What is Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Alia Bhatt's 'Udta Punjab' About?



While Udta Punjab has been making news for its cast, especially since Kareena Kapoor Khan has given her nod to a film which also stars ex-boyfriend Shahid Kapoor. And also because Alia Bhatt will be working in the same film as her favorite actress Kareena. But do not be fooled into thinking it is a love story. Director Abhishek Chaubhey's film "Udta Punjab" starring Shahid, Alia, Kareena and Punjabi star Diljit Dosanj is, in fact, a gritty thriller.
The film revolves around the drug mafia and drug abuse in Punjab. The four stars will play pivotal role in the tale. Do you get the meaning of the title now?
Chaubhey, who has earlier made "Ishqiya," and "Dedh Ishqiya" is known to set his films in the heartland of India. "Udta Punjab" will be be the first mainstream film which will show a realistic side of the drug abuse problem in the state.

Red Carpet report card: Kangana Ranaut and Kareena Kapoor look rocking this week!



Kangana Ranaut looked chic in a powder blue Gauri and Nainika dress with a floral applique motif. The actress paired the ensemble with a Dior purse and heels and left her signature curls opened. We love how Kangs channelled the '60s style flare look.
Going for gold
Sonam Kapoor attended the Armani Privé show in Paris wearing an ensemble from their Spring 2015 line. The plunging neckline, the organza pants, the smokey eye look and sleeked back chignon – all worked beautifully together.
Red alert
This red strapless number that Shraddha Kapoor opted for at Sanjay Leela Bhansali's party did nothing for the svelte actress. The length seems wrong as does the fit that only makes her appear skinny. Wish she had made more effort with her locks and by adding some accessories instead of this bare look.
Rock chic
Priyanka Chopra has been experimenting with her style recently and we love the result. She paired an Alexander McQueen studded tank with black denims and a striking fur vest. She completed the look with a dark red pout and flaunted her new shorter hair do.
Monochrome moment
Lisa Ray chose a white and black jumpsuit for a recent book launch event. While we liked the pulled back hair and the Amrapali long jewels, the lips and eye make-up seemed a little off. Also, she could've traded her handbag for a clutch.
Subtle beauty
On the occasion of her sis-in-law Soha's wedding, Kareena Kapoor looked radiant in a Manish Malhotra pink sari paired with an embellished choli. While the outfit was relatively simple, she had an emerald and diamond set adorning her neck and ears. Kudos for the subtle make-up and hair do.

Karisma Kapoor's Special Gift For Sister Kareena Kapoor Khan

Kareena Kapoor-Khan worked extra hard to make it in time for sis-in-law Soha’s wedding. A source reveals, “Kareena was working on Karan Johar’s upcoming production. While Soha’s wedding was planned at short notice, the dates for the song shoot were also given in advance. So it wasn’t possible to shift either commitment.” Bebo finished the shoot in 48 hours, attended the mehendi function and went back to wrap up her shoot to attend the wedding in peace!
Perhaps Kareena’s quality of making time for her loved ones moved big sis Karisma so much that she gifted Bebo an ancestral ring. A source said, “Karisma and Kareena are very close as it is, and the latter decided to use the occasion to gift her baby sister something that was close to her heart. It was a ring that their grandmother, Krishna Raj Kapoor, had gifted her around two decades ago.”

Security Outside Kareena Kapoor Khan’s Residence After Threat Calls

Kareena-Kapoor-Khan

Almost couple of weeks ago actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, who has graced the covers of a lot of magazines, was a cover girl of Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s women magazine ‘Himalaya Dhwani’.
After this, the actress is said to have beefed up her personal security. Reports suggest that she has hired two bodyguards besides tightening the security at her Bandra residence.
Durga Vahini morphed Kareena’s picture and used it for ‘Ghar Wapisi’ campaign against ‘Love Jihad’. ‘Ghar Wapisi’ campaign’s agenda is to “reconvert” Hindu women who married Muslim men.

Kareena Kapoor Khan became the target of the campaign just because she married actor Saif Ali Khan in 2012. In the latest issue of ‘Himalaya Dhwani’ Magazine’s cover, Bebo’s picture is morphed in a way that half her face is covered in a niqab (veil), whereas half face sports sindoor.
The line underneath actress Kareena’s morphed image reads “Conversion of nationality through religious conversion”.
The actress is concerned about her safety rather than on going debate on Love Jihad. Bodygaurds have been hired for safety, there were no serious threats to her life.

Kareena Kapoor Khan: 'Hopefully I will have a family of my own'

Kareena Kapoor Khan has revealed she plans to have children someday.

The actress is married to Saif Ali Khan, who already has two children - Ibrahim and Sara - from his first marriage to Amrita Singh.

