Mahesh Bhatt's son Rahul Bhatt is in Ludhiana for Aamir Khan's physical training in Nitesh Tiwari's Dangal. The invitation, says a source, came directly from Aamir. "He knows Rahul from the time he (Rahul) was a child hanging around on his dad Mahesh Bhatt Saab's set of Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin. Rahul grew up to be one of the finest physical trainers in Mumbai. So when Aamir needed to develop two distinct body types for his wrestler's character, he immediately thought of Rahul," says a source close to Dangal. Rahul flew off to Ludhiana where he is stationed along with Aamir Khan in the Radisson hotel where Aamir is stationed. Says the source, "Aamir trains with Rahul for approximately 90 minutes every day. It is very intense training. The rigorous exercises involve Myofibril-based strength work-outs. Aamir Khan is first training with Rahul for his bulky look when his character is 45-years old.

Pooja Bhatt and Aamir Khan starred in Mahesh Bhatt's Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin. They never came together again. Never saw eye-to-eye. Now with Aamir condemning the 'Roast' with Karan Johar, Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, Pooja has spoken up against Aamir. Pooja's sister Alia Bhatt was also present at the Roast. Says Pooja, "FIRs have been filed against us film artistes from time-immemorial. Everyone from Raj Kapoor to Ismat Chugtai has faced it. I've faced it. Now it's my sister Alia and others' turn. One needs to take it in one's stride and not give in or cave in. Finally justice will prevail. I singlehandedly fought an obscenity case against my film Rog for ten long lonely years. It was frustrating. But I did not yield. Ultimately my patience paid off and I got justice. As for Aamir Khan's stance against the Roast, Aamir needs to remember that old adage.

So for Valentine’s Day we present what we think is Romance Bollyishstyle!
The One with the Tune and the Recording
We could not pick just one scene from the great Dil Toh Pagal Hai starring Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Karishma Kapoor and Akshay Kumar. However, the two that stand out for our writers are:
That moment when Madhuri and Shah Rukh are in adjoining changing rooms in a clothing store, and Madhuri hears him whistle a tune. She later hears it again and knows it was meant to be!

Pooja Bhatt, one of India’s finest film makers, has made her way into the Limca Book of Records. Two films that were produced by Pooja, Paap and Rog, were the first films from Hindi cinema to have their world premiere in Pakistan, during the Kara Film Festival in 2003 and 2004 respectively.
Paap starred John Abraham and introduced Udita Goswami, while Rog was directed by Himanshu Bhrambhatt. Both films were produced by Pooja’s banner Fish Eye Network.
We spoke exclusively to Pooja earlier, and she told us just how much this achievement means to her: “Paap has been a true example of a synergy between India & Pakistan at a time when relations between both countries were cold to say the least. How can you separate the music of Paap-Ali Azmat’s Garaj Baras & Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s Mann Ki Lagan from the film itself? Hence my decision...

Bad is good for Mahesh Bhatt's son. The title that Pooja Bhatt had chosen for the bio-pic on Charles Sobhraj is now being used for Pooja's brother Rahul Bhatt's launch film. Mahesh Bhatt's son Rahul Bhatt, long in a state of anxious waiting for his movie career to start, is finally getting ready for his big launch. Rahul's debut film to be entitled Bad will be produced by Rahul's sister Pooja Bhatt. Confirming these developments, Pooja says, "The script is being worked on. We will decide the director once the script is done." Interestingly, Bad was the title that Pooja Bhatt had chosen for the film based on Charles Sobhraj's Tihar jailbreak that Prawal Raman was directing for her. Prawal and Pooja had a fall-out. Pooja quit the project and took away the title. Bad, according to sources, would feature Rahul Bhatt in a grey role.

Queen of Bollywood, Queen of Hearts, Dil Ki Rani are just some of the words synonymous with Rani Mukerji. She debuted back in 1996 with the film Raja Ki Aayegi Baarat, which tanked at the box office. People started writing her off even before she emerged. But then came the turning points of her career, in the form of Ghulam and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in 1998, and she proved that she’s here to stay. While Ghulam gave her the title of ‘Khandala Girl’, while Kuch Kuch Hota Hai made people take notice of this amazing actor who had the ability and talent to stand her own ground in front of superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. She went onto win lots of accolades for both her films and there was no turning back. With her impeccable talent and infectious spontaneity, she ruled the industry and people’s hearts for several years.

"At my now regular haunt-court. Waiting for an order on an obscenity case for the poster of my film Rog which has a Noc from all concerned," Pooja tweeted Tuesday.
"Even though producers procure an Noc from their association and the censor board for all publicity material they still get dragged to court,"she further tweeted.

Pooja Bhatt's Jism 2 may quite literally have shocked the Indian audience with none other than Sunny Leone playing the lead role in the film. Now working on the third installment in the Jism franchise, Pooja has apparently roped in Maldivian crooner Unoosha, aka Kiddy, for the film's music.
Unoosha who is currently in the city recorded a track yesterday, August 27, at Tanay Studios. With this, Unoosha becomes the first individual from Maldives to be associated with Bollywood.
While the track in question will also feature Ali Azmat and K.K. with lyrics about making new beginnings, the song titled 'Kahaan Se Karen Shuru, Yahaan Se' and is composed by Arko Pravo Mukherjee.

