Raveena Tandon refuses to play Ajay Devgan's mom

Raveena Tandon was slated to play an all-powerful politician inspired by Indira Gandhi's life and times, in Prakash Jha's Rajneeti. She was to play Ranbir Kapoor's mother. Ranbir's role resonated the life of Rajiv Gandhi.

Raveena and Prakash Jha were both quite excited about it. Her role required her to age from 20 to 60 years and the make-up, costume and styling were finalised. That's when Raveena heard the bad news. She would not just play Ranbir's mom, but also Ajay Devgan's.

Raveena confirms the reversal of her comeback plans. “Yes, Prakash Jha had offered me a politician's role in Rajneeti. He's the right person to direct a film like Rajneeti. I would have given anything to return to cinema with this project.”

So was Ajay Devgan the reason for Raveena opting out? “You can't blame me for saying 'no' to playing mother to an actor with whom I co-starred in so many films. But I had a bigger reason for my refusal.

The film required me to leave Mumbai for two months at a stretch. Both my children are too young to be left behind for such a long time.”

Salmam, Kareena, John, Ajay-Kajol, Imran at city's 'yummiest' event!
17 Nov, 2008 11:18 am ISTlINDIATIMES MOVIES

It was an evening to remember... the evening of November 16, 2008 when the Times Food Guide and Times Nightlife Guide were launched at the ITC Grand Central, Parel, amidst much humour, delicious food, and of course 'stars'. So while the who's who of Mumbai settled down on their respective round tables, deserving restaurateurs came forward to accept awards of excellence.

The evening saw the coming together of the hotel and nightclub industry, and there was more. The winners of the Times Food Guide award had stalls where they served what they cooked best – Lebanese, Chinese, Continental, South Indian, North Indian, Bengali, Gujarati, Parsi, Goan, sinful dessert and heavenly coffee. A unity in diversity, the tastiest grub in the city was up for grabs and the elite did little to keep count of their calorie intake or even feel embarrassed about their large appetite. But everyone was in the mood – the chefs were in the mood to feed, and the guests were in the mood to eat!

The 'icing on the cake', however, was the impressive star power – an ingredient that made the event what it was. 'Spicy' Salman Khan, the 'piquant' jodi of Ajay Devgan and Kajol, 'delicious' Kareena Kapoor, 'beefed-up' John Abraham, 'sweet' Imran Khan... graced the occasion and gave away the awards.

All our actors claim to be die-hard foodies, in spite of their hot bods...and binge once in a while. While Kareena insists she's a typical Punjabi kudi and loves food, John Abe says that he eats everything and works out very hard to burn his intake. Ajay Devgan isn't too fussy about khaana , and prefers desi food to the pastas and pizzas, while Sallu enjoys his grub, too, but opts for mom-made food most often!

The evening ended on a crunchy note...with all and sundry filling the bellies with the city's best deli's..., and asking one question ever so often: 'What's cooking?'

Am Abend des 16. November 2008 wurden im ITC in Parel die Auszeichnungen der Times für Restaurants und das Nachtleben verliehen - natürlich mit gutem Essen und vielen Stars.
Das Staraufgebot war sozusagen das "Tüpfelchen auf dem I": Der feurige Salman Khan, das pikante Paar Ajay Devgan und Kajol, die köstliche Kareena Kapoor, der gutgebaute John Abraham, der süße Imran Khan nutzen die Gelegenheit und übergaben die Preise.
Alle Schauspieler nahmen für sich in Anspruch, guten Essen sehr zu schätzen - trotz der Traumkörper - und ab und zu auch mal richtig reinzuhauen. Kareena bezeichnet sich als typisches Punjabigewächs und liebt das Essen. John Abe sagt, er äße alles und würde dann hart trainieren, um es wieder zu verheizen. Ajay Devgan ist nicht nicht heikel mit dem Essen, bevorzugt aber indisches Essen, während Sallu Pizzas und Pastas schätzt, sich aber meist auch für Hausmannskost entscheidet.
Der Abend endete knisternd mit der Feststellung quasi als Nachtisch: "Nur nichts Anbrennen lassen!"

