Veena Malik wants to pose nude for 'Playboy'


Looks like Pakistani actress and model Veena Malik didn't have enough after posing nude for FHM magazine.

Veena now wants to bare it all and pose naked for 'Playboy' magazine. But she isn't doing it for nothing, reports suggest the actress is charging 1 million dollar to show her skin.



Indian daily, Mumbai Mirror reports that she would bare all for 'Playboy's' centrefold spread if she was asked.

The actress shot to fame when she appeared naked for FHM India edition. The celebrity status came to her not just for posing naked but for all the charges and counter-charges that followed between her and the magazine after the pictures made headlines. She claimed that the pictures were doctored and called press conferences, gave away interviews and also went ahead to say that she will sue the magazine for tampering her photographs.

While taking to Emirates 24|7 Veena said, "It was my mistake to work with such cheaters".

Despite such regrets Veena is more than willing to do it again and considers posing nude for 'Playboy' as a 'great opportunity'.

Her audiences saw all that Veena had to offer wonder what else she's

Ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif was spotted shaking her leg with Salman's nephew and Sohail Khan's son. This actress sure knows how to keep her ties strong, reports NDTV.

Though there were reports of Salman Khan being upset with Sonakshi and her gossip habits but the two bonded during the launch of Seema Khan's spa.Reportedly Sonakshi is turning into a gossip girl. The actress is presently working on two big projects -'Dabangg 2' and 'Son of Sadar' and she is revealing all the information about one film on the sets of the other.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan is leaving no stone unturned to make 'Dabangg 2' a bigger success than the first part in 2010.

Looks like this Khan is all set to consolidate his position in the industry as the most bankable star in Bollywood

Katrina & Sonakshi: Foes turned friends

Two actresses in Bollywood can never be best friends but for Sonakshi Sinha and Katrina Kaif things are changing for good.
There were reports earlier that all is not well between Sonakshi and Katrina. The rumours spurred from the fact that Sonakshi had replaced Katrina as the brand ambassador of a clothing range and a soap brand. There were also reports that Sonakshi replaced Katrina in the hit sequel of 2008 'Race'.

But recently the two actresses were seen bonding with each other brushing away all speculations of a tiff between them.

Sonakshi and Katrina buried the hatchet and were present together at the inauguration of Sohail Khan’s wife Seema Khan’s Spa Salon in Mumbai.


Daily Bhaskar reports that Sonakshi cleared all misunderstanding by sending text messages to Katrina and explained her complete scenario.

The girls enjoyed their time together and hugged each other at the inauguration. Sonakshi and Katrina went around the entire spa and discussed the place at length.

Interestingly, Salman Khan was also present at the event and he made sure both his ladies had a good time.

It's good to see foes turning friends in the film industry, lessons for few (Is Shah Rukh- Salman listening?).

Aishwarya-Abhishek in late night bash The Jr Bachchan couple did not travel abroad to stay close to Aaradhya

"It's past midnight ... time to say Happy Anniversary to Abhishek and Aishwarya," tweeted Amitabh Bachchan on April 20 wishing his son and lovely daughter-in-law on their 5th wedding anniversary.
Normally during this time Abhishek bachchan makes it a point to take his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to exotic locations to celebrate.
But this time the junior Bachchan couple decided to stay in Mumbai and share this moment with their daughter Aaradhya Bachchan and their parents.

Staying in Mumbai definitely did not mean the couple will not celebrate and have fun. Also their core group of friends finally got their chance to party with the couple.

The day started with family wishing Abhi and Ash for completing five year of blissfull marriage and the new inclusion in their life - their daughter Aaradhya.

Indian dailys reported that the celebration started at hoome with Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan. Though the initial idea was to keep it strictly a family business, soon plans changed and Abhi-Ash invited few very close friends.

With 20/25 friends the couple started parting at their home Jalsa. Soon requests of an outing came pouring in and Abhishek obliged.

