I am sure like me you also miss Juhi Chawla! The actress had a natural grace which we seldom see in Bollywood! That is why I was pretty excited to know that she may work with none other than Amitabh Bachchan in Ravi Chopra’s Bhoonath! The film, revolvesaround a man (Amitabh) and a child.
“It’s (the film) an interesting concept, and I couldn’t say no to Ravi. We’ve known each other from the time I did ‘Zameer’ for his banner more than three decades ago. Of course, ‘Baghban’ and ‘Baabul’ have cemented my relationship with the Chopras,” Amitabh told IANS.

Vikram’s Bheema news
Posted on Mar 31 2007 | Tagged as: Tamil World, Tamil Movies
The actor has completed the talkie portion of his next release, the much hyped, Lingusamy directed Bheema. Remember that the actor has not had a release since Maaja released on November 1, 2005! His fans across the globe and in India are eagerly waiting to see him back and this news is sure to bring a smile on their faces. Yesterday, Chiyaan completed a special song with Sherin of Thulluvatho Illamai fame in Tuticorin. The song has great significance to the story and is going to be one of the highlights of the film. Vikram spoke to Moviebuzz from the location of the song: “This song Rangu Rangamma…. has shaped out well and was choreographed by Brinda. We shot the song on a souped-up boat and it was not easy to dance on a floating boat”. Later Vikram left for Madurai to complete some patchwork shots and by March 31, he would have completed the entire talkie portion of the film. Now what remains are two songs with Trisha, which will probably be shot in Australia. With that Bheema will be complete and the film will positively release by May. Those who saw some action scenes from the film say that it is mind-blowing and daring. Hats off to producer A.M Ratnam, who has completed the movie against all odds.

It is cricket week with World Cup in full-swing. But I too have a special sports story to reveal. Not about cricket but an aspiring Indian Hockey Women’s Team which will be coached by non other than our King Khan! I am talking about Yash Raj’s August release and probably SRK’s much awaited movie this year- Chak De India.
The Santro ad girl Vidya Malvade leads the team Hockey in the movie which is directed by Shimit Amin (Ab Tak Chappan director). It is heard that Shahrukh had dates problems initially when this project was offered to him by Aditya Copra but it came back to him as no one fitted in the role as perfectly as SRK does. So it was put on hold till Shahrukh had dates
