Vidhu Vinod Chopra going for Akshay Kumar
Our photographer Paresh Gandhi caught the director in New York to promote his latest film.
Chopra badly wants a hit and is planning to make a quick commercial so that he can make some moolah. And he wants to cash in on Akshay Kumar's dream run. It seems that at a recent party held to celebrate the success of Singh Is Kinng, the producer director, stuck close to Akshay all through the evening and kept lavishing him with compliments about his performance in the film. He is then believed to have given Akshay a drop home so that he could talk about his project. Of course, one is yet to know, if Akshay has fallen for the bait. We are sure it will be quite tough as the actor is swamped by offers and is quite heavily booked for a while. But Vidhu needs a sure fire hit right, and he seems to have settled on Akshay as his best Hero.

Katrina Has to face Bipasha War
She is also very upset with some media houses spreading stories on her and Deepika Padukone's "animosity". But she admits there is a problem with Katrina unlike Kareena, Deepika and Minissha.
But there is a problem with Katrina Kaif with whom she acted in Race? The buzz was that they didn't talk to each other at all during the film's shooting. Bipasha admits, "Yes there is a problem between Katrina and me. We didn't speak during Race but that never stopped shooting.
If she met Kareena or Katrina at a social event would she be cordial and greet them warmly? "I could walk up to Kareena and do that; but no, I can't do that with Katrina. There is an awkwardness between Katrina and me. We don't talk to each other." Bipasha was here with her co-stars and director Siddharth Anand to promote the film that traces the journey of a young boy from the age of 18 to 30.
In the film, Bipasha plays an aspiring actress who travels to Mumbai from Ranchi to fulfil her dreams but ends up working with Shiamak Davar's dance troupe. The character in the film is just like me. Radhika works and keeps her relationship going simultaneously. The role is very contemporary. She is an effortless dresser. She wears shorts and vests and uses all kinds of funky bags and accessories.

Soha cries for “Mumbai Meri Jaan”
But there was a scene in the film when she has to breakdown emotionally on the death of her fiancée. Director Nishikant Kamat wanted Soha to give her emotional best but despite her continued efforts, she wasn't able to cry the way the director wanted her too.
Is Payal Rohatgi A “item girl”
The actress who was last seen in the 2007 movie "Dhol" is Payal Rohatgi will now be sharing screen space with the likes of Irrfan Khan and Konkana Sen Sharma in the upcoming film Dil Kabaddi.
“After Dhol, she was getting offers for item songs. But I did not want to do those because I did not want to be known as an item girl. Payal stay off the big screen for almost a year I do not come from that sensibility. After Dhol , the best script that was offered to me was Dil Kabaddi. I have to move up from what I was doing”, says Payal.
“The film falls in the genre of relationships. It is about marriage. It is about the adultery we commit in marriage without even being aware of it. It is all about emotions and mind games. But there is nothing evil in it”, says Payal about the film.
Gushing details about her role Payal said, “I play Kaya in the film. I am opposite Irrfan Khan in the film. I am playing as his girl friend. She creates excitement in the life of Irrfan Khan who is already married to Soha Ali Khan. I am playing an aerobic instructor in the film. Apart from looking good, it is a good chunk of a role.”
With Rahul Bose, Kay Kay Menon and Konkana Sen Sharma for company, Payal’s acting skills will surely climb a notch higher. Ok best of luck for Payal Rohatgi after one year gap
