Imran Zahid and Sunny Leone in ‘Jism 2′
Imran Zahid is making his debut with Mahesh Bhatt’s ‘Jism 2’ within the lead role. “I play a narcotics detective in ‘Jism 2′. I'M waiting for starting work on it. There’s excitement and nervousness,” an elated Imran said adding, “As a youngster, I watched (Mahesh) Bhatt saab’s films. I'M a small town boy. I'M from Bokaro. For me, it’s a large thing to work with someone like him and Pooja, whose ‘Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahin’ I watched as a youngster.”
“Jism 2″ is being produced by Pooja Bhatt’s Fish Eye Network and is in news for featuring Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone. Sunny just posted a glance of hers within the film. The pic shows her in a lean avatar with high cheek bones in a black outfit which supplies a touch of her cleavage.

Katrina in awe of Yash Chopra's sharpness!
By Hindustan Times
Actress Katrina Kaif, who's back on the town from London after wrapping up a shooting schedule of Yash Chopra's directorial venture, says she is in awe of the veteran filmmaker's immensely sharp working style.
"You know Yash ji could be very senior and everybody used to mention how young he's at heart. But it's a must to have a look at how sharp he is," Katrina told reporters here.
"He used to select up these very small such things as... if something was disturbing me or I USED TO BE not in an excellent mood, he used to simply pick it up and understand how to cope with it. So I FEEL he's an overly special person and we had a terrific time," she added.
Katrina was in London to work on Chopra's yet-to-be-titled love story opposite superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
This is her first project with King Khan, and that is also the primary time she is being directed by Chopra, whose last venture behind the camera was Veer Zaara in 2004.
Katrina, 27, spoke at the sidelines of the launch of a book in response to her film Raajneeti, which presented her in a non-glamourous avatar and in a formidable role.
She didn't miss the danger to share sweet somethings about her Raajneeti director Prakash Jha too.
"One thing I WILL say about Prakash ji is that with all his knowledge and with all his intellect, he's an especially intelligent person and very knowledgeable...
"... especially at the subjects that he directs... (they can be) very complex subjects, but never for once does he make you're feeling that you're slightly inferior whatsoever to the information of politics or his knowledge of literature," said Katrina.
Last seen in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Katrina could also be working together with her former beau, actor Salman Khan in Ek Tha Tiger.
Critics' verdict: Blood Money fails to provoke
By Hindustan Times
For a film that may be set against the flourishing diamond industry and broaches on its grey zones, Vishesh Films' latest offering Blood Money is conspicuous by absence of detail and depiction. At the whole, this Kunal Khemu, Amrita Puri starrer is old wine with a brand spanking new label.
"Unexpectedly, from a credible, plausible zone, the film deviates right into a hard-to-absorb masala-ridden fare that will depend on heroism and intrepidness to prove some extent. A persuasive culmination, consistent with the quintessence of the film, would've only enhanced the impact of the second one hour. Wish the author was consistent in keeping the viewer absorbed within the subsequent hour as well," writes Taran Adarsh, Bollywood Hungama.
The execution of the film was lower than the mark. "Writer Upendra Sidhye’s story is believable however the execution barely rises above average. Director Vishal Mahadkar extracts decent performances from his cast. Kunal Khemu steals the show as a person caught in personal and professional conflict," feels Blessy Chettiar, DNA
The film also lacked research and detailing. "For a film that may be set against the flourishing diamond industry and broaches on its grey zones, Vishesh Films' latest offering is conspicuous by absence of detail and depiction. With out any research it isn't important whether the tale is about in South Africa or Surat," writes Sukanya Verma, Rediff.
"This one has the entire toppings of a 'Bhatt shocker' - drama, emotion, tragedy and a few sex. Again they push the bedroom threshold - a semi-erotic, steamy scene between two women - every man's turn-on fantasy. Debutant director, (Vishal S Mahadkar), tells the tale well, though some scenes are very stretched, and tries too hard to impress a reaction. A faster pace, stronger dialogues, to not add some more dum in Kunal's voice, and a greater background score - would have had greater impact," says Madhureeta Mukherjee, TOI.
Direction
"Debutant director Vishal Mahadkar had a gripping premise on hand, but what comes across on screen is a potpourri. A COUPLE OF absorbing, attention grabbing moments… a couple of hackneyed, tried and tested formulaic material. Resultantly, Blood Money is neither riveting, nor absolutely undistinguished. It floats somewhere in between!" Writes Adarsh.
"Kunal Khemu and Amrita Puri are ideal in character roles, heroine’s sister or hero’s insipid sidekick. But within the lead, two strugglers can’t make a crippled film walk. While the tale and screenplay do little to maintain you seated throughout, the dialogues surely deserve a Ghanta nomination. Following a bitter argument, Arzoo’s friend consoles her, saying, 'Jhagde toh hote hi hain hone ke liye.' Then there are pearls of wisdom like, 'Har deal mein do party hoti hain, ek buyer aur ek seller.' Quite just like the two parties within the hall playing ‘Blood Money’: the projectionist and the usher," writes Kunal Guha, Yahoo.