They went out to party in a 5 star hotel keep Aaradhya safely with the grandparents.

The party kept the hotel staff busy till late hours as orders of drinks and food came by. Well, that’s not where the party ended. The group shifted their base back to Jalsa and had a blast till the wee hours.

Eyewitness says the guests were seen leaving Jalsa around 6 in the morning.

Here's wishing the Mr and Mrs Jr Bachchan many more years of celebration.

Bollywood's real King Khan to redefine show Aamir Khan starts promoting his reality show 'Satyamev Jayate' which goes on-air on May 6

Satyamev Jayate'- truth alone prevails, this is what Bollywood actor Aamir Khan believes in and is putting all his time, money and might on.

Aamir Khan wants this show to be different from other reality show and 'Satyamev Jayate' is said to be a talk show where Khan will bring up discussions about social issues affecting the country.

But no one really knows what Khan is up to. The format of the show is the best kept secret in Bollywood and Indian television till now.

There is a twist in the treatment of the show which will be revealed only on May 6 when the show goes on-air.

Even before its launch the show is creating quite a stir and people are getting intrigued by the secrecy surrounding it. The interest level is heightened with Aamir Khan's association with a reality show which will mark his debut on small screen.

The brand Aamir Khan spells quality, perfection and professionalism.

'Satyamev Jayate' will create history by becoming the first ever programme to go live simultaneously on a private channel (Star Plus) and Indian national broadcaster DD1.



Telecasting the show in five different Indian languages - Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Telegu and Tamil, Aamir Khan has already ensured a mass viewership.

Aamir has kicked off the promotional gig and visual teasers of the show are aired quite frequently on the channel.

In one of the promotional clip Aamir Khan talks about touching hearts of his countryman and bringing about change.

At a time when there is an uprising against corruption and an upsurge for change in Indian, there couldn't have been a better time for Khan to come up with a show which is for and about the common man.

The concept of show was waiting to be picked up but needed a Aaimr Khan to be delivered.

Such human interest show needed not just planning and execution but also marketing that a master strategist like him could bring about.

Recently, reports of Khan being invited by an auto rickshaw driver to his son's wedding and the actor accepting the invitation can be a perfect promotional tactic. Such humble gestures will garner Khan more audiences.

Khan has travelled extensively over several weeks to various places in Indian bringing together human interest stories that will evoke love for the nation and national integrity.

Covering the length and breadth of the country he visited Rajasthan, Kashmir, Kerala, Delhi, Punjab and several North-Eastern states.

Aamir Khan and music director Ram Sampath have created roughly 16 songs to go with each of the episodes.

Aamir Khan will also launch a music album once the show comes to an end.

It is rumoured that Aamir has delayed the release of his movie 'Talaash' and 'Dhoom 3' from going into production for this reality show.

We hope Aamir Khan's gamble with 'Satyamev Jayate' pays off.

'Slumdog Millionaire' star Anil Kapoor gets talking The actor talks about his various films and the current trends in the industry

35 years in the Indian Film Industry, with a daughter who’s become a part of the industry for few years now, but well, the man can give any actor from the younger lot a run for money.
Fit as a fiddle, and looks that could get him a role opposite his own daughter, well that’s a little bit of an hyperbole, but nevertheless, actor Anil Kapoor has maintained his position in Hindi cinema over the years.
Be it the Munna of ‘Tezaab’ or Lakhan from ‘Ram Lakhan’, ‘Pukar’ or the ever popular ‘Mr India’, Anil has made each character worth remembering with his own personal touch to each of them.

Yet, no one really is aware about the actor’s struggle before ‘Woh Saat Din’ happened. Though, guess his struggle has been worth it, considering the name he has built for himself in Hindi cinema. Not to forget his work in Hollywood in recent times.


Ask him what made him sign the film, and he says, “For me to agree to do a film is never fast. I take time to say yes, but when Priyadarshan offered me the film, he told me, ‘Abhi tu mana nahi kar sakega, (you cannot say no to me now) and I won’t disappoint you.’ And he hasn’t disappointed me. Priyan has done his best with this film.”

