When one of the country’s most powerful banners joins forces with a prolific director such as Dibakar Banerjee, expectations are bound to soar. The director feels that the very fact that Aditya Chopra and he come from different schools of cinema might actually work to their advantage.

Now that they have made their peace with each other, the Kapoors are one big happy family. While every actress in the industry wants to work with Ranbir Kapoor, the man himself cannot wait to work with his cousin Kareena Kapoor. But it looks like he may have to wait longer than he thought.

From a star son to a star himself, Ranbir Kapoor has come a long way in his Bollywood journey of five years. Sitting pretty on back-to-back BO successes, his debut film, Saawariya, seems to have been the only low point in his career. But he is no more saddened by his failures and rumours than ecstatic at his successes.

Among B’town’s best crowd pullers, Salman Khan and Emraan Hashmi sure have a lot in common. From the box office to mass appeal, the superstar Khan and the younger Mr Hashmi have enjoyed it all.

From his superstar status to turning a year older, Hrithik Roshan has every reason to celebrate, come January 10. The actor who turns 38 this year, wanted to have a quiet birthday, but his wife Sussanne wanted a larger celebration. In fact, Sussanne has put together the guest list and invited close friends and relatives to the do.

From its unusual name to its changing star cast, everything about Vishal Bharadwaj’s Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola made headlines ever since it was announced. The buzz was that the film was originally offered to Vishal’s then favourite, Ajay Devgn.

She excels in playing feisty characters on screen. But in real life too, Anushka Sharma recently proved that she’s got plenty of grit. The actress, who has been suffering from a fit of food poisoning, had a series of promotional events lined up for the week. A thorough professional, Anushka ensured that she fulfilled them despite being indisposed.

Celebrity hairstylist Hakim Aalim is known to have B’townies for besties and the latest one to join his club is actor Shahid Kapoor. So impressed was the fashion-conscious Shahid by his newly coiffed look that he gifted Aalim a brand new set of expensive speakers bought especially from the US to express his appreciation.

Farah Khan’s directorial venture Happy New Year has been in the news for a very long time now and speculations about the film’s casting are still on. While Shah Rukh Khan and Abhishek Bachchan are the only two actors who have signed on the dotted line, there were rumours that John Abraham might enter the fray. However, there was no confirmation from the director’s end.

Bollywood is no less synonymous with acting as it is with partying. And each time a star celebrates his or her birthday on a large scale, they like to make sure that their party becomes talk of the town.