Kareena Kapoor displays a creation by Namrata Joshipura at the grand finale during the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai, India, Tuesday, March 26, 2013

In an interview with Femina magazine, the 33-year-old star said: "I have been lucky to experience both professional success and a fulfilling personal life. So hopefully, I would be having a family of my own.

"Saif and I would continue to live in India. But we will see the world with our children. When I turn 70, I should be sitting in a large dining room with my family, and just laughing, eating and drinking," she said.

The actress is currently shooting Bajrangi Bhaijaan with Salman Khan, and is due to begin work on a thriller to be directed by Raj Kumar Gupta.

It has been reported that she has walked out of the Mohammaed Azharuddin biopic after committing to Abhishek Chaubey's Udta Punjab.

Kareena Kapoor Khan to shake a leg with Sidharth Malhotra in Brothers

Kareena Kapoor Khan to shake a leg with Sidharth Malhotra in Brothers!

That Bebo is doing an item number in KJo’s upcoming production venture is known to all. But we hear the actress will be seen grooving with Sid in the song. Now how cool is that?

Apart from acting, Kareena Kapoor Khan is also known for her killer moves. The B-town beauty has done quite a few item numbers and surprisingly all of them turned out to be chart busters. Be it Fevicol, Halkat jawani or retro number from Don, Yeh mera dil. While Saif Ali Khan’s wifey is currently busy shooting for Kabir Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan, we will soon get to see her doing an item song. Karan Johar has roped in Bebo for a special song which will feature in the former’s upcoming production venture Brothers. While the film stars two heroes – Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra, Ms Khan will be seen grooving with the latter. Yes, the item song in Johar’s film will have Kareena and Sidharth showing off their moves together.
Though the Ek Villain actor has no heroine opposite him in the film, we are pretty sure he isn’t complaining now that he’ll share screen space with Begum who he looks up to. We hear director Karan Malhotra is going all out to make sure this special number turns out to be sizzling. In that case, we can’t wait to see what’s in store for us. Also, two extremely good looking people are coming together so double the curiosity!

While Kareena's husband, actor Saif Ali Khan has fathered two kids she perhaps is looking to have kids of her own

Kareena Kapoor Khan

Actress Kareena Kapoor Khan is in the mood for a family. And while her husband, actor Saif Ali Khan has fathered two kids Kareena perhaps is looking to have kids of her own. Saif has a son, Ibrahim and a daughter, Sara, from his ex-wife, actress Amrita Singh.

In an interview to the Femina magazine Kareena spoke about aging gracefully. She said, "I think I am the biggest advocate of ageing gracefully. I love the lines of a face as they describe the life you have lived. Grey hair makes you look very elegant. I am happy to grow old naturally. Botox is just not for me."

But while the rest of the read was about her being crowned the most beautiful what interested us was this: "I have been lucky to experience both professional success and a fulfilling personal life. So hopefully, I would be having a family of my own. Saif and I would continue to live in India. But we will see the world with our children. When I turn 70, I should be sitting in a large dining room with my family, and just laughing, eating and drinking."

Family is clearly Kareena's priority now but we are yet to see whether Saif is ready to be dad a third time.

Meanwhile there are reports that Kareena may have walked out of the Mohd Azharuddin biopic. And while there were rumours that Kareena would essay the role of Sangeeta Bijlani in the film, it now seems that there are date issues and Kareena wouldn't be doing the film at all.

Abhishek Chaubey's Udta Punjab could reportedly be the reason behind Kareena's walk out. Abhishek has directed films like Ishqiya and its sequel Dedh Ishqiya, films that have a cult following of their own. We hope Kareena is right and the babies, they would only make us happy.

She is happy to be part of the film and doesn't understand why her name is being dragged into this for publicity."

Kareena Kapoor: VHP magazine’s cover girl on ‘Love Jihad’

