Sushmita takes over Katrina

Till recently it was the beautiful Katrina Kaif who was to essay the role of Jaya Bachchan in RGV'S SHOLAY. Rumour has it that Ram Gopal Varma had some accent issues with her and so he replaced her with Sushmita Sen. Varma informed a daily that the script and characters have undergone many changes which is why he decided to cast Sushmita, thereby rubbishing the accent rumours. He infact said that he was looking forward to working with Katrina in future and that she had tremendous untapped potential.
Rumour also has it that Kajol has been roped in to play Basanti, refuting the buzz about Esha Deol playing Basanti. Hema Malini was seen riding a 'Tanga' in the film, so lets see what Kajol rides.
Apparently RGV'S SHOLAY has a modern city look with lots of changes. Amitabh Bachchan's new look as 'Gabbar Singh' was recently unveiled. That itself goes to prove how different RGV'S SHOLAY is from the original one.

Katrina Kaif turns serious now!

The latest buzz doing the rounds about Katrina Kaif is that the gorgeous model-turned actress is signed by director Rituparno Ghosh to play Devi Choudharni in Bankim Chandra’s similarly named classic. The novel is based on the life of village girl Prafulla who is married into a zamindar's family. Ill-treated by her in-laws, she is forced to leave the house. After her mother's death she meets the notorious dacoit Bhavani Pathak, who encourages her to take part in devotional activities and christens her Devi Choudharani. Confriming the news Kat says, “Yes, I'm doing Devi Choudharani with Rituparno Ghosh. The film should go on the floor early next year and it will be made in Hindi. Rituji has explained the character that I have to play in detail to me. It's a dynamic character and it will be my first woman-oriented film.”Devi Choudharani will be one of Ritu's mega-budget films with plans of plans of shooting the entire film in Bangladesh, with some scenes in India.

Katrina's 'skirt' row in Ajmer shrine

Devotees have raised strong objection over Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif wearing a skirt to Khwaja Moinudeen Chishti's shrine at Ajmer, over 140 km from here.
Many have objected to Katrina wearing western outfits inside the shrine, which did not cover her legs completely, when a large number of people were offering their prayers.
"The shrine members should not have allowed Katrina to keep part of her legs uncovered," said Iqbal, a pilgrim.
The actor was in the shrine with her co-star Rishi Kapoor to shoot for producer-director Vipul Shah's "Namaste London".
There was also a commotion when several people jostled with each other to get a glimpse of the stars.
The silence maintained by Anjuman secretary Sayed Mohin Hussain Chisti over the issue is being objected by others.
Anjuman is a representative body of Khadims, who are workers of the shrine and claim to be descendants of the Sufi saint. It is alleged the film was being shot in his presence and he did not object.
"Due to the presence of large number of people, I could not see the dress worn by Katrina," said Chisti. "I was at a distance and it looked to me as if she was wearing a full dress," he added.
According to tradition, women offering prayers in the shrine must have their head, hands and legs covered.
