The new serial kissers of Bollywood

Sushant Singh Rajput seems to be the new actor to join the serial kisser bandwagon. According to a report in DNA, Sushant and co-star Swastika Mukherjee have shot the longest kissing scene for their upcoming film Detective Byomkesh Bakshy. The report quoted director Dibakar Banerjee stating that he wanted to throw Sushant Singh off guard and hence he had not briefed the actor about his intentions of shooting a lengthy kissing scene. 

The report further stated that Sushant was displeased at the end of it, but when he saw the final shot, he seemed fine with it. Previously he had kissing scenes in Shuddh Desi Romance and is all set to share a hot lip-lock with Anushka Sharma in PK. The actor seems uninhibited when it comes to locking lips on the silver screen. While Sushant may give Emraan Hashmi a run for his money, read on to know about the other competitors in the industry. 

Siddharth Malhotra, who entered Bollywood with the film Student Of The Year, kissed Alia Bhatt in the movie. In his next film Hasee Toh Phasee, the actor was again seen in a hot lip-lock with Parineeti Chopra. 

He also kissed Shraddha Kapoor in his next, Ek Villain! 

Arjun Kapoor too is on his way to be the next serial kisser. The actor has emerged as an expert in love-making scenes. In his debut film Ishaqzaade, he was seen kissing Parineeti and in his next film Aurangzeb the actor was seen doing intimate acts with Sashaa Agha. Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt set the temperatures soaring as they kissed onscreen in 2 States. 

While talking about his intimate moments, Arjun said in an interview to TOI, "It's the most natural thing to do. When a man falls in love, the first thing he will do is to kiss the girl. I think Emraan has broken the myth. Also, the audience today is sensible and understands the context of a scene. The love-making scene was integral to Ishaqzaade and Aurangzeb and was done aesthetically. We did not do it to add sleaze." 

Ranveer Singh too is the new entrant in the gang of kissers. The actor was confident with his chemistry in his debut film Band Baaja Baarat with Anushka Sharma and was seen getting involved in a hot lip-lock. Further, he was seen kissing Deepika Padukone in Ram Leela. He was also snapped planting a kiss on Deepika's cheek at the Hello! Awards.

Ranbir Kapoor, who did a kissing scene with his ex-flame Deepika Padukone in Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani is confident about his scenes. He even had a a kissing scene with Southern hottie Ileana D'Cruz in Barfi! In an interview with the Times Of India, Ranbir said, "Kissing onscreen is extremely technical! 

You have to see if the light is coming right, if your face is in the right position for the camera. Besides there are so many people around! I am an actor and it's a part of my acting. I also don't usually need retakes. I am a good kisser."

The Anupam Kher Show – Kucch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai is an extension of the actor's autobiographical play Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai where he bares his heart on a range of things close to his heart: from his failures, his struggles to get a foothold in an industry known for its high attrition rate, to his unflinching determination to manipulate his own destiny.   

The chat-based show, which hosts some of Bollywood's biggest names, lets the audience get a glimpse of the lives of people who are otherwise always guarded about things such as their days of struggle and heartbreaks, among other things. 

In a small promotional video, SRK is seen discussing his grandmom, his relation with his dad and more. Actors Kangana Ranaut, Vidya, Varun, Sonam, Naseeruddin, Parineeti, Yuvvraaj, Alia, Akshay, Kapil Sharma, Om Puri and Aditya Roy Kapur will be seen on different episodes of the show.

Going by the promos, The Anupam Kher Show - Kucch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai looks like a more sensible and personal version of Koffee with Karan.

Will it create the same amount of hype and buzz? That remains to be seen.  

Catch the show on Colors TV on Sunday at 8pm.

Varun and Alia started from this stage two years back with their film Student of the Year. Today, we launch the party number from our new film Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya." Varun danced on the peppy party number with Alia, who came dressed in a black and white top with long black skirt." I am glad to be dancing in front of both of my directors- Remo and Karan," said Varun.

Last year's contestant Siddharth Shukla also stars in the film.

Choreographer Remo D Souza is directing Varun in his forthcoming dance film ABCD 2.

Has Nargis Fakhri caught Arjun Kapoor’s fancy?

After Alia Bhatt’s early exit from a party held at Ekta Kapoor’s house recently, the Gunday actor set his eyes on Nargis and even shook his booty with the babe. Has Arjun Kapoor moved over Alia Bhatt?

