Kareena replaces Mallika 'Pyar ke side effects 2'

Kareena Kapoor has got her hands full and is having the last laugh too, for the actress who was slammed by eminent journalist Pritish Nandy for looking ‘like a joke’ in ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ has been approached by Pritish Nandy Communications (PNC) to star in the sequel of ‘Pyaar Ke Side Effects’ opposite Akshay.

According to reports, Kareena Kapoor and Pritish Nandy have apparently had a cease-fire of sorts after exchanging jabbing comments, with Pritish calling Bebo ‘a joke’ and Kareena reverting with ‘He (Pritish) should concentrate on his work rather than blogging’.

Sources suggest that PNC, that was previously considering Sonam Kapoor for the role would rather have Kareena playing the same for she suits the role more than anything and same is perhaps the reason for Pritish eating his words and approaching Bebo. “Kareena has liked the role in PKSE 2 and has agreed to star in it”, suggests a source.

When enquired about the same, Nandy said, “I am out of town. My daughter Rangita might have approached Kareena. She is a good actress and I hadn’t made any personal comment against her. Those remarks were directed only at her character in ‘Kambakkht Ishq’.”

Kareena Loves working in Los Angeles

Look what a strike does for you. It makes a sixty day dry spell and then when it calls it off, within four hours of notice; there are hundreds of media personnel present to attend the exclusive press conference of Kambakkht Ishq at Taj Lands End in Bandra. It wasn't the media alone who were given a short notice. Akshay Kumar had to fly down from Karjat in an hour's notice and Kareena had to rush from Mehboob Studios to attend the grand event.

Kareena Kapoor gave a short speech. A glimpse of the film's trailer and a song was screened for the media and a surprise cake cutting ceremony was held to mark the release date of the film - July 10. Then comes the stampede. Journalists
, photographers and the camera crew rush to the near by room where the two sexes - Viraj (Akshay) and Simrita (Kareena) are ready to battle it out with some absurd, strange, mad and some decent questions thrown at her.


This is the seventh time you're working with Akshay and your chemistry with him is working out fine. What say?
I love to work with Akshay Kumar because I've known him since I was in school. I met him first on the sets of Deedar with Karisma. He is one of India's biggest superstars. His struggle along with Karisma's has gone hand in hand. It feels like he is a part of a family.

Your best friend Amrita Arora is also there in Kambakkht Ishq.
It's been great. I've worked with her in Golmaal Returns and I'm hoping that this film too does well like Golmaal Returns.

You look is very different in the film. Tell us something about it.
The stylist of this film is Aki Narula. We've shopped from Milan and Rome for the costumes of Kambakkht Ishq. You will not find such kind of dresses in a normal Hindi film. We've gone to a very understated and a classic look. I've got lots of messages from people about my look and it feels nice.

How different is Simrita from Kareena Kapoor?
Very different. Simrita in the film is a feminist and I'm not. Simrita is a tough nut to crack and I'm not. Simrita is quite insensitive in the first half which I'm not. But that's the whole fun of it because we play roles different from our real life personality.

You too have got a dialogue saying 'Men want only one thing'.
Don't you think so? Lagta toh aise hi hain na? When you watch the film you'll realise that. You guys watch English film, don't you? Then why make such a big issue out of it?

How was it like shooting in Hollywood with Hollywood stars?
I loved working in Los Angeles. We had a beautiful weather and we got to work with the Hollywood crew. What more can we ask for? I've only done one scene with Denise Richards and two scenes with Sylvester Stallone. They are absolutely normal as normal can be.

How physically challenging and tedious can a role be after you've played size zero in Tashan?
Well, Tashan was tiring because I had to maintain a figure which sent the national economy for a toss. It's nice and different in Tashan. Actually, I challenged myself to that film. Whereas in Kambakkht Ishq it's more like the girl needed to be voluptuous and fuller. She needed to be more fashion conscious. I will don and change myself according to whatever role.

