Alia Bhatt Not 'Standing Opposite' Kareena Kapoor in Udta Punjab

Actress Alia Bhatt, who has starred with Shahid Kapoor in romantic comedy Shaandaar, says that she will feature in her own story in upcoming film Udta Punjab and will not be "standing opposite" Kareena Kapoor Khan in the film. 

"I'm not standing opposite Kareena in Udta Punjab. There are four different tracks in the film. Her track is different from mine. Similarly, Shahid and Diljit Dosanjh will have their own tracks," Alia told IANS. 

Udta Punjab, which is currently under production, will be the first movie in which Alia will co-star with another actress in a film. 

When asked whether she feels competitive in Bollywood, the daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actress Soni Razdan said: "Competition is inevitable in life. But I don't think that one should pay too much attention to what all is happening around. We are all happy people doing good work and just proud and happy for each other." 

So does she feel any pressure being a star kid? 

Alia said: "When I made my debut, I didn't make it in my family production. So it has nothing to do with whether I come from a film background or not. Secondly, my expectations and pressure that I feel is to please the people who watch and appreciate my work." 

"I just wish to please the audience and keep them happy. I try and hope to do as many versatile characters as I can," she added. 

Alia started her career with Student Of The Year and has movies like Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, 2 States and Highway.

Kareena Kapoor Lies About Her Bond With Shahid Kapoor, Ignores Him Once Again!

Remember? Kareena Kapoor openly claimed that she was one among the first to know about her ex-boyfriend, Shahid Kapoor's marriage with Mira Rajput; she said that Shahid himself, had told her about his marriage and she shares a warm bonding with him! But after hearing about what happened recently, we doubt Kareena's words! Kareena was recently shooting for a dance number for her forthcoming film, Ki And Ka at the popular Mehboob studio, located at Mumbai. Shahid also happened to be there, promoting his film, Shaandaar along with his co-star Alia Bhatt. In spite of knowing Shahid's presence there, Kareena opted to ignore Shahid Kapoor. 

But wait, there's more... We also hear that after sometime Kareena got really furious at her staff, after seeing her vanity van parked near Shahid's and instructed her staff loudly, to move her vanity van away from Shahid's! Well, we wonder how this duo is gonna shoot together for their upcoming film, Udta Punjab. We hope things will get better, because for any actor or actress professionalism comes first, right? Meanwhile, check out some Shahid Kareena's flashback pictures!

Happy with what I am paid: Kareena Kapoor

From Hollywood stars to Bollywood celebs, everybody has been actively voicing their opinion on the gender wage gap these days. Kareena Kapoor too has opened up about the disparity in remuneration.
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, the Bollywood diva expressed her lack of concern about the ongoing debate. “Everyone has raised a hue and cry [about the issue], and so many figures are being tossed around, but I’ve never had an issue,” said the actress.
“I’m not complaining about the fact that I’m not paid well. I don’t know what others get but I know what I get paid. And the fact is, I’m very happy with that,” she added.

She also revealed that the audience just cares about “good scripts” nowadays, it doesn’t matter if the lead role is played by a male or a female actor.
“It’s good to say that heroine-oriented films are working now, but I think it’s just the good scripts. And hopefully, we will get a lot more entertaining scripts in time to come,” she added.

Bebo is perfectly balancing her career and marital life, but it seems the ghosts of her past will keep on haunting her. Everyone was surprised when Vishal Bhardwaj announced the cast of his next film Rangoon which will feature Bebo’s husband Saif Ali Khan and her ex-beau Shahid Kapoor in lead roles.

When asked how the director managed to convince Shahid and Saif to star together, he revealed, “Mera bas chalta toh main Kareena ko bhi cast karta (If things were in my hands, I would have cast Kareena, too). But no, this is not the thing. The role was only written for Kangana Ranaut. Saif and Shahid are amazing actors,” reports Pinkvilla.

