Shahid- Anushka’s PDA at Imran Khan’s bash!

Looks like we have a new couple in Tinsel Town. Rumours are abuzz that Shahid Kapoor and Anushka Sharma are cosying up to each other. What more, they are also planning to star in Yash Raj’s next film.
The duo had a rocky start when they first starred in YRF’s ‘Badmaash Company’. Insiders claim that they didn’t get along that well on the sets of the film. But when they met recently at actor Imran Khan’s party, they seemed to have warmed up to each other.

A tabloid also claims that the two hit it of at the party and were also seen indulging in PDA, much to the discomfort of the other guests.

Director of ‘Band Baaja Baarat’, Maneesh Sharma is probably cashing in on the new found ‘friendship’ and has decided to cast Anushka and Shahid in his next film which will be produced by YRF.

Speaking to a daily, a source informed, “The last time that Anushka and Shahid worked together was in the YRF production, ‘Badmaash Company’. Their on-screen chemistry was so convincing that many thought that it stemmed from an off-screen romance. And after watching Shahid’s performance in ‘Mausam’, YRF and Maneesh decided that Anushka and Sasha were an apt pair for the film.”

Maneesh is at present working on ‘Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl’ which stars Anushka along with her ex Ranveer Singh and has simultaneously started working on the script of his next romantic comedy.

Apparently, both Shahid and Anushka are excited about the new film( but of course!) and are currently trying to adjust their dates for the same. “The film has been scripted by Jaideep Sahni, who also wrote the scripts of the three blockbusters - `Chak D`e, `Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi` and` Bunty Aur Babli`,” added the source.

When contacted, YRF spokesperson said, “Maneesh is still shooting ‘Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl’. He will complete his next script and finalise the cast after the release of `Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl`, on December 9.”

Anushka Sharma, Boney Kapoor's son in YRF next

Ranveer Singh admitted on a recent television chat show that he missed Anushka Sharma 'a lot'. And also, that they have now 'drifted apart'.

With Anushka moving towards Boney and Mona Kapoor's son Arjun, the drift was inevitable. In fact, after Mumbai Mirror reported on August 26, how Arjun and Anushka were caught in a city multiplex enjoying each other's company, the young couple have been spotted painting the town red time and again.

Now, Yash Raj Films has decided to cash in on their off-screen chemistry. The production house has decided to launch a film with Arjun and Anushka in the lead roles to be directed by Do Dooni Chaar director Habib Faisal.

A source revealed, "YRF has decided to make a romantic film with Arjun and Anushka in the lead. In fact, the two young actors were recently spotted at a fine dining restaurant in Andheri discussing the film with YRF scion Aditya Chopra."

While rumours about romantic liaisons between co-stars often help in raking in the monies for the film, real life couples fail to generate the same chemistry on screen. Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor for example failed to please the critics post Tashan.

"Real life couples have often failed to translate their off screen chemistry on screen. John and Bipasha sizzled in Jism. And then it was Kareena and Shahid who delivered the hit Jab We Met. But it happens rarely. Even Kareena and Saif failed to deliver in Tashan," said another source.

But Arjun and Anushka seem to share an extremely special chemistry for it not to show on screen. A source close to Arjun revealed, "Arjun is extremely close to Anushka. They care for each other a lot. Their friendship is very new but yet they look like they are extremely comfortable with each other."

"Anushka aqnd Arjun have been frequenting a multiplex in Juhu lately. Also they were spotted at many nightspots in the city. In fact, Arjun was one of the reasons of Anushka-Ranveer split," added the source.

Mere Brother ki Dulhan : Release on 9th September

(Washington Bangla Radio) Word has been spreading pretty fast of the fantastic cast and super exciting trailer of one of the most highly anticipated releases of this year, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.

The first look of another musical romantic comedy blockbuster from Yash Raj Films “Mere Brother ki Dulhan” is out and all set to release on 9th September 2011.

The Mere Brother Ki Dulhan title track has been shot widely across India including Mumbai, Dehradun and Delhi and features Imran Khan, who is on the lookout for his brother’s perfect bride. The lyrics are catchy, the music is fast-paced, and Imran Khan’s dancing is his best so far, as he pays a tribute to Bollywood’s three superstars Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan.

It will be first film where Katrina and Imran will be sharing the screen space together. The movie is directed by Ali Abbas Zafar

The song uses the three modes of transportation – air, road and train in a very interesting and captivating style, in his hunt for his brother’s dulhan. It’s indeed delightful to watch Imran charming his way on screen with steps from Aamir’s famous ‘masti ki paathshala’ steps, to Salman’s Dabangg belt move and his towel step, and of course Shah Rukh’s “Chaiyya chaiyya” atop the train.
