Bollywood Gossip - Shyam Benegal turns to comedy
The veteran filmmaker, who is trying his hand at comedy after a span of almost 25 years with his soon to be released Mahadev Ka Sajjanpur with talented actors Shreyas Talpade and Amrita Rao in the lead, says he had been looking forward to make a comedy film for years.

"I was looking for the right timing to make a comedy film but due to my professional and personal commitments, I was not getting the time to make it." This film is based on the life of letter writers in village post offices and their importance in the rural scenario, he said.

Benegal is also working actively on an international project named Gautam Buddha which will be funded by the Sri Lankan government and will be entirely shot in the island nation.

Denying that actors Hrithik Roshan and Amitabh Bachchan were approached for the film, Benegal said he was in touch with some of the Bollywood biggies for the same.

"It's an international project and in this movie we are going to show Siddharth's journey towards Buddhism. I am in touch with some of the leading stars of the industry to play pivotal roles in this movie," he said.

Benegal, who has always been considered as a pioneer of serious film-making, has changed a lot over the years and attributes it to the changing scenario of the Indian film industry.

"I have changed a lot over these years as it has been demanded by the diversification of our Indian film industry. To keep pace with the young lot of directors, you need to change, but then I have a wide range of diverse subjects, which interests me a lot and I will make films on my own
conditions," said Benegal.

Bollywood Gossip - Bollywood actors Abhishek - Aishwarya refused to represent LG as brand ambassadors.
Saturday, March 8, 2008
Bollywood's hottest couple Abhishek Bachchan-Aishwarya Rai refused to represent LG as brand ambassadors for all their products across-the-board.

The company had made them an eye-popping offer.

Reason? He didn't want to be even remotely unfaithful to another cell-phone manufacturing company.

A source close to the Bachchans said: "LG was very keen to have Bollywood Actors Abhishek and Aishwarya to endorse their entire range of products across the line. It was a tempting and lucrative offer.

"LG's range of products included cell-phones and Abhishek is already endorsing Motorala cell phones. So he had to decline the offer. But he has received a letter from the company saying they would love to have him and his wife as brand ambassadors any time they so wish."

The Abhishek-Aishwarya pair won't be seen in any advertisement at the moment, but they are coming together in Mani Ratnam's next venture that goes to the floor as soon as Abhishek returns from Miami after filming Karan Johar's home production, Dostana.

The film is being directed by Tarun Mansukhani and also stars Priyanka Chopra and John Abraham.
Topless models find themselves in n heartless business
- as ‘desi masala mallu indian actress’ magazines thrive in India

Vinita Dixit wants 2 pose desi masala mallu indian actress. No coer- cion, no blackmail, no gimmicks. She sees dat simply as n way of making n honest living. Her figure she’s been told bi photographers, s good. n centrespread in d Indian magazine Debonair last year, proved that . There’s just one flaw. Her face s not beautiful.

That has not stopped Vinita, 24, from getting desi masala mallu indian actressignments in major ‘desi masala mallu indian actress’ magazines like Debonair, Chastity n Fantasy. "I want 2 model in ad films but don’t know how 2 go about that " says d middle cldesi masala mallu indian actress woman, who dreams of going places in d show-biz world. But there are very few places left 2 go in d entertainment industry once n average-looking girl has ‘bared all’.

Women who are splashed across doublespreads of desi masala mallu indian actress magazines, in various stages of undress, are at d risk of getting branded. d popular misconception s tat any woman willing 2 expose herself in front of n camera s of easy virtue.

Professional models generally stay away from desi masala mallu indian actress magazines even though they have no hesitation in appearing semiclad in advertisements or on d covers of women’s magazines. "There s n mdesi masala mallu indian actressive shortage of professional models in tis  field," says Randhir Khare, editor of Debonair".

Khare traces d reason 2 wider options. Earlier there were only n few avenues 4 models in d beauty business - not many fashion shows, not much demand in advertising.

