Shah Rukh reveals his New Year plans

Shah Rukh Khan will take a break for a couple of days close to New Year's. 

Shah Rukh Khan has been working round the clock. When he is not shooting for a film, receiving an international honour, he is seen promoting his film across the globe and then promoting the brands that help him promote his films.

After getting positive reviews from Don 2, the superstar is relieved. He now wishes to take a break for a few days from the movies before he gets back to the grind.

At an event SRK revealed, "I have been working round the clock. Its time I shave my beard, cut my hair, spend time with the kids. I will be off to Dubai with family for 4-5 days, a short break. After which, I will be back to shoot for Yashji's romantic film. We might start the shoot by Jan 8th 2012."

The King is glad that most have liked Don 2. The handwork & fun of making it seems to be paying off said he.

While most girls prefer SRK in a romantic film, the superstar should know, the ladies thought he looked his sexiest best in Don 2.

Agneepath expected to cross Rs 100cr mark at box office

Within hours of the theatrical launch of Hrithik Roshan starrer Agneepath, Filmtrac (audience tracking) and TradeTrac (tracking tradewallahs) saw a major spike. Judging by the film tracking data this is just the beginning the film is expected to cross the magical Rs 100cr mark. 

Agneepath is also been rated as the most awaited film of 2012. According a twitter poll done by Ormax Media , Agneepath scored 30, followed by Yash Chopra's directoral venture with Shah Rukh Khan, Ek Tha Tiger, Dabangg-2 and Rowdy Rathore. 

Trade journal editor Vajir Singh says, "By virtue of the fact that the film comes in the first month of the year and because it has bankable names in it, is on top of the list of the most exciting films of next year." 

Karan Johar has reportedly topped the satellite rights for Agneepath. The film has been sold for a whopping Rs 41 crore, the highest ever. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh says, "I'm not shocked with this piece of information or the reported price because as I said earlier Hrithik's movie rights including that of Kites was picked up for a huge amount. The actor is one of our most dependable superstars and obviously there is a rush to buy the rights of his movies. To me, the month of January is looking exciting because of Agneepath."

Don't call it an item number: Mrinalini Sharma

Bollywood may boast of a bevy of actresses hailing from an army background, but Delhi-born Mrinalini Sharma is proud to be called the daughter of an IPS officer.
The model-turned-actress, who made her tinsel town debut with a cameo in the Ajay Devgan-starrer "Apaharan" and hogged the limelight in Emraan Hashmi-starrer "Awarapan" talks about her Bollywood journey.
"Both my brother and I wanted to breakaway. My brother is an assistant director who is learning the art of direction and I went on to become a model. Movies just happened. I never had dreams of becoming an actress. I went to the audition on a lark and Bollywood just happened. It wasn't strategized. The reason we could pull it off is thanks to immense of support and trust we got from home and we're lucky that way," she reveals.
After her last release, the Rajeev Khandelwal-starrer " Soundtrack", Mrinalini is looking forward to her next flick "Jodi Breakers" that hits the screens in February 2012. Recalling how she landed that role, she says, "I didn't audition for it. It happened over a single meeting. My role is very colorful one. I strive to play such interesting characters in my movies," she adds.
Working with co-stars Madhavan and Bipasha Basu was a ball, says Mrinalini. "The experience has been great so far. Bipasha is very beautiful and Madhavan is such a great co-star. He shares tips, nuances and suggestions and he is just a treat to watch and work with."
While filming for the flick earlier this year in Greece, the actress gave in to her wanderlust and extended her stay in the holiday spot after finishing her shooting schedule. "Earlier this year, someone has asked me if I had to throw a dart on a place I'd want to spend my birthday in, where would it be. I said I'd love to be in Greece. Ironically, around my birthday, the shooting of "Jodi Breakers" was scheduled in Greece! It was an amazing coincidence. I stayed back for 10 days after the film's schedule to explore Greece," she says.
Looking back at her career, which began with a cameo item number, Mrinalini says, "I have a huge issue with the term 'item' number because the word 'item' here is a gender-specific term. Moreover, the song I debuted with, had a decent video. But apart from that tag, I never had any issues with such songs, nor will I have in the future."
Ask the actress if she has eyes set on Tollywood too and she says, "I'm very open to offers from Tollywood and other film industries. I've just started out and I have a long way to go. We're actors and are not bound by language. I haven't seen too many Telugu films, but I do watch a few now and then. "Magadheera" was the last Telugu film I watched," says this glam doll, who confesses that she is a bit of a tomboy in real life.
"I'm a daredevil actually," she quips, adding, "I might not know swimming but I learnt scuba-diving and went on to become a certified scuba-diver... something that I'm proud of. I'm not fond of heights, but I want to try sky-diving someday. For now, I plan to learn to ride a bike. I'm an avid book reader. I'm also a gamer and I like beating the boys at their game," she says.