Bollywood is getting more and more ambitious. If producer Vikas Kapoor and director Samir Karnik (the Heroes pair) can be expected to fulfill their next dream, the most expensive film ever made in Indian cinema, history is on the cards. Tentatively, it is being called Lanka; and, Kapoor and Karnik have five Bollywood hunks in mind for the film and one hot woman.
The film is being described as a thriller, and its production values are already around Rs 90 crore, that’s not counting the fat pay packets of the star cast. Much like
Mission Impossible, Lanka will be shot underwater extensively, and the plot has the six actors trying to recover 60,000 tons of gold from the seabed 6,000 feet below.
Not exciting enough? Then hear this! The cast includes hunk Salman Khan, Greek God Hrithik Roshan, the hot and sexy Abhishek Bachchan, the intense Ajay Devgan and the daring Bobby Deol and the sultry Priyanka Chopra. Kapoor, unwilling to divulge much, admitted, “We are finalising the script and nobody’s officially been signed so far. But, this being an adventurous project, we will require actors of that calibre to fit the roles. We have bounced the script with a few of them and all are very excited.” He is unfazed by the headache of handling so many big stars. “It’s not rocket science,” said Kapoor, “if you have a good script and you respect the stars’ space, they cooperate. Because everyone works towards making the film a success.” Action experts and technical wizards from Hollywood will be flown down when the film is being shot in India. Otherwise, action sequences are also planned in Las Vegas, parts of Japan, Paris, with the underwater sequences being kept for Australia.

Bollywood wird immer anspruchsvoller. Wenn Produzent Vikas Kapoor und Regisseur Samir Karnik (die beiden haben HEROES gemacht) ihren Traum verwirklichen, werden sie mit dem teuersten Film indische Kinogeschichte schreiben. Vorläufiger Titel: LANKA. Fünf heiße Typen und eine schöne Frau sollen die Hauptrollen spielen. Es soll ein Thriller sein, dessen Produktionskosten (ohne die fetten Schecks für die Schauspieler) bereits auf 90 Crore Rs. veranschlagt werden. Wie bei MISSION IMPOSSIBLE wird es ausgiebige Unterwasserdreharbeiten geben, denn das Drehbuch verlangt die Bergung von 60000 Tonnen Gold aus 2000 Metern Tiefe!
Noch nicht aufregend genug? Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, Ajay Devgan, Bobby Deol und die leckere Priyanka Chopra sind als Starcast vorgesehen. Kapoor sagt dazu: "Wir stellen gerade das Drehbuch fertig und bis jetzt hat noch niemand einen Vertrag unterschrieben. Da es sich aber um ein ziemlich aufregendes Projekt handelt, werden wir auf jeden Fall Schauspieler diesen Kalibers brauchen, um den Anforderungen der Rollen gerecht zu werden. Die Teile des Drehbuchs, die wir vorgezeigt haben, fanden jedenfalls ziemlich großen Anklang." So viele Stars zu führen, bereitet ihm wenig Kopfschmerzen. "Das ist nicht so viel dabei, wenn du ein gutes Skript hast. Du akzeptierst die Persönlichkeit der Stars, und sie arbeiten mit dir zusammen für den Erfolg des Films, den ja letzten Endes alle wollen."
Actionspezialisten und Techniker aus Hollywood sollen zum Dreh nach Indien kommen. Drehorte sind außerdem Las Vegas, Japan und Australien für die Unterwasserszenen.

They made such a cute jodi walking hand-in-hand that evening.

Ajay Devgan and Kajol could’ve easily been voted the most enviable pair in Bollywood. And if the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, it worked differently for the non-fussy Ajay!

“I’m not a complicated person, I’m not a foodie. I eat to live, and I like it simple,” he told BT. “So no, Kajol didn’t aim for the stomach, she struck me straight in the heart!” said the otherwise hush-hush actor, who suddenly metamorphosed into a mush-mush character that delicious evening! Kads on the other hand is grateful that it’s not food that would win ‘J’ (as she fondly calls him) over. Simply because she ain’t that brilliant a cook, even though the romance novels she likes to read often has the ladylove organising those candle-light dinners and romantic barbecue
sessions! But their romance isn’t from those pages, dearies. Their pyaar has a kahaani of its own... more of the simple yet affable U, Me Aur Hum types!

