If our trade and distribution sources are to be believed, Rohit Shetty will commence the shooting of GOLMAAL 3 later this month. The film will have big names like Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade and a host of other supporting actors.

Director Rohit Shetty, who has a reputation of being a quick worker, expects GOLMAAL 3 to be wrapped up in a short span of four to five months.

While still on GOLMAAL 3, Rohit has already announced the release date. And no prizes for guessing! It will release on Diwali day that is Friday the 5th of November 2010, just like his previous two successful ventures, GOLMAAL RETURNS and ALL THE BEST.

Mumbai: Real life couple, Ajay Devgn and Kajol, is set to romance on reel once again! The couple, which was last seen together in ‘U Me Aur Hum’ in 2008, has now been shortlisted by Hollywood’s Fox Star Studios to act in the remake of their foreign flick Date Night. But before you say cheers to this, let us inform you that the movie will go on floors only after Kajol’s delivery. In fact, it will be her first film after she has her second child.


Confirming the news a source said, “Fox Star Studios has approached Kajol and Ajay for the film.”

As for the movie, the source added, “Date Night has Steve Carell and Tina Fey. It is an action comedy about a couple struggling with their lives and marriage till a visit to a trendy restaurant results in a case of mistaken identity, and then starts a non-stop adventure. The Hollywood film releases on April 9. Both Ajay and Kajol saw the film last Friday afternoon, after which they confirmed their intention to go ahead with the remake.”

And even though the film seems like a potential Hollywood hit, the officials at Fox Star had to convince our Bollywood duo that it would translate well into a Hindi film. “There is a possibility that Ajay may buy the rights of the film. A lot also depends on how Kajol wants to conduct her career after she delivers her second baby,” adds the source.

MUMBAI: The third part of the Golmaal series is all set to start its shooting from 28 March. And customary to its prequel, this film will also be shot in Goa.

The director of the film, Rohit Shetty confirmed to Businessofcinema.com, "Yes, we will be starting the shoot in Goa from 28 March. It will be a month long schedule where we will shoot the major portions of the film. The remaining bits will be mostly songs which will be canned in Mumbai."

This is the same pattern the director chose for Golmaal 2. He started shooting for this film around the same time in Goa and at that time he had said, "March end and April, the tourists are no longer in Goa. It is the off season and so we have the place to ourselves. I get good locations at half the price and at the same time relative peace so that neither I nor my actors are hounded by fans."

Golmaal 3 will have a new addition and at the same time will have Kareena Kapoor as the only female lead in the film. So this film will have the same cast of Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor with Kunal Khemu being the latest entrant.

The actress will play a gaali-spouting tomboy in Golmaal 3

Kareena Kapoor will be playing a tomboy character for the first time on Golmaal 3, being directed by Rohit Shetty.

It is learnt that the director was writing the story, he decided to give Kareena's typically glamorous image a break in the film and offer her an unusual part. He didn't want her to do the glam doll act once again. He wanted her to be part of the gang of boys comprising Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Khemu and Shreyas Talpade.

Going casual
The source reveals, "Kareena will sport casual wear in the film. No designer dresses, shoes and bags for her. She will play a badass who spouts abusive tapori language and rides around on a bike. She will be seen doing dadagiri like boys in gangs."

Bebo admits, "My look in Golmaal 3 is non-glamorous. It's young and grunge and keeping the weather and look of Goa in mind. I play a tomboy but with a feminine touch. Though I will be using tapori language it won't be too abusive or vulgar. It will be in keeping with my persona."

Shetty adds, "I wanted to give Kareena a new image in Golmaal 3. She's 'one of the boys' in the film, and will sport minimal make-up. She is talking with Manish Malhotra and they will come up with the right look for her part. I have tried not to make her use too much foul language or abusive lingo. Her whole look and hair will be undergoing a thorough change. Her character in the film is not that rich. We are all looking forward to teaching Bebo some exciting language. She's already become one goonda now!"

Keeping Bebo real

Manish Malhotra says, "I feel that whenever Bebo plays a real character she does it the best (like Jab We Met or 3 Idiots). The look for Bebo is a believable one with simple clean lines. I will pick up some clothes for her in Bangkok and Dubai for her. She will be wearing summer tops and T-shirts. In fact, I will be designing and creating some special T-shirts for her. Rohit didn't want jeans or shorts but drawstring pants in ivory or white. It's something like Amanda Seyfried sported in Mamma Mia! - Mediterranean casual chic."

