Get ready for Item Girl Kareena's 'Halkat Jawani'

Actress Kareena Kapoor, who has lately been doing many item numbers in Bollywood, is gearing up for her next item song in Madhur Bhandarkar's "Heroine". 

"We have a new item song called 'Halkat Jawani' which is a wonderful song that will be picturised on Kareena Kapoor. I am sure the audiences will love this song. This film 'Heroine' will be a different sort of film for Kareena Kapoor, " Bhandarkar told. 

Directed by Bhandarkar, the film has Kareena and Arjun Rampal in the lead.

The director says 40 percent of the shooting has been done.

"Forty percent of the film has been finished. From (April) 10th, we will again have a nonstop shooting and by September the film will be released, " he said.

Bhandarkar also sought to deny speculation that the film is based on Manisha Koirala's life.

"This film is not based on Manisha Koirala. It is absolutely wrong. Lot of things had been written about the film before. I have created a character called Mahi Arora who is today's girl. The film is all about how she witnesses the ups and downs in her life, " he said.

First Look: Hot Rozlyn Khan strips for breast cancer awareness!

Move over Poonam Pandey, Sherlyn Chopra, Sunny Leone and starlet Veena Malik! Actress Rozlyn Khan is here! 

While Poonam, Sunny, Veena and Sherlyn strip mostly to titillate, the new glam sensation Rozlyn has gone topless this week; all for a cause. 

Spreading awareness for the early detection and cure of a serious malady like breast cancer, Rozlyn has proved that she can beat the exposure girls by being a woman of substance. 

"There are so many women who die just because they are unaware of the symptoms of the dreaded disease.

Through my campaign to spread awareness about breast cancer, I want to inform and educate all to be cautious and careful, " says Rozlyn, almost giving a new meaning to nudity.

"Early detection of breast cancer increases the chances of saving lives and that’s what I intend to achieve from this campaign. Even if I manage to spread the word to a few thousand, I'd be more than contended with it, " she adds with a glint in her eyes. 


To mount the awareness campaign on a large scale, the budding actress would be joining hands with a cancer association to promote the cause and will announce more details next week.

We like it girl. At least, there is someone who strips for a noble cause and not just to satisfy ogling Twitterati!

After Sunny Leone, meet B-town's latest import, Lauren Gottlieb

Bollywood's newest foreign import, dancer Lauren Gottlieb starts taking lessons in Hindi

American dancer Lauren Gottlieb, who is all set to act in Remo D'Souza's next film is on a strict prep mode. As she is required to mouth Hindi dialogues in her Bollywood debut, Remo has found her a coach to teach her the language. 

Speaking about Lauren, who participated in the US show So You Think You Can Dance in 2007, our source reveals, "Lauren has decided to keep the coach for a while to help her get better with the language. 

As soon as she came to Mumbai, 10 days back, she started her lessons and everyday for about an hour, she spends time with her coach." 

The 23-year-old dancer is so smitten by the language that she keeps practicing on the sets and off. The source adds further, "Lauren is constantly practising her Hindi.

She has asked people to talk to her in Hindi on the sets so that she can get a hang of the language faster. The moment her rehearsals end, she is back at her hotel where she sits with her coach. It is difficult for her to learn a new language but she is determined to get better.

She is showing great improvement and by the time her dialogue portions are needed to be filmed, she will be quite fluent." The dancer-turned-actress says, "Yes, I do have a coach who is helping me to learn Hindi. I have to say some dialogues in Hindi and I want to do it well."

Kolaveri is no poetry. It is just silly words: Dhanush

Last Week Dhanush performed live in Mumbai, his first stage performance. 

Says the actor shyly, “Earlier I had sung a song for my brother filmmaker Selvaraghavan’s audio release. That’s my only live performance so far. I wasn’t nervous about performing on Sunday. 

If I was a professional singer I’d worry. But I’m an amateur, so it didn’t matter if I went off-key. ”

Now this week Dhanush took Kolkata by storm. 

Says Dhanush humbly, “Kolkata was a great experience. It was an overwhelming experience. ” 

Next, Dhanush will perorm live in Delhi. 

Says the humble grateful star-singer, “God has been very kind to me. I had a great year. I couldn’t have asked for more. Now I’m just going to focus on shooting the song for my wife’s film. Let’s see where it goes from there. It will be shot in the first week of January. ”

Dhanush’s wife Aishwarya is directing him in 3. And the song Kolaveri di is already a big hit. “It seems the song has become bigger than the film. But the film has a solid and novel script. Once people see the film they’ll see the song as just a part of the narration. ”

Dhanush is refreshingly matter-of-fact about Kolaveri. “It’s just a song. Just a phase. It will pass. I am one of those people who don’t know how to speak proper English. But I manage. 

Speaking the English language was initially a huge problem for me, so I knew how to connect with people like me. I knew what words to choose so that they connect with people who are not fluent in English. ” 

Dhanush has no illusions about the quality of the lyrics. “It’s not poetry. Whatever silly words came to my mind I used it in the song. 

It’s just like any composition, nothing special A group of us gen-next kids me, Shruti Haasan, my wife Aishwarya and the composer Annirudh were open to ideas.

The tune was done in twenty minutes. As soon as I heard the song the words simply came to my mind spontaneously. I wanted the words to be understood by everybody regardless of whether they know English or not. ”
