Prabhudheva debuted as a director in Bollywood with hit film “Wanted” and its success turned over a new leaf in Salman Khan’s life. Once again the choreographer-turned-director is planning to team up with the star for an action-packed drama. Post “Wanted”, Salman hit the bull’s eye at the box office with a slew of hit action dramas like “Dabangg”, “Ready”, “Bodyguard” and “Dabangg 2″. “Now people want Salman to do only action. It may be an action film with Salman. The story and the script have not been locked yet, so can’t comment on it,” he said. The film will be produced by Tips Industries Limited. It’s a known fact that “Wanted” success revived Salman’s career, but Prabhudheva refuses to take the credit. He said: “I don’t take the credit at all. If I would not have directed, someone else would have directed him. He has a huge fan following.” His other Hindi film – “Rowdy Rathore” – was also an action drama, but the director said: “People accepted me as a action film director, but I am more romantic director as I am a choreographer before so with dance romance comes naturally.” In fact, his next directorial venture “Ramaiya Vastavaiya”, starring Girish Taurani and Shruti Haasan, is a romantic movie. It is slated for a July 19 release. -IANS The post Is it action time for Salman-Prabhudheva, again? appeared first on Bollywood Celebden.

He sailed into Bollywood riding on the hit movie “Student Of The Year” (SOTY), but the success of his first film has not influenced Varun Dhawan. “I think it is too early for all that (stardom). I just feel like an actor now and whose performance people really liked, hence they want to support and love (me). I feel it is important for me to support things, which I believe in,” Varun told IANS. He is the son of director-producer David Dhawan, known for films like “Hero No.1″, and Varun is proud of his film legacy, but points out that he cannot take a piggy ride on his dad’s successful career. Measuring success with practical yardstick, the youngster said: “I am my father’s son. It is not my fault that my father happens to be famous and good at his job. I am proud to have a father like him. At the same time I have to make my own space. If you don’t achieve, then people won’t care. I think each person has their own journey to fulfil.” For his next, he has teamed up with his father in “Mein Tera Hero”. After that Karan Johar, who launched him in his directorial venture SOTY, has roped him in for his next venture. “I feel very privileged and happy that these people are there. They are ready to experiment and try things, which is amazing for new talent,” said the 26-year-old. Thanks to the success of his film, he has bagged couple of brand endorsements too. He is endorsing chat application – We Chat – along with Parineeti Chopra and is also seen in Coca Cola new ad. Varun likes to do launches when he is free. “I think it is good to spread social awareness and be in touch with current trend. As a person, who is in the public view, if you are not up-to-date, you will get outdated. I guess when I am not working and have the time to do this, I will do it,” he said. How do you de-stress yourself? “I watch movies, read a book, surf the net…I love travelling, I can go for a holiday or spend time with the family,” he said. -IANS The post Too early to feel like a star: Varun Dhawan appeared first on Bollywood Celebden.

Frozen started off as a pretty straight-up adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson’s story The Snow Queen. But, as we detailed earlier today, it mutated to become something rather different. Now it is a story of “two sisters torn apart by a big family secret,” with Queen Elsa (Idina Menzel) as the elder sibling, who cursed her kingdom to be permanently on ice, and Anna (Kristen Bell) as the younger, who tries to find Elsa after she flees the kingdom. Based on some of the concept art we’ve seen, I expected one thing from the film — something rather grand and pretty. But this first teaser trailer doesn’t deal with family or curses, and it isn’t “grand,” exactly. It has a much smaller conflict in mind. Take a look for yourself below. Why is the reindeer a dog? That’s odd. (His name, by the way, is Sven. Not, ahem, Maximus.) I find this looks more like a DreamWorks Animation or Blue Sky trailer than what I expected from Disney, even though Frozen will almost certainly have a less overtly goofy vibe for most of the story. We’ll see how much like Tangled it ends up being. There’s even (gulp) a whiff of ’70s Disney animation, in the way the snowman is designed. That said, some of the snowman’s actions are clever, and since Josh Gad voices him, he may also be quite funny. Kids will probably be open to this, but still, Disney’s older fans might need to see a bit more before booking tickets. Frozen is directed by Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck, with original songs and music by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez. It opens on November 27, 2013. Teaser via StitchKingdom. When a prophecy traps a kingdom in eternal winter, Anna, a fearless optimist, teams up with extreme mountain man Kristoff and his sidekick reindeer Sven on an epic journey to find Anna’s sister Elsa, the Snow Queen, and put an end to her icy spell. Encountering mystical trolls, a funny snowman named Olaf, Everest-like extremes and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom from destruction. ‘Frozen’ Images Reveal a Sisterly Bond, a Princely Suitor, and a Talking Snowman‘Frozen’ Concept Art Sets Heroes in an Icy Landscape; More Story Details RevealedDisney’s ‘Frozen’ Reveals More Plot Details, Including New Sidekicks and a Hero-Villain Connection‘Frozen’ Casts Idina Menzel as Snow Queen, Hires ‘Book of Mormon’ Co-Writer Robert Lopez to Write Original MusicAnimation Bits: Metal Band Mastodon Making Music For ‘Monsters University,’ Pete Docter’s New Film May Be Titled ‘The Inside Out,’ Plus ‘Frozen’ and Director’s RoundtableKristen Bell Lands Lead in Disney’s Snow Queen Adaptation ‘Frozen’