Love Jihad seems to be a part of long-term VHP, Bajrang Dal and larger Sangh brotherhood strategy. Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s light reprimand doesn’t seem to have worked.
Either these people who are working overtime to vitiate the atmosphere across the country are not fearful of his retribution or they have the ashirwaad of the higher-ups. In the otherwise case it wouldn’t have been possible for these guys to continue ranting such lopsided arguments.
And the latest victim of the Love Jihad conspiracy is none other than the top rated female actor in Bollywood, Kareena Kapoor. One of the finest actors in the Indian cinema today, her image has been morphed onto the cover page of a VHP magazine.
saif ali khan karina kapurThe VHP’s women wing’s magazine “Himalaya Dhwani” latest issue has printed Kareena Kapoor’s morphed image on the cover page of the magazine that is distributed among its cadres across the nation. half of her face has been covered by a burqa. The pictures of Kapoor, who married actor Saif Ali Khan, has gone viral with many raising eyebrows over the raging row over religious conversions and reconversions and demanding action against the magazine.
The leading Sangh affiliates that is used to voice rabble rousing issues, however, has claimed that the magazine brought out by its Himachal unit is for internal circulation and has tried to highlight the issue as also religious conversions in Himachal Pradesh.
The issue has taken a political overtones too. Congress criticised the use of Kareena’s picture, saying it is a assault on her privacy and sought action against the magazine. The magazine’s cover story also reads, “Dharmantaran se rashtraantaran” meaning “change of religion leads to change of nation” in the cover article that has highlighted the issue of religious conversions of Hindu women addressed as ‘love jihad’.
On the other hand VHP leaders are defending their actions. RajniThukral, one of the magazine editors, who is also the coordinator of DurgaVahini, the women’s youth wing of VHP for the region, has defended the article and Kapoor’s picture. “The issue of ‘Love Jihad’ started in the country some 12 to 15 years ago and there have been 4,000 cases registered on how Muslim boys have allegedly enticed Hindu girls in love and later treated them badly. In Himachal, such incidents have happened and 16 such cases have come to light last year. We have tried to highlight the issue to create public awareness,” she said. Defending the use of Kareena’s morphed picture and her case to highlight the issue, she said, “Kareena is an icon and role model. Youth try to emulate and follow her.” Thukral questioned if they are in love, why did she have to convert and why Saif did not convert to a Hindu.

Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan shooting in Shekhawati and Mandawa

#

The region of Shekhawati in North Rajasthan famous for its lavish havelis, became host to Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor and director Kabir Khan who descended on this sleepy historical region on Sunday morning.

Apparently, Shekhawati has none of the amenities that Salman and Kareena are used to.

Says a source from the location, "Salman Khan is used to roughing it out. He can survive even on basic necessities. But for Kareena who lives lavishly in the lap of luxury, Shekhawati is a far cry from her Begum's lifestyle."

Adds the source, "Not that Kareena has not roughed it out during her outdoors. She shot at the Indo-Pak border for her first film Refugee. And she shot in some really rugged terrain for Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met in places where they didn't have proper hotels. But Shekhawati is a different experience. It is a very ethnic Rajasthani region. Kareena loves the people food and the ambiance already."

Apparently the unit has set up all the comfort requirements for the shooting. Salman Khan who flew straight after the recording of his finale on Bigg Boss is said to be "cool" with the locals.

Says the locational eyewitness, "Salman bhai is mingling freely with the local people of Shekhawati trying to pick up their dialect, eating their food and looking around at the forts and havelis between shots."

Director Kabir Khan who likes to choose unusual locations says, "We have set up amenities and it's actually quite comfortable here, considering I shot in Afghanistan for Kabul Express."

Apart from that, the cast and crew also visited Mandawa, in Rajasthan Jhunjhuna district. However, the smooth shooting in the town was interrupted when the surrounding was flooded with fans of Salman and Kareena. In fact, the situation went a little out of control and the police had to intervene. Hence the actors were asked to stay inside the vanity van till until the issue is sorted. There were rumours about the police resorting to mild lathi charge but filmmaker Kabir Khan denied it.

Ayushmann Khurrana not good enough to be paired opposite Kareena Kapoor?

Ayushmann Khurrana not good enough to be paired opposite Kareena Kapoor?

It certainly looks like because the Vicky Donor actor who was part of Abhishek Chaubey’s Udta Punjab till recently has now backed off from the project. And we hear Ms Khan probably has something to do with it…

Not too long ago, we told you that Kareena Kapoor Khan is all set to team up with her ex-boyfriend Shahid Kapoor. The ex-lovers will be coming together for Abhishek Chaubey’s Udta Punjab which also stars Alia Bhatt. While we all are eager to see the Jab We Met co-stars on the big screen once again, the two aren’t actually paired opposite each other in the film. The Singham Returns actress was supposed to share screen space with Ayushmann Khurrana in Chaubey’s directorial venture. However, the Hawaizaada actor has now been shown the exit door. While Khurrana’s spokesperson has maintained that the B-town hunk is no longer part of the film because of date issues, there is another angle to this whole Ayushmann’s exit story.
Reportedly, Saif Ali Khan’s wifey is the reason why the Paani Da Rang singer isn’t doing Shahid-Alia starrer anymore. Well, Bebo wants to work with STARS and looks like Ayushmann doesn’t fall under that category at least for the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actress. We say so because Kareena had most of her scenes with the Nautanki Saala actor in Udta Punjab which wethinks she wasn’t happy with as she made it quite clear to the makers that she will only work with stars. That’s not all! Mr Khurrana’s boyish looks were also a problem for the Begum. A source told a leading tabloid, “Since Bebo isn’t paired with Shahid, most of her scenes were with Ayushmann, who looked a little too young. Chaubey and Aayushmann then decided to team up for another project as this one wasn’t meant to be.”
Now it won’t be surprising if this grapevine is indeed true because Bebo is just being Bebo, hai na? It seems after doing away with her ‘I-will-only-work-with-my- friends’ funda, KKK has now got a new criteria as far as doing a film is concerned. It’s okay to have filters and wishlists but its more important to have the rights ones, no peeps? Guess Karisma Kapoor’s little sister has forgotten Anurag Kashyap’s advice – “You should not ask who is in the film, you should ask what is the film (about).”
As for Ayushmann looking too young, well, even Shahid had a baby face initially but that didn’t stop Kareena from working with him, so why so much fuss now?

