Abhishek Katrina Fresh Bollywood Pair

Now Abhishek Bachchan and Katrina Kaif are about to reunite as an on-screen pair in almost three films.

They have signed Tarun Mansukhani’s 'Dostana 2' which would be followed by Rajkumar Santoshi’s comedy and Vipul Shah’s next.

Abhishek–Katrina in comedies
Director Rajkumar Santoshi is quite well known for his quirky comedies.

After ‘Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani,' Santoshi is back with yet another comedy film starring Abhishek and Katrina in the lead.

Santoshi says, “I am really looking forward to directing him [Abhishek] for the first time. There's a very mischievous side to his personality, which has not been tapped in any film. When I wrote this script I thought of him immediately."

Again Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham will play lead characters in the gay-comedy ‘Dostana 2.’ Katrina Kaif has also been signed in to play the love interest of the two characters in the film.

Produced by Karan Johar, ’Dostan 2’ might release in the second half of this year.

Katrina eager to work with Junior B
Earlier gossip columns were abuzz with rumors that Katrina had refused to act opposite Abhishek in Abbas-Mustan’s official remake of ‘Italian Job’ and had left the project citing date problems.

But now after signing consecutive films with Abhishek, Katrina has put all rumors to rest about her being reluctant to work with Junior B.

Katrina says, "I had done one of my earliest films (Sarkar) with Abhishek. And it was great fun. Somehow subsequent projects didn't work out.”

She feels that she hardly knows Abhishek as both were complete different persons when they had first shared their screen space in ‘Sarkar’.

Katrina says, “Now that we’ll be doing so much work together I guess the process of getting to know one another will happen automatically.”

Top Five Bollywood Actors 2010 (Male), Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn

Bollywood has many successful actors. Some of them have made it to the top five due to their popularity, box office records and consistency of performance.

Bollywood is an immensely talented industry. There are hundreds of actors who have made a name for themselves on the silver screen in the past decades. Out of those, based on the best Bollywood movies of 2010, I have picked the top five who have given hits in the past year, and who have been consistently successful in the past decade or more.

Amir Khan

One of the most diverse actors in Bollywood is Amir Khan. His last movie Three Idiots broke all box office records. Not only that, he has a knack for picking the movies with great scripts and with massive audience appeal. Over the years he has managed to build a trust with the audience and any movie of his is bound to get a phenomenal opening. Known as a perfectionist in the industry, he takes a keen interest in the role and does not leave any stone unturned to make his character come alive on the silver screen,

Shah Rukh Khan

Known as "King Khan" in Bollywood, there is no denying that Shah Rukh Khan is a superstar. The hysteria he generates in three generations of moviegoers has to be seen to be believed. He is master of his craft and has gotten better with each release. His last release, My Name is Khan, proved to be an all-time blockbuster. The movie got great reviews and did amazing business in India as well as overseas. It has been dubbed in many languages and shown all over the world. Shah Rukh Khan is sometimes accused of not being a versatile actor, but his screen presence and charisma is such that he lights up the silver screen with his acting

Akshay Kumar

Over a career spanning two decades, Akshay Kumar has proved himself to be a versatile actor. After proving his mettle in action movies, he has performed exceedingly well in both dramatic films as well as comedies. The key to success lies in his hard work, his ability to reinvent himself with each movie and his risk-taking attitude. He has become the true king of comedies with his last few releases, such as Khatta Meetha and Houseful.

Ajay Devgn

Ajay has been slow and steady for most of his career. His last two releases Golmaal 3 and Once Upon a Time in Mumbai have done great business at box office. Not caring much for publicity and awards, Ajay has proven over the years that he has talent and persistence, a deadly combination for anyone wishing to create a permanent place in the film faternity.

Salman Khan

The Brat Khan has been in the film industry for decades and every time the critics have written him down, he has risen from the ashes like a phoenix. His movies garner highest openings among all stars and he is extremely popular in India and overseas. His last two movies, Wanted and Dabaang, were super hits. And he has a huge line up of movies releasing in the next two years and his My Love Story with Kareena Kapoor is one of the highly anticipated movie of 2011.

Best Movies of Bollywood 2010, Bollywood top movies of 2010

Bollywood is the biggest movie Industry in the world. For a new fan of Bollywood who wishes to get acquainted with this industry, here are the movies that garnered the greatest profits this year up until 1st November, 2010:

Dabaang

An action movie, the plot centers around Salman Khan, who plays the character of an unapologetically corrupt policeman who considers himelf the Robin Hood of unprivileged people. The character has many shades and nuances, wonderfully portrayed by Salman Khan. The movie is also the debut vehicle for Sonakshi Sinha, the daughter of Shatrughan Sinha, a famous actor himself. Directed by Abhinav Kashyap, the movie garnered a great opening and has made money for the producers.

Raajneeti

This was a much-awaited movie, directed and produced by Prakhash Jha, a veteran in Bollywood with a stellar list of blockbusters behind him .The plot revolved around the inner struggles for power within a political family. Despite its rather serious dramatic story, the movie managed to garner the attention of the masses. Probably that was due to the sensitivity with which the director conveyed the sensibilities and motives of each and every character.