Hrithik Roshan is likely to pull out all stops to promote his much-awaited film “Krrish 3″, the third part of the successful Bollywood superhero franchise, with the busy actor said to have kept aside an entire month to promote his home production across the world. The movie is scheduled for release on Diwali (Nov 3) this year. “Starting from the first week of October, Hrithik will take a month’s break to market the film, right until its release in the first week of November. “The idea is to reach out to as many fans as possible during that time, because Rakeshji (director Rakesh Roshan) hasn’t started any kind of promotional activity yet. Even Hrithik has been off the media’s radar for a while now, since his last release ‘Agneepath’ was over a year ago,” said an insider. As part of the global promotion of the film, Hrithik is likely to travel to places like Dubai, Canada, Britain and the US. “Since he needs to promote the film in India as well as internationally, he will require time for the same,” the source added. “Krrish 3″ will take forward the story of the superhero, played by Hrithik, seen in “Koi… Mil Gaya” and “Krrish”. Hrithik is currently busy shooting for Siddharth Anand’s “Bang Bang” with Katrina Kaif. He is also teaming up once again with his “Agneepath” director, Karan Malhotra, for “Shuddhi”. -IANS The post Busy Hrithik to devote month for ‘Krrish 3′ promotions appeared first on Bollywood Celebden.

Sonali Bendre stays away from the big screen but she made an exception for Milan Luthria directed “Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara” (OUATIMD) and says her association with the director goes back a long way and that is why she agreed to do the “guest appearance” in the underworld drama. Produced by Balaji Motion Pictures, the film features her as Mumtaz. She will be seen on the big screen after a gap of 10 years when the film releases Aug 15. Sonali’s last big screen outing was again a guest appearance in Shah Rukh Khan, Priety Zinta and Saif Ali Khan starrer “Kal Ho Naa Ho”, in which she had played a doctor. “The film is directed by Milan Lutharia and I have known him since a long time. He used to assist (Mahesh) Bhatt sahab and my first ever song ‘Sambhala hai maine…’ was shot by Milan. So the equation and the relationship go very far back,” Sonali, who is married to Goldie Behl, told IANS. “Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara” stars Akshay Kumar, Imran Khan, Sonakshi Sinha in the main leads. Another reason for Sonali to give a nod to “Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobara” was its producer Shobha Kapoor, who is a good friend of her mother-in-law. “Shobha aunty has been friends with my mother-in-law for the past 40 years. So, when she calls her and asks for me to do something, I can’t say no to her. So it’s just that,” said the actress known for films like “Sarfarosh” and “Zakhm”. “I have not charged them for anything. So it’s not a professional kind of a thing for me, it’s just a guest appearance that I am doing for the people that are involved in it. It’s a very interesting literal role,” added the 38-year-old who is happily married, has a son and enjoys spending time with him. -IANS The post Sonali’s friendly appearance in ‘Once Upon…’ for friends! appeared first on Bollywood Celebden.
