Salman Khan and Asin refuses hot and steamy intimate scene shooting

Mar 2, Mumbai: Beautiful lass, Asin Thottumkal shot to fame, by making a dream debut in Bollywood, opposite Aamir Khan in “Ghajini”. She was already a craze in the south Indian film industry, and “Ghajini” made her popular in Bollywood too. Keralite Asin started acting when she was just 14 years old.

After the release of her second Hindi film “London Dreams” where she was paired opposite Salman Khan, news of Salman and Asin’s affair surfaced, but a while later this news fell flat. Now, that this hot onscreen pair is again working together for an upcoming film “Ready”, grapevine has it that both of them have got some steamy hot scenes together. But when Anees Bazmee was questioned about this, he commented “Ready” is a comedy film with no vulgarity. He makes such films that can be watched with whole family.

Bazmee included that there is an intimate song of Salman and Asin, but there is nothing raunchy in it.

“Ready” is being shot in Sri Lanka, although it was previously scheduled to be shot in Mauritius. The first schedule of the movie is 10 to 15 days long. The movie is produced by T-Series.

It seems media has goofed up the news of the duo doing hot scenes, which is nothing else than a rumour.

Rahman loses out on Oscars for '127 Hours'

A R Rahman failed to recreate his 'Slumdog Millionaire' Oscar magic this year, losing out in the Best Original Score and Best Song categories at the 83rd Academy Awards here today.

Indian hopes were further dashed when NRI editor Tariq Anwar failed to bag the Best Film Editing trophy for the British drama 'The King's Speech', which went to Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter of 'The Social Network'.

Rahman, dressed in a black sherwani, performed his nominated track 'If I Rise' from the the Danny Boyle film '127 Hours' with British popstar Florence Welch to much applause.

But the 45-year-old lost the Best Song trophy to Randy Newman who won for his composition 'We Belong Together' from 'Toy Story' 3.

The golden statuette for the Best Original Score went to composer duo Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross who won for their soundtrack in the fantasy blockbuster 'The Social Network'.

Rahman was hoping to repeat his golden run at the 2009 Oscars, where he won two statuettes for his music in another of Boyle's film, the Mumbai based potboiler 'Slumdog Millionaire'.

The 'Mozart of Madras' missed the golden trophy last year too, after his song 'Na Na' (from 'Couple's Retreat') failed to get a nomination despite being in the long list for the 'Best Song' category.

Earlier this year, the 'Jai Ho' hitmaker had lost out on a Golden Globe for Best Score to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, but won a Critics Choice award for the "haunting tracks" and "wonderful crescendos" of '127 Hours'.

Rahman had won a BAFTA nomination for the same, but had lost the trophy to Alexandre Desplat, who won for his score in 'The King's Speech'.

Rahman, who was honoured with a Padma Bhushan last year, had also enjoyed a golden run at the 52nd Grammy Awards, where he had again bagged two gramophones for his music in 'Slumdog Millionaire'.

'127 Hours', starring James Franco as real-life mountain climber Aron Ralston, who cut off his arm to escape from beneath a boulder after being trapped for more than five days, had won six nominations including Best Film, but returned empty handed just like Rahman.

Earlier 'Peepli Live', India's official entry to the Oscars had failed to make it to the final nine films which
were nominated in the Best Foreign Film category, which was finally won by Danish film 'In a Better World'.

Canada will be next hot spot for Bollywood

'Of course, Bollywood films have been shot here since the late 1980s. We did some big films - at the rate of one or two a year - from the mid-90s to 2001. Among the major films shot here were 'Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi' in 1995, and 'Mr and Mrs Khiladi' and 'Shabash Daddy' in 1997,' Finestone told IANS in an interview.

'Then there was a decline, but Bollywood came back. In 2010, we did two films, one of which was a crossover.'

Anees Bazmee's upcoming 'Thank You' has also been shot in Canada.

Explaining why Toronto was attracting film productions from Bollywood and other places, he said: 'We deliver first-class facilities and support and cast staff. We have every kind of studio and equipment that film production needs. Bollywood shooting here is fun as production companies can tap into the talent of a huge Indian diaspora.

'Then Bollywood loves the kind of shooting spots we offer - the Niagara Falls, fabulous lakes, wildness, vistas and everything.'

He added, 'Since Bollywood is trying to make more and more crossover (cross-cultural)films like 'Bend It Like Beckham', increasingly non-Indians are flocking to them. I think these kind of films (cross-over) will also help Bollywood stay connected with second- and third-generation Indian diaspora.'

Finestone feels Bollywood offers a unique genre of films.

'These films are different. They are predictable - you know what you will get when you go to see a Bollywood film. That's why they are liked by non-Indians.'

Indian films, which already enjoy a huge popularity here, will become even more popular as Bollywood also brings its International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards show here and India holds a year-long cultural festival in the city.

'As India has come of age, Indian culture (like other things) has taken new dimensions. Indian culture is a big export, and it will pick up (here) this year,' Finestone told IANS.

With India announcing a cultural centre and plans to hold its next mini-Pravasi Bharatiya Divas here in June after the signing of a cultural MoU with Canada last year, cultural collaboration between the two countries is set to get a big boost.

Since Toronto is the world's major film production centre, Finestone said: 'The Canada-India cultural MoU may lead to a film co-production agreement, which will bring more Bollywood work here. We have 50 such agreements with foreign countries.

"Ready" is Ready

Starring Salman Khan and Asin in lead roles, Ready directed by Anees Bazmee is ready to be released on May 27, this year. This upcoming Bollywood comedy has all the masala to make the audience happy. However, it is a remake of the 2008 Telegu film bearing the same title that was directed by Sreenu Vaitala, the lead roles being played by Ram and Genelia. Since the Tamil film reportedly had enjoyed very good box office, Salman was confident that this Bollywood version would enjoy similar success, although the production had its own share of misfortunes. To begin with, Salman’s decision for changing the location of the film from Mauritius to Sri. Lanka was not welcomed by the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce (SIFCC). “Bollywood directors can not direct remake movies from Tamil and Telegu”, they chorused. Some of them even went one step forward by declaring, “The original directors from the South should do it”, while most of them argued that “Music directors also should be from South, as the background music should be different for mass movies”. Needless to say, good old Salman never paid much attention to such namby-pamby and continued with the filming, though the shooting was eventually completed in Mumbai.
