Here comes the comic...Aamir khan

After a slate of serious, romantic and message driven films, Aamir Khan is all set to produce and also act in an out and out comedy to be written and directed by Neeraj Vora. Most of Aamir’s comedies have been big hits and from long time his fans have been dying to see him do a comic role again.

According to the reliable sources, ”Neeraj Vora who has written super hit comedies right from RANGEELA to HERA PHERI and directed PHIR HERA PHERI is an old friend of Aamir Khan. He had recently approached Aamir with a comedy script. And so impressed was Aamir on hearing about the script & his role in the film that he immediately volunteered to produce it under his banner. Vora was left speechless with joy as he had never expected such a thing coming from Mr. Perfectionist for him.”

Not many are aware that the recent Tata Sky commercial where Aamir has dressed up partially as a male and partially as female is directed by Neeraj. Their association goes long back for more than a decade now. Neeraj had even acted as Aamir’s best friend in MANN. Neeraj who directed two films till date, Akshay Kumar starrer KHILADI 420 and HERA PHERI sequel PHIR HERA PHERI is presently working on FAMILYWALA starring Arjun Rampal and Dia Mirza and Anil Kapoor’s home production SHORTKUT - THE CON IS ON starring Akshaye Khanna, Amrita Rao and Arshad Warsi. His Aamir starrer will most probably go on floors in early 2010.

Presently three of Aamir Khan Productions’ films are underway. Starting with DELHI BELLY starring nephew Imran Khan, DHOBI GHAT being directed by his wife Kiran Rao starring Prateik Babbar and a film on farmer suicides starring Aamir himself and Raghuveer Yadav alongside

Chal Chala Chal

Cast: Govinda, Murli Sharma, Reema Sen, Rajpal Yadav, Om Puri, Asrani, Manoj Joshi,
Direction: Rajiv Kumar

Yeh Sab Kya Hai? Patha Nahi…. Govinda, once a stupendous actor who carried off his audiences with colossal performances has jumped on ill-sorted grounds. Alas! What makes him do that? Lack of offers and you've got to shoot this out on Govinda. Often, we boast with prideful spirits 'Yeah! It's changing phase of Bollywood' and at many times our elatedness are shattered watching such pieces of works.

To start off with Chal Chala Chal, you would get perplexed about an auteur can coming up with such brainless script. Well; it's been so illustrious in the past where films with no such thing called 'A perfect script' have topped-the-charts. Reason - a stupefying screenplay when blended with commercial attributes makes it appealing. It's all about 'Garnishing', 'embellishing' or whatever you say?

Chandni Chowk To China, the first ever Bollywood Kungfu comedy takes you on a madcap Journey from the by-lanes of Chandni Chowk in Delhi, to Shanghai, the Great Wall and rural China, marrying in its wake hilarious gags, breathtaking action, spectacular locations, and heart stirring emotions.

Our protagonist Sidhu (Akshay Kumar) is the lowest on the totem pole, cutting vegetables at a roadside food stall in Chandni Chowk in Delhi. He longs to escape his dreary existence and looks for shortcuts- with astrologers, tarot readers and fake fakirs - believing anything except himself, despite his father figure Dada's (Mithun Chakraborty) best efforts. His redeeming moment arrives when two strangers from China claim him as a reincarnation of a war hero in the past and takes him to China. Sidhu now dreams of wine, women, and a princely existence in foreign lands. Thanks to the devious translator, a conman by the name Chopstick (Ranvir Shorey), little does he know that he is being taken to the Promised Land to rid the Chinese village of the vicious smuggler Hojo (Gordon Liu)!

Therefore, Sidhu blissfully sets forth to China with Chopstick who instigates dreams of a delicious future and forgets to reveal the perils, which await him. Along the way, he meets Sakhi (Deepika Padukone), Ms. Tele Shoppers Media (Ms. TSM) who has embarked on a journey to pay homage to the land of her birth and her dead father and twin. Initially, Sidhu through a series of lucky coincidences manages to sidestep being beaten by Hojo's men but finally Hojo catches up with him and exposes him as the country buffoon that he really is. Sidhu has the fire of revenge in his belly and finds the one man who will make him a Kungfu expert and set the village free. Armed with his Sifu (master), faith in himself and the love of the fair Sakhi, Sidhu sets forth to conquer all.

Shahrukh's House Attacked

Two unidentified men allegedly attacked Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan's bungalow Mannat in the wee hours of Friday morning. The motorcycle-borne miscreants hurled kerosene filled bottles near the gates of Mannat and fled from the scene. The security men at Mannat gave the miscreants a chase but could not get hold of them.

Shahrukh Khan was not at home during the incident none of the occupants of the bungalow including the security men sustained any injuries. The Deputy Commissioner of Police said that they were clueless about the miscreants as the guard could not take down the number of the motorcycle. He added that a formal complaint has been registered and further investigations are on.

Incidentally this happened on a day when his home production Billu is releasing across the country. Although the motive of the miscreants is yet to be known it may be mentioned that Shahrukh Khan had recently voiced his support for Valentine's Day celebration. So the incident happening a day ahead of February 14 may not be a mere con-incidence.
