I used to wear size 36 jeans now I'm ready for a bikini: Parineeti

Actress Parineeti Chopra, who had to shed extra pounds for her role in "Ishaqzaade", says she easily gains weight while her cousin Priyanka Chopra doesn't face any weight issues. 

"Priyanka eats more than me, but her metabolism is amazing. Touchwood, she never puts on weight. She was like this since her childhood. I was fat since I was a child. She is blessed with great metabolism, so she doesn't put on weight. I easily gain weight," said Parineeti who debuted with "Ladies Vs Rickhy Behl". 

A foodie, Parineeti hates exercising. "I am a Punjabi and I love food. I was very fat and I used to wear size 36 jeans. Now I have to work out and I hate that. I don't work out every day. 

For the past one month, I have not exercised," she told reporters and added that she hits gym just two months before the shooting. 

What about having a bikini body? "If there is a script where I have to wear a bikini, then I know I have the will power to become like that," said the actress. The launch vehicle of Boney Kapoor's son Arjun, "Ishaqzaade" is set for a May 11 release.

Sonakshi doesn't mind being on the heavier side

A birdie chirps to say that Sonakshi Sinha does not feel she needs to shed any more weight. She feels the audience has accepted her as she is, so why would she do anything to change that 

She feels that she can carry herself off in the roles she is doing, so why should she go on crash diets and gym it out. A bit heavy should not matter. 

Considering that she is a one film wonder, it’s okay for Sona to have said this. We’ll wait for her other flicks to release to see how well she fits the role.

'Sarkar 3' on cards, sans Aishwarya

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has begun working on "Sarkar 3" and clarifies that while Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan will reprise their roles, Aishwarya Rai won't be part of the cast.

It was speculated that Aishwarya will return to the arc lights post-pregnancy sabbatical with "Sarkar 3", but Varma has set the record straight.

"'Sarkar 3' is being planned... Amitji and Abhishek will feature in it but contrary to reports Aishwarya won't be... script is still under progress," Varma tweeted.

The first instalment of "Sarkar" saw Katrina Kaif playing the love interest of Abhishek. Later Aishwarya came on board for "Sarkar Raj", though in a different role.

Hindi remake of 'Vettai' to go on floor with Shahid in lead

Get a good Hindi dialogue writer" is what Shahid Kapoor advised director Linguswamy when the Tamil-to-Hindi remake of his Tamil hit "Vettai" was not working out. Now everything is sorted out and the movie is set to go on floors in June.

Shahid joined the project on condition that a reliable and sound Hindi dialogue writer be brought into the project. So Prasoon Joshi will likely pen the dialogues for the movie that will go on floors in June.

Barely able to communicate in English, Linguswamy said: "I cannot communicate in Hindi. And the dialogues were not being translated properly. That was the main problem. Now my producer UTV is hiring a dialogue writer of their choice. That writer will be getting together with the Tamil dialogue writer of 'Vettai' to get the essence of the dialogues."

Linguswamy admits the words were getting in the way.

"We've sorted out that problem and now we're getting ready to start shooting. You must understand I've never done a Hindi film. And it's an all-new experience for me. The Hindi version of Vettai has to be totally different from the Tamil. It's a different culture for the national market. And I'm trying to understand the market," he said.

Pakistan's musician-actor Ali Zafar has been roped in to play Shahid's elder brother.

"We've already finalised Ali and Shahid for brothers roles. Ileana D'Cruz is almost finalised (to play Shahid's romantic lead)," said Linguswamy

'Dostana 2' to finally roll

Director Tarun Mansukhani has reportedly cracked the plot and finally "Dostana 2" is set to roll in the middle of the year. The film is said to be far more naughty and wicked and John Abraham says he can't wait to get cosy with Abhishek Bachchan on the screen again.

"Yes, Tarun Mansukhani has finally got the plot in place. And we're all set. I maintain Abhishek is my best screen-jodi. And I can't wait to get cosy with him on screen," said John, who featured in the part one with Abhishek in "Dostana".

The sequel to the successful 2008 comedy would be set in two continents and would play on the gay-versus-straight theme far more aggressively.

Not willing to divulge too many details, John let out, "'Dostana 2' would be set in London and Punjab."

The sequel won't go anywhere near beaches and bikini babes either.

"The Californian seaside setting of 'Dostana' took care of all the water-related activities. 'Dostana 2' would unfold on terra firma. No beaches and, sorry, no John in dangerously low-waist swimming trunks. The cracks, if any, would show elsewhere," said a source.

The idea this time is to turn the tables on the principal actors. John would appear fully clothed and Abhishek, we hear, just might be going bare-chested for the sequel.

"The sequel is going to be far more naughty and wicked. There'll be lots of sexual jokes, though Karan Johar and Tarun Mansukhani would make sure that the gay community would not get offended. Innocuous fun would still be the key," said another source.
