VERY FILMY

Star spotting
For the first time,Bollywood’s golden couple,Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be seen together in a soap commercial. The ad has been directed by Stephen Mead and the music composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy. The couple has been styled by Aki Narula. The ad captures how mesmerised Abhishek is with Ash when she plays a prank on him. We wonder if that’s the case in real life too.

Mistress of the game
Tanushree Dutta has made path-breaking inroads into male territory by becoming a connoisseur of video games. She fills the interregnum between shoots playing video games. It is,we hear,a lingering addiction with this glamour gal. That’s one up on you fellas.

Saving grace
Abhay Deol is playing agony aunt. When Anil Kapoor went to him with the problem of having a film and no male lead to cast opposite his daughter,Sonam Kapoor,in Aisha,Abhay willingly stepped in. He even reduced his pay scale as a favour to Anil. Now,if that’s not friendship,what is? Although we hear that Abhay’s remuneration is much less than Sonam’s wardrobe expenses.
