Ek main aur ekk tu -- on Kareena and Imran



Ask Imran Khan his strongest memory while shooting in Las Vegas for Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu is and you get a shocked expression.
Reason, a very funny and shocking incident that happened to the unit while shooting in Las Vegas.
Entire unit decided to go to strip club for some fun after a long day of shooting. Imran Khan went along too to give company and since he had never been to a strip club in Las Vegas before and the idea sounded quite exciting.
Says a source," After a long tiring day of shooting, someone on the sets suggested to go to a strip club since soon they were supposed to return to Mumbai after finishing the schedule of Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu. Everyone thought it would be fun and a different experience all together. Later when they all left from the strip club, Imran realised that they were being followed and had been followed all the way to the hotel."
Apparently, a young pole dancer found Imran Khan so cute that she decided to follow him all the way to the hotel. Sometime after reaching the hotel, the hotel authorities informed Imran about a young girl wanting to meet him.
Imran was quite shocked that the girl from a stripclub had followed him. Infact, next day when they began shooting she landed on the sets too.
And when she found out that Imran is a star in India, she insisted that she wanted a picture with him. Sources say that only after she got a pic from Imran did she decided to leave the sets.

Ek Deewana Tha Story on AR.Rahman and Prateik

It seems like music maestro AR Rahman’s good luck is rubbing off on to Prateik too.How else would you explain the actor’s reluctance to part with Rahman’s film trophy, insisting that it’s a good-luck charm for him?
The story goes like this: during Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008), Prateik had gone on to win a number of Best Newcomer awards. But since Rahman wasn’t present at the dos to receive his own trophies, and Aamir doesn’t attend award functions on principle, Prateik ended up collecting all their trophies.
“Later, of course, he handed them over to the rightful winners. Though, he didn’t manage to give Rahman one of his awards, because they didn’t meet after the film released,” says the insider from the entourage.
On Wednesday, when the Dhobi Ghat (2010) actor met Rahman at the Taj Mahal, Agra, for the music release function of Ek Deewana Tha, he was carrying the trophy with him. But even before Prateik handed over the trophy to Rahman, the actor told the maestro that his trophy was a good luck charm, as things had been going really well for him ever since it came into his possession.
“Rahman then said that Prateik could keep it,” reveals the insider. When contacted, Prateik — who plays the male lead opposite British model-actor Amy Jackson in the film — says, “I feel extremely blessed to work in a film, which features the work of a maestro like Rahman. I have learnt so much from him, and he is really an inspiration.”
