 Hollywood remake for Aamir Khan's 3 Idiots

After its blockbuster success in India, Aamir Khan starrer 3 Idiots is all set to get a Hollywood remake.

"We are in talks with 3 studios in Hollywood and one company in Italy for the remake of 3 Idiots," Vidhu Vinod Chopra told PTI on the sidelines of the ongoing International film festival of India (IFFI).

And that's not it. The film, which released in India in December 2009, is all set to explore other markets. It is releasing in Mainland China with a whopping 900 prints next week.

"Its a first for any Hindi film to release with so many prints in China. It is also being adapted into a stage musical in Taiwan. The film has already made 2-3 million dollars in Hong Kong," said Chopra.

The film is also getting a Chinese remake.
"The director of Kung Fu Hustle Stephen Chow is also remaking it in Chinese. My films are made with universal values so they connect with audience all over the world. I am hoping my next Ferrari Ki Sawari also tastes the same success."



 Bipasha Basu to do item number?


 

                           If all goes well, Bipasha Basu might soon be putting on her dancing shoes for a full-fledged item number. Interestingly, the actor has never done one before. And if the current buzz is anything to go by, she is apparently the top choice for a special track featuring Sanjay Dutt, for Anand Kumar's Zilla Ghaziabad..

“The makers are trying to rope Bipasha in. The discussions are in the final stages. Since the film is set in a rustic milieu, she will be required to don a similar avatar. If things work out as planned, she might revisit her Beedi Jalaile… and Namak Isq ka… days,” informs a film unit member. When contacted, producer Vinod Bachchan says: “Yes, Bipasha might do the song, but we are yet to lock all the details.”

However, Sanjay Dutt’s business manager Dharam Oberoi insists nothing is finalised yet: “We’ll take a final call in a week’s time. By then, the picture will be clear. It’s too early to comment right now.”

Bipasha Basu has never done an item number for a film, where she isn’t the leading actor. But she has had her fair share of chartbuster tracks such as Mehbooba… (Ajnabee), Beedi Jalaile… (Omkara), No Entry… (No Entry) and Lucky Boy… (Bachna Ae Haseeno).




Bikini-Clad Jennifer Lopez Lounges with Shirtless Casper Smart in Hawaii...





Fashionista Jennifer Lopez didn't go shopping on Black Friday. Instead, she feasted her eyes on Casper Smart, her 24-year-old dancer beau of just a few weeks, who doffed his top during a sexy Thanksgiving vacation in Kauai, Hawaii.

New photos from Friday reveal Lopez, 42, sipping a tropical cocktail and lounging in her bikini in a cabana alongside her topless, muscular new man. Lopez, Smart and her 3-year-old twins Max and Emme spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Hawaii.

"Casper was great with the kids," a source told Us. During a Thursday outing on the beach, Smart (who's performed with Lopez onstage numerous times) "was twirling them around and doing flips with Emme and she seemed very comfortable with him."



Two Sundays ago -- following a hot performance at the American Music Awards -- the new couple packed on the PDA at a post-AMAs bash in L.A.
No word yet on whether Lopez and Smart are exclusive. In early November, Lopez hooked up with ex Marc Anthony (they split in July after seven years of marriage) in Puerto Rico.


Saif-Kareena  to...get married or walk the aisle or whatever in March...




  Saif Ali Khan's sister Soha has confirmed that the wedding between Bollywood's hottest couple Kareena Kapoor and Saif, will take place immediately after the release of Khan's home-production Agent Vinod.
"The date hasn't been finalised. Bhai says after Agent Vinod releases, they will finalise the date and share it with everyone," said the ecstatic sister. "Tentatively, it is March, since the release of Agent Vinod has been planned for February 2012. It will be soon after that," she added. 

Soha said she's isn't quite sure why the couple would want to wait till the release of Agent Vinod. But we learnt from reliable sources that Khan is making the release of his home-production priority. 

"Saif and Kareena had decided that they would marry in early 2012. After Nawab Pataudi's death, the family was in two minds about postponing the date. However, both the families decided that the wedding should happen sooner instead of later," a source revealed. 

Both families are also in agreement that Kapoor will continue to act after marriage. "Why not? Marriage is no longer a hurdle in an actor's career. Sharmila Tagore and Aishwarya Rai have done their best work after marriage," Kareena Kapoor said. 

The year 2012 seems will be one of filmy weddings. Randeep Hooda-Neetu Chandra, Soha Ali Khan-Kunal Khemu and Abhay Deol-Preeti Desai are expected to solemnised their relationships next year and the year will kick off with Genelia d'Souza and Ritesh Deshmukh's wedding in February.


Is Lindsay Lohan headed for Big Brother house?




Speculation is mounting that Lindsay Lohan could be among those taking part in Celebrity Big Brother when the show returns to Channel Five in January.

According to the Sunday Mirror the troubled actress is considering a deal to enter the house - provided she is allowed to leave the US under the terms of her current community service sentence.


She still has a month of the sentence - which has seen her working at a morgue in California - to complete, and last month was sent to jail after violating the terms of a probation order imposed upon her in 2007.


However the paper reports that show producers are keen to argue that an appearance on Celebrity Big Brother would help her get her life back on track.


"Lindsay would be an absolutely amazing signing for us," a source said.


"She's a Hollywood A-Lister and everybody knows all about the trouble she's been in.


"She's a fiery character too, so there's sure to be some major clashes with other celebs if we get her in the house."


The insider added that show producers were doing "everything possible" to secure her services.


"We want this to be the best Big Brother ever," the source said, "so we hope that the courts will make a special allowance in this case."


Natalie Cassidy, Natasha Giggs and Denise Welch are among the other names who have been tipped to appear in the series.



Katrina Kaif says she won't overshadow Priyanka in Agneepath




 Actress Katrina Kaif has been in news for her item song 'Chikni Chameli' in the movie Agneepath ever since Karan Johar officially announced her name on his Twitter page. So it was rumoured that she will overshadow actress Priyanka Chopra, who is playing the female lead in the film. But Kat has slammed the rumours.

Katrina Kaif says that Priyanka Chopra, Hrithik Roshan and Sanjay Dutt are all happy over her roping in for the track 'Chikni Chameli'. The Bollywood actress adds that there is no competition between her and Priyanka in the film Agneepath and she will not overshadow PC in it.

Karan's Dharma Productions has unveiled her first look in the item number on Wednesday night. Now, Kat hopes that her new item number becomes bigger than the previous item songs like 'Munni Badnaam Hui', 'Sheila ki Jawani' and 'Chammak Challo'.
 
  
                                                   Preity Zinta clarifies
 
 


The ever smiling Preity Zinta seems to be pretty miffed. At least her outbursts on microblogging site bears testimony to the same. 

The actor posted about an article in a newspaper on her, "Just saw an article stating that I don't have time to promote my movie HAR PAL ! Absolutely false and baseless piece of News ! Wish journos wud call u & ask 4 a comment as opposed to listening to a SOURCE who does not exist.

I don't appreciate being part of someone's Views !! The truth is that the Producer of Har Pal borrowed money from me & now refuses to even take my calls. So now he is avoiding me ! So him asking me for Dates & me refusing is a totally baseless story !"
