 crores for her proposed stint as Rajnikanth’s leading lady in Shankar’s Robot, the lady has now become the highest-paid actress of Indian cinema. But when it comes to Hindi films, Ash charges Rs 3 crore. Earlier the actress used to charge between Rs 1-1.5 crore but after bagging a Hollywood film, Aishwarya jacked her rates.

She’s looking good. When they dress her up according to her body type she looks beautiful…otherwise she looks like a stick..Gorgeous face tho!!

Kareena Kapoor looks as radiant and charming as ever. It is the first day of her shoot for her new film Main Aur Mrs Khanna, which is produced by UTV and Sohail Khan. The film also stars Salman Khan. The actress looks chirpy and greets me with a warm smile. “You will ask questions only about my personal life na?” she asks jokingly. Stunning in a black dress, Kareena does not look anorexic from any angle. Excerpts from a lunch-break chat
Do you want to lose more weight?
Why are you asking me this question? Do I look over-weight? (laughs).
No. But your weight-loss stories are doing the rounds.
I have been reading about it too. You tell me, how do I look? Do I look anorexic?
Not at all…
Then write na. While you are sitting in front of me you will praise me, and then you guys will say, “Arre kitni bimar dikhti hai!” (laughs)
But why did you lose so much weight?
I had to do it for my forthcoming film Tashan. I have signed a contract with Yash Raj Films so I won’t be able to divulge much about the film or my role.
TashanJust one week into its promotion and Tashan is already creating amazing buzz. And why not? After all it has super success written all over with names like Aditya Chopra, Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Vishal and Shekhar involved. With the film’s punch line – The ishtyle, the goodluck, the pharmoola – managing to throw quite a punch, the film is said to have an unabashed entertainment quotient with a holds-no-bar approach towards making commercial cinema.

Kunal Kohli’s next Absolutely nothing is known about this project, not even the title. Still, one thing which is clear is that there are fantasy elements in this film, courtesy Rani Mukherjee’s fairy act. Director Kunal Kohli and Saif Ali Khan had given a new lease of life to each other when they came together last in Hum Tum. This time around they also have Amisha Patel for company. Arriving this summer, this film is set as a mandatory candy floss entertainer from the house of Yash Raj Films

Roadside Romeo So what if the only thing we get to see (or rather hear) of Saif in Roadside Romeo is his voice! He still has Kareena for company and as a dog and bitch (in Saif’s own words), it is going to be quite some pairing at work. Though one wonders if actor turned director Jugal Hansraj would indeed be able to come up with an animation film which would be able to match international standards, Yash Raj Films’ backing makes one confident of the project. Arriving this Diwali, the film is being pitched as a festive family entertainer.

Imtiaz Ali’s next Jab Imtiaz Met Saif and also roped in Deepika Padukone, magic to hona hi hai! Yet untitled, this is one of the most exciting projects of the year and already announced as a Christmas release. It is said to be yet another ‘different’ yet entertaining piece of cinema from Imtiaz Ali who has defied stereotype twice in Jab We Met and Socha Na Tha. With Saif also producing the film and looking at pushing the envelope, audiences won’t settle down for anything less than extraordinary. Expect a grand finale to 2008 with the film’s release!