Ajay Devgan und Kajol könnten ganz leicht zum am meisten beneideten Paar in Bollywood gewählt werden. Normalerweise führt der Weg ins Herz eines Mannes über seinen Magen, aber für den unkomplizierten Ajay gilt das wohl nicht!
"Ich bin nicht anspruchsvoll, Essen ist nicht so wichtig. Ich esse aus Notwendigkeit und mag einfache Sachen," sagte er zu BT. "Kajol musste also nicht den Umweg über den Bauch nehmen, sie hat direkt ins Herz getroffen," meinte der sonst so scheue Schauspieler, der sich an diesem köstlichen Abend erstaunlich offenherzig präsentierte. Kads ist jedenfalls ziemlich froh darüber, dass keine Kochkünste erforderlich waren, um "J" (wie sie in zärtlich nennt) für sich zu gewinnen. Sie ist einfach keine tolle Köchin, obwohl in den Liebesromanen, die sie so gerne liest, von den Damen gerne Dinner bei Kerzenlicht und romantische Grillabende organisiert werden.
Diese Liebe ist jedoch aus anderem Stoff gewebt, meine Süßen! Diese Liebe hat ihre ganz eigene Geschichte - mehr von der einfachen, liebenswerten UMAH-Art.

Mumbai: Vipul Shah's directorial venture London Dreams, starring Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan and Asin, was is the news recently with reports claiming that Studio 18 had backed out of the project. However, the fact is that the two concerned parties have mutually decided to re-evaluate the deal once the movie's shoot is complete.

When queried by Businessofcinema.com as to whether Studio 18 had backed out of the project, director-producer Shah says, "Studio 18 hasn't given an official statement saying they are no longer a part of the project, but we have mutually decided to re-look the project after it is complete. After evaluating the market condition at that time, we will decide how to take things forward."

London Dreams completed its first shooting schedule in October in London and the second schedule will start in January. The film will be shot in Punjab and Mumbai for a period of 15 days with both Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan.

Shah further adds, "Recession affects filmmakers who make movies with other people's money. I am far from being affected. London Dreams' budget is intact. My movie's shooting will be complete by February."

Studio 18 vice president marketing, distribution and syndication Priti Shahani refused to comment.

Shah, who works in close association with actor Akshay Kumar and his production house Hariom Production, signs off saying, "Akshay and I will sit and decide the release dates of our movies mutually. He has two ready movies up for release next year, so we will not want the dates to clash. Also, next year Kites and some more big movies are scheduled to release. So we all will mutually decide the release dates of our movies."

Apart from London Dreams, Akshay starrers like Chandni Chowk To China, Tasveer and Blue are also scheduled to release next year.

Shah sagt außerdem: "Die Rezession betrifft nur Filmemacher, die ihre Projekte mit anderer Leute Geld durchführen. Mich geht das nichts an. Das Budget von LD passt. Die Dreharbeiten werden im Februar abgeschlossen werden." (...)
Dann geht es um Akshayes nächste Projekte.

Seems to be the best sensational contention in Bollywood for it's something following success. Actor Sharman Joshi detests that opting out of sequel to Golmaal was the ever-biggest blunder in his career. Sharman just alone regrets for it, but assures by all means he wants to be a part of Golmaal 3. Speaking on this, Sharman says, "It wasn't about my remuneration and due to my dates committed for other projects".

On the pars, Shreyas Talpade has hit the spotlights with his first appearance into Golmaal family with its sequel. Precisely, the actor has no plans of getting out for the third part with the success of Golmaal Returns.

And Rohit Shetty is to judge it now and he comes up with an interestingly surprise reply. 'Ajay Devagan and I love Sharman a love. In fact, Ajay Devagan's office table has the photo of Sharman glued. We share good rapport amongst us and missed him a lot' uttered Rohit Shetty. Totting up, he said, "Well, I have planned to cast both Sharman and Shreyas Talpade in Golmaal 3. So, instead of 4 guys, there would be 5 and it's gonna be much more drollness".

