Sanjay Dutt came in his red sports car on Sunday evening to Aalim Hakim’s studio in Bandra for his ninth tattoo. The actor, who has four on his back, two on his chest, two of his forearm and the lastest one on his upperarm, has designed every one of the tattoos personally. Dutt admitted, “I’m addicted to the tattoo needles, and everytime I want to feel high, I call my tattooist Vishwas and ask him to keep the needles ready.”
The incredible hulk…who Bollywood calls a true-blue rock star, bore the pain with a smile (check the photograph!) and the Samurai came alive on his arm. Dressed in a sleeveless jacket and orange trackpants, Dutt was in a good mood and clicked photographs with fans surrounding his car.
Next day, while dubbing for Blue and All The Best simultaneously — his next two films, Dutt showed of his tattoo like an excited school kid. Stylist Aalim said, “Baba has one of the best bodies in Bollywood and these tattoos only add to his personality.”

Guinness Book of World Records for playing the highest number of characters in one film. A feat that the actress has accomplished with her 12 avatars in Ashutosh Gowariker’s forthcoming film What’s Your Raashee?
The producer has sent the actresses’ name to be officially entered in the Guinness. “If this does happen, it will be phenomenal,” said Priyanka excitedly. “I’m overjoyed and honoured to be a part of this record-breaking film.”
Producer Sunita Gowariker, who’s equally elated, revealed, “Priyanka has not only played 12 different roles, but breathed life into 12 distinct characters without the aide of any prosthetics. Few people realise how difficult a challenge it is. This we gauged when we spoke to the Guinness officials. No actor has ever played so many different roles in cinema of any language. So it truly is a world record.”

Adnan Sami is a proud father thanks to his son, Azaan, who is now following his daddy’s footsteps. Azaan is ready for his big Bollywood debut as a singer and composer. He has been signed on to sing for Darsheel Safary who plays the lead in Percept Picture Company’s forthcoming film, Bumm Bumm Bole. A source said, “Shailendra Singh, MD of PPC, and director Priyadarshan were in the midst of a music sitting for Bumm Bumm Bole. Priyan told Singh that he wanted refreshingly different and inspiring songs, especially for the climax when Darsheel wins a race after facing a lot of difficulty. Shailendra, who had earlier heard Azaan’s voice and had loved it, suddenly came up with the idea of having him on board. Priyan too loved Azaan’s voice. He will sing as well as compose all the three songs in the film.”
Shailendra Singh said, “Yes, we have signed Azaan for his Bollywood debut as singer and composer. He’s barely 15 years old and his voice has a raw feel, which Priyan appreciated. Azaan’s music is quite inspiring and suits the uplifting mood of Bumm Bumm Bole.” An excited Adnan said, “I am happy that Azaan’s first assignment as a composer is with Priyadarshan and PPC. I am immensely proud and happy as a father. I am eagerly waiting to hear his songs.” |
Wear a Karan Johar!

on:![]() While on the subject of clothes, he also confesses to having jeans and shirts in all sizes for the very unwelcome event that he might one day become fat again. “The trouble is, that in my mind I am still a fat boy,” he admitted ruefully, one day. And so it comes as no surprise at all to hear that Karan has now decided to launch his own clothing line in collaboration with Varun Bahl. Reportedly, it will be launched on October 16 at the couture week which will be on at that time. And we hear that while Imran Khan and Ranbir Kapoor will open the showing, the show stopper will be, but naturally, Shah Rukh Khan with Gauri Khan being the only female model. Karan Johar confirmed that he was launching his own line with Varun Bahl. “I have been designing for Shah Rukh Khan for 12 years and it is a given that he will be part of my first collection. It will be a menswear collection and will have several other elements which will be a pleasant surprise but I am still in the process of finalising these and so can’t comment at the moment,” he said. The line will be called ‘Karan Johar with Varun Bahl’ |

Karan Johar is leaving no stone unturned to give his film My Name Is Khan a unique look. He has recreated New York at Film City and now a flood sequence is being shot there. Apparently, Karan has ordered for thousands of litres of water in tankers to depict the flood.
Our source from the sets said, “The entire set will be under water for the next few days. It is going to be a difficult shoot and Karan is tensed about it. This is one of the most important sequences in the film and all precautions are being taken. Many tankers have been called to fill the set with water and Karan is very particular that he wants everything to be right. However, he is also very concerned about the health risks of staying in water for hours. That’s why he has asked his designer friend Shiraz Siddiqui to make special waterproof costumes for himself as well as his entire unit. However, the actors SRK and Kajol will not have the costumes as they have to be seen in their look for the film.” Karan Johar didn’t want to talk about the scenes to maintain the ambiguity that he has been projecting regarding the film. But he did say that it was a difficult and elaborate scene that he was shooting. |
