Paiya, the pot of gold for Bollywood

Gajini, Ready, Bodyguard, Singham, Wanted… films that have been southremakes have created Bollywood history that can never be repeated as superhitsfor stars like Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan. Even currently, thetrend is in full flow with Kick that stars Salman Khan, and Maryada Ramanna isSon of Sardar that stars Ajay Devgan being talked about already. 
But  there is one film that seems to have been missed by Bollywoodstars. And that is Paiya, another potential pot of gold for Bollywood with lovefrom the South. The reason  the film seems to not be taken so far isbecause director Linguswamy was waiting for Surya to play the lead in the Hindiversion. However, since Surya is still neck-deep with his Tamil assignments(Singham, Gajini are but a few of his earlier film remakes),  Linguswamyhas moved on to do four Tamil films with UTV. 
So who will be the star who will grab Paiya the superhit that grossedover 50 crore business in Tamil with 20 crore overseas and over 20 crore forits Telugu version Awaara?

Is Sunny Leone scaring offBollywood actors and producers already?

After being evicted from Bigg Boss, pornstar Sunny Leonetargeted contestant Amar Upadhyay, alleging that he kissed her hand and pickedher up against her wishes, while carrying out fun tasks assigned to Housemateson the reality show. 
In an interview to a prominent newspaper, the pornstar from Canada mounteda scathing attack on the Indian actor and claimed, “It's the first time in myentire career that I've had to tell a man (Amar) more than once not to be acertain way. That's why I didn't exactly know how to handle the situation as itwas coming, other than talking to him as an adult. In my real life, no onecomes near me or no one even tries to get fresh or do anything – it just doesn'thappen.” 
Amar Upadhyay’s publicist Dale Bhagwagar clarified that theactor’s ‘acts’ of kissing Leone on her hand or picking her up during a raindance on the show, “were strictly part of the ‘entertainment tasks’ given tothe Housemates on Bigg Boss.” 
Replying to Sunny’s bizarre claims, he said, “Sunny Leone arespected pornstar! She should be careful before uttering such words against afamily man and an actor who has been admired and adored on Indian televisionfor his role of the righteous Mihir Virani in Kyonki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi,which even propelled him as a superstar on television with a huge fan following.” 
“Sunny is planning to enter Bollywood. Showing suchdisrespect for a family man and massacring the reputation of an Indian actoreven before she officially signs her first Bollywood movie, could reflect badlyon her and scare off most reputed Indian actors and producers,” the publicistpointed out. 
Indeed, Sunny seems to have committed professionalhara-kiri. Indiais a country of great morality and culture and this frivolous accusation couldmake her career in Bollywood an uphill task now. 
It can be noted here that Bigg Boss co-host Sanjay Dutt, whohad rightfully come to Amar’s support during one of the elimination rounds earlier,was said to be planning to work with Sunny. But the rumours have been denied. Quoting a source, a prominent newspaper clarified, “Sanju wouldn’t becomfortable working with Leone and has no interest in signing her onwhatsoever.” 
The other Bigg Boss co-host Salman Khan, who was said to beconsidering Sunny for a film, hasn’t announced anything; while Mahesh Bhatt isyet to officially sign her for Jism 2, a movie he discussed with her onentering the Bigg Boss House as a guest last month.

When Akshaye Khanna played A Part Time Hanuman in Gali Gali Chor Hai

I had never seen a Ramlila being performedlive, and neither have I been on stage as an actor. So it was great fun for meto slip into the costume, get a monkey face, wear a mukut (crown) and a tail,say my lines in the most dramatic way possible, and have the audience clappingand cheering,” says Akshaye.
 Elaborating about his part in the filmAkshaye says that he plays a cashier whose hobby is acting, the reason he ispart of the Ramlila.
“My character worked very hard forseveral years to land the part of Hanuman as Ramlila is a very big event, andit’s very prestigious for an actor living in small towns to bag a part in it.My playing Hanuman is the sub-plot in the film,” he adds.
The Ramlila sequence in the film wasshot over four days at the famous Iqbal Maidan in Bhopal and the locals werecalled in to be part of the crowd. GGHC is directed by Rumy Jafferi and alsostars Mugdha Godse and Shriya Saran. It releases on February 3 2012.
