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 Phadnis 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 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", says Manjari who made her debut as a school girl in 2004's Rok Sako To Rok Lo.

"It seems like such a long time. However, from here on I believe the journey should get into a fast track mode", adds Manjari whose next film release would be I Am 24 where she acts alongside Rajat Kapoor, Ranvir Shorey, Neha Dhupia and Vijay Raaz. "It is a breezy entertainer and the comedy there is first of its kind 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 realised 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. 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 flavour of the film so well.

“There are so many Bollywood stars who are devotees of Siddhivinayak,” says Rajiv Sanghvi, the producer of the movie titled Vighnaharta Shri Siddhivinayak. “Hence, when we decided to make the movie, we thought of roping in all the people who are devotees of the deity.”

He also clarifies that the master blaster is not acting in the movie. “He and his wife Anjali will be shown performing an aarti in the Siddhivinayak temple,” says Sanghvi.

“Obviously, Sachin was our main focus in the movie as he is a famous cricketer and an inspiration for the country’s young people. Just before Sachin left for the Sri Lanka tour, we proposed the idea of making the movie with him. He readily agreed. We will start shooting from today. The shoot should be over by September 5. We haven’t scheduled the movie for release during Ganesh Chaturthi as we feel that many people won’t have the time to watch the movie then. So we’ve decided to release the movie during Diwali. The lead actors are Parmeet Sethi and Divya Dutta, and we’re also planning to rope in other prominent actors like Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar. Rajiv Johri has written the lyrics and the music has been composed by Anil Mohile. The soundtrack will feature Udit Narayan and Shankar Mahadevan. Ganesh Acharya has agreed to do the choreography of the film. All the actors are doing the project free of cost,” he adds.

To add to the star factor, Amitabh Bachchan is doing the narration, says director Yashwant Ingavale. “It’s certainly not going to be a regular Bollywood film. It’s not a devotional film either, but will convey a strong message to the audience. It’s about the miraculous experience of the devotees,” he says. It was Madhur ‘Page 3’ Bhandarkar who gave him the idea for the film, he adds. “This is my debut Hindi movie. I have assisted Madhur, and when he asked me to make this movie, I couldn’t help being excited,” he says.

Trustees from the Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai say that the idea for a film on the deity has been floating about for a while now. “There were many devotees who actually suggested that there should be a movie made on Lord Ganesha,” says Subhash Mayekar, chairman of the Siddhivinayak Temple Trust. “It was then that one of our regular visitors, Rajiv Sanghvi, decided to make a film which would feature Sachin in a cameo. As Sachin is also one of the regular visitors to the temple, he couldn’t say no and readily agreed. We’ve taken permission from the temple authorities and will shoot some part of the movie in the temple premises.”

While Tendulkar wasn’t available for comment, his personal assistant said, “The temple wanted an earlier date for shooting, probably before the Sri Lanka tour. But due to Sachin’s busy schedule, he couldn’t get to shoot earlier. He has agreed to shoot for the film after coming back from the tour.”

Rumours are rife that one of the hottest couples in Bollywood, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, is heading for splitsville. The final blow to their relationship came in the form of the spat between Salman and Shah Rukh Khan on Katrina's birthday.

After splitting from his former girlfriend Aishwarya Rai, Salman had finally cashed in all his emotions on Katrina, but he seems to have lost her too as she is quite upset with him. Industry sources said Katrina is no mood to forgive him for his behaviour with Shah Rukh on her birthday which attracted much media attention. The sources said that after the incident Salman and Katrina are not on talking terms.

"Katrina is blaming Salman for the entire episode," said a common friend. Katrina opined that Salman should have restrained himself as he was playing the host. "But certain things are not in anyone's control and it is destined to happen," Katrina said in an interview.

A close friend of Salman said: "He is good at heart. He took initiative for the party to please Katrina. But everything went wrong."

Salman and Katrina's relationship was already going through a rough patch. Katrina's ambition is the reason for Salman's anguish. The British-born actress has long stopped taking his advice regarding her professional life, which irked the actor. Salman, who is known for his hot temper, had objections to Katrina's choice of films, her co stars and even the outfits she wore for some films.

The ‘Fear Factor- Khatron Ke Khiladi’ will be seen fighting with eight WWE wrestlers from Australia in an action sequence in Vipul Shah’s ‘Singh Is Kinng’.

The host of Fear Factor in India needs some serious muscle power to beat this mob! Singh is Kinng director Anees Bazmee is pitting India`s only action star against (what looks like) gladiators from the deepest pits of the WWE and we are united in prayer for the former`s safety.
A total of eight wrestlers from Australia will battle Happy Singh in one particular action sequence and there are rumours that the Bollywood star will take on the Great Khali himself. How do you spell suicide?

Before the shooting began, the wrestlers and Akshay were able to interact and the mob seemed very interested in the actor`s work. A few of them had even seen his films (hopefully the good ones)! One of them, called Chris, even taught Akshay some tricks in arm-wrestling (including the one where you re-attach the shoulder after it has been ripped out of your neck)!

Good luck to you Akshay. Come back in one piece.
