As for not caring to embrace her past character once more, Angelina told,"I felt like that's kind of how I wanted to do it, and I don't really feel the need to do another one."

Is Bipasha Basu annoyed with the first look of ‘Dum Maro Dum’?



Since the time the title track of Rohan Sippy’s Dum Maro Dum picturized on Deepika Padukone came into conception, it has constantly generated controversies. First it was Dev Anand who accused the makers of not having contacted him about the rights of the song from his 1970s blockbuster Hare Rama Hare Krishna. Then, the Goan Government accused the song of portraying Goa as a place associated with drugs and mafia.

Now, the latest accusation comes from the leading lady of the movie, Bipasha Basu, who is apparently annoyed because the makers of the film have chosen Deepika grooving to the song for the first look of the film instead of Bips. Reports also have it that when Bipasha learnt about the poster she was not very happy and called Rohan Sippy who explained his promotional strategy to her.

Rohan Sippy explained, “Deepika is doing a title song of the film. On the teaser poster you can hardly recognise Deepika. It’s brand Dum Maaro Dum and Bipasha is the female lead of the film. But I guess that’s what happens with guest numbers and with iconic songs.”

when asked. Bipasha denied any controversy of any sort and said, “I was the first one to tweet about the first look of DMD because I loved it and am super excited about our film. Deepika is a super dancer and has done total justice to our song. There are no controversies here.”

Ranbir Kapoor & Katrina Kaif to romance as the warrior & princess



Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif created sparks with their superb on-screen chemistry in ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’ and ‘Rajneeti’. Their off-screen romance has also been a favorite among gossip columns. The two are going to team up once again, this time for Rajamouli’s remake of Telugu original Magadheera. The original flick had Ram Charan Teja and Kajal Aggarwal as the lead pair. The film will be produced by Madhu Mantena (producer of Ghajini) and so, it was very obvious when Aamir Khan’s name stood up as the first choice, followed by Hrithik Roshan and then Shahid Kapoor, and finally zeroing in on Ranbir Kapoor.

For the movie, Ranbir will have to undergo rigorous physical training to get in shape as the storyline of the film is about a warrior who protects the princess of his kingdom, only to be killed and born again 400 years later to take his revenge. It’s essentially a love story between the warrior and the princess.
