Abhishe Deepika now as Dons of Chittagong

Zoom into flashback mode and discover a duo of dons, molls and the underbelly of the underworld set in the 1970s, with ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI. Delve further and...you'll be rewarded with KHELEIN HUM JEE JAAN SEY, a period thriller based on the Chittagong Uprising Of the 1930s, helmed by Ashutosh Gowariker and patterned on the book 'Do And Die' by Manini Chatterjee.


Abhishek Bachchan and Deepika Padukone pair up under the hawk eyed guidance of Gowariker to unveil a saga of grit and defiant bravery, slated to illumine cinemas on December 3, 2010.

Once Abhishek Bachchan enacting Surjya Sen and Deepika Padukone essaying Kalpana Dutta had been pencilled into the project, the search was on through extensive auditions to rope in artistes who could imbibe and reflect the very essence of each of Sen's team of revolutionaries, bringing these forgotten patriots to life on screen. Their role in the uprising was defined by their personalities, which were varying in attributes.

Surjya Sen with his team of revolutionaries led the attack on five centres of British power in the town of Chittagong (then a part of undivided India) on the night of 18th April, 1930. The revolutionaries complemented Surjya Sen's leadership and each became an integral part of the attack.

The intense Nirmal Sen (Sikander Kher), the fiery Anant Singh (Maninder Singh), the rebellious Ganesh Ghosh (Samrat Mukherjee), the passionate Pritilata Waddadar (Vishakha Singh), the righteous Kalpana Dutta (Deepika Padukone), the idealistic Surjya Sen (Abhishek Bachchan), the meticulous Ambika Chakraborty (Shreyas Pandit) and the enigmatic Lokenath Bal (Feroze Wahid Khan) are all part of this period film.

Salman will work with Deepika

Salman Khan is not keen to share screen space with his ex-flame Katrina Kaif again. News is doing the rounds that he has opted for Deepika Padukone instead of Katrina Kaif for the remake of South Indian film, ‘Bodyguard’. Salman Khan’s brother-in-law, Atul Kulkarni is going to remake the film in Hindi. He suggested Kat’s name for the film but Salman wants to have Deepika on the board.

A source says, "Salman is keen on working with Deepika. He feels they will look good on screen. When Atul suggested Katrina's name, he shot it down saying the project needed a fresh pairing. He's watched the original and thought Deepika would fit the role perfectly."

In the past, Deepika had the opportunity to work with Sallu in Anees Bazmee’s ‘Ready’ but later Asin stepped in.

Salman and Katrina last starred in ‘Yuvraaj' which was a flop.

Deepika and Ranbir clashes again

Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor might be trying to get back together one more time, but it seems the spark of love is missing in their attempt.

After their much talked about break-up, Ranbir and Deepika patched up recently and wanted to give their relationship another chance. While both Deepika and Ranbir are serious about this, but something seems to be going terribly wrong between them.

Now, the latest reports reveal that Deepika wants a commitment from Ranbir Kapoor while Ranbir wants to remain single. This new twist in the tale is making matters worse yet again. There are reports that the two are having regular fights these days. No one exactly knows what Ranbir-Deepika are headed for eventually.

Well, let's hope things between Ranbir and Deepika are sorted at the earliest.

Deepika loves karan and Yash Raj Films

Deepika Padukone may be doing different kinds of films currently. This year itself she has had a psychological thriller (KARTHIK CALLING KARTHIK) and a comedy (HOUSEFULL) to her credit with an action entertainer (LAFANGEY PARINDEY), a musical love story BREAK KE BAAD) and period drama (KHELEIN HUM JEE JAAN SEY) arriving before end of year. However, it is the genre of 'feel good' films that she truly loved during her growing up years.


When questioned about the kind of genre that interests her most as an audience, Deepika said, 'I grew up watching films by the likes of Adi (Aditya Chopra), Karan Johar and Yash Chopra. These are the kind of films that I really loved. Then when I grew a little older, there were films like DIL CHAHTA HAI which I really loved. Cinema had started changing and accordingly the taste also changed.' 

Watching feel good or cool films isn't something which is restricted only to Deepika. Her parents too share a similar mindset, as revealed by Deepika. 'My mother always says that there is anyway so much tension in one's life with a lot of things happening all around you, so why not watch a film which makes you feel good. With my family, I have loved watching films that had no killings or murders happening.'

However, when it comes to picking roles, she is not restricting herself to only those films that personally interest her most as an audience. 'I would not combine the two,' she smiles, 'I won't say that I will do only those films which I personally love to watch. If I do that, I will only end up getting restricted and slotted.'

Sonam and Deepika fights

The cold war between Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone has got two degrees colder.

Now, reports suggest that Sonam Kapoor has walked out of a film when she learnt that Deepika Padukone is also part of the star cast.

The cold war between Sonam and Deepika dates back to SAAWARIYA days when there were rumours linking Sonam with Ranbir. Later Deepika and Ranbir were going steady before they broke up some time back.

Now, that Ranbir is no longer with Deepika, the cold war between the two actresses still continues. Deepika and Sonam can't see each other eye-to-eye.

For the moment the frozen chemistry between the two has no hopes of revival.