My name is Khan

A hard hitting drama My name is Khan lived up to the hype created around it by its director Karan Johar. The star case included the onscreen golden couple Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) and Kajol. The plot of the movie revolves around the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy that led to the thousands of Muslims living in USA become the subject of acute harassment. The beautiful portrayal by Kajol of a woman who loses her only child to meaningless hatred serves as a wonderful background to the sensitivity of SRK’s character as he sets off across USA to meet the president of USA in order to win back his wife.

Housefull

Sajid Khan, the director of the movie and Producer Sajid Nadiadwala, laughed all the way to the bank due to this hilarious comedy. The main plot of the story revolved around Akshay Kumar who played a character who believed he was the unluckiest man in the world and had the firm conviction that his luck would change once he found his own true love. In order to find that woman who would turn his life around, he gets embroiled in a web of lies and deception.

Once upon a time in Mumbai

Once Upon a ime in Mumbai got a surprisingly positive response by families despite some gory violent scenes. The story of the film revolved around a gangster, his struggle for power and his lady love. The star cast included Ajay Devgan, Emraan Hashmi, Kangna Ranaut and Prachi Desai, among others. Directed by Milan Luthria, the movie was produced by Ekta and Shobha Kapoor, under the famous Balaji Motion Pictures banner.

Kites

Marketed as a romance, Kites proved itself to be a mix of thriller and romance. Despite a stellar star cast, including Hrithik Roshan and a Spanish actress Barbara Mori, the movie failed to live up to its expectation, although it did make adequate money. Perhaps one of the main reason for the below expected performance of the movie was the fact that half the conversation between the lead actor and actress was in Spanish.

For a romance to click, the audience needs to connect to the developing romance between the couple and since the masses could not understand the dialogues, there was a disconnect from the story. Kites was directed by Anurag Basu and produced by Rakesh Roshan.

I hate luv stories

This highly awaited movie lived up to its expectation. With a light fluffy romance set in the setting of a movie production unit, it had enough drama as well as comic moments to attract the younger crowds as well as family audiences. It was the debut vehicle of director Punit Malhotra, the nephew of famous Indian designer Manish Malhotra. Produced by Karan Johar under the banner of Dharma Productions, the movie was marketed well and made good money for the producer.

Anjaana Anjaani

In this highly anticipated romantic movie, Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra were paired opposite each other for the first time. The interesting thing about the story was its unique plot which featured the two main characters wishing to commit suicide in the movie. Director Siddharth Anand captured the emotions and vulnerability of the characters and made good money for the producer Sajid Nadiadwala.

Khaata Meetha

Khaata Meetha opened to mix reviews and although the movie had extremely high expectation due to the presence of director Priyadarshan and actor Akshay Kumar, both of whom have given big hits together, the movie failed to impress the masses to the degree that had been expected. However, the movie did well and since it was produced by Akshay Kumar, he did not lose money in it. His upcoming movie Thank You is one of the most awaited movie of 2011.

Veer

A romantic period magnum opus written by Salman Khan and having a huge star cast was expected to light the box office on fire. Directed by Anil Sharma, the movie however proved too long for the audience’s appetite and did not do as well as expected. An audience used to the fast paced movies of today failed to connect to the long-winded and slow romance and debutante Zarine Khan did not benefit from this star-studded project as much as she had hoped.

More movies releasing in November include Action Replayy, Golmaal 3, Guzaarish, Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey, Break Ke Baad, No Problem and Tees Maar Khan are still in reckoning as they release later in the year. Most of these have big star actors such as Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Imran Khan, Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Apart from these there are many more movies that will release within the next two months. Wa

Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming films in 2011, Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming films in 2011

Shah Rukh Khan's best year may well be, in 2011. The phenomenon who delivered one big hit in the form of My Name is Khan, lay low for most part of the year. Also he steered free of controversy and whenever they came about, he chose to keep quiet and adopted a dignified stand. Now in 2011, it is Shah Rukh khan’s time as he enters the world of entertainment: a game show called Zor Ka Jhatka and two films; Ra One and Don 2: The Chase Continues.

Also Shah Rukh Khan will be playing the main lead in Chetan Bhagat’s adaption 2 States, that will have him working opposite Illena, the talented South Indian actress.

At the same time, SRK is also toying with the idea of a Rohit Shetty film. His production house is in talks with the Golmaal director for a full-fledged comedy. Shah Rukh Khan, the Bazigaar of the 90s known to take good career risks in the 90s did become a little complacent in the first half of 2000. Though the hits were coming, SRK was criticized for not coming up with novel scripts like Aamir Khan would.

Shah Rukh Khan is all set to change that by going for a sci-fi film Ra. One, a thriller Don 2, a romantic movie based on 2 States and round it up with a family entertainer and comedy; ie ; from the Rohit Shetty stable. And last heard, Yash Chopra is looking for a good romantic script for Shah Rukh khan.

Ra. One’s tentative release date is June 2011 while Don 2 will have the mother of all clashes.Yes, Don 2 is all set to release with Aamir Khan’s thriller on Christmas 2011.
