NEWS: Indonesia grooves to SRK's beats
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan took his Indonesian fans by storm as he grooved with his friends, actresses Preity Zinta, Rani Mukerji and Bipasha Basu, as part of his Temptations Reloaded tour in Jakarta.
Shah Rukh made his stage-entry on a bike, sending the huge crowd at Sentul International Convention Center, Jakarta, into a frenzy of excitement.
"This time I didn't get a chance to roam around in Jakarta. But I have always felt strongly that one can always tell how beautiful the place is by the people one meets there. Jakarta is a lovely place and the love that I got from the people there was my 'feel good factor'," Shah Rukh said in a statement.
"I say that because I have been rushing around these days from film festival to movie shoot and then to Jakarta. It has been a mad rush, but the love I got at Jakarta made it all worthwhile," the actor added.
Shah Rukh enjoys being part of such live shows.
"Doing shows like this is a fine experience of being part of the entertainment industry. Last time we did Temptations was in 2004. The years after that, I and all my friends, who were part of the show got busy. So we decided to start off again and that's why it's called Temptations Reloaded," said Shah Rukh.
NEWS: 'Go Goa Gone' to release on Valentine's Day?
Saif Ali Khan's "Go Goa Gone" will hit the screens in the New Year, and director Raj Nidimoru says it might release Feb 14, which happens to be Valentine's Day.
However, he says nothing is final yet.
"We have planned to release 'Go Goa Gone' on 14th February next year. The date has not been confirmed at the moment, but we are trying for that date," Nidimoru said.
The film stars Saif, Kunal Kemmu, Vir Das, and Puja Gupta.
It is a zombie film and the thought behind releasing it Feb 14 is that the story line will be in complete contrast with the significance of the date.
"14th February will be contrast to our story line. 'Go Goa Gone' is a zombie film," said Nidimoru, who has co-directed the project with Krishna D.K.
The shooting for the movie is over, and it is currently under post production.
The director duo has earlier worked on films like "Shor in The City" and "99".
NEWS: Akshay to play lead in 'Jatt & Juliet' remake?
The remake rights of "Jatt & Juliet", the biggest hit in Punjabi cinema of all times, has been secured by producers Himesh Reshammiya and Rakesh Upadhyay -- the team that has just released the comic romp "Khiladi 786".
It, therefore, comes as no surprise to hear that Akshay Kumar is likely to play the lead in the Hindi adaptation of the film.
The all-time blockbuster of a Punjabi romance starred Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa as a rustic Punjabi and a sophisticated fashion designer who keep bumping into one another in Canada.
The Punjabi film has been itching for a Bollywood interpretation. We now hear that following "Khiladi 786", Reshammiya and Upadhyay have joined hands to do "Jatt & Juliet" in Hindi.
The Hindi remake would be directed by Anurag Singh, who directed the Punjabi smash hit.
Upadhyay, while admitting that the "Jatt & Juliet" remake would start early next year, refrains from commenting on the cast.
"At the moment, I wouldn't like to comment on the cast. But yes, Himesh and I are going ahead with two projects. One of them is a thriller and the other is the remake of 'Jatt & Juliet'. The Punjabi film was also produced by Himesh and me. We'll do the remake on a much more lavish scale. But the basic plot of 'Jatt & Juliet' is so endearing it needs no embellishment in Hindi."
Press him about Akshay Kumar's presence in the remake, and Upadhyay laughs: "We've just delivered a film that has been immensely liked. So Himesh, Akshay and I would definitely not like to break the team. Like I said, until all the formalities are completed it would be unwise to talk about the casting."
Reshammiya and Upadhyay intend to continue producing films together.
"After Khiladi 786, Himesh has 10 hardbound scripts ready. We're both workaholics. We'll continue to collaborate on mass-entertainment films. We want to make the kind of films that make people smile and laugh."

NEWS: Kareena Kapoor Will Have To Do Homework For ‘Satyagraha’
Bollywood’s reigning queen Kareena Kapoor’s next film is veteran filmmaker Prakash Jha’s ‘Satygraha’. The film is a political thriller and Kareena is playing a role of a journalist in it.
According to the reports, Kareena’s character is the film is designed on CNN’s Christiane Amanpour and she will have to work hard to make herself ready for the role.
Interestingly, Kareena is known to be a spontaneous actor and she doesn’t believe in rehearsing or advance preparation for her roles. However, this time it would be different as Jha has asked Kareena to do her homework and be in sync with our country’s current political movements.
A source close to the film says, “Kareena would have to become thoroughly familiar with present-day political affairs. Her character is a fiercely militant investigative journalist. For her too look credible Parkash feels the words about present day politics and politicians should not come from the script. They should flow naturally from the actress’ sensitivities as an Indian.”
The source further adds, “For this Kareena would have to change her working method. She normally gets familiar with her lines just before a shot. For ‘Satayrgaha’ she would have to spend time understanding the genesis of her character’s thought process before being able to express it properly.”
‘Satyagraha’ is expected to go on floors from mid January. The political thriller also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn,Arjun Rampal and Manoj Bjapayee in the leading roles.