I’m not complaining about getting paid less: Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor Khan has been one of the most popular actors in Bollywood for over a decade now. She says that, even today, she is as passionate about her work as she was when she was a newcomer, because cinema is her greatest passion. She made her debut at the age of 20 (with Refugee, 2000), and till date has starred in around 50 films. Yet, she shows no signs of slowing down. Here, she talks about wanting to act “all her life”, and more.

You have acted in different kinds of films. What do you see yourself doing in the future?

I want to act all my life. It’s something that I do and love. I just want to try out different things. I’m glad that I am in a position to choose. I’m happy because my journey in the industry has been amazing so far. I enjoy what I do and I’m very passionate about it. Even 25 years down the line, I want to give an interview and say that there’s still something that I haven’t done; that there’s that one movie I can still do.

It’s believed that there’s been a change in your attitude, and you’ve become more approachable over the years…

I think that’s part of becoming more mature. And that comes with time. I belong to the film industry. I was born here. From the age of 16, it’s always been about films for me. And movies are my life. A normal person would have attended college, proms, socials, etc.; I never had the privilege of doing all that. But it’s something I never miss. There are other things that I can do now, which I enjoy. I take my time out, travel, read… So, I’m making up for it now in other ways.

Actresses often express their views on the disparity between the pay cheques of male and female stars in Bollywood. What are your thoughts on this?

A hue and cry is raised, and so many figures go around. But I’ve never had an issue. I’m not complaining about the fact that I’m not paid well. I don’t know what others get, but I know what I get paid, and the fact is, I’m very happy with that.

Do the budgets of your films determine how much you get paid?

When you’re working on a big-budget film, then obviously your pay is more. Budgets of heroine-oriented films are a lot less, and that’s how the movie makes money at the box office. I’ve always balanced things out by doing big-budget films for the fat paycheques, along with smaller films for the interesting roles. So, I have no complaints.

Are women getting better roles and opportunities in Bollywood now?

I think the audience is accepting of good scripts now. It’s as simple as that. The lead can be a man or a woman. It doesn’t matter.

Heroine-oriented scripts have been working since Aradhana (1969) and Seeta Aur Geeta (1972). Karisma (Kapoor; Kareena’s older sister) did Fiza (2000) and Zubeidaa (2001). Every film works mainly because of its entertainment value. For example, Bajrangi Bhaijaan is a Salman Khan film, but it’s the story that worked, and the child actor (Harshaali Malhotra) carried the film on her shoulders. It’s good to say that heroine-oriented films are working now, but I think it’s just the good scripts. And we, hopefully, will get a lot more entertaining scripts in the time to come.

Here is why Kareena Kapoor Khan refused to get intimate with Arjun Kapoor in 'Ki and Ka'

Bollywood diva Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is following the no kissing policy after she married Saif Ali Khan, was uncomfortable about getting intimate with Arjun Kapoor in "Ki & Ka".

R Balki's directorial features Kareena and Arjun as a married couple and thus, the script demanded a few intimate scenes. But Bebo conveyed her discomfort to the director and he had to then dilute the scenes, according to Absolute India.

In the flick, Kareena will play the character of an independent, career-oriented woman who is the breadwinner of the house. On the other hand, her co-star Arjun will portray a house husband.

"Ki & Ka" has created a lot of buzz since the beginning and the interesting title of the film -- 'Ki' derived from the word 'ladki' (girl) and 'Ka' is taken from 'ladka' (boy) -- has got fans even more curious.

The film is about a boy and a girl who get married, but their lifestyle is different from regular couples.

Director Balki is working hard to make it a masterpiece and before the shooting commenced, he, Arjun and Kareena were ''locked up" in the director's office for a week to rehearse the script.

The film also features Amitabh Bachchan and wife Jaya in a special appearance.

The reel and real life couple is going to share screen space after 14 years. They last appeared together on-screen in Karan Johar's "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham".

Meanwhile, Big B and R Balki are teaming up for the fourth time after "Cheeni Kum", "Paa" and "Shamitabh".
