Ileana house hunting in Mumbai

After a successful innings in the southern film industry, Ileana D'Cruz wants to make it big in Bollywood. With plans to settle here, she is looking for a perfect pad for herself in the city of dreams.


Her first Bollywood release is " Barfi!", which is coming out Sep 14. In the Anurag Basu directed movie Ileana will be seen sharing screen space withRanbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra."My parents are presently living in Goa. I am looking for a place in Mumbai so that they can shift here with me. I want to settle down in Mumbai. So right now I am hunting for a house in the city," the 24-year-old told IANS.


In 2006, she bowed in movies with Telugu film "Devadasu" and has since worked in many southern movies including "Pokiri", "Jalsa" and "Kick".


"My father recently called me and said he is extremely proud of my work and for me that's a huge achievement. He has never been biased. He will never compliment unless he means it. It is very flattering," she said.


Being in showbiz means looking fit and attractive and she admits that she is conscious about it.


"I am very conscious about my body. When you are in the limelight, people criticise your looks. It takes a lot of time for me to get comfortable. When people say that you have a good physique, there is a constant state of disbelief. But I am not shy. Looking pretty and doing make up is part of my job," she said.

Heroine is my bravest role: Kareena Kapoor

Actress Kareena Kapoor believes that her portrayal of a fading Bollywood superstar in Heroine is her bravest role so far.

The film, directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, is said to have been inspired by real-life incidents from B-town and Kareena says not many actresses would have taken the risk of accepting this role.

"I wanted to be a heroine since my childhood. I am happy that Heroine has turned out to be my bravest role. Not many actresses would want to play the role of a declining superstar," Kareena told PTI.

"Typically you see films where a star's journey is shown from rise to fall and then rise. In Heroinethat's not the case as from the very first frame you can see that this superstar is declining," she adds.

Kareena accepted the part because she connected with the character of Mahi Arora and also felt that this was a challenge worth taking.

"I always take challenges when it comes to performance oriented roles and Heroine isn't something that I could have missed. I played a prostitute at the age of 22 when many people around me said that it was a wrong move and said I was way too young to pick up such a part.

"Still, I was convinced to play the part so I did it. Similarly when not many would have been courageous enough to take up the part of 'Heroine', I went ahead and did that. The character is such that you feel connected to it and really feel bad about what she is going through," she says.

Bhandarkar had first offered the film to Kareena and when things couldn't work out due to date issues, he had taken the film to Aishwarya Rai. Later when Aishwarya got pregnant, it was time for Kareena to return to the film with her date diary being sorted out.

"As I have always maintained, it was destiny coming into play. Moreover, every film comes with akundli of its own. I feel whatever happens, it is ultimately for the best."

As for comparisons with the character of Mahi Arora, Kareena says that it is way too extreme since in real life she is very sorted out.

"I am not someone like Mahi though I could easily relate to the scenes as they take place in the film. I have given my 200 per cent to the film and the kind of reactions that are coming have reassured me that I have done something well."

Moreover, the reassurance that came her way from her director further kept the motivation level up for her.

"Madhur has this perception that since he makes these hard hitting films, he would be considered very serious by people around him. However the fact is that in real life he is so much fun. He is so positive that it makes things easy on the sets.

"I may be doing a scene and he may compliment by screaming jalwa. I got used to his vocabulary over a period of time. I have made a friend in Madhur and can proudly say that together we have taken this film a step forward over what we had envisioned."

With Arjun Rampal and Randeep Hooda in principal roles along with Divya Dutta, Shahana Goswami and Ranvir Shorey, Heroine releases all over on September 21.

Sunny Leone to star in Ragini MMS sequel

Sunny Leone has just bagged her second Bollywood film. TheIndo-Canadian porn starwill star in Ekta Kapoor's sequel of the 2011 crossover horror hit,Ragini MMS.

"We've signed the sexy @SunnyLeoneforRagini MMS 2. Lunched with her recently and thought she was remarkably rooted & warm!" confirmed Tanuj Garg, CEO, Balaji Motion Pictures, on Twitter.

Sunny is currently shooting in Thailand for her much-hyped debut film, the Pooja Bhatt-directedJism 2. She said yes to Ekta forRagini MMS 2just before flying off to Thailand after a detailed meeting to thrash out details of the Balaji project.

Sources at Balaji said that although Sunny's casting is final, the rest of the cast and crew will be announced only after a while. The film goes on floors later this year and is scheduled for release in 2013.

"Ragini MMS 2will also be based on a real-life incident like the first film, but details are now being kept under wraps," said a source at Balaji.

Pawan Kripalani, who made an impressive directorial debut with the first film, is expected to return as director for the sequel too, although nothing is confirmed.

Ragini MMS, which was made on a shoestring budget ofRs.1.3 crore with an unknown cast, went onto grossRs.10 crore at the box-office upon release in May 2011. The film, starring Kainaz Motiwala and Rajkumar Yadav, belonged to the Found Footage genre of cinema that narrates a story through sequences that appear as if they have are random video clips.

The Found Footage genre has lately become popular in India thanks to crossover hits such asLove Sex Aur DhokhaandRagini MMS, and the sequel will also be shot in the same way, according to sources.

Sunny'sThailand stint forJism 2, produced by Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt, is expected to be wrapped up by the end of next month. She had planned to fly back to the US after that and return only in August for promotional activity related to her debut film.

However, Sunny may now have to stay back in Mumbai after completingJism 2, to start shooting for Ekta's film.

The Canadian adult film star of Indian origin, whose real name is Karen Malhotra, was famously offeredJism 2on national television while she was a participant onBigg Boss 5last year. Mahesh Bhatt made an entry into the Bigg Boss house specially to offer Sunny a role in the film.

After her elimination fromBigg Boss, Sunny spent time preparing for her role. She took lessons in Hindi and had a crash course in acting.

Shooting forJism 2started on April 1 with a schedule in Jaipur.

The film features Randeep Hooda and Arunoday Singh along with Sunny.

Coming back toRagini MMS 2, Ekta, also called the queen of soaps for her string of successful TV serials, has hinted that the sequel will be bigger and more expensive than the first film, and also steamier and scarier.

With Poonam Pandey and Sunny Leone, December's hot this year!

Even though the Bhatt camp is going all overboard with porn star Sunny Leone in 'Jism 2', the director of the first 'Jism' - Amit Saxena - has roped in sexy siren Poonam Pandey for what appears as a brutal competition as far as skin show is concerned!

Sunny Leone might be good at her job, but Poonam believes herself to be excellent. And given the fact that her maiden venture inBollywood is to happen right during the time when Leone's is slated for, this strip queen is not even a teeny-weeny bit unsettled or nervous. Poonam was also heard saying that she is "neither competing with her (Leone) nor sharing my audience."

Pandey, who shot to fame with her numerous quasi-cloth-shedding endeavours post India's World Cup win last year, is now all set for her debut in the Hindi Film Industry. And her hard work doesn't come easily - it has a hefty sum of Rs. 1 crore attached to it! Yes, you read that right. The leggy Pandey is burning the pockets of Eagle Home Entertainment by a crore for her first film. And the producers are only too happy to oblige.

According to Poonam, her first film in Bollywood is one that has come after a long time - 30-odd-rejected-films-later. And with Amit Saxena (of 'Jism' fame) donning the director's hat, there's hardly any speculation as to what the sensuality quotient of the film would be.

Seems like December is where all eyes are staring at. Poonam or Sunny - who would rule the box office - is yet to be seen. But in the words of Poonam Pandey, they are good at their respective fields! We wish both of them a happy entry into Bollywood!
