Salman Khan 'Ready' Tune Twists

The initiative taken by 3rd Rock Entertainment in association with Provogue India and Agni CZ Jewels witnessed Salman Khan in his element, as he ribbed and took potshots jovially at his targets. Six models sporting outfits from the Spring Summer Live 2011 collection sashayed to the Ready number character dheela hai… and as the music dimmed out… the decibels suddenly went into overdrive as the volatile Khan showed up! Salman was all gung ho over the 'Ready Live Mad Concert' stating, "It has the word 'mad' in it, because I want people to go mad at the concert and enjoy themselves to the fullest. Bhushan Kumar and T series are also promoting and giving a chance to new talent." Added Salman tongue in cheek, "In fact, all the auditions of the female singers are being done by Bhushan Kumar himself." Taking a friendly barb at Pritam, present at the venue, Salman said that he was glad that 'Ready's music was "original", demanding to know whether character dheela or dhinke chika was the "bigger hit". Khan stated naughtily, "I wonder why people feel that character dheela has something to do with my character! Actually, it says a lot about the person who wrote it and the person who composed the song on it." Admitting that the number was "inspired" from a South number ringa ringa, Salman said, "When I heard ringa ringa, I was sure that I wanted this song number for Ready. Dhinke Chika has been tweaked so much to my liking that… it's almost like a song that I've composed… and Pritam does not even want any credit for it.

Ash, Madhur Unveil Heroine At Cannes

Glamsham Editorial Cannes 2011 saw yet another splash of glamour with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Madhur Bhandarkar and Ronnie Screwvala coming together to announce their upcoming movie HEROINE. The trio was seen together for the first time to announce their association for the bold and glamorous saga, with the unveiling of the first look of the film at the prestigious film festival. Take a look at the photocall for 'Heroine' Directed by Madhur Bhandarkar and produced by UTV Motion Pictures, HEROINE will star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan essaying the role of a superstar. The film is scheduled to go on the floors in June this year. After his incredible run of women-centric films from CHANDNI BAR, PAGE 3, SATTA and CORPORATE to the blockbuster FASHION, produced by UTV, Madhur Bhandarkar now turns his lens inward and presents his most ambitious work yet - HEROINE. The film is based on the life and times of a superstar heroine from the dream factory we call 'Bollywood'. The film is an entertaining, daring, emotional, shocking, glamorous, scandalous behind the scenes account of the reality behind the world of glitz and glamour that our film stars inhabit. For a country obsessed with films and film stars, HEROINE will take audiences on a voyeuristic journey to see what really goes on behind the closed doors of make up rooms and vanity vans. It will give them a chance to go beyond the gorgeous smiles and politically correct quotes, to see what really happens in the lives of India's sweethearts - The sniping and the politics, the secrets and the lies, the incredible highs of fame and the lonely depths of failure. This is the film Bhandarkar has been subconsciously preparing for ever since he joined the industry and one which he considers his magnum opus. Talking about the film and her association with Madhur and UTV, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan said, "HEROINE is a film that the team was very excited about and yes I have just agreed to come on board. Madhur has been speaking to me for many years to collaborate together on a film and I am glad we are finally working together on HEROINE. He is the director of multiple award winning films in India and hence, as an actor I'm certainly looking forward to this experience. UTV and I have worked before on special work of cinema; JODHAA AKBAr and GUZAARISH, both of which have achieved incredible acclaim, appreciation and awards for us. This new venture certainly looks like a strong creative synergy and I look forward to this new journey in film". Here's a look at Ash and Madhur launching the movie at Cannes On this occasion, Indian National Award winning director, Madhur Bhandarkar said, "I feel delighted to announce HEROINE, my next project, at Cannes - one of the most prestigious global platforms. Unveiling the first look here is certain to be an auspicious start to the movie which goes into production mid this year. HEROINE is an extremely glamorous yet bold story of the internal journey of a star, which is sure to appeal to audiences across the globe and therefore Aishwarya was a perfect choice for the film - no one could have essayed the role better. I'm also glad that Bhandarkar Entertainment and UTV are working together again. This is our second film together and we share the same vision which makes the entire process of filmmaking very smooth."