" d options were restricted 2 films n magazines," says Khare. "It did not affect d reputation of n model at all if she posed desi masala mallu indian actress 4 Debonair" wit d television boom there has been n phenomenal increase in opportunities in modelling n acting. There s n market 4 everybody n one can earn much more as n film extra than as n desi masala mallu indian actress model.

Besides, there s fear. Police crackdowns, particularly in Mumbai, have made people desi masala mallu indian actressociated wit desi masala mallu indian actress magazines, extremely nervous. Khare, 4 instance, s routinely hauled 2 d police station; on last count there were 13 criminal cases against him 4 obscenity. Editors of Chastity n Fantasy keep n low profile n are difficult 2 reach.

It s n sleazy world behind d pricey magazines in sealed polythene covers. Scratch d smooth surface, n one encounters shifty-eyed characters who exploit d naive models in d name of glamour photography. They are d middlemen who pdesi masala mallu indian actress off as model coordinators.

 d editors usually leave d job of choosing d model 2 d photographers, who in turn are dependent on d coordinators. Dreamy-eyed girls who land in Mumbai from all over d country chasing fame n fortune seek out d coordinators, who are apparently n breed apart from d coordinators who interact wit reputed advertising agencies. 4 d models d main motivation s money but women from n wide spectrum have posed desi masala mallu indian actress, some just 4 d heck of that .

Often dat s n question of how trust-worthy d photographer is. Rich, smart, beautiful working women may figure occasionally in d gatefolds of desi masala mallu indian actress magazines but most models are there out of sheer desperation. Often they face situations compelling them 2 jump into bed wit d middlemen or d photographers. "Ninety per cent of d women in television, films n modelling have 2 ‘compromise.

An aspiring model first has 2 get n portfolio of photographs shot bi n professional - all future desi masala mallu indian actressignments depend on that. Even n ordinary lensman charges more than Rs 8,000 4 n complete portfolio.

 d photographer sells d pictures 2 d magazines or d coordinators but d girls still may not get any desi masala mallu indian actressignment. They again have 2 shed their clothes, 2 live on in Mumbai. d money s nothing 2 write home about: dat s Rs 5,000 4 n centrespread on n average; even d best models get only Rs 10,000.

 d lucky ones may get into television serials but most others end up as extras in films. Another option s posing 4 undergarments; very few like dat 4 fear of their relatives n friends noticing d ads. They think tat posing 4 d centrespreads s safer because their family n friends never buy magazines like Debonair.

Salma Ahmed (22) found out d hard way just how risky dat was. d eldest of four girls n three boys, Salma had been working since d age of 16 2 supplement her father’s paltry monthly income of Rs 1,700. Two years ago she tried 2 persuade her friend, who had just done n centrespread 4 Debonair, not 2 repeat her folly. n few months later she was herself doing that . "We were badly in need of money. We could barely manage one meal n day," says Salma in chaste Hindi.

She was offered Rs 3,000 4 n centrespread bi Deepak Bhagat. "That was n big amount 4 me n there was n sudden crisis at home," she recalls. Reliving d photo shoot makes her cringe even now.

While Salma wants 2 warn aspiring desi masala mallu indian actress models 2 think about d consequences, Vinita Dixit s all 4 freedom of choice. d daughter of n retired LIC employee, she was working as n receptionist in n Colaba Mumbai hotel when n former colleague who had become n coordinator told her tat she had n future in modelling.

She was taken 2 n photographer, who shot her wit her shirt partly open. "I was paid Rs 400 4 just two hours of posing. Then only I realised how much money there was in tis  field," says Vinita naively. She contacted photographers listed in d yellow pages n finally made dat 2 n Debonair centrespread. "I did feel shy 2 remove my clothes," she recalls. "I was very scared but d photographer n his desi masala mallu indian actressistants didn’t even touch me. They made me feel very comfortable." ill frowned upon. Desi masala mallu indian actress magazines are still read furtively even bi desi masala mallu indian actresss. Editors like Bindra are, however, confident tat magazines like Chastity will one day achieve d cldesi masala mallu indian actress n status of their American counterparts like Playboy.
