Does Abhinav Kashyap Prefer Ranbir Over Salman?

Remember the much-talked about cold war between filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap and Salman Khan? The alleged fight started after Kashyap walked out of Dabangg and Arbaaz Khan took over the film's direction. And now, it looks like Kashyap still holds grudge against the Khan brothers, that was apparently evident, after he indirectly took a dig at Khan and was all praise for the latter's rival Ranbir Kapoor. 

During a recent exclusive interview with a leading daily, when director Abhinav Kashyap was asked to compare Bollywood superstars Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, Kashyap said that the Dabangg actor "never rehearses and often forgets his lines". But as per the filmmaker, Salman on the other hand, is also quite a spontaneous actor. "A lot of times, even the director is in the dark - we don't know what he'd say in a particular scene until he goes ahead and says it. But that works for him," Kashyap told about Salman.

When asked about Ranbir Kapoor, Kashyap was all praise for him and said, "Ranbir is the most hardworking actor I have seen. He rehearses meticulously, sometimes days in advance". Ranbir and Salman's alleged fight, especially over Katrina Kaif, is no new news to us. But now that director Abhinav Kashyap has added fuel to the fire by picking Ranbir over Salman, we wonder, what the Sallu fans got to say on this!

Karan Johar receives threat via SMS

This is not the first time that a film celebrity has been threatened. Bollywood celebs have always been targeted by the underworld, and latest on the list is Karan Johar who is one of the most successful director and producer in B-town. The Bombay Talkies director received an extortion threat message on his phone from an unidentified number. KJo went and complained to the Khar police about the same and his case has now been transferred to anti-extortion cell of the Mumbai crime branch. Reportedly, the police have been unable to trace the address of the perpetrator who texted Johar as they suspect he is using internet services to send messages and make calls.

Karan’s armed security has been beefed up ever since he received the threat. However, police has not clarified whether the message was sent from a local number or not. Earlier, producer Boney Kapoor also reportedly received threat calls from gangster Ravi Pujari’s men. The police is investigating both the cases and have also increased patrolling in the area were these two celebs live.

Ayushmann Khurrana to romance Pallavi Sharda?

A little birdie tells us that Bollywood Actor Ayushmann Khurrana will share screen space with Indo-Australian actor Pallavi Sharda in a period film. If you wondering who Pallavi is, well she is the same chick who will be romancing Ranbir Kapoor in Besharam. Lucky girl, ain’t she?

The film will be directed by debutante director Vibhu Puri. Producer Guneet Monga confirmed, “We have Pallavi and Ayushmann on board for a period love story. It is not based on any real life characters, it is a fictitious story. The film will go on floors in a couple of months. It will be shot in Mumbai.”

We also hear that the film will be set in the pre-independence era. What more, hunkalicious Ayushmann will essay the role of a British boy and Pallavi Sharda will be seen playing the role of a Maharashtrian girl… We wonder how this lad who hails from Chandigarh perfects the British accent. But, that’s least of our concerns. 

What worries us more is how Pallavi, who’s born and brought up abroad, will play the role of a Maharashtrian! Looks like the director plans to deliver some great khichdi with his film!
