Filed under Entertainment

The long talks between the Bollywood damsel Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shankar for the Rajnikant dream project ROBOT have finally reached to a conclusion leading Aish to sign the movie for which she is being paid mind boggling money estimated to be around six crores making her the actress to be paid maximum ever in the Bollywood history. The project being produced by Ayngaran international, is supposed to start off in the last week of August after a small pooja, as opposed to the first week of June, as plans originally, due to some problems.

Considering the whopping amount being given to Ash, date problem could not have been an issue for this star struck actress and as considered, she has offered bulk dates to the producer. Lately being in the news for the Bachchan parivaar’s “Unforgettable World Tour” which is being organized by Wiz craft and starring a list of some A-list bollywood celebrities, Aishwarya now sure has become every actresses’ envy. The world tour, which is to begin on July 6th is almost a two months long event after which the Bachchan bahu is goin to start off with her Robot.

In the meanwhile, till the time Aish covers the world tour, Shankar is planning to shoot a song for his movie which does not require her presence. As the lady finishes the family professional tour, she would again be globe trotting with the crew of Robot, as Shankar plans the shooting of his dream project all around the world.

Her recent release, Ram Gopal Verma’s sequel to his hit Sarkar, Sarkar Raj, also brought accolades to the actress where she was seen with her new family, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and the hubby dear Abhishek Bachchan. With all the new big projects falling in her kitty, be it Hollywood or Bollywood, Aishwarya is sure in her best face of the Bollywood career, but now the question lies, is all this sudden luck, the Bachchan charm or is it her self made status and her hard work which has made her the maximum paid actress?? Whatever be the reasons, Best of luck for her career……

Abhi-Ash to celebrate wedding anniversary in Miami!

Filed under Entertainment

Abhishek Bachchan Aishwarya Rai BachchanThe hot Bollywood couple Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will celebrate their first wedding anniversary in Miami on April 20. Abhishek is there shooting for Dharma Productions ‘Dostana’ and Aishwarya is going to be with him.

“Not that they planned so. It just happened,” says Amitabh Bachchan.

Abhishek-Aishwarya marriage was one of the grand weddings of last year and the two are the hottest pair in Bollywood. Media was kept away from their wedding occasion and very close relatives and friends were invited to give their blessings to the couple. The pair will however be available to Mumbai media through a new technology ‘skyscape’ from Miami.

‘We’ll get them by a new technology called skyscape to speak from Miami to media persons in Mumbai at the launch of ‘Sarkar Raj’ - which happens to be on the same evening as their wedding anniversary,’ he said.

Ram Gopal Varma, the director of ‘Sarkar Raj’ said that it was just a coincidence that the unveiling of his film will take place the same day.

‘I didn’t even remember it was Abhishek and Aishwarya’s wedding anniversary on April 20. We decided to do the First Look party of ‘Sarkar Raj’ on this day because it was six weeks before the release,’ said Verma.

Excited Ramu said, “This is the first time the actors of an Indian film will be connected to the media via satellite. We’re doing it through a technology known as skyscape. I think it’s very exciting to reach out by modern technology in this way. Aishwarya and Abhishek will be live from Miami in Mumbai.”

However, Big B will be present at the Mumbai event.

When Ramu was told that the wedding anniversary may overtake the ‘Sarkar Raj’ event, he declined the fear saying that it doesn’t matter.

“We cannot separate Abhishek and Aishwarya’s life from ‘Sarkar Raj’. Very soon after the First-Look event we’ll have the music release. T-Series is releasing the music soundtrack.” He said

Ram Gopal Verma sent a legal notice!

Filed under Entertainment

Ram Gopal VermaA legal notice is sent by Noida Police to Bollywood filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma alleging him cheating Super Cassette Industries Pvt Ltd, the maker of T-Series brand of audio and video cassettes and getting a loss of Rs. 15 million.

On the company’s complaint a criminal case was filed against the film maker at the Sector 20 police station of Noida and a notice is sent on Saturday by investigation officer Narendra Kumar Sharma asking him to appear before the officer within 7 days of the notice.

Neeraj Kalyan, an official of Super Cassette Industries complaint that Varma on June 13, 2006 signed an agreement with the company selling the rights of his upcoming 14 films at the Film City Noida on a Rs.100 non-judicial stamp paper. Verma clearly stated in the papers that all rights, including marketing, publicity and realization of outstanding money and even copyright of his new films have been given to Super Cassette Industries. He stated that the 14 films, including, “Nishabd”, “Aag” and “Darwaja Band Rakho”, would be the sole proprietorship of Super Cassette.

As par the agreement company invested Rs.14 million on a film produced by Varma, which incurred heavy losses. But in anticipation of recovering the loss in the other films, the company continued to invest in his new ventures. But Varma, breaching the contract, signed up with another company to realise the outstanding cash of his new ventures from the market.

When interrogated by the company officials about the matter Verma clearly denied and assured them that he would abide by the old agreement. But after giving public notices in newspaper stating the agreement details between the company and Ram Gopal Verma, the truth is disclosed.

Verma signed on ADLABS to realise all payments from the market, including the copyrights of the films after terminating the old agreement with Super Cassette.

No clarification on the issue is given by Ram Gopal Verma yet.