Vidya Balan: I want to get ‘dirty’ with SRK

Over a cuppa strong coffee, the boombaat Balan girl sheds her inhibitions, and in between giggles, coy smiles, dropping of eyelids (but not the pallu) she unleashes her bold instincts in this 'dirty' chat with Madhureeta Mukherjee. 

Read on... 

You've transformed from the quiet, hapless gal in NOKJ to a 'boombastic' babe... I'd never got the opportunity to unleash the sexual side of my personality and this role just gave me a chance. I was completely uninhibited. 

Uninhibited and how! Ha, ha... yeah, I've had a blast shooting for it. It was very liberating and a huge challenge as an actor. I'm glad I got over the awkwardness and just went for it. 

Were you wary of looking vulgar on camera? Fortunately, I've never been very conscious and inhibited of what I have to do. The camera's my soul mate. So it wasn't that tough. 

You've put all the size-zero actresses and item girls to shame... Well, I like that. Ha, ha, ha. I think a woman should be wholesome, voluptuous and sizzling! 

Emraan must have been quite disappointed as he didn't get to show his 'dirty' side this time... Yeah, he's such a jealous man. Just because he didn't get to be dirty in the film... I hate him. Ha, ha! 

And the other man, Tusshar says he was nervous as hell kissing you onscreen... I think he lied. There was no nervousness. I think men can fake nervousness. He must have faked it! 

How would you react if you heard someone say - 'You want sex, I am sex'... I meant that's how my character is, in the film. She's unapologetic about using her body and her sexuality as a big ticket to fame. There's no shame in doing it. 

Do you think Indian women are getting more comfortable with their sexuality? Oh, definitely! And cinemais a reflection of society. So you're seeing it onscreen because it's happening in real life. 

One Bollywood actor that makes you go Ooh La La? Ummmm.... Salman Khan! 

And one Bollywood actor you want to get 'dirty' with? A certain SRK. 

What are the three easy tips to seducing a guy? Just look at him. Don't talk. And you won't even need the other two tips. 