But while we wonder if Anil is getting to the action genre, because that’s the current fad in the industry, with most actors making it big in the genre, Anil clarifies, “I’ve always been doing these kind of films. And if you see my body of work, films like ‘Tezaab’ or ‘Ram Lakhan’ or ‘Mashaal’ , they’ve always worked. What these actors are doing now, I’ve done that many years ago. And well, I’m again preparing for this genre.”

True that, since the actor’s next few are all action packed films, be it ‘Shootout at Wadala’ or ‘Race 2’. Infact, his television debut with hindi version of ‘24’ belongs to this genre too.

It’s an era where an actor undergoes various changes in his look for a particular character and a film. Either an actor goes bald, or the hair gets short. Some actors even grow a moustache or a stubble for a role.

Anil admits that one must do what a role demands, though, he reminds us that he’s done that in so many films, so many years back. “All the films we’ve made, there was a conscious decision to be ahead of time. Hence, people can even watch those films today and get entertained. I’ve changed my look for so many films. ‘Lamhe’, I removed my moustache, then ‘1942 : A love story’ I cut my hair short, changed the whole look, just that, in those times the media didn’t pay attention. During ‘1942: A love story‘, me and Vidhu Vinod Chopra decided, let’s call the media, I’m changing my whole look, but there was nobody apart from me and him, and now some actor just starts wearing a earring and media creates a hype,” he laughs.

He further adds, “You know and I like it when people think someone has followed me, like while ‘Koi Mil Gaya’ released or ‘My Name is Khan’ released, people told me they were reminded of my role in ‘Eeshwar’, I felt good.”

Comedy and Action are two genres that the actor has been closely associated with, and he loves both. But he considers comedy slightly more difficult. Says the national award winning actor, “With comedy, a lot depends on the co-actors. Their timing matters.” Prod him about the actors he’d enjoyed doing comedy with and he says, “Govinda, Johhny Lever, Anupam Kher, Paresh Rawal, Nana Patekar. In actresses I’d say, Sridevi. She is the best in the industry when it comes to comedy. Also, Juhi Chawla is too good at it.”

While he has begun shooting for ‘Shooutout at Wadala’ and ‘Race 2’, Anil also confirms that ‘Mr India 2’ will happen.

Though, the case hasn’t been finalised. But ask him, if Sridevi would be there in the film, and he quips, “Aree Boney picture produce karega, toh Sridevi kaise nahi hogi?”

Yes, clearly, the man knows how to make you laugh for real! On the production front, his next venture would be ‘Herogiri’ apart from the TV series ‘24’

Hrithik Roshan to follow Shah Rukh's footsteps?

Hrithik has been approached to be the brand ambassador of the Indian state of Maharashtra
The government of Maharashtra has approached Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan to be the face of the state.
Hrithik Roshan, who is the heartthrob of the younger generation in India and has a huge fan following, seems to be the best brand ambassador of the state.
The state of Maharashtra is planning to revamp its image as a tourist friendly destination and plan to rope in Hrithik.

They plan to shoot a short film with him in places such as Mumbai, Mahabaleshwar, Kolhapur and Raigad. A photo shoot is also being -planned with the actor, reports Zoom TV.


Till now there hasn't been any confirmation from the actor's end. Hrithik is busy filming 'with Krrish 3' for another four-five months.

If he accepts the responsibility, he will be the third actor from Bollywood to represent a state in India.

Veteran Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan is the brand ambassador for the state of Gujarat. He has travelled many times to Gujarat and has been campaigning extensively.

Recently Shah Rukh Khan was chosen as the brand ambassador of West Bengal sparking controversy as to why other Bengali actors were not given the opportunity.

It now remains to be seen if Hrithik will be able to manage some time out from his busy schedule and accept the state government's offer.