You just mentioned that you want to see Akshay Kumar on the top as he is your favourite hero. What about Saif? Don't you want to see him on top too?
Saif is in the top already.

What was the best compliment you received from Sylvester Stallone?
The fact that I got to sit with him, interact with him and learn something from a hero who is like a father figure is more than what you can ask for. For me, that was my compliment.

We heard that Saif didn't like you wearing a bikini in Tashan and a swim suit in Kambakkht Ishq.
People don't wear jeans and go swimming, do they?

Which is your favourite song from the film?
There is a song with my name 'Bebo' in it and that is my favourite.

Kambakkht Ishq Remake of Tamil film Pammal K. Sambandam

Akshay Kumar's next release, Kambakkht Ishq is the remake of a Tamil film starring Kamal Haasan titled, Pammal K. Sambandam (2002). The Tamil film was a big hit down South.

In that film, Kamal Haasan had played the title role and it also starred Simran, Abbas and Sneha. Their roles have been substituted with Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Aftab Shivdasani and Sneha respectively. It was directed by Mouli. In the Tamil original, Kamal enacted the role of a film stuntman while Simran was a doctor in the making. In the Hindi version, Akshay Kumar is a renowned stunt artiste while Kareena Kapoor plays a super model. Pammal K. Sambandam was to have been remade in Hindi by Anees Bazmee for South producer GV Films which had acquired the remaking rights for Rs. 5 lakh.

However, Sajid paid Rs. 75 lakh for the same remaking rights. Reportedly, Sajid Nadiadwala has spared neither efforts nor money in remaking the South hit. Al though it is directed by a new name (Saabir Khan), it is said to have cost over Rs. 60 crore. Incidentally, the film's release has been postponed, thanks to the face-off between multiplexes and producers/distributors. Instead of 29th May, it may now come in August or July.

Akshay-Kareena rock in Kambakkht Ishq promos

All eyes are on KAMBAKKHT ISHQ and rightly so! Some of the biggest names in the business -- Sajid Nadiadwala, Kishore and Sunil Lulla of Eros, Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor -- have got together for this film and the makers have also roped in a good number of international biggies (Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards, Brandon Routh) for the project.

The first promo of the film will be unveiled this week, with the prints of AA DEKHEN ZARA.

The promo begins with a striking visual -- the skyline of Los Angeles -- and soon Stallone takes over. 

He's about to hand over an award to the best stuntman (Akshay Kumar). Yes, Akki plays a stuntman in the film, while Kareena plays a supermodel.
One would expect the two lovebirds to hold hands and run around trees, right? But KAMBAKKHT ISHQ is different.

Here, the two are constantly at war, constantly arguing and threatening the other. The tu-tu-main-main makes for interesting viewing and the backdrop (Hollywood) only elevates the film to dizzy heights. If the promo is an indicator of what is to follow, await KAMBAKKHT ISHQ with bated breath.

'Kambakkht Ishq' promo – Akshay calls Kareena a 'bitch'

The promo of Sajid Nadiadwala’s movie Kambakkth Ishq has its leading stars Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor calling each other canine names.

The movie’s trailer was set to air on television from this weekend but may not go on air because the Censor Board deems it unfit for mass viewing and has given it an ‘A’ certificate.

According to reports the promo has certain objectionable content.

The Board’s regional officer is quoted as saying that the promo as has Kareena calling Akshay “a dog”. Akshay responds to her in same vein by calling her “a bitch”. If that’s not objectionable enough there’s a dialogue that says that women are only meant for making love.

Though the above dialogues could be part of the film’s comedy, the Censor Board chose to gave it an ‘A’ certificate because the context of the dialogues is not established in the promos.

It means that the promos can now be shown only in theatres and that too with movies that have ‘A’ certification.

‘Kambakkth Ishq’ is one of the most awaited films of this year. Apart from Akshay and Kareena, it has cameos by Hollywood stars like Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards and Brandon Routh.