17 Bollywood songs to make out to...

Music plays an imperative part in the bedroom versions of "Dirty Dancing", and it's important to go ooh, to the right La La. Presenting, the scintillating soft-tongue-tonsil-ling tracks for that extra hard thrust.
PS: This isn't in any order. It totally depends on what you are in the mood for.
1 "Jaadu Hain Nasha Hain" ("Jism"). If this song doesn't stir up the sex, then nothing will. The lyrics that would put Agent Provocateur to shame ("Dekhti Hai Jis Tarah SeTeri Nazrein Mujhe Main Khud Ko Chupaao Kahan") and visuals that just beg for a little role-play.
2 "Kaate Nahin Kat Teh" ("Mr India"). Guaranteed to get you going even before you've even started getting undressed. Raunchy, ribald and with enough juice to bring a ravenous smile to your face.
3 "Zara Zara Touch Me" ("Race"). If the mood is for nasty, dirty, imaginative passion, this one is for you. The chorus goes, "Oooooo, Can I Touch Ya, Oooooo, Can I Get Ya". A little turned on just reading it, aren't you?
4 "Ooh La La Ooh La La" ("The Dirty Picture"). In a tearing hurry? The beat will compliment your willingness to be naughty, and it's quick enough to go wham-bam. Prepare for some carnal-craziness. The song climaxes with a climax.
5 "Bheege Hont Tere" ("Murder"). Some parts are slow, but all parts sexy. It's the perfect foreplay song, where you can slowly strip and sashay to the rhythm.
6 "In The Night No Control" ("Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi"). A desi rip-off of the Laura Branigan classic works as the perfect song to switch dramatically from foreplay to instant gratification. Works very well, when combined with No. 5.
7 "Dhak Dhak Karne Laga" ("Beta"). This is the song to get your kink on to the thumping beats of this intense desi wonder. Reserved in the 'salty & sweaty' category.
8 "Jiya Jale" ("Dil Se"). Lutao your libido on this racy one! For those who like moving slowly between the sheets and then speeding up like you are in a rally, this track is just the right way for you.
9 "Raat Ka Nasha" ("Asoka"). The rhythm and melody in this song make sweet love. The ultimate aphrodisiac for anyone with a passive libido. Perfect song to let the woman take charge.
10 "Chupke Se" ("Saathiya"). This one is for when you wake up in the mood. The lyrics streaming in with the first light of the sun; the morning still bedraggled, the room fervent with a bouquet of hunger. Start slow, and stay steady.
11 "Hai Rama" ("Rangeela"). This track breathes raging sex. It is raw, animalistic and promises to help you bring out the masterstrokes in a rhythm. All desi role-play is supported in this one.
12 "Jaane Do Na" ("Saagar"). An old classic that is more for the mature afternoon of passion. This one is all candles and aromas and you will want to hum every word as you tease to please.
13 "Humma Humma" ("Bombay"). This calls for Hollywood style love-making! Clothes are ripped off, objects are knocked over, glasses smash to the floor. Grabbing, aching, biting, scratching, pushing... You get the picture?
14 " Zara Zara" ("RHTDM"). Dirty, naughty and totally fatal. For the women, unleash your wild side with these grooves. For the men, sit back and enjoy.
15 "Kehti Hai" ("Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman"). Sexy silky vocals, subtly suggestive lyrics, and visuals of Shah Rukh Khan in a super-deep V neck makes this the perfect lotion of lyrical love. Just let it flow...

16 "Dheere Jhalna" ("Paheli"). Literally setting your loins on fire. Earthy and rustic, basic and primal! Perfect to lose your virginity.
17 "Baahon Ke Darmiyaan" ("Khaamoshi") A slow dreamy sexual saga! Smooth and sensual, slow and seeped in syrup. This isn't Bhansali's imagery - it's the magic of this lilting number that can loop endlessly on a full moon night.

Amy Rasimas: Bollywood movies are very exciting

For I Am Singh - a film dealing with the plight of Sikhs who faced the brunt of public ire in the US post 9/11 - writer, director and actor, Puneet Issar roped in an American actress, Amy Rasimas to play a criminial defense attorney for 9/11 victims. 

Produced by Sardar Peshaura Singh Thind, this film had Amy researching her role to be able to understand "what these poor victims of hate crimes went through after 9 /11." 

"I discovered the sad truth that many people have been killed because of lack of education on cultural and religious garb that has nothing to do with terrorism," says Amy, speaking to us from Southern California. "I had a wonderful experience shooting the film." 

Standing tall at 5' 10'', Amy has worked in dozens of films, including Dinocroc vs. Supergator and The Unit and is passionate about her Bollywood career. "For now, I hope to fly to India for good projects and eventually see where that road takes me. Bollywood movies are very different and exciting. I thoroughly enjoy dancing and love the dancing talent of the industry," she concludes.
