Hollywood Actres Aishwarya is Pregnant


Aishwarya Rai, a major movie star in India, is expecting a baby with husband and Bollywood actor-producer Abhishek Bachchan.
Rai’s father-in-law – Amitabh Bachchan, a prominent Indian actor – confirmed the news earlier on June 22 on Twitter.

Rai’s pregnancy qualifies as mega celebrity news in the international community, and especially among fans of Indian cinema.
Rai, 37, has long been considered one of the premier actresses in Bollywood, winning two Filmfare Awards (the Hindi equivalent of the Oscars) and starring in several commercially lucrative films.
Her credits include ‘Taal’, ‘Bride & Prejudice’ and Hollywood fare like ‘The Last Legion’ and ‘Pink Panther 2’.

During a ‘60 Minutes’ profile and in other media outlets, she has been dubbed ‘the most beautiful woman in the world’ and won the Miss World pageant back in 1994.
Rai and Bachchan married in 2007. This will be the couple’s first child.

'3 Idiots' makers, Chetan Bhagat fight over story credit


MUMBAI, Jan 3 – Author Chetan Bhagat has accused makers of the film '3 Idiots', modelled after his best-selling debut novel 'Five Point Someone', of not giving him credit for the story.

Bhagat, who sold the rights of his book to producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra, sparked off a row after he posted a message on his Twitter account on Saturday accusing the '3 Idiots' team of "negating his contribution."

"They (film makers) added a story credit right upfront, without my name, negating my contribution. That is the issue," Bhagat wrote.

The allegations followed a blog post in which he accused the makers of '3 Idiots' of "copying an original story and claiming it to be different."

The team of '3 Idiots' responded by accusing the best-selling author of "lying".

"Bhagat has signed a contract with us, giving us the right to modify or change the story. The contract also clearly states that credit shall be given to him in the rolling credits of the film, which was duly done," director Rajkumar Hirani said.

Bhagat was paid an amount of Rs 9.9 lakhs for rights of the film, according to a document posted on Chopra's website.

Bhagat, who has written four books so far and is one of India's most successful authors, said he was hurt that the credit for the story of the film went to Hirani and co-writer Abhijat Joshi.

Chopra himself landed in controversy at a press conference in New Delhi on Friday after he asked a journalist to "shut up" if he hadn't read the book.

Chopra apologised to the media later, but by then the issue had turned into a mini-storm, with television channels replaying footage of his outburst and social networking sites like Twitter abuzz with comments.

Bollywood has been going through a low-key 2009 and "3 Idiots", which released on December 25, has brought some cheer to the industry. The film grossed over Rs 100 crore in four days and is on its way to becoming one of the biggest hits of last year.

Bollywood eyes good scripts, tight budgets in 2010


MUMBAI, Jan 6 - A focus on better scripts, tighter budgets and diligence are going to be the watchwords for Bollywood as the world's largest film industry looks to consolidate itself in 2010.

Industry insiders said Bollywood would look to hold back in the new year after Rajkumar Hirani's "3 Idiots" brought some cheer at the end of an otherwise bleak 2009.

"The industry will take a sobering pause in 2010. There will be diligence in terms of scripts and budgets," Sanjeev Lamba, CEO of Reliance Big Pictures, one of India's biggest production houses, told Reuters.

Bollywood spent more than 15 billion rupees and released 120 films last year, but only a handful of those made it to the list of successes.

A three month-long standoff between producers and multiplex owners also hit business.

"There has to be a sense of reality regarding the remuneration that various talents associated with a film get and the amount of revenue that a film is likely to make. Hopefully that should happen in 2010," Lamba said.

Reliance Big Pictures has as many as four mainstream Hindi releases lined up in the first half of the year, including the Hrithik Roshan starrer "Kites" and Mani Ratnam's "Ravan".

Other production houses are focusing on content.

"2010 will see a lot more importance being given to scripts rather than other peripherals," said Sidharth Roy Kapur, CEO of UTV Motion Pictures.

"We didn't see a lot of that in 2009. Content will be the way to go."

WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO?

The first half of 2010 will see some heavy-duty releases, including Karan Johar's much anticipated "My Name is Khan", starring Shah Rukh Khan, to be distributed by Fox Star Studios worldwide.

"Kites" will be released simultaneously in English and Hindi while "Ravan", starring Abhishek Bachchan and wife Aishwarya Rai, is set for release in June.

"The first half of the year will set the tone … 'Ravan', 'Kites' and 'My Name is Khan' will decide how well the industry does for the rest of the year," says Vajir Singh, executive editor of Box Office India.

The second half of the year will see films like Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Guzaarish", starring Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan, the Aamir Khan-starrer "Dhobi Ghaat" and Rajnikanth's "Robot" hitting movie screens across India.