Aishwarya Rai gives 'Sarkar 3' a miss; Big B, Abhi in Actress again brushes away movie offer after birth of Aradhya

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma ropes in father-son duo Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan for the sequel of his film 'Sarkar 3'.
But the third member from the Bachchan family who was part of the second installment of the series, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, will not feature in this movie.

The actress has once again brushed away movie offer after the birth of her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan.

Reports suggest that filmmakers have been getting impatient to cast Ash in their movies but she has laid down her priorities quite straight.

Though Ash has been stepping out more frequently now attending events and has even signed a whopping brand endorsement deal but she is yet to given her nod to any movie.

Ram Gopal Varma, who is currently busy with his upcoming release "Department" tweeted: "'Sarkar 3' is being planned... Amitji and Abhishek will feature in it but contrary to reports, Aishwarya won't be in it... Script is still under progress."


This rests all speculations about Aishwarya returning to the arc lights post-pregnancy sabbatical with 'Sarkar 3'.

Katrina Kaif was featured in the first instalment of 'Sarkar' as Abhishek's love interest but for 'Sarkar Raj' Aishwarya came on board with a slight grey streak in her role.

Aishwarya, who was last seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Guzarish", took a break from Bollywood because of her pregnancy.

John Abraham to marry Priya Runchal this year John and Priya have been seeing each other for almost a year now

Actor-turned-producer John Abraham has decided to settle down in life and finally say goodbye to bachelorhood.
He would soon tie the knot with his girlfriend for a year, Priya Runchal. There were rumours that the two got married in Los Angeles a few months ago, however, that is not the case, reports an Indian daily.

Their love story took off last year in April. Incidentally Priya was a regular in the gymnasium where both Bipasha Basu and John used to work out together.
John and Bipasha split after eight years of romance and only then Priya made an entry in the story.

John has been shielding Priya from the media glare for a very long time and never spoke openly about her until now.

They hardly made public appearances bar one event when the two attended a book launch by John's cousin sister.

The entire Abraham household was present at the event and by the look of it Priya was very much at home. The family did everything possible to make her feel comfortable.

Though the date hasn't been fixed yet it could be in a week or a few months. "I know it will be this year, but I don't know when. It could be in a few months or a few weeks. I am a very impulsive guy. So I might decide to get married next week! It's possible that our wedding may have just 10 people, if we include close family," said John.

Jism 2’s lead actress’ real name is not Sunny Leone but Karenjit Kaur Vohra.

Reportedly, the Indo-Canadian adult star has also signed Ekta Kapoor's 'Ragini MMS 2'.

Sunny has also signed her first brand endorsement in India. "Super exited to have featured in Chaze Mobile TVC… had an amazing time shooting for it… can’t wait to see it on air," she tweeted.

Anushka's cameo to heal Shah Rukh's broken heart

Yash Chopra is making a come back to direction after a long hiatus and he is doing everything possible to make the film a hit.
But there is also secrecy surrounding his comeback movie.
The title of the movie hasn't been decided yet, or maybe Yash Raj films is keeping it a secret and hasn't announced it to the media.
It is also reported that even the actors are not aware of the climax of the movie.
We all know that Katrina Kaif and Shah Rukh Khan are playing the lead role and now it is reported that Anushka Sharma is cast as the second lead in the movie.

But Times of India reports that Anushka's role is a bit of an extended cameo.

She is playing second fiddle because Aditya Chopra convinced her of the role being modeled on that of Rani Mukerji in 'Veer-Zaara'.

Her character will make an entry only in the second half of the film.

Anushka can never say no to Aditya whom she regards as her mentor and Yash Raj films had given her the big break in Bollywood.

In the movie Shah Rukh Khan confides in Anushka about his heartbreak.

