Zee Cine Awards

As always, Zee Cine Awards was held at London this Sunday amidst much glamour and glitter. What made news was the absence of Salman Khan’s performance. Though the reason for Salman’s backing out was officially cited as high fever and injury, the real reason was that Salman had a problem with his choreographer Ganesh Hegde. So, the Moranis replaced Ganesh with a choreographer called Rajesh. When Salman saw Rajesh’s choreographed act on Friday afternoon, he was shocked and deeply upset at this second hand treatment. He returned the cheque and agreement the same night and then finally Zee had to perform with Shah Rukh, Upen Patel, Vidya Balan, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena, and Jay Sean. Salman’s girlfriend Katrina who was already in London on Thursday performed solo.

Tashan release at multiplexes hanged on revenue issue!

Once again multiplexes owners went into war of words with Yash Raj Films on the issue of banner’s release of Tashan starring Kareena, Saif Ali Khan, Anil Kapur and Akshay Kumar. Movie, however, is released appropriately per schedule at single screen theaters.

Vishal Anand, vice president, Fun Republic theatre, Mumbai said, “We had a meeting with Yash Raj representatives but we could not resolve the problem,” However, he was very hopeful of issues being resolved as earliest. However, as the exact details for the exact amount of money is not clear shared between multiplexes and production houses, the multiplexes are not in mood to compromise with production houses for sharing revenue.

The impact of this financial issue is not impacting the premiere of the movies for the first time instead it delayed the screening of the movies Even Anees Bazme’s Welcome, Aamir Khan’s Taare Zameen Par and Ashutosh Gowariker’s Jodhaa Akbar.

Saif Ali Khan’s Son Appeared In His First Movie

Tashan has many wondering stints and amazing costumes and stories rumored around but there also happened one unnoticed happening at the movie, as Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim acted for a first time in a movie as a child artist.

He has performed the character of young Saif Ali Khan in a scene of the movie, when Saif narrates Akshay about his childhood. Ibrahim perfectly fits into the character of young Salman in the movie. Ibrahim appeared twice in the movie.

Neha has improved her looks over a period of time

After her above average performance in Dus Kahaniyaan, Neha Oberoi has improved tremendously over a period of time for her role of sizzling and sensuous actress in her next movie Woodstock Villa. She is looking very sumptuous and sexy in promos of Woodstock Villa aired on various different channels.

On her looks in Woodstock Villa she was grinning while answering, “I feel humbled, on receiving positive reviews after the promos of my film has hit the screens. I have worked really hard for my looks like going to the gym regularly, eating a proper diet and generally taking care of myself.” So don’t for got to watch the promos of the movie and definitely you will see that undoubtedly she is making space into men’s heart.
