Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na girl Manjari Fadnis in music video ???

Her ‘What’s That’ act did get her all the attention in Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na. However, with a blockbuster to her name, Manjari Fadnis is now moving on and looking forward to her upcoming assignments. The first of them which would be unveiled for audiences any time now is a music video for which she shot some time back.

“This is a beautiful ’sufi’ number which is sung by Krishna (of ‘Maula Mere’ - Chak De India and ‘Main Jahaan Rahoon’ - Namastey London) fame. He has cut an album and a music video has been made for one of the songs. It is a good platform for me as I am seen in Indian costumes. Also, since the video revolves around the character I enact, it does give me good visibility”, informs Manjari who made her debut as a school girl in Rok Sako To Rok Lo four years back.
“It seems like such a long time back. However, from here on I believe the journey should get into a fast track mode”, beams Manjari whose next film release would be I Am 24 where she faces the camera along with the likes of Rajat Kapoor, Ranvir Shorey, Neha Dhupia, Vijay Raaz, “It is a breezy entertainer and the comedy there is first of it’s kinds as well. It was a riot shooting for the film.”

Talking about her newfound success, Manjari goes on to exclaim, “I missed all the euphoria created by Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na on its release. I was stationed in Bangkok and the moment I landed in Mumbai, I could sense people looking at me strangely. Soon a young girl passed by me and said ‘Hi Meghna’ with a sweet smile. This is when I realized that the film and my character (Meghna) had caught on with people. Congratulatory calls have been coming in ever since then which by it’s sheer quantum, to be honest, is a first as I didn’t experience anything like that with Rok Sako To Rok Lo or Mumbai Salsa.

How about her now-famous ‘What’s That’ act? One hears that it is getting popular as well in the campus circuit. “And also the ‘Pappu Dance’”, laughs Manjari, “So what if I couldn’t be a part of the dance sequence, I still had a riot watching it over and over again. I am proud of the film and happy that youngsters have absorbed the flavor of the film so well. Things like ‘What’s That’, ‘Pappu Dance’ and the cool costumes that we all had worn aren’t always made with a thought; they just get made! I am happy that Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na is turning out to be a trendsetter of sorts.”

Kareena Kapoor - Most Influential Woman in Bollywood ???

If Forbes can do it, then, why not Verve? We are indeed talking about the lifestyle magazine Verve's latest issue that has profiled the top female achievers of this year.

The best part of this list is that there are no rankings or ratings for the achievers. They are simply profiled. And true to the saying that there is no bigger business than showbiz, it is indeed Kareena Kapoor, the reigning queen of Bollywood, who features on the magazine cover. Showing no signs of slowing down when it comes to posing for covers, one surely must've lost the count of the number of magazines that she has posed for this year.

Well, Kareena kapoor is one chic, for whom 'over-exposure' just does not hold any water. The other achievers from the film industry include Aishwarya Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Katrina Kaif, Ekta Kapoor, Farah Khan, and Mira Nair. Overall, this is a collector's issue and one should preserve it...till the new list comes in!



Saif Ali Khan romances Kareena Kapoor

Saif Ali Khan will romance real life ladylove Kareena Kapoor in a new Karan Johar production.

The couple has been signed on by Rensil D’ Silva of Rang De Basanthi fame who will direct this movie. Saif and Bebo will pair for the first time in a Karan Johar movie.

But this movie is not the bubbly romance with foreign locales that Johar has perfected. It will be a dark gritty drama with Saif as a terrorist. Kareena will play his ladylove.

This movie is going to be an interesting watch as Karan Johar makes a U-turn from his usual lavish set, dances filled romantic comedies.

Saif Ali Khan, who is known to play rather typical characters like Sameer in Dil Chahta Hai, Karan Singh Rathod in Ek Haseena Thi, Cyrus Mistry in Being Cyrus and Langda Tyagi in Omkara, is again ready to play a hatke role.He will play a terrorist in Karan Johar’s next production. The untitled film will be directed by Rang De Basanti writer, Rensil D’Silva.

Says a source close to the film, “The story is a far cry from the usual Karan’s films. There will be no designer glam sham or naach gaana. It is a hard-hitting subject. Karan loved Rensil’s script so much that he decided to produce it. He also gave Rensil the freedom to choose the actors to justify his script. That’s how Rensil decided to cast Saif. He plays a meticulous and urban-educated terrorist. There is also an interesting romantic track between him and the leading lady, Kareena,” adds the source.

Saif Ali Khan - Here comes the cover ‘man’

With Kareena Kapoor being the reigning cover queen, how could beau Saif Ali Khan be left behind? So, now we have Nawab Khan on the covers of the latest edition of the lifestyle magazine ‘Man’s World’.

The dition has Saif tlak about his life and more about his career, the parameters that he considers while signing a film, the vibes et al, his 3-part career path, his films gone by, his kind of roles, his world-famous tattoo and much more!

Going by the killer looks of Saif Ali Khan, one does wonder who is luckier among Saif and Kareena. Saif for getting Kareena as his arm candy or Kareena for having Saif in her grip?
