Hrithik injured yet again while shooting for ‘Kites’
It was only last October when Hrithik Roshan injured his knees while shooting for a dangerous car stunt in Las Vegas for his home production ‘Kites’. Now, again this Tuesday, the actor hurt his arm at the Filmistan Studio in Mumbai while doing a stunt shot. He was breaking a glass with a rod and one piece of glass flew and hurt him.
Though it is a minor injury, getting injured while doing stunts for his movies is not new for the Roshan lad. While shooting for ‘Krrish’ and ‘Dhoom 2’, he had torn the ligament in his right knee and continued working despite the pain. Towards the latter half of 2008, Hrithik underwent surgery in the US and spent nearly two months recovering but his tryst with injuries continues.
Kites is about an Indian boy’s romantic affair with a Latina girl and their predicament as they do not understand each other’s language. Directed by Anurag Basu, the movie has US-based Spanish model Barbara Mori opposite Hrithik.

The 20 finalists will go through a 10 day grilling regime.

Geeta Basra to woo her fans in a music video
Geeta Basra has given just two films to Bollywood, (‘Dil Diya Hai’ and ‘The Train), yet she has managed to get hold of a considerable fan following and now she has something new for her admirers. This time Geeta will be shaking her stuff not for some flick but for a music video.
Here is what Geeta had to say about it. “I may have been termed choosy all this while but I don’t have any regrets about it. That’s the way I want to shape my career. I am young with age on my side and any wrong step would have been disastrous. I would rather wait and watch than burn my fingers.”
Geeta explains why she decided to do the video saying, “The sheer vision of the director and an emotional story that runs with it. Apart from lead roles, there were offers for item songs and music videos but I didn’t want to do anything where my heart was not set in. This one does sound exciting though. The setup is quite big, the scale is large and the grandeur amazing. This is not going to be one of those regular music video that you get to see all the time.”
It took a lot of persuasion and clearing of doubts before the producers could get a nod from Geeta. Directed by Colossus, the outfit run by video directors Ajay and Lovel Arora, the video is pasteurized on Geeta and a new male model named Rahul. “Lovel is a good friend of mine and I am happy to be finally working with him. When he came to meet me, he knew and hence further convinced me that I was perfect for it”, says Geeta.
The song in the music video is from Sukhshinder Shinda, who is a well-known UK based Bhangra producer and artist. He has worked on over 200 albums while producing numerous hit songs in last couple of decades.
Kareena Or Priyanka?
Shyam Benegal is coming back with another exciting film called Chamki. He had zeroed in Kareena first for the role.
Says a source, “Kareena was excited to begin with. She was supremely charged by the role and what Shyam Babu had done with her sister Karisma in Zubeida.
But then she opted out, as she often does from offbeat challenges like Deepa Mehta’s Water and Rituparno Ghosh’s Raincoat pleading it was too early for her to attempt something so unconventional.
Then came Priyanka Chopra who was quite kicked about the part. But she and the film’s then-producer Sanjay Gupta had a fall-out earlier when she had said no to his Musafir. The role then went to Urmila Matondkar who had monetary issues with the producer.”
Says the source, “Kareena continues to have reservations about non-mainstream cinema. She was recently offered another heroine-oriented film by Rituparno Ghosh. She declined.
Barring Pritish Nandy Communications Chameli she has never returned to non-mainstream cinema. But now Chamki, set in Rajasthan, is being re-designed as a big broad epic musical with super choreography and lavish songs by Javed Akhtar and A R Rahman. No expense will be spared to make Chamki a big blockbuster.”
Now the producers are thinking afresh for someone else for the role. It requires a dancer trained in the Rajasthani folk dance style.

Kangana Doesnt Favor Live in Relationships!
Kangana Ranaut’s latest film Raaz The Mystery Continues has hit the screen and we still have to wait to see how the film fares at the box office. Kangana after the success of Fashion, got another glamourous role.
She plays a model again. “I am playing the role of a successful model, who is disturbed by some spirits. This is a character-oriented movie and I am eagerly waiting for its release,” she says.
Kangana’s character in the film lives in with her boyfriend played by her real-life beau Adhyayan. However in real life she doesn’t favor the idea of living in.“With time everything has changed, men are living with men and women are marrying women. I do not want to offend anybody here but we should not get carried away by the western culture. We have to preserve our values and I am not in favour of any live-in relation,” stated Ranaut.
When asked about her marriage plans, Kangana said: “I am too young for a marriage. I am just 21 and first want to secure my career before taking any such decision.”
“I faced many problems when I came to Mumbai three years back. Here nobody helps you till you have a godfather. I have learnt so many things here and think that I have gained the wisdom of a 40-year-old human in the last two-three years through my struggle,” she said.
She has earned a fairly good reputation as an actor for her tender age.
Dusky Mugdha Paired With Fair Neil
Mugdha Godse who is flying high after getting appreciated for her debut film Fashion, will now be seen with Neil Nitin Mukesh in their forthcoming film Jail. Mugdha thinks Neil is extremely fair and their contrasting skin complexions will be interesting to watch.
“I saw ‘Johnny Gaddar’. He is very talented. Very….fair! I think we’ll light up the screen with our contrasting skin complexion,” Mugdha told IANS.
Neil returned the compliment and said: “Mugdha is extremely talented, drop-dead gorgeous and dusky.”
And though the plot’s focus is on Neil, Mugdha too has been given a meaty role.
“I’m looking forward to doing naach-gana after doing the unconventional stuff in ‘Fashion’. In fact, all the offers coming to me now are of the same variety, which is surprising considering I did none of that in my first film,” Mugdha said.
Manisha Koirala Ready For a Solid Comeback!
Manisha Koirala has been coming back time to time… the last comeback I remember is some crap called Mehbooba co-starring Ajay Devgan and Sanjay Dutt… There were some similar films before that… I forget their names.But, Manisha Koirala is apparently getting ready for a big comeback with a Mani Ratnam film. Her earlier Mani Ratnam films Bombay and Dil Se got her a lot of appreciation and she hopes to repeat the same with her comeback film.
Manisha is said to have lost oodles of weight for this slightly gray role she has in the Mani flick. Hope that works for her.
