Zoya looking for a Firang lead.....

We believe Zoya Akhtar is looking for a heroine to cast opposite Hrithik Roshan in her next. She’s run through the gamut of heroines that we have but none of them will do, it seems. She’s looking for a phirang look in her heroine, we hear. Hmmm. Shall we suggest a certain Barbara Mori? Her on screen chemistry with Hrithik is by now legendary. It’s the stuff tabloids are made of. What better bet than her?

Dhobi Ghaat, Delhi Belly delayed

Aamir Khan to stagger the release of Delhi Belly and Dhobi Ghaat. He would like to essentially spend at least 3 to 6 months on the marketing and packaging of both the films. He hasn't even seen the final cut of Delhi Belly because he's been so busy with 3 Idiots. On the other hand, the promo of Dhobi Ghaat which is primarily aimed at international film festivals has wowed the audience.

Wish Shahrukh was here, says Makrand Deshpande

Actor and director Makrand Deshpande would have loved to have superstar Shahrukh Khan for the premiere of his film "Shahrukh Bola Tu Khoohbsurat Hai" at the 40th edition of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here.


"I had invited Shahrukh here for the premiere of my film, but he told me that he would attend the opening night instead," Deshpande told reporters.

Speaking about his film, Deshpande, known for his quirky roles like that of a gangling ascetic in Ashutosh Gowarikar's "Swades", said that the movie was about a girl who has a small brush with Shahrukh Khan in real life which completely transforms her life.
