It's official: Tees Maar Khan is a remake

We had earlier reported that Farah Khan's [ Images ] upcoming Tees Maar Khan seems to be a ripoff of Italian master Vittorio De Sica's After The Fox.

Now, it emerges that Khan and co-producers UTV have officially bought the remake rights from Metro Goldwyn Mayer.

"The plot of the film (of pretending to shoot a film to get away with a robbery) is the same as After The Fox, which is very funny," says Khan. "But for some reason, the film didn't do well at that point, I don't know why. And we've changed everything else. Akshay isn't a master of disguise, the girl isn't his sister, we're on a moving train, and the villains have been changed. Everything's made bigger and brighter, and more relevant to today's scenario."

"And I haven't tried even once to make Akshay act like Peter Sellers," she added.

Italian neorealist master De Sica, best known for the 1948 classic Bicycle Thieves, ventured into spoofy territory with After The Fox, a 1966 comedy featuring Peter Sellers as a master of disguise who mounts a fake film production in order to get away with a daring gold heist.

In the process, the filmmaker lampooned fellow filmmakers Michelangelo Antonioni [ Images ], Federico Fellini [ Images ] and himself, among various other cinematic luminaries. Clearly this gives Khan, the director of Om Shanti Om [ Images ], quite the room for Bollywood-spoofing.

"I'm always torn apart by critics for my stories, and this time I can say the joke's on them and the story is by Neil Simon," laughs Farah, two days ahead of Tees Maar Khan's release.

Ram Gopal Varma's upcoming Bejawada Rowdylu

Everyone knows that Ram Gopal Varma's upcoming Bejawada Rowdylu is shrouded in secrecy. Though RGV is mum about the cast and plot, we know that the movie is based on the gangsters in Vijayawada, where RGV spent his engineering college days. The title song of Bejawada Rowdylu is already out and RGV recently gave a link from his Twitter page, which showed an animated kid dancing to the song. RGV sent shivers down the spine of viewers when he showed the bloody politics of Rayalaseema region in Rakht Charitra. Sources reveal that Bejawada Rowdylu too will be blatant in showing the dark side of Vijayawada. The movie, even before taking shape, is drawing criticism from Vijayawada-based politicians, who allege RGV to be an irresponsible man who makes profits by showing violence on screen.Vamsi Mohan calls RGV mad fellow

Shah Rukh Khan More Pics

It seems SRK still holds a grudge against Farah Khan. Why else would he at the recent Mumbai Police Mela, try and divert the crowd's attention away from Tees Maar Khan's publicity campaign?

While Shah Rukh's patch ups with Vishal Bhardwaj, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Sunil Gavaskar and Aishwarya Rai have been the talk of town for a while, it seems the actor is in no mood to mend his differences with ex-best friend Farah Khan.

It appears as though King Khan is still upset with Farah for choosing Akshay Kumar in Tees Maar Khan over him. On Sunday, at the Mumbai Police Mela in Andheri, Shah Rukh tried to sabotage Farah's Tees Maar Khan publicity campaign by diverting the crowd's attention.

Apparently, SRK, who was backstage at the time when Farah, Akshay and Katrina began the Tees Maar Khan act on stage, suddenly walked out into the audience, accompanied by his entourage of 8-10 bodyguards.

An eyewitness told Mumbai Mirror, "SRK and his bodyguards started walking towards the audience. Sab logon ka dhyaan SRK par chala gaya. And though they glanced at Farah, Akshay and Katrina, their attention was divided."

You wonder if Farah or Akshay noticed this. Says the eyewitness, "What could they do? Farah and Akshay just shrugged their shoulders and smiled."

All three Farah, Akshay and Katrina completed their act but Shah Rukh had definitely managed to steal the limelight away from them to a great extent.

Added the eyewitness, "Surely, SRK knew what he was doing. If a person of his stature walks into the audience, whose head wouldn't turn?"

Grapevine has it that SRK too is waiting with bated breath for Tees Maar Khan to release in theatres, to see if his absence in the film has any effect on its collections. But that's something only time will tell.

mallika:malaika hot to me

Her gift of the gab only serves to heighten the charm of"mallika sherawat"Quotable quotes, fast and furious, emanate from Sherawat who clearly makes the day (noon, eve and night too) for pen pushers angling for a celeb with spunk.

Sample this one, for starters: "I'd like to seduce the whole country," states Mallika, speaking of 'Seduction 2011,' her enigmatic performance in the show slated for Dec 31, 2010 at a swanky five star hotel in Mumbai.

"I'm a salt of the Indian earth and my heart beats for my country, no matter where I stay," says Sherawat. "I'm like the tree whose branches and leaves are spread all over, but the roots are in India."

Peeved over allegations that a large section of telly viewers found her dances to be rather indecent Mallika sweetly socks it back stating, "Well, if you find it so vulgar, switch off your TV. Nobody has put a gun to your head and forced you to watch my performance."

When queried about whether she'd like to groove to 'Munni badnaam' or 'Sheila ki jawaani', Mallika states, "I'd go with whatever my fans want me to dance to. Their wish is my command."

