Katrina Kaif bonds with Bina Kak

If you remember David Dhawan’s 2005 comedy ‘Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya’ starring Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen and Katrina Kaif, you will definitely remember Bina Kak who gave a fabulous performance as Salman Khan’s hot-headed mother. That was Kak’s debut in Bollywood. Kak is the tourism minister of Rajasthan and is close to Salman Khan’s family.

When Katrina Kaif was in Rajasthan to ask blessings for her forthcoming film ‘New York’ at the dargah of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti on June 23, 2009, she met Bina Kak at her residence in Jaipur.

Kareena Kapoor goes de-glam for ‘3 Idiots’

On one hand where Kareena Kapoor will be seen in a super glam avatar for ‘Kambakkth Ishq’, she sports a completely de-glam or you could say a geeky look for Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘3 Idiots’ where she plays the role of Neha, the professor’s daughter, from the book ‘Five Point Someone’. Aamir Khan, on the other hand, would be playing the handsome and genius Ryan. Sharman Joshi plays the role of Alok and Madhavan will be Hari, who adores Ryan and wants to be like him.

The cast and crew were in New Delhi at Connaught Place for the shoot of the film where Kareena was spotted wearing spectacles and Aamir was seen handling a strange machine named ‘virus inverter’.

The crew has already shot in Shimla, Ladakh, Bangalore and Mumbai. When they shot at the Pangong Lake in Ladakh which is 13,900 feet above sea level, Kareena went breathless due to the lack of oxygen.

“We had little oxygen, no electricity and no hot water. On top of that, I was in a wedding ghagra-choli outfit in that freezing cold, can you imagine! The wind almost swept me off my feet,” said Kareena.

To protect herself from the freezing cold, Kareena wore thermal heating along with her outfit. “But that was of very little help. Finally the unbearable cold was all worth it for a wonderful film. The boys (Aamir and Madhavan) were great fun. And Raju Hirani is a gem.”

Vivek Oberoi set to prove himself a ‘Prince’ once again

Vivek Oberoi is all geared up to take the Bollywood with storm. He has three quite promising projects in hand right now. One is Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Rakta Charitra’ where he is playing the role of Paritala Ravi, then there is Renzil D’Silva’s ‘Jehaad’, a romantic thriller against the backdrop of global terrorism and finally he has Kumar Taurani’s ‘Prince’ where he will be seen romancing three heroines. The name of the actresses has been kept undisclosed but what is known is that Vivek has performed some breathtaking stunts and action sequences for the film. Vivek is said to take off leaps from a plane, has jumped from high cliffs during his shots at Manikaran in Himachal Pradesh and even shot his fight sequences bare handed amidst the freezing river and rode rafts in strong currents. The action sequences have been directed by Allan Amin. Directed by Kookie Gulati and produced by Tips films, ‘Prince’ will hit the theatres on December 11.

“The experience of making ‘Prince’ has been truly amazing. We are very confident that the movie will appeal to all audiences and will perform well at the box-office,’ said Kumar Taurani, managing director of Tips Films.

With so many promising projects in hand and the dedication which Vivek is putting in, it seems that the actor is all set for a second golden inning.
