I need Aamir and Shahrukh together : Karan

The distant dream of seeing the two reigning superstars of Bollywood (for almost two decades now), Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan together on-screen may soon get accomplished. As our prolific and visionary filmmaker, Karan Johar has expressed the desire to the cast the duo in his film (in near future).

Lately at the music launch of Aamir Khan's much touted film PEEPLI [LIVE], KJo, who was there to grace the event, revealed, "Aamir Khan is a very good actor. I would love to do a film with Shahrukh Khan and him."

Aamir Khan was also positive on doing a film with Karan Johar.

"Why not? I think Karan is a very talented director. I would love to work with him. If there is a good story for me and if Karan also feels that I fit the role, I will do it," said the perfectionist.

It can be recalled that the Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan have come together on screen only once in Ashutosh Gowariker's directorial debut, PEHLA NASHA. But those were merely cameos.

Now that it comes from someone like Karan Johar, you can bet that they aren't just words and the project will materialize. Let's hope that it happens soon.

I am on top : Sameera Reddy

Sameera Reddy could well believe that she has had a new phase kick starting in her career. Though majority are aware about the controlled and impressive performance she has given in last weekend's release RED ALERT - THE WAR WITHIN, not many know that this is not the only reason for her feeling joyous. That's because on the same Friday, her Malayalam film ORU NAAL VARUM with none other than Mohan Lal also opened. That's not all as the film is a commercial success.

"It has been one crazy weekend and I have loved every moment of it", says Sameera who is indeed ecstatic about the turn of events, "I was on phone the entire day and congratulatory calls were pouring in for both RED ALERT and ORU NAAL VARUM. After a while, I just started enjoying the good words rather than keep track of who was congratulating me for which film."

After the hat trick of successful films in the form of RACE, DE DANA DAN and ONE TWO THREE, Sameera now has two new films of hers which have got her attention all over again.

"Both my new releases were performance oriented films and hence the response this time was very different from what it was in case of DE DANA DAN or RACE", says Sameera, "RED ALERT was pretty offbeat while this Malayalam film was about divorce and pain that comes with it. It was Priyan who had requested me to do this film and I am glad I did it. I am told by the director that it is a hit. This film is special because it has also got a social message.

Well, same is the case with 'RED ALERT as well which is as topical as it gets. Does it mean that Sameera could well be turning into a social crusader of sorts?

Laughs Sameera, "Nahi, aisa kuch nahi hai. I didn't plan it this way at all. It is just coincidental that both films have released together."

Tere Bin Laden is awesome : Karan Johar

TERE BIN LADEN has been in the buzz for its funny promos and its portrayal of Osama Bin Laden. And now, the film has found a new admirer in the form of filmmaker Karan Johar.

His repeated attempts to immigrate are shot down as his visa is always rejected. But when things couldn't look worse he comes across an Osama Bin Laden look alike. What ensues forms the crux of this hilarious film.

Directed by Abhishek Sharma, TERE BIN LADEN is all set to release on July 16.

Aamir as Dilip Kumar in Dhobi Ghat

Aamir Khan will soon be seen doing an act which is similar to what the legendary actor Dilip Kumar did many decades ago.

Buzz is that Aamir Khan has bought the rights of one of the famous Dilip Kumar songs and would remix it in his upcoming film DHOBI GHAT that is directed by his wife Kiran Rao.

According to reliable sources, Aamir has bought the rights of the famous classical number from the film MADHUMATI which was directed by acclaimed filmmaker Bimal Roy.

Now, Aamir is all set to repeat the old charm in his film. While the superstar has got the necessary permission to use this song, the big question is whether the audiences will like this idea or not?

Kangana : The next tatto girl

Tattoos surely are scoring a hit with the bollywood stars. Now, the latest name to be added to the list is Kangna Ranaut.

Buzz is that Kangna Ranaut is studying tattoo designs these days. The actress wants to get inked as soon as she can. The only hitch is the design which she wants has not been narrowed down upon yet.

After seeing many of her friends get inked, Kangna has decided to take the plunge now. Initial reports say that in all likelihood Kangna will get a tattoo done around her neck.

I am no more a Serial Kisser

Emraan Hashmi is all set for his upcoming film, ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI, in which he's playing an underworld don. According to the actor, his 'serial kisser' tag will go after this film.

"Definitely it's a major depart from playing romantic roles. Hopefully, I won't be addressed as a serial kisser after OUATIM. The script and the film is a completely different genre for me," said Emraan

The film also stars Ajay Devgn, Kangana Ranaut and Prachi Desai.

On working with Ajay Devgn, Emraan said, "It's extremely intimidating to work with Ajay Devgn. He's an actor who has won a National Award and who oozes that kind of intensity in the frame."

The 31-year-old actor further added, "For a young actor it is almost like going to acting school and learning. It was a tremendous experience as well. Just sit there and watch him act. I really admire him as an actor and learnt a lot from him."

Emraan had to work a lot on his body for this film. But he completely loathes the term 'six pack abs'.

"I hate this term six-pack. When Milan narrated the script he made sure that the character demands an overall muscular physique. Because of the action sequences, the toughness in the look was required," he said.

Directed by Milan Luthria, ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI is set to release on July 30.