Performances
"Kunal Kemmu is super-confident and believable. The actor carries the movie on his shoulders, notwithstanding the discrepancies within the narrative. This could be a fresh beginning for this talented young man. Amrita Puri, who stood out with an excellent performance in AISHA, is natural to the core. She delivers a power-packed performance and elevates even a standard scene along with her splendid act," says Adarsh.
"Amrita Puri, for the primary time in a lead role after her impressive Aisha stint, is precisely okay. You wish to take her seriously but lines like “Tumhe mere saath Mumbai chalna hoga. Main yahaan se vidhwa hoke nahi jaana chahti” ruin it can be. a greater script and we will be able to see if she will be able to work some magic at the big screen. Manish Choudhary as Zaveri/Zakharia is “superb”-ly annoying, while the actor playing his brother deserves to be shot for over-acting," feels Chettiar.
"Kunal Khemu displays not one of the charisma, intensity or vulnerability that validates his transition from an pleasant go-getter to a compromised coward. The young man's needless huffing, puffing and folding lips in exasperation only draw attention to his inadequacies. Co-star Amrita Puri publish a lovely show in Aisha together with her funny dialogue delivery. Seems that may be how she speaks. Because the Devil in a Diamond baron's disguise, Manish Chaudhary does well together with his analogies in a temporary lunch scene but is proscribed to sporting a threatening frown for the remainder of his role," avers Verma.
"Proving his acting calibre in Kalyug, Kunal Khemu was an excessively promising actor to this point. Khemu's earnest act in Blood Money can definitely fetch kudos for him. Amrita Puri though pleasant enough, doesn't get much scope within the movie," reports Oneindia.
Conclusion
"On the whole, Blood Money is old wine with a brand spanking new label. A GOOD and absorbing first hour coupled with soulful music are its aces, although the mediocre, outmoded writing within the post-interval portions leave you just a little miffed. At best, a good attempt!" Concludes Adarsh.
"The lead pair salvages the film to an extent, but a limited scope of the script binds them both from making it an entertaining trip. The out of sync sound in lots of scenes makes Blood Moneytechnically unstable. Add to all this innumerable songs," writes Chettiar.
"You should not have to be a diamond expert to inform a gem from a pebble. And so, unless stale stories, bad acting and bungled possibilities capture your fancy, Blood Money is way too sluggish, simplistic and boring to bother," says Verma.
Malaika to accomplish at Super Fight League's opening ceremony
By Hindustan Times
Bollywood’s item queen, Malaika Arora Khan, has scored another hit number with Anarkali Disco Chali from the impending Housefull 2. And the song’s popularity have been instrumental in making the Super Fight League (SFL) organisers rope her in for a performance on the opening ceremony in Chandigarh on April 7.
“For me, the primary reason was SFL’s novelty factor. However the driver behind accepting the offer was the folk who're involved with the sporting event – Raj (Kundra), Shilpa (Shetty) and Sanju (Sanjay Dutt). I DO KNOW they all on a private level. So after they asked me to be part of the event, it went without saying that I MIGHT extend my support,” says Malaika.
Ask the ‘Munni badnaam hui…’ performer about her first gig as Anarkali and she or he chuckles, “I am looking ahead to it. After all, it will likely be my first live show with the song. My son (Arhaan) could also be very thinking about it. He actually desires to see some of the live fights too,” Malaika adds.
Bipasha Basu had performed on the mixed martial arts’ inaugural fight night on March 11 in Mumbai. Kundra explains why they didn’t book the Jism star for his or her opening ceremony too, saying, “Malaika has some great songs, is super sexy and, above all, an even dancer. We strive and select the most productive performers all of the time, and because it’s a televised event, we can’t repeat our entertainers.
That’s why Bipasha wasn’t chosen again.”
While her plate is full preparing for her upcoming live performance, Malaika may additionally be reprising her Munni avatar in Salman Khan’s Dabangg 2.
Ask her in regards to the item number and he or she says with a smile, “We haven’t taken a decision yet. So, I'D only say, ‘let’s wait and watch.’”

SRK to assist Charu Khandal financially
By Hindustan Times
Shah Rukh Khan will extend financial help to injured RA.One animator Charu Khandal through Red Chillies. The actor visited her on the hospital after he returned from YRF's London schedule.
Earlier, the production house was unable to do so, as Khandal was not a contractual employee.
SRK said he'll pray for her recovery. "Yeah, it is very unfortunate. I'VE BEEN involved with the office. I WILL BE ABLE TO go and check out her. I WILL BE ABLE TO pray that Allah makes her alright soon," the 46-year-old had told reporters on the airport.
When asked about this, Charu's sister Ritu says, "I WILL NOT touch upon this right now, but I WANT to thank the doctors and Red Chillies Entertainment. From the time the acccident has happened, somebody or the opposite from the corporate is usually by my sister's side. Moral support could also be a large thing."
Charu is battling for all times after a speeding car, with an allegedly drunk driver on the wheel, rammed into the autorickshaw by which she was travelling along with her sister and a pal. The 26-year-old suffered multiple fractures and injuries to her spinal cord within the accident early Sunday.
She also underwent her first surgery on Thursday, which was successful.