Is Aishwarya Rai putting on more weight? Ash attended Mukesh Ambani's bash and looked in no hurry to shed her "mommy" weight



Postnatal weight is one thing that every women fights with after delivery. In general, mothers take it easy in the first month post-delivery but five months down the line they make sure that the extra flab is under control.
But what is happening to the once 'most beautiful lady in the world', Aishwarya Rai Bachchan?

Well, we know she is a dedicated mother who loves to take care of her daughter; we know she doesn't want to hurry up and face the camera. We know she is taking it easy, but there are some who say she is taking it too easy on her weight.



Ash has been increasingly making appearances at events, but there doesn't seem to be any size shift.

If at all, reports now indicate she has put on more weigh

Recently when industrialist Mukesh Ambani threw a party in honour of UN chief Ban Ki Moon, Aishwarya Rai attended the do with other Bollywood celebrities. When the camera lenses caught Ash it seemed she was sporting a few more kilos.

None of our business if she enjoys that flab. But what do fans, who are craving to see this charming lady back on screen, do?

We shudder to think how she might look on-screen in those anarkali-like dresses she has been wearing to all events. She still looks pretty - Ash bowled everyone at the Dubai World Cup.

Soon she will be seen gracing the red carpet at the Cannes film festival for the 11th time.

To hard core fashionistas Ash has never been her best at the Cannes and this year with all the weight around her it's going to be tough.

This larger than life image of pretty Aishwarya Rai takes some getting used to.

Fans want to see the slender Ash who made heads turn - not the Ash who makes the eyes go wide.

Ranbir & Katrina's love story on track? After a tough schedule away from Mumbai Ranbir meets Katrina




If once Bollywood's hot couple Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone are not together now it's because Ranbir couldn't resist the beautiful Katrina Kaif when the two acted together in 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani'.


Deepika dumped Ranbir and went straight into Sidharta Mallaya's arm. And Ranbir and Katrina were happy together but not for long. Katrina wanted a serious and dedicated man while the Kapoor boy kept looking for fresh pastures.

But their abrupt love story was bound to get back on track and this time they are more serious than ever.

Though there are reports of Deepika and Ranbir bonding well in the set of their movie ‘Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani’, sources says it's just friendship. Deepika maintains that she just shares a professional relationship with Ranbir.

He spent 20 odd days in Manali shooting but when Ranbir got back to Mumbai whom did he call first? The first person he calls up is Katrina Kaif.

He had to spend some time with Katrina immediately and the two met at a location in Pali Hill (Mumbai). This is the same evening Ranbir returned from Manali after a tough schedule.

Earlier this year Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif rocked Zee Cine Awards as the two set the stage afire with their performances.

Both have been single for a considerable amount of time and possibly the two have realised that they have something special.

This time around they don't even have the burden of broken relationships and so they don't have a reason to hide their relationship either.

This could possibly be a new chapter in Ranbir and Katrina's love story.

Salman inspiration for ‘Ishaqzaade’ Arjun Salman's 'Ek Tha Tiger' promo will be attached with ‘Ishaqzaade’


Yash Raj Films’ much awaited ‘Ishaqzaade’ is slated to release on May 11. The film has been in the news for quite some time because of its lead pair, newbies Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor.


While Parineeti has been highly appreciated for her role in ‘Ladies vs Ricky Bahl’, Arjun isn’t being exposed much to the media, in order to generate curiosity among the audience. Not to forget, the constant comparisons of the debutant to Abhishek Bachchan.



And now YRF has yet another plan that could work for the film.

Salman Khan’s ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ promo will be released along with ‘Ishaqzaade’. Now either ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ will benefit from ‘Ishaqzaade’ or vice versa, we don’t know. But this looks like a good move.

But wait, that’s not the only connection Salman has with newbie Arjun Kapoor. It was this ‘Dabangg’ Khan who inspired Boney Kapoor’s son Arjun, who earlier weighed 140 kgs, to lose weight and turn to acting.

Salman shares a cordial relation with the 26-year-old actor as he was the one who guided and insisted Arjun to become an actor who was earlier enjoying filmmaking by assisting filmmakers.

