After working with Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal in Phir Hera Pheri, director Priyadarshan has been waiting to bring the hit team together. Now, nine years after Priyadarshan made that laugh-a-riot Hera Pheri in 2000, he’s managed to pull it off for Venus’ De Dana Dan.

There were so many factors that were coming between the casting of the foursome. Kumar, has turned into a superstar. Priyadarshan is one of the busiest directors of the industry making one film after the other. And, Shetty and Kumar, were reportedly having a tiff because Shetty withdrew himself from Singh Is Kinng in the  last minute.

But now all is well and Priyan has managed to bring this casting coup in his yet another comedy film De Dana Dan. Audiences will see the hit pair again when the film releases on 27 November 2009.

Firoz Nadiadwala has purchased the rights of Hangover—the much talked about film. It will be directed by Firoz’s favourite director Anees Bazmee. In the comedy, four men travel to Las Vegas for a 24 hour stag party. They wake up with the worst hangover and find that the groom is missing, as they try to recall the details of the debauched night.

A source said, “Firozbhai loved the script and the film and immediately got into the process of acquiring the Hindi rights of the film. In fact, he has also been casting for the film on the sly. Abhishek Bachchan will play the role played by Bradley Cooper and Paresh Rawal will step into the shoes of Zach Galifianakis.

Katrina Kaif will play the role of the fiancée. The film will start early next year.” While Firoz Nadiadwala remained noncommittal, director Anees Bazmee confirmed the news. Anees said, “It’s true. I am shooting in South Africa and Sanjay Dutt and I have been discussing the film.

I loved the film and Sanjay is very eager to do it too. Even Ritesh Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan have been finalised. I am shooting No Problem in Durban, once I am free of that, I will start scripting the film.”

Aamir Khan’s wife Kiran Rao makes her directorial debut with Dhobi Ghaat. So far, the popular notion was that Prateik Babbar, who played Genelia’s brother in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, plays the film’s lead while Aamir has just a guest role. But that was just an eye-wash to keep the real cast of the film under wraps.

It has now come to the fore that Aamir plays a full-fledged role in the film. The actor himself confirmed it on his blog.

“…yes the cat is finally out of the bag. I am playing one of the leads in Kiran’s film Dhobi Ghat. The reason we kept this under wraps is that she didn’t want to attract much attention towards her film. She wanted to make this film on real locations with a tiny crew, very guerilla style,” Aamir wrote.

Aamir added that the strategy worked because no one, not even the media, got to know that he was playing the lead until the shooting was over.

“…we had to do it very quietly. And for once we managed to keep a secret from the media, at least until we finished the shoot,” he wrote. Aamir has also finished the shooting of Raju Hirani’s film 3 Idiots. Only a song remains to be shot. It will be canned in September.

Already there are around seven versions of Devdas in different languages, which have been made into movies. Firstly it was in Bengali language and two times the same subject has been treated in Hindi translation too. Now again, the subject will be treated, but in a Bhojpuri way.

Soon the viewers are going to see Devdas in Bhojpuri films. “Ravi Kishan is all set to play the main lead role. Bhagyashree the damsel of Hindi film Maine Pyaar Kiya is all set to play Paro in the film,” says the source. This seems to be the second flick of Bhagyashree in Bhojpuri genre.

“She was earlier seen in the film called Janam Janam Ka Saath which includes star cast like Manoj Tiwari and Nagma. She seems to be excited to play the role of Paro and make it big for herself in Bhopuri Cinema,” adds the source.

When asked about who is going to play the part of Chandramukhi, our source chirps, “Nothing has been decided on that part, but if the buzz is to be believed it could be the bhaurani of small screen, Shweta Tiwari. The entire star cast is yet to be finalised. Even, for that matter Ravi has just signed the contract yesterday.”

