Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, copy of 'What Happens In Vegas'? Watch Teaser


Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, copy of `What Happens In Vegas`? Watch TeaserThe first look of Kareena Kapoor and Imran Khan starrer "Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu" is out and producer Karan Johar has clarified that his forthcoming romantic comedy has nothing to do with Hollywood movie "What Happens in Vegas". 

Slated to release next February, "Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu" has been directed by newcomer Shakun Batra. 

There were reports that the film's story is on the lines of Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher starrer "What Happens in Vegas", but Karan said: "The fact that they get married in Vegas is only an aspect of the movie and not the entire movie

. When you see the film in February, the fact will unveil itself that there is not a single note or point of similarity between the two films. They are totally different movies."

The 39-year-old producer-director, who has not wielded the megaphone since "My Name Is Khan", says he will return to direction with "Student Of The Year", which will be co-produced by Red Chillies Entertainment.

"Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu" first look was unveiled Wednesday and lead pair Kareena-Imran, who are working together for the first time, were also present.

Sharing her experience Kareena said that working with Imran was like a breath of fresh air. 

"Imran has brought a lot of freshness and I think the chemistry is pretty sizzling and crackling as you can see in the promos and I actually really really enjoyed working with Imran and he is actually a very very sweet guy. Imran in not funny but very very sweet," the 31-year-old actress said. 

A self-confessed Kareena fan, Imran talked about how desperately he wanted to work with her. 

"We could only see one person in this role, even though she didn't have the time when we were originally planning the film. We said we would wait for her because we were so sure that only she could do this role.

We felt it is a very performance-oriented role and she would be the best person to bring that one to life," said Imran who was last seen in "Mere Brother Ki Dulhan".

Sunny Leone has agreed to do `Jism 2`: Mahesh BhattSunny Leone knows that she has a language problem but still agreed to work in "Jism 2", filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt says, adding "she categorically told me that choosing to be a porn star was her personal choice". 

"She is well aware that language could act as barrier, but is ready to put in that extra effort. She has agreed to do 'Jism 2', which will be made under Pooja Bhatt's banner, Fish Eye Network. 

Now they will work out things with Sunny's agent and work out the nitty-gritties," the 61-year-old told after his brief visit into the "Bigg Boss 5" house. 

Born to a Punjabi family in Ontario, Sunny has appeared in various reality shows in the US, and was named among the world's top 12 porn stars by fashion magazine Maxim in 2010.

"It was a memorable meeting with Sunny. Loved every bit of my stay in that house. She is such a sweet girl, she is very honest and beautiful -- not only physically but her heart is also very pure and genuine," Bhatt told IANS on phone from Mumbai. 

"She says things the way they are. I didn't find her manipulative or hiding behind any fake mask. Very categorically she told me without any hesitation that choosing her profession (being a porn star) was her personal choice and she has no regrets about it." 

Bhatt also says the 30-year-old is keen to make a mark in Bollywood. 

"She is very keen to make a mark in Hindi film industry. She spoke to me at length that - in a year she shoots for two adult films and the rest of the time she wants to do here." 

Released in 2003, "Jism" was an unexpected box office success and made debutants John Abraham and Bipasha Basu known names in the film industry. 

Sunny, who was born as Karen Malhotra, wants to win Color' reality show "Bigg Boss 5". But at the same time she is concerned about her image, informs Bhatt.

"She is very competitive and wants to win the show. She is also very concerned in what light she is being shown to the viewers and how people are taking her. 

"There was a moment when I and Sunny were talking and suddenly she got very emotional. I touched her head and she was on the verge of crying but managed to control her tears," he said. 

Bhatt also revealed that only two people know about Sunny's professional reality in the house. 

The episode showing Bhatt's entry into the house will be aired Thursday.

Anushka to star in Veer-Zaara sequel with SRK, Kat


Anushka to star in Veer-Zaara sequel with SRK, KatFrom 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' to 'Band Bajaa Baraat' and now 'Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl', Anushka Sharma has proved time and again that she has what it needs to be a hot favourite among directors in Bollywood. 

Lately, there's a buzz going on in tinsel town that the 23-year old actress has been signed for the Veer-Zaara sequel, which is expected to be released near Diwali in 2012 

The movie, apart from Shahrukh Khan, who was the main lead in the first part also, features Katrina Kaif as well. 

However, Anushka, who made her debut with Aditya Chopra's 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' will be seen playing Rani Mukherjee's character of a Pakistani lawyer, Saamiya Siddiqui. 

