UBD's Bollywood-Bytes 05-April-2011

Rani Mukerji | April 2011

Rani Mukerji
The bong diva really is on a self-marketing spree. It feels like she does at least 3 promo events a week since the beginning of the year. She was last seen a few days ago at a Diamond launch in Mumbai - looking stunning in a blue dress. Well she has to keep in the public eye for some time as her next release won't come until 2012 - as yet untitled with Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor.

Priyanka Chopra | April 2011

Priyanka Chopra
The starlet has rejected several TV projects. Citing she is too busy with 5 films on hand. Last year she had great success hosting 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' but now the role has gone to ex-co-star Akshay Kumar. Piggy Chops is currently working on 'Agnipath' with Hrithik Roshan and 'Barfee' with Ranbir Kapoor. Having just wrapped on 'Don 2' with SRK + Lara Dutta, she will also start work on 'Krrish 2' again with Hrithik and the as yet untitled Kunal Kohli project with Shahid Kapoor. And of course the cameo in 'Dostana 2'. Looks like she really has got her hands full this year.

Katrina Kaif | April 2011

Katrina Kaif
The 26-year old diva is currently shooting two films back to back: 'Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara' with Hrithik Roshan and 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan' with Imran Khan but she is excited about the forthcoming shoot for 'Dostana 2'. She said recently that the script is still being worked upon but the end product will for sure be 'fantastic'. Well let's hope so.

Vidya Balan | April 2011

Vidya Balan
The bong beauty is set to take her sensuality to the next level in upcoming 'Dirty Picture'. The film is based on Silk Smitha - a south Indian soft porn actress and the director of the film is set on making it very authentic. The outfits are set to be very skimpy. I am so excited to see what Vidya brings to this role. Vids will next be on our screens with a cameo in 'Thank You'.

Deepika Padukone | April 2011

Deepika Padukone
Deepi was recently snapped by fans on the shoot of 'Desi Boyz'. The diva was seen in a cute mini skirt and halter neck top dancing with background artists on Brighton Pier in England. I love Brighton and if I knew they were shooting there I would have gone down for the day LOL.

Asin | April 2011

Asin
The young actress will next be seen with Salman Khan in 'Ready' which opens June 3rd. Apparently her character in the film is based on Madhuri Dixit's Nisha in 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun' and a scene in the film pays homage to the elaborate song and dance sequence featuring all the cast members in the 1994 blockbuster. Let's hope this works for her as she hasn't been able to live up to her 2008 debut - Ghajini.

Anushka Sharma | April 2011

Anushka Sharma
The 22-year old starlet has begun shooting for her next flick opposite Ranveen Singh 'Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl' which will be directed by Maneesh Sharma, bringing the three back together after 2010's smash hit 'Band Baaja Baaraat'. A pic of Ranveer has leaked online and his look is very odd. Looking forward to seeing Anushka on the sets.

Koffee With Karan

It seems Karan Johar is running out of stars. Or has he scared them off? He should get Sridevi, Rekha, Juhi Chawla, Raveena Tandon, Karisma Kapoor, Manisha Koirala. But now, we have to endure these so-called "sibling celebrities". 

Ekta + Tusshar Kapoor

Check it out - he says some pretty harsh stuff about Preity Zinta.

Zoya + Farhan Akhtar

Lara Dutta: 'Chalo Dilli' trailer

Lara was last on our screens in April 2010 with Sajid Khan's 'Housefull' - in which she was fantastic. The Comedy Queen of this generation returns with the first film from her new home production company 'Bheegi Basanti' - whatta hot name. Lara was recently married and now she's back with a bang. Check out the trailer below:


Release date: 29th April 2011

UBD's Magazine Covers: April 2011

It's time to choose the best magazine cover of the month. I think Madhuri looks amazing on the cover of Filmfare this month. Who's your fave chick?

Priyanka Chopra | Exhibit | April 2011

Madhuri Dixit | Filmfare | April 2011

Kajol | Prevention | April 2011

Kareena Kapoor | Grazia | April 2011

Anushka Sharma | Verve | April 2011

IIFA 2011: Nominations

This is supposed to be one of the more respected award shows of the hindi film industry but to me these nominations are laughable. Where is Kajol? She won the Filmfare, yet here she is not even nominated. Where is Kareena for Supporting Actress? Just looks a mess. Check it out for yourself.
