Filmmaker Karan Johar today said rumours about Aishwarya Rai dissuading husband Abhishek Bachchan from working with Katrina Kaif were baseless and ridiculous. “Rumours about Aishwariya dissuading Abhishek from working with Katrina are absolutely baseless and ridiculous!!! The cast of Dostana 2 is Abhishek, John and Katrina and we start filming early next year!! Bringing Aishwarya into this is unwarranted!!,” Karan wrote on the microblogging site Twitter.
Dostana 2 is the sequel to the 2008 John-Abhishek -Priyanka Chopra starrer Dostana. It is directed by Tarun Mansukhani and is a Karan Johar Production.

According to reports in a section of the media, Katrina allegedly walked out of the Abbas- Mastan movie inspired by Italian Job likely to feature Abhishek Bachchan. Hence, Aishwarya wanted her husband to be out of the Karan Johar film.

Abhishek and Katrina have been paired opposite each other in Ram Gopal Varma’s Sarkar, a few years ago.

Salman Khan, the ‘Dabangg’ actor has, of late, become clever and skilful in dodging private questions that the tabloid so recklessly poses before the mega stars. Though, Aishwarya and Salman are pretty adept in avoiding each other, Salman Khan has finally unzipped his lips and spoken of his ex flame.
When quizzed about how he feels towards Aishwarya post marriage, he is blatant and candid as he cites, “I am very happy she is married to Abhishek. He is a great guy from a good family. The best thing I can want for her is that she leads a happy life.”
Will Aishwarya respond to this? I am sure Aishwarya isn’t that bold and laidback and would show the interviewer a furious glance before skipping the question and moving on.
Salman, by the way, is also being harassed by the media for his break up with his long time girlfriend Katrina. A seemingly annoyed Salman bursts forth, “There are so many other problems affecting people in the country, why is Salman-Katrina relationship national news? I am not giving any clarifications, the media can write whatever it wants.”
For more one-liners from the super cool and laidback Salman, turn into the theatres this Friday as ‘Dabangg’ releases. Munni badnaam hui….darrrling tere liye…. (ENSNN)

There were hundreds of stories floating on how cinematographer-cum-filmmaker Rajeev Menon, who made Kandukondein Kandukondein with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Tabu, and Sapne with Kajol, was supposedly doing an Abhimaan kind of a flick with Ash and hubby Abhishek.

It is now being rumoured that though Rajeev was in queue before filmmaker Mani Ratnam, who used the Ash-Abhi combo for Raavan, the superstar couple gave Mani preference over Rajeev.

But now it’s said that after the debacle of Raavan, the Rajeev film may not take off because the trade would much rather see Aishwarya romance other heroes, and Abhishek serenade Katrina or Kareena.

Two of the most beautiful actresses are connected by an uncanny coincidence. The forthcoming films of both the stunners are based on the religious Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Mani Ratnam’s Raavan, starring Aishwarya Rai as Sita, is based on Ramayana. It has south star Vikram playing Ash’s hubby and Abhishek Bachchan playing the villain who kidnaps Ash and takes her into a forest. Govinda’s character, based on Lord Hanuman, is that of a forest guard who helps trace Ash.

Prakash Jha’s film Rajneeti, on the other hand, is based on Mahabharata. The film, a political thriller, borrows a great deal from the politics of Mahabharata. Ranbir Kapoor plays an Arjun-like character who, with the help of his mentor, takes on his rivals. Katrina too plays a politico in the movie that stars a host of actors including Ajay Devgan, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpai and Nana Patekar.

This bollywood babe is adding more and more feathers in her cap each passing day it seems! And this time it is the honor of being Barbie.

Well…we are not talking of her new movie where she plays Barbie dolls, but the toy brand Mattel has decided to design a Barbie with Katrina’s face as a mark of celebration of their 50th year. This is a great honor for Katrina who says she was flattered when she heard the news. She added it is always good to be related to the fans and kids like this.

The dolls will be in stores by December’09 and we can’t wait enough to welcome Kaif as the famous doll avatar. Kaif, sadly though, had no time to see the progress of the designs as she had been busy with her new releases lately; though she is eagerly waiting to see the doll as soon as she is back.