The first part of the movie which hit the silver screens in 2004 was set against the backdrop of conflict between India and Pakistan. 

Starring Shahrukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Rani Mukherjee, the movie told an unfortunate love story of an Indian Air Force Squadron Leader Veer Pratap Singh, and a Pakistani woman hailing from a rich political family of Lahore, Zaara Haayat Khan.

Interestingly, Shahrukh and Katrina will be paired for the first time. 

Even the renowned director Yash Chopra will return to business after a break of seven long years and that too with a sequel of his last movie. 

In an interview, he said that he is as tensed and excited as he was in his first film. 

Apparently, Shahrukh Khan is busy with the promotion of his upcoming movie 'Don 2' and will probably start shooting for this one by second or third week of January. 

With all the excitement building up, let's see what the film has to offer!

Too 'Dirty' for Pakistan?


Too `Dirty` for Pakistan?While the buzz around the run-up to the release of The Dirty Picture is in full swing, our neighbours may not have a chance to catch the film in their theatres.

The Pakistan Censor Board has refused to clear the movie for release in their country. Earlier this year, Delhi Belly too was not cleared for a release there. 

It is learnt that after receiving a clearance by the Indian Central Board of Film Certication (CBFC), the Milan Luthria directed film, apparently based on South siren Silk Smitha, was submitted to the Censor Board of Pakistan for censorship. 

"However, they rejected the application saying it is not suitable for theatrical release in Pakistan, " reveals our source, adding, "They deemed the movie inappropriate for viewership in Pakistan, due to its bold and controversial content." 

Our informer points out that this refusal is coming at a time when cinema in Pakistan is not doing too well. "It's strange that the Pakistan Censor Board is refusing censorship of the film because after its release, the authorities won't do anything to control the piracy of its DVDs, " sighed our source. 

Expressing disappointment at the decision, our source further laments, "This coincides with the time when the distribution and exhibition sector in Pakistan is getting a boost only due to Bollywood. So it's all the more ironical on part of the board to take such a harsh stance, " he reiterates. 

Tanuj Garg, CEO of producer Ekta Kapoor's company confirmed the news, saying, "Yes, our overseas distributor informed us that Pakistan Censor Board deemed the movie unsuitable for theatrical exhibition. 

Unfortunately, the audience in that country will not have a legitimate means of viewing the film which is sad given the huge buzz there for the film."

Kim's naked yoga session sent Kris packing


Kris Humphries was left furious after he walked in on his former wife Kim Kardashian, her sister and friends taking part in a yoga session with a naked male yoga instructor on their reality show.

Kardashian, 31, and Humphries were seen coming to blows during the season premiere of 'Kourtney and Kim Take New York', which was aired on U.S. television on Nov 28.

Only the male instructor bares everything in the yoga session.

Even though the reality star keeps her clothes one, the basketball star is not happy about her being in the company of a naked man.

That is disgusting," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.

"This is my home. This is disrespectful.

The socialite fires back after Humphries makes his feelings known in front of the instructor.

"You are so immature I can't take it," she said.

"You can't take it? I can't take it... I felt uncomfortable when I came in. I nearly threw up," he said.

Things get even more personal when he tells her that he can no longer live with Kourtney, who had organized the naked yoga session.

"Kourtney cannot live with us anymore. I will personally pay for her to have a room on a different floor."

But in the end it is Humphries who leaves, and heads to Minnesota, expressing concerns that his New York lifestyle is getting in the way of his training routine.

World's first sex school opens in Austria

While many people may think it's an activity which should be best learned behind closed doors, an enterprising Swedish schoolmistress thinks otherwise. Ylva-Maria Thompson has opened the world's first international sex school for teaching the art of being better lovers, the Daily Mail reported.

The Austrian International Sex School in Vienna offers 'hands on' lessons in seduction for 1,400 pounds a term. The 'headmistress' says anyone over the age of 16 can enrol at 'the world's first college of applied sexuality'.

Students of the course are expected to stay in a co-ed dormitory block where they're expected to practice their 'homework'. By the end of their course, they are awarded a qualification.

The school head said: "Our core education is not theoretical, but very practical. The emphasis is on how to be a better lover.

"Sexual positions, caressing techniques, anatomical features. And we teach people hands on."

School's spokesperson Melodi Kirsch exuded confidence that the school would be a great success.

The school, however, has already turned controversial in Austria with its raunchy advertisments showing a couple making love having already invited a ban by Austrian TV.