Arjun, weighing 140kg could never imagine himself as an actor. Salman literally took him under his wings. Arjun travelled with Salman for almost two years while he was working on 'Veer' and 'Wanted', and worked out with him.

The audience will look forward to ‘Ishaqzaade’ also to see the first look of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’. The film is being highly anticipated since it will see ex-lovers Salman and Katrina pair up on screen.

Now let’s see what both these films have in store for the audience.

Veena Malik in 'kissing' game with three guys Actress plays 'spin the bottle' and posts video on YouTube

Looks like all the controversy and publicity that racked up after the nude photo-shoot with FHM magazine was not enough for Veena Malik.
The Pakistani model and actress has now posted a video on YouTube where she is playing a spin the bottle with three guys.
Incidentally while playing the bottle stops spinning pointing towards Veena. Isn't that luck? Initially she chooses to tell the 'truth'. But when one of the guests asks her to tell them if Ashmit Patel is her boyfriend she dodged the question and decided to take up a 'dare' challenge.



Her three guests dare this daring actress to kiss the guy sitting on her right. She throws little bit of tantrums but was very evident she will give in. She planted a mock kiss on his lips. The whole act was certainly not very convincing and needed more re-takes.

Veena Malik is making use of all her spare time and posted this video on her own YouTube channel - Veena Malik Official.

Recently Veena revealed that she would pose nude for 'Playboy' for $1 million if she is offered to do so.

She has signed South remake of 'The Dirty Picture'. "I don't mind being titled as South's Vidya Balan," said Veena, who will also be seen in 'Supermodel' opposite Ashmit Patel.

Other projects in the pipeline are 'Daal Mein Kuch Kaala Hai', 'Zindagi 50-50' and 'Mumbai 125 km'. Her reality show 'Swayamwar' is in trouble as the channel which was supposed to telecast the show got shut down

Watch Priyanka and Shahid's love story In 'Teri Meri Kahaani', both actors will be seen in 3 different avatars over 3 time spans


Teri Meri Kahani' takes us through a journey of eternal love between a couple who have vowed to love each other, not only in this life but in every life to follow. Their love is so strong that even destiny wants to bring them together.


In the film 'Teri Meri Kahaani', both Shahid and Priyanka will be seen in three different avatars over three time spans — 1910, 1960 and 2012, akin to Three Times, which features three separate love stories chronologically set in 1911, 1966 and 2005, with actors, Shu Qi and Chang Chen. The 2005 Taiwanese film was a hit and won several awards.

However, Kohli says his film is different. “I have not seen the film (Three Times) to begin with, but someone told me about it while I was making the movie and I happened to read about it. But I would still say our film is completely different. It is just a coincidence,” he says.

As for the first trailer of Teri Meri Kahani, there seem to be a few sections that are somewhat similar to Shahid’s last film, 'Mausam', where the hero happens to meet the leading lady, actor Sonam Kapoor, in three different situations. But, according to Kohli, every love story has the basic element of love, meeting and parting ways in some way or the other.

Can Javed (Shahid Kapoor) and Aradhana (Priyanka Chopra) still be together? Will Ruksar realize that Govind’s feeling for her were genuine? Will Krish be able to clear his misunderstandings?

Will true love prevail? Or will destiny take its course! Watch Teri Meri Kahani, directed by Kunal Kohli, on 22nd June 2012 to find out.

Actor-filmmaker Arbaaz Khan says Kareena Kapoor has shown keen interest in doing a song in his upcoming film, 'Dabangg 2'.

Arbaaz his making his bedut as a director in this movie.

In 'Dabangg', Malaika Arora Khan gyrated to 'Munni Badnam Hui' which became a superhit item number in recent times.

"We do have a song in 'Dabangg 2' but it is too premature to talk about it. We would like to call it a popular song rather than an item song. Once we have recorded the song then we can take a decision accordingly about it," said Arbaaz.