Sharman Joshi bestreitet, dass die Ablehnung der Rolle in GR eine der übelsten Fehlentscheidungen seiner Karriere war. Er bedauert es zwar, betont aber, dass er gern bei G3 mitspielen wolle. Sharman sagt dazu: "Es ging nicht um die Bezahlung. Ich hatte nur andere Projekte in der Zeit."
Auf der anderen Seite hat Shreyas Talpade einen Volltreffer gelandet mit seinem Auftritt in der Golmaal-Familie. Deswegen hat der Schauspieler auch keine Ambitionen, im dritten Teil gleich wieder auszusteigen.
Nun muss Rohit Shetty entscheiden, und er gibt eine ziemlich überraschende Antwort: "Ajay Devgan und ich mögen Sharman sehr. Auf Ajays Schreibtisch klebt sogar ein Foto von ihm. Wir verstehen uns und vermissten ihn sehr." Er fügt hinzu: "Nun, eigentlich plane ich beide für G3 ein. Dann haben wir eben 5 Kerle dabei, und das wird umso mehr Spaß geben."

Devgan steps in for a guest appearance in Teen Patti at short notice, at the Big B's behest

Producer Ambika Hinduja approached Akshaye Khanna to do a cameo in Teen Patti. Khanna couldn't do the film at the last minute. A hunt for another actor was launched.

No big actor was willing to be a part of the project at such short notice. That's when lead actor Amitabh Bachchan req-uested Ajay Devgan to step in.

Last-minute exit

A source in the unit reveals, "Akshaye had agreed to be a part of the cameo and he was all geared up to shoot but at the nth hour, he was asked to urgently dub for Shortkut - The Con Is On!, in which he plays the protagonist. So he had to opt out of Teen Patti at the last minute. The set was standing and they needed a replacement urgently."

When Amitabh learnt of the producer's predicament, he called Devgan (who was linked to the project in the initial stages) and asked him to shoot for the two-day part in the film. Devgan agreed immediately." The shoot will happen today.

Close to clan

A source close to Devgan admits, "Though he is shooting for his home production Toonpur Ka Hero, Ajay immediately agreed on the special request of Bachchan as he is very close to the Bachchan clan."

However Bachhan Sr. denies ever calling Devgan, "No, I have not. I don't even know whether they (Khanna and Devgan) are doing a cameo in the film. The director decides all this. Check with her."

Though according to director- Rohit Shetty it’s too early to talk about Golmaal 3, curiosity forces us to discuss about the star cast of the film. After the success of Golmaal Returns, it looks like the entire cast of the film is excited for the next venture. But, it seems Ajay Devgan is secured for a lead in Golmaal 3 too.

Apart from that, Anjana Sukhani, Celina Jaitley and Tusshar Kapoor too look confident of their casting in the film. After a gap, Sharman Joshi too is looking forward to create a laugh riot in Golmaal 3 with Shreyas Talpade. As far as Arshad Warsi, Amrita Arora and Kareena Kapoor are concerned, we might have to wait and watch!

He is playing a days’ guest appearance today. Damn !! And I thought the crowds were for me. Sad. But happy for Ajay.

We all live within feet of each other. Ajay and Kajol now 10′ away from my boundary wall in Jalsa. Opposite him, 6′ away, Dharamji, Sunny and Bobby. They sharing common boundary wall with Yash Chopra, Adi Chopra and we never see or meet each other !! Ajay called on phone after about 8 months when we were in the same hotel in London. I was presenting the Lifetime Achievement Award to Dharamji at IIFA, in Yorkshire, England, where I met him after years !! Ha..Ha..

But I know and they know that any time they need me or I them, we will be the first to come together !!

It's well known that all and sundry in the industry like to respect Amitabh Bachchan. When he requests or orders something no one can afford to turn him down.

Actor Ajay Devgan did just that recently.

The news is that there was a cameo role in the film 'Teen Patti', being produced by Ambika Hinduja and directed by Leena Yadav. The makers initially wanted Akshaye Khanna, but he had to turn the film down. So they started looking for another actor.

The word is that Akshaye was called at the last minute to dub for 'Shortkut', where he plays the lead. The actor had no other option but to go ahead with his dubbing, leaving the makers of 'Teen Patti' in trouble.

But the problem was not many actors dared to act in a film which is dominated by the Big B. So many remained uninterested! That's when Amitabh came to their rescue and use his personal charm.