Easily one of the most awaited films of the year, Raanjhanaa captured our interests from the unconventional pairing of Sonam Kapoor and Dhanush, and Abhay Deol and the earthy tones from A.R.Rahman’s songs. Anand L Rai’s fourth feature after the sleeper hit, Tanu Weds Manu, looks to be an interesting and swooning love story especially through its gorgeous music. A.R.Rahman was so moved by the script of the film that he immediately agreed to sign up and do the background score for this love story, which can only mean good things for its prospects as an awaited summer movie. Raanjhanaa has been quite the lucky project for Rahman after the mixed reviews for his previous Hindi soundtracks for Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Ekk Deewana Tha. Yet, if detractors have pointed to a slump in Rahman’s output, then this soundtrack firmly proves his...

Memory lane has a special place for our firsts. Each of them represents an age, an era and an experience. From my first tooth to my first bruise, my first day at school to my first belly flop into the pool, they are all there. Some are protected by a forgetful mind but they are there. They make the identity we create in life. For example, a part of my identity is Bollyspice. Like all the writers here at Bollyspice. How does this link to the title? Well, Bollywood’s love affair with first loves and the release of Bombay Talkies is what prompted the title of this piece actually.

Mumbai, Dec 21: Actor-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt says there was no question of her brother's presence in the cast of erotic genre film "Jism 2", because he prefers action roles over anything else.
"He (Rahul) sees himself as more of a Sunny Deol kind of a person. He is more of an action hero in that capacity," Pooja said here.
"There were a lot of rumours that Rahul is in 'Jism 2', but there was no chance that he would have been in 'Jism 2' because it is not in his temperament. He is not the kind of guy who would want to be in an erotic film. He is a different kind of a guy," she added.
Rahul, a fitness trainer, last appeared in.

The film that will be forever branded into the memories of British Indians of my generation is Kabhi Kabhie (Sometimes …). Released in 1976, it made a massive splash in India and then drenched every Vcr-owning Indian household on the planet. And it's probably the best example of Chopra's genius taste in music: the theme song would be hummed by millions for decades to come. It is the tale of two beautiful young people – Amit, played by Amitabh Bachchan, and Pooja, played by Rakhee Gulzar – whose love is thwarted by her arranged marriage to another man, played by Sashi Kapoor. Amit and Pooja nonetheless forge a deep and sexless friendship that fulfils them without...

Pooja knows it. "Helenji with her ingrained dancers' dexterity would be my ideal cabaret girl. I am looking for someone who could match her grace. Can we turn back the clock so that Helenji can do my film? The leading lady in Cabaretis an exotic cabaret dancer. Mind you, she isn't an 'item girl'. I find that terminology rather offensive." After Pooja finds the girl who can play the dancer in Cabaret, the chosen one would have to undergo intense training in cabaret dancing. Says Pooja, "There are enormously elaborate dance numbers in Cabaret. The girl would have to train intensely. She has to be a natural dancer.

Mumbai, India -- It stars a hard-core adult film actress and has a title that would appear to leave little to the imagination. But it's not a porn movie – Bollywood is certainly not ready for that.
"Jism 2" – the word means "body" in Hindi language – will be released across India on Friday, promising to be one of the most graphic films in Bollywood history. It shows no frontal nudity – government censors monitoring a film industry that long refused to show onscreen kissing would never clear that. But with its oil massages and fantastic lingerie, the film is pushing the ever-widening sexual boundaries enjoyed by many in urban India.
At the same time, growing sexual freedom has sparked a backlash by traditionalists who have torn down its risque poster, led a crackdown on bars in Mumbai and even advocated an informal curfew for women.
First, a few words about the movie's title.

Sunny Leone may be in news for her steamy love-making scenes with co-stars Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh in her debut film Jism 2. But if you thought that the adult film star had no apprehensions about shooting such intimate scenes, well you are mistaken. Apparently Sunny (in spite of being a porn star) had certain reservations about shooting intimate scenes with Randeep and Arunoday without seeing their medical certificates. Sunny even shot an e-mail to her director Pooja Bhatt asking her to show the medical certificates of Randeep and Arunoday just to play safe. In return, Sunny even sent her own medical certificate. However Pooja explained to her in clear terms that she couldn't agree to her demands as it's not the norm in Bollywood to demand for medical certificates of co-actors. Finally, Sunny had no option but to go ahead with what her director said.

When you are making a bold film like Jism 2 which marks the debut of adult star Sunny Leone, you are bound to have some issues with the Censor Board. The same happened with director of the film Pooja Bhatt when she showed the film to the Censor Board of Film Certification (Cbfc) yesterday evening.
The Cbfc saw Jism 2 and found the film too bold to even give an A certificate in its current form and asked Pooja Bhatt to dilute the love-making scenes by at least 50% and come back for a review. The Cbfc felt that the love-making scenes featuring Sunny Leone were too long and couldn't be cleared even with an A certificate. There are apparently four such scenes in the film.
Pooja, who is left with no choice, now plans to introduce close-ups wherever wide angles have been used in the scenes in question and then...

Ever since it was announced, Pooja Bhatt's directorial venture Jism 2 has been making waves. The film, which marks the Bollywood debut of Indo-Canadian adult film star Sunny Leone, also stars Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh. While the film is just a few days away from completion, the latest buzz is that Sunny Leone's voice in the film will be dubbed by none other than Pooja Bhatt herself. Apparently, papa Mahesh Bhatt felt that it would be better in the interest of the film if they dubbed Sunny's voice and since Pooja herself has been so closely associated with the film as writer-director, he suggested her to dub for Sunny. Pooja would be dubbing for Sunny's character Izna in Jism 2.

The auction will include Sunny, Randeep and Arunoday's entire wardrobe for charity. Before the release of her movie, Pooja wants to auction all the costumes online. If that wasn't enough each of the items auctioned will be accompanied by an autographed photo of the artiste and a certificate of authentication. With this development, we think taking one's clothes off has never been so noble.