"I am in conversation with Kareena about the song. She too is keen on doing it. We would be happy if she would do the song," he said.

"Principally we have agreed but nothing is on paper. We need to work out things like availability and all," he added

Dabangg 2', a sequel to 2010 action flick 'Dabangg', stars Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha in the lead.

The shooting for 'Dabangg 2' is underway and it is expected to release by the end of the year.

Hindustan Times reports, "We have completed one schedule and will begin another tomorrow. We expect to release it by the end of the year," Arbaaz said.

After Ranbir, Deepika Katrina fight over SRK Rohit Shetty is yet to confirm his leading lady for 'Chennai Express'

Rohit Shetty's 'Chennai Express' with Shah Rukh Khan is one of the 'hottest' films to watch out for.
But who will be romancing SRK as his leading lady? There was lot of deliberation regarding the casting of the leading lady.
If reports are to be believed Shah Rukh wants Katrina Kaif on board who is already his co-star in the untitled Yash Raj movie. The actor seems to be impressed by the lady who currently seems to be SRK's co-star of choice.

Ever since they started working together on Yash Chopra's untitled film, Shah Rukh has been openly praising Katrina.

The two actors share sizzling chemistry in Chopra's film, and Shah Rukh obviously would like to repeat Katrina.


Recently, he is said to have recommended Katrina for Farah Khan's upcoming film, 'Happy New Year' as well.

But director Rohit Shetty is said to be considering Deepika Padukone for reasons related to availability of dates. If all goes well Rohit wants to start shoot in August and incidentally Katrina has her hands and dates full during that period.

Katrina has committed dates to the Yash Raj's 'Dhoom 3' with Aamir Khan. She is likely to begin shooting for the film during the same period as Rohit's film starts. She is also wrapping up Yash Chopra's comeback venture as a director opposite Shah Rukh at the same time. Also she has to give dates for the promotion of her Salman Khan-starrer, 'Ek Tha Tiger', which releases in August during Eid.

However, Deepika is readily willing to allot dates for the film that will let her reunite on screen for the first time since her debut blockbuster of 2007, 'Om Shanti Om'.

Rohit Shetty is not willing to wait for Katrina's dates, however, 'Chennai Express', is SRK's home production.

So we wait and watch who has the upper hand- the director or the producer in choosing their leading lady.

Khan has kept the plot secret but he was quoted in local media on Saturday as saying the show is "a journey of discovery, of change, of emotions and of human stories which touch and inspire us."

"My dream is to impact lives," said Khan, 47, who has also produced the show.

The programme will be aired on state-run Doordarshan late morning on Sunday, a slot which most families in India remember for serials based on Hindu epics which would bring the entire country virtually to a standstill.

Khan's show has been creating a buzz even before the first episode, thanks to a novel promotional cross-country campaign in which the actor mingled with locals and shared their meals.

Its teasers suggest the content is likely to tug at heartstrings of average Indians, who are struggling to make ends meet with salaries failing to keep pace with soaring prices.Khan has made a name for himself as one of the Indian film industry's leading actor-producer-directors, combining offbeat subjects with high-quality production.

He is credited with awakening Indians' consciousness with the Bollywood blockbuster "Rang De Basanti", "Colour it Saffron", a film that showed the youth take to the streets and revolt against endemic corruption.

The 2006 movie is believed to have fed the anti-corruption movement by social activist Anna Hazare who drew tens of thousands to his protest rallies last year.

Khan also produced "Peepli Live" -- a biting satire about the poverty divide between rural and urban India and the problem of farmer suicides.

Another of Khan's big hits, "Three Idiots," exhorted youngsters to take up careers of their choice and not get burdened by their parents' expectations.

Many predict the show will be a runaway success, given Khan's popularity.

"If there is anyone who can pull this show off, it's Aamir Khan," said social commentator and Indian advertising guru Santosh Desai.