Not surprisingly he succeeded as actor Ajay Devgan instantly agreed to do the cameo and shoot for a couple of days.

They say that 'Saviors come in any shape and size'. And in a place like Bollywood, where only plastic smiles and superficial emotions reign supreme, finding a real saviour is not just tough but also impossible. But Ajay Devgan is one man who has just proved this wrong. And Leena Yadav, the director of Teen Patti is someone who will surely vouch for it.

What had happened was that Leena had confirmed Akshaye Khanna to do a cameo in her film which stars the towering Big B. But due to reasons best known to Akshaye himself, he opted out at the last moment, thus leaving Leena in a quandary. And that's when Leena called up the otherwise reclusive Ajay Devgan, who immediately agreed to do the film, which is totally contrary to what a certain section of the media had reported (that Big B had requested Ajay Devgan to fill in for Akshaye). Sources close to Ajay told Bollywood Hungama that it's confirmed news that Ajay is indeed doing a cameo in Teen Patti and that he has also shot for three days for the same.

It only becomes needless to say that Leena Yadav must be one happy woman, courtesy Ajay 'The Saviour' Devgan! What say, Leena?

Looking at the amount of money that is being cornered by the laugh riot flick 'Golmaal Returns', every production company in Bollywood will like to see themselves in place of Shree Ashthavinayak Cine Vision, who produced the film.

The highlight point of 'Golmaal Returns' is that it enables the viewer to just let their minds unwind and go loose with the non stop comedy and fun that the film offers.

So during the running time of the film everyone who is watching can forget whatever problems and tensions that they have and get immersed in the antics of the lead characters.

This has resulted in movie watchers even going to catch up the film twice to see their own favourite scenes all over again.

According to the financial estimates, after three weeks of the movie's release 92 crore is the total amount of money that has been collected.

This new southern star is all set to rock in Bollywood through her debut film Ghajini. Asin stands out from all other newcomers and the reason is she has been paired opposite big actors of Bollywood.

Recently her chemistry with her co star Salman Khan in London Dreams became the talk of the town. Now we are surprised to know that her character is similar to Katrina’s role in Yuvvraj . London Dreams is about a rock band in England. Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan, play childhood friends in the movie who are rock musicians.

Apparently in LD Asin plays a singer who knows the guitar and performs with Salman Khan on stage. While in Yuvraaj Katrina plays a musician and plays the cello. Asin has a different look in the film. She will be seen in a short bob cut in some scenes.

Asin has been asked to keep mum about her films as she is one of the most talked about newcomer in Bollywood. Though her films are yet to release, she has all big films opposite big stars from Bollywood. There’s no doubt that with two Khans by her side, Asin will soon be at the top slot in competition with Kareena and Katrina.

Ajay Devgan is known as a media shy person. But post his film U, Me Aur Hum the actor has become a regular at events and parties. And that's when we noticed something different about the star. It seems Ajay is a lot into experimenting with his hairstyle these days. At one hi-profile do, we spotted Ajay in a formal suit and his hair was well gelled and combed back.

Next we saw the actor at the Golmaal Returns success bash sporting a Black tee and Blue denims and ... a funky hairstyle. When we asked him about his new style statement he told us that hairdresser Alim was at his house that evening and worked on his new look. Hmm! Talk of dressing up for the occasion and Ajay Devgan surely knows the trick.

Ajay Devgan ist eigentlich ziemlich medienscheu. Aber nach UMAH wurde der Schauspieler regelmäßig auf diversen Partys und Events gesehen. Da ist uns dann etwas aufgefallen: Es scheint, er probiert zur Zeit ziemlich viel mit seinen Haaren aus. Auf einem seriösen Treffen sahen wir ihn z.B. im Anzug mit zurückgekämmtem, gegeltem Haar.
Als Nächstes trafen wir ihn auf der GR-Party in schwarzem T-Shirt, blauen Jeans ... und mit einem ultramodernen Haarschnitt. Als wir uns danach erkundigten, sagte er uns, dass Friseurin Alim ihm am selben Abend den neuen Look verpasst hätte. Hm! Ajay weiß wohl, wie man sich für die unterschiedlichsten Gelegenheiten richtig aufbrezelt.
