Very Filmy

No lessons learned
They say experience is the greatest teacher,but not for Akshay Kumar,it seems. The actor,formerly known as,Khiladi Kumar seems to have moved on from the debacle of Tees Maar Khan without learning much. He’s teaming up with Farah Khan again,but that’s not the bad news. What’s astounding is that it will be to act in a 3D movie,Joker,which will be produced by Farah,but directed by Shirish Kunder. That man needs to stick to editing — Jaan-e-Mann and Tees Mar Khan were proof enough that when it comes to writing and directing,Shirish seriously loses the plot.

Ladies man
Imran Khan seems to be quite the popular co-actor. The leading ladies of Bollywood are all getting ready to attend his mehendi-cum-reception party on January 10. From his first co-star Genelia to Deepika Padukone,who was seen with Imran in his last film Break Ke Baad,everyone is expected to attend the newlyweds reception. In fact,Kareena Kapoor and Deepika are cutting short their vacations to attend the mehndi ceremony. Such love. Only Sonam Kapoor and Katrina Kaif have dropped out due to prior work commitments.

Hero worship
Shahid Kapoor is shooting for his father Pankaj Kapur’s Mausam in the freezing cold in Baroli,which is about an hour’s drive from Chandigarh. “The temperature fluctuates from one to two degrees and we shall be shooting here till mid-January,” said Shahid,adding that answering phone calls is not possible as there is no network in that area. But what is a discomfort or two if you get the privilege of working with Pankaj Kapur? Shahid says that initially he was very nervous about working with his father. “But since dad himself is an actor,he made things easy for me. Dad is very passionate when it comes to work,” said the proud son. It’s nice to see a son admire his father so much in these cynical times.
