Why Aishwarya Rai rejected Varun Dhawan's 'Badlapur'?

When world's most beautiful woman, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan decides to make a comeback into movies, the reaction is nothing short of a news.

Now, as we all are aware that `Jazbaa` will mark the comback of sorts for Ash on the silver screen, what we did not probably knew was the fact that `Badlapur` was on her mind way before `Jazbaa`.

According to reports, earlier Ash was in talks with Sriram Raghavan's film to make her comeback in Hindi movies. But she rejected the Varun Dhawan starrer `Badlapur` owing to the ensemble cast that the movie has- Huma Qureshi, Nawazuddin Siddiquia and Yami Gautam.

It seems that too many stars in one project is what the former Miss World didn't want in her comeback film. Another major reason for her to reject the movie, was the need for her to play a grey shade. Aishwarya was supposed to essay a negative character in the film.

Therefore, the lady decided to give it a miss and now Sanjay Gupta's `Jazbaa` is the one where she will be seen making a grand re-entry on the silver screens.

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.

Humpty has a party

The popular dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 7, premiere will be a glittering extravaganza.

The show, which goes on air on June 7, will begin on a colourful note with Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and last year's contestant Siddharth Shukla making an appearance along with other contestants.

Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan perform at Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.

Siddharth is closely associated with the show, where he was a contestant in Season 6, and was spotted by film-maker Karan Johar, who gave him a chance in the rom- com Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya.

Varun, who has easily slipped into the quirkiness of the character Humpty Sharma, was at his naughtiest best on the sets of JDJ. With glamorous Alia Bhatt in tow, it was a fun-filled atmosphere on the sets. Siddharth chose to dance with Drishti Dhami, winner of Season 6, who is a co-host of the show with actor Ranvir Shorey.

Karan Johar was at his chirpiest best since three of his finds made an appearance on the show. "I feel like an excited parent. 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.

Despite being launched by Dharma Productions, Shukla will continue his association with hit shows Balika Vadhu, in which he plays Anandi's hubby. "This entire journey from Balika to Jhalak to Humpty has been a dream. I always dreamt of promoting my film through Jhalak," said Siddharth.

Actress Nargis Fakhri has chosen a purple bikini from her own collection to wear for a song sequence in the forthcoming film `Main Tera Hero`.

When the "Rockstar" actress learnt that she had to wear a bikini for a song, she was so excited about it that she insisted on wearing her personal recently bought set.