Fans go berserk on sets of Salman Khan starrer 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'



After finding it difficult to control the irate fans, the police had to resort to mild lathicharge to disperse them.

"The policemen had a tough time keeping onlookers at bay as they kept gathering in large numbers to see Salman and Kareena. When the crowd became unmanageable, the police had to use force. The shoot was called off and the actors were asked to stay in their vanity vans till the situation became normal," the source added.

However, the shoot resumed after a couple of hours of the incident.

"The police chief in Mandawa has constituted a team to look into the security arrangements so that the film unit can continue shooting without any hitch," the source said.

However, director Kabir Khan denied the buzz and said, "There was no lathicharge here."

'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', which stars Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan in lead roles, will also have Nawazuddin Siddiqui playing a pivotal role.

The film revolves around the love story of a Muslim guy and a Hindu girl. It is slated for an Eid 2015 release.

Will Kareena Kapoor say yes to Shahid Kapoor-starrer 'Udta Punjab'?

Will Kareena Kapoor say yes to Shahid Kapoor-starrer 'Udta Punjab'?

Will former lovers Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor reunite on the big screen? The question has been hanging heavy lately.

The director trying to pull off the near impossible feat of getting Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor in the same film is Abhishek Chaubey who has earned his stripes with critically acclaimed flicks like Ishqiya and Dedh Ishqiya.

Now, Chaubey is set to direct a film titled ‘Udta Punjab’ with Shahid Kapoor in the lead.

Alia Bhatt has already been finalized for the film and we hear that Chaubey is also trying to rope in Kareena Kapoor for a pivotal role.

Kareena and Shahid last worked together in the 2007 flick Jab We Met that ironically came out at the time when they separated as a couple. The split wasn’t amicable and for seven years the two have not worked together despite claiming that they have no problem doing a film together.

Will 2015 change that? We’ll wait and watch.

Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor to shoot ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ in Kashmir

Kashmir is fast becoming the preferred shooting destination for Bollywood. The latest to head to the valley is the Bajrangi Bhaijaan unit.

We hear Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor will shoot major portions of the film in Kashmir valley in February or March, depending on the whether situation there. Director Kabir Khan has confirmed that it will be a month-long shooting schedule.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan has so far been shot in Delhi and Karjat. The schedule in Kashmir is surely good news for all the Salman Khan fans in the valley.

Needless to say that all the necessary security measures will be taken to ensure the safety of the film crew.

Kabir Khan shot for a few important sequences of Phantom with Saif Ali Khan in Gulmarg. And director Abhishek Kapoor filmed his Fitoor with Aditya Roy Kapur and Rekha in Kashmir.

Finally, Kashmir seems to be regaining its deserved place in Bollywood films.

Salman Khan makes Kareena, Kabir, Himesh paint an entire village

Salman Khan makes Kareena, Kabir, Himesh paint an entire village

Salman Khan and his ‘being human’ traits know no boundaries. And the recent to prove this is Salman’s latest act of benevolence. During the shoot of his Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer ‘Bjarangi Bhaijaan’ in Karjat, Salman painted an entire village and distributed sarees to the village women.
The actor made a surprising announcement after day’s pack-up and asked the film’s team including Kareena Kapoor, Kabir Khan and Himesh Reshammiya to join him along with a bunch of professional painters.
The unit of the film successfully managed to paint every house, the village library and even the water tank in an approximate time of five hours.
Salman further made the young boys from the village play a game of football with him. Not only this, the man with a golden heart and superstar qualities even anointed a house wall with his art. Salman made a painting and gifted it to a family as wall hanging.

According to the sources, the whole idea of doing this creative social work struck Salman when he made a visit to ND Studios in Karjat through the village of Hatluni. While he was going to-and-fro with the shoot of his films Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the actor relentlessly felt the urge to transform the village’s look.
The houses that today look brightly coloured with pink and yellow were once jeopardized with all mud, wood, shoddy roofs and tin. When asked, the locals revealed that they were smitten by Salman’s overwhelming attitude.
The villagers further say that even though Salman doesn’t speak and understand Marathi properly, he was more-than-respectful and lovable to each one of them.
