After making his mark as a sidekick and then as part of an ensemble cast, Sharman Joshi finally has the opportunity to make his mark as a solo hero when his Ferrari Ki Sawaari comes up for release.

It’s barely been a week since she debuted in Bollywood, but Esha Gupta is already hot property.

Two-and-a-half years after the thumping success of 3 Idiots, Vidhu Vinod Chopra is ready to roll out his next production Ferrari Ki Sawaari which will hit the theatre screens in June.

Vidya Balan, basking in the glory of Kahaani and The Dirty Picture, says she is content taking a leisurely vacation for now and has no plans of rushing back to face the camera anytime soon.

Before she entered films, Sonakshi Sinha has been a model and a fashion designer. And even now — after signing on half a dozen films — she says the desire to pick up a pair of scissors again and do some designing is as strong, even if it’s not likely to come true anytime soon.

Jacqueline Fernandes seems to be specialising in sequels. In fact, she has almost exclusively been doing sequels in recent weeks, with Race 2 being the latest, coming after Housefull 2 and Murder 2. What’s even more interesting is that all three have been sequels of movies which featured other heroines in the original.

Despite the reams of print devoted to their alleged rivalry, Priyanka Chopra says she has “no issues” with Kareena Kapoor. PC was being quizzed about why she hasn’t worked with Saif Ali Khan so far and whether the aforementioned tiff had anything to do with it at all.

After making shoestring budget, almost indie, films all his career, Dibakar Bannerjee is entering the conventional mainstream for the first time with Shanghai. While it definitely promises to be interesting to see what the director has done with the increased budgets and additional resources he had at his disposal, he promises that it will still remain true to his austere sensibilities.

Sanjay Dutt is on a high. After the staggering success of Agneepath, he will be seen again onscreen, this time in a Ram Gopal Varma venture titled Department.

Thus far, talks about Dibakar Bannerjee’s next film Shanghai have revolved primarily around its — supposedly warring — lead heroes, Emraan Hashmi and Abhay Deol.