Its been only 3 days since the dubbing of TOONPUR commenced, but it seems like a long time already. Not because it’s a boring process, but too much has happened. The team is having fun punctuating the gags and filling in the pauses with trivial, cute chatter of the toons. Its been a task trying to audition for the right character voices – the criteria was difficult. We needed great performers, exaggerated theatrical voices and at the same time, the voices had to suit the body type and physical characteristics. And then passing it through compressors and modulation, pitch shift et al to ensure the voice sounds animated enough, yet audible and relevant to the character. I hope we have succeeded in doing that.

Yesterday, we recorded the Ostrich character that Ajay Devgn rides in the climax. The Ostrich is an incessantly blabbering, rajput accented, ill-mannered, heart-broken creature. We found the right voice with the gamut of expressions and voila – the scene is looking so much better.

Of course, we are being ably lead by Rakesh Ranjan ji (seen in picture centre), one of the senior most and respected sound professionals (who also incidentally the curriculum designer and Principal faculty at the prestigious Whistling Woods) and that’s great comfort for me.

More later. Please don’t ask about the release date!

William Shakespeare felt there was nothing in a name and a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet as it always does.

However, Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn seems to think that a little spelling correction can go a long way in changing one’s fortunes.

The actor who dropped the alphabet A from his name — Devgan, and made it Devgn thinks that both his comedies All the Best and the recent Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge? have worked because the surname change has brought a tilt in his fortunes.

Now, Ajay’s close associates are telling him that his future ventures — Rajneeti, Once Upon a Time in Mumbai, Garam Hawa and Golmaal 3 will also prove beneficial at the box office. Abbreviations are the in thing anyway.

Ajay Devgan normally does not change looks etc for any film. He just dons a simple moustache or a beard and a turban whenever it comes to playing historical characters like Bhagat Singh etc. But now the actor seems to be taking life and work a lot more seriously ever since his market started falling badly.

After Golmaal Returns, Ajay Devgan has felt the need to keep innovating with his looks and one can see that in the form of his next action comedy film Toonpur Ka Superhero. And now for the third instalment of Golmaal which is slated to go on the floors very soon, Ajay has planned a crew cut. And that’s not all.

The actor will also sport a stubble with a stud as well in his ear. That’s a stud in the making? Huh?

And now after the success of 'Avatar', everyone wants to make their film in a 3D format.

And that is what even Kumar Mangat is now trying after watching the film. His film Toonpur Ka Superhero starring Ajay Devgan is being readied and Mangat clearly wants to make the film in the 3D format to ensure that he is abreast of the latest ways in cinema making.

Avatar had a Hindi version too as a lot of audiences in India have seen the film and will be comparing the film with other Indian products – specially superhero movies.

That was reason enough for Rakesh Roshan to rethink his next Hrithik's film. But Mangat already having committed to the Ajay Devgan-Kajol starrer, will have to ensure that the film is up to international standards for sure.

After a wait of 2 years, this film should better be worth it!

The prolific Priyadarshan has had more than his share of title problems with his new Ajay Devgn-Akshaye Khanna-Bipasha Basu starrer. A hard-hitting film about love across caste barriers and honour killing set in Bihar, Priyan wanted to call it Ishqana. But Ishqiya came along and Priyan chose Garam Hawa.

But now that title too had to be hastily abandoned and Priyan has called his film Aakrosh. Explains the exhausted director, "We wanted to call it Garam Hawa as homage to M.S. Sathyu's classic film of that name. But then Mr. Sathyu got very upset. We received a letter from him questioning our right to use his title. We immediately abandoned Garam Hawa. In order to use Aakrosh as the title, we got the original Aakrosh's director Govind Nihalani's permission. He was very generous about it."

Of late, Priyan has been working over-time. "I need a break. I've four films this year. Aakrosh and Khatta Meetha are almost complete. Then I'm going into a film about the loves and lusts of the youth for which I want to cast newcomers along with Prateik Babbar. I'm starting this film in July. Finally, I want to make my realistic no-frills film on AIDS at the end of this year with Aamir Khan in the lead. I'll go to him only when my script is ready."

Priyan says he needs a star like Aamir to have a large receptive audience for the AIDS film. "I'm more successfully known for my comedies in the North. However, even if Aamir declines, I'll still go ahead with the AIDS film."