A similar sounding name to Malaika, both famed for their seductive bit and sharp gyrations in chartbusters, Mallika, canny star that she is, squashes all comparisons between her and Arbaaz's spouse stating, "For me, Malaika is the hottest Khan."

From a nurse to a sex worker, it could be the most radical character overhaul in modern Hindi cinema.

From a nurse to a sex worker, it could be the most radical character overhaul in modern Hindi cinema.

Karan Johar’s remake of the 1990 film Agneepath starring Hrithik, is surely going to be a hell lot different from the Mukul Anand film that fetched Amitabh bachchan a National Award. We hear that to make the film appealing to the present-day movie aficionado, Karan has decided to dump the character of the nurse played by Madhavi in the original and replace it with a dark complexioned sex worker.

Whoa! That’s some character transformation.

But here’s the clincher. Karan has reportedly zeroed down onPriyanka chopra to play the role. We hear that PC will play a prostitute named Kaali in the remake.

Just a few weeks back, Karan had said that he can’t envision PC playing a nurse. Now we know what he had on his mind.

Mallika Sherawat is getting ready for theDhoom.

Being produced on 'Manadesham' movies banner, this bi-lingual will have Sameera Reddy and Karthi playing the lead roles with Samantha. Sameera Reddy too has been a favourite heroine for Gautam Menon. She played the lead with Suriya in ' Surya S/o Krishnan' directed by Gautam.

Katrina Kaif was scared to dance in 'Sheila Ki Jawani'

Everyone in the industry who has worked with Farah Khan knows that the lady is a tough taskmaster. Naturally, the pressure was high on Katrina Kaif while shooting Sheila Ki Jawani for Tees Maar Khan. The actress was dead scared.
Kat is not that good a dancer (judging from her earlier dancing numbers), and she had never done a proper smoldering item song till now. So, before doing Sheila Ki Jawani she was frightened that Farah might scold or shout at her for not getting the steps right. In fact, the film’s lead actor Akshay Kumar too has admitted that Farah is ‘bossy’ and many men are scared of her.

Though the choreographer-director was confident about Kat, the actress wasn’t sure whether she will be able to pull off this sizzling number. The song, full on jhatka-matka, required Kat to move her body like Shakira and act like Madhuri Dixit.

As Kat is quoted as saying about dancing to Sheila Ki Jawani, “I was getting cold feet and my hands were shaking.”

Who will believe this; Kat is incredible in the song, isn’t she!

Rani Mukherjee and Aditya Chopra are all set to tie the knot early next year. Or are they? According to reports circulating in the media, an engagement is soon on the cards for this actress – director jodi who apparently came close while working on various films together. Rani Mukherjee – Aditya Chopra relationship had created quite a furore in the recent past when the news first surfaced in the media. Apparently, Aditya’s relationship with Rani was the cause of his breakup with Payel Khanna, his wife for eight years.

Though the news has not been confirmed by the families of Rani Mukherjee or Aditya Chopra, media has been speculating on the impending wedding

ever since Payel Khanna filed divorce papers last year. It had also been reported then that Yash Chopra, father of Aditya Chopra and the head of the Yash Raj Films, did not support his son when he started his illicit relationship with Rani.

If all goes according to plans, the couple will get engaged formally early next year and will also tie the knot very soon after the engagement. Though Rani Mukherjee and Aditya Chopra

have been in a relationship for quite a long time now, they have been very low key about their affair.

Sonakshi is not game for lovemaking scenes

We have reported earlier that actress Sonakshi Sinha has been signed for Race 2 produced by Ramesh Taurani and directed by Abbas-Mustan. A section of the media reported that she would shed her innocent look in Dabangg and get steamy in Race 2. But the latest we hear is that she is against lovemaking and steamy scenes.

and Deepika Padukone would be lot hotter than the original version but Sonakshi has drawn a line for herself. It is said that she has made it clear to the makers of Race 2 that she would not do lovemaking and steamy scenes whatsoever.

Mallika Sherawat is hot and sexy

Mallika Sherawat is hot and sexy, and she is also candid. Therefore, the Bollywood bombshell does not shy away from speaking her mind out. She wrote on her Twitter page that 'Salman Khan is a pussycat', Shahrukh Khan is 'king of charisma' and Hrithik Roshan is 'Talent plus beauty! Lethal'.

When she was asked by her followers on her micro blogging site as to who her favourite Khan from the film industry was, Mallika Sherawat did not waste a minute before replying. And why should she waste time, as she has only three options to choose from, Aamir, Shahrukh or Salman. However, none of the Bollywood biggies have been able to win the heart of Mallika darling. So is it Saif Ali Khan or the rising star Imran Khan?

You may keep guessing but never will you be able to arrive at the correct name! Well, Mallika Sherawat’s favourite Khan from Bollywood is Malaika Arora Khan! Now, who would have expected this answer? We are well aware of how the ladies in Bollywood always remain at daggers drawn towards each other, and we are also aware that both Mallika and Malaika vie for the number one item girl tag of the Hindi film industry. But that definitely is not reason enough for Mallika Sherawat to stop praising Malaika Arora Khan