Now the question remains, who will play the part of colourful Chunni Babu, the most important person in the life of Devdas? “As usual it’s going to be none-other-than Jackie Shroff to portray the role of Chunibabu, as his work in Sanjay Leela Bansali’s Devdas has been much appreciated. The producers cannot think of anyone else other than him for this role.”

Almost the main cast of the film has been decided. “The shoot for the same will be starting from December as Ravi has his other commitments to be looked upon. Till that time he will finish-off all his movie shoots and start fresh with Devdas,” converse the source.

“For now Ravi will be moving towards South to complete his flick Ravana by Mani Ratnam. He has few more other films in his kitty, but is very excited to play the legendry role of Devdas in the film,” concludes the source. Devdas was made thrice that resulted in a successful box-office hat-trick for Devdas, now, one has to wait and watch whether it will be a hit or miss for the fourth time!

Once Upon A Time In Mumbai, is a forthcoming Hindi Movie by Ekta Kapoor with Ajay Devgan and Emraan Hashmi. The movie based on the underworld in Mumbai in the 70’s.

Recently it was reported that for her latest film production ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai’, Ekta Kapoor hiked the art direction budget from Rs 8 crores to Rs 15 crores.

Apparently, she had seen the rushes of this Milan Luthria directed film and was left so much impressed that she didn’t hesitate in upping the film’s budget even as numerous film makers are busy with cut downs.

So what was it in the rushes that made Ekta Kapoor go gaga? Well, a little birdie informs that it was the presence of a certain Emraan Hashmi that did the trick.

Says the source, “The film’s first schedule is through and around 25 percent of the principal shoot is over. Emraan Hashmi has a tailor made role in the film and what he has done so far is simply fabulous. It was his bravura act that made her jump with excitement.”

“For a film with a subject like this (70s underworld), it was always necessary to have a lavish budget for the film. Ekta wanted to first see what has been made so far and then make a decision. Emraan’s performance is what convinced her further and she was totally on board to spend those extra crores”, she adds.

In the film’s first schedule, Emraan and Prachi Desai had participated in the shoot. Ajay Devgan is yet to shoot for the film and would be joining from the second schedule onwards.

National award winning actress Raveena Tandon, who essayed a variety of roles in movies in her nearly two decade-long Bollywood career, is excited about playing a lawyer for the first time in her forthcoming movie “Chassni”.
“It’s for the first time in 20 years that I’m getting to play a lawyer in a film and I’m excited because this is going to be my comeback film,” Raveena told in an interview. The film is being directed by Revathy Sharma and also stars veteran actress Jaya Bachchan, Ayesha Takia and Urvashi Sharma. “Chaasni” is a remake of the Tamil film “June R” and stresses the importance of adoption of those who are old. It is Sharma’s homage to elderly people.

Raveena, who made her Bollywood debut with “Patthar Ke Phool” in 1991, is returning to the arc lights after a four-year hiatus with the movie and says she was “hell nervous” when she gave her first shot for the movie. “The first day of shooting for ‘Chassni’ was very encouraging. I gave my first shot and the entire unit started clapping. I felt like – ‘This is where I am meant to be’. I delivered one dialogue in one take and Revathy said ‘Okay’ and my day was made,” said the actress who took a sabbatical after tying the knot with Anil Thadani in 2004.

Raveena also said that she wishes to do only such roles in her new innings in the industry. “I’m very glad that I’m making a comeback with the kind of roles that I want to do now – the kind that challenge me more than I can cater to. I do see a lot of scripts, but I’m now inclined to roles like I played in ‘Shool’, ‘Daman’ and ‘Satta’ – something more evolved and something that suits my personality now,” she said.

The actress is also judging kids’ comedy show “Chhote Miyan – Chapter 2″ on Colors channel. She enjoys her stint on the small screen, but says that she doesn’t wish to sign too many films right now. “I want to take it (movies) slow. I’m doing one film and one TV show. My kids are quite young and I don’t wish to overwork and then not be able to spend time with them. I will take things easy as far as films are concerned because they need more time,” said the mother of two.