Arjun Kapoor might have been denying the special bond he has with his 2 States co-actor Alia Bhatt, but we know for sure that there can’t be smoke without fire. Gossip mills are abuzz with the rumour that suggest ever-glowing flames burning between Alia and Arjun. But a recent a bash held at producer Ekta Kapoor’s house might reveal a kahaani mein interesting twist! Looks like Arjun is bored with his link-up with Alia and desperately wants to shift his focus to something more concrete. The 28-year-old therefore has now shifted his gaze to Nargis Fakhri, and our secret birdies spotted Arjun having a good time with the Rockstar babe not just at the gathering but even on the dance floor.

Riding high on the success of Ragini MMS 2 and Main Tera Hero, television mogul Ekta Kapoor threw a special bash at her palatial house in Juhu. Amongst many invitees from B-town were Arjun and Alia. In fact, the two came to the do hand-in-hand. After sometime, our secret khabroo who kept his eye on the jodi told us that Alia decided to leave the party early. She left her “good friend’ Arjun oh-so-alone at the party that the lad then decided to use his ‘Alia-free’ time to gel with Nargis Fakhiri. The onlookers tell that the two were seen bonding big time and even set the dance floor on fire-matching and co-coordinating each others steamy dance moves and even perfected their steps together.

We hope the energy the two created on the dance floor was not extended beyond the party hours, for if Alia gets to know about this episode(read escapade) there will be some explosions one might be subjected to. Arjun who is waiting for the release of 2 States certainly can’t afford to face that heat for sure, not now-at least! Or is it an “open relationship”, oops friendship that this duo Shares?

Alia Bhatt will be a very big star, predicts Parineeti Chopra

Parineeti Chopra

Who says two actresses don't praise each other? Bollywood's current favourite Parineeti Chopra is not only friends with her contemporary Alia Bhatt, but also feels that Alia has the potential to achieve the "big star" status.

Earlier, Alia was heard praising Parineeti in an episode of Karan Johar's chat show "Koffee With Karan Season 4". She said Parineeti's skills make her insecure in her skin and she sees competition in her.

"Alia and I are good friends. In fact, she always tells me these things. So when she said this on the show, I felt good that she praised me. I even gave her a call and told her that she doesn't need to feel insecure because I feel Alia will be a very big star," Parineeti said in an interview here.

The actress also praised Alia's "good looks" and "great screen presence".

"If I would not have been an actress, then as an audience I would have been an Alia Bhatt fan. But as an actress, I know she is very crafty, very good looking and has a great screen presence," said the 25-year-old who made her debut in 2011 with "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl".

Parineeti will next be seen in "Hasee Toh Phasee" with Siddharth Malhotra, while Alia's next is Imtiaz Ali's "Highway" with Randeep Hooda.

Will become a singer if I fail as an actress: Alia Bhatt

Alia Bhatt - IANS

Alia Bhatt, who has lent her voice to a song in her upcoming film 'Highway', says if she fails as an actress, she will turn to singing.

When director Imtiaz Ali asked her to croon a number in 'Highway', she jumped at the idea.

"I am not a singer... I think I am a bathroom singer. When I was asked to sing I was excited and thought of trying it (singing) out. A R Rahman sir was very patient with me. If I fail as an actress, I will become a singer," Alia told reporters here last night at the film's promotional event.

When the team of 'Highway' was travelling since it is a road movie, Alia would often sing Rahman's song 'Jiya Re Jiya'. That's when Imtiaz thought of exploring her singing talent.

Music maestro A R Rahman told her to practice and that if she learns singing for two years, she could have her album.

According to Alia, who is geared up for the highway journey in a deglam avatar with Randeep Hooda, both acting and singing are difficult.

"I am just two films old when it comes to acting and it's my debut as a singer with 'Highway'. For me both are difficult," she said.

"When I was recording with Rahman sir, I messed up a few times but that is ok...it happens. I did not know anything about singing...I did not know how to sustain my breath, but later on I learnt with the help of Rahman sir," Alia added.

'Highway', produced by Imtiaz Ali's Window Seat Films and presented by Sajid Nadiadwala, will be released worldwide by UTV Motion Pictures on February 21. The film is set in six states and captures the journey of two completely opposite persons who come together by fate.
