Salman:Bye Bye Accent

Salman’s characteristic feature is his strange accent. He is always seen talking in a strange accent, which he flaunted to the fullest on his game show Dus Ka Dum.

However Salman is all set to say goodbye to his accent, for his upcoming flick Dabang, where he plays a North Indian cop.

Brother Sohail says, Salman plays a corrupt police officer based in the Northwho loves to mouth loud dialogues in northern accent. For the first time he will play a negative role. He has never played such a role before.”

Designer Ashley Rebello, will be designing Salman’s clothes for Dabang, she says,“Salman will sport an altogether different look in ‘Dabang’. He plays a cop but is dressed in civilian clothing most of the time. Salman is clad in simple clothes throughout the film. Trousers, shirts and no much of body or bicep show from the superstar. He won’t look fashionable as he always does. It’s nowhere close to ‘Wanted’ or even ‘Garv’. Arbaaz, on the contrary, will sport Indian kurtas, while Sonakshi Sinha will wear Indian saris, ghagra- cholis and a lot of Indian outfits.”

The flick also stars Arbaaz Khan and Sonakshi Sinha, daughter of Shatrugan Sinha.

Folks do you like Salman with the accent or without the accent?

Shahid Kapoor Gets Six-Pack Abs

It’s the era of Greek Gods… First it was just Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt or Hrithik Roshan who sported wash-board abs and pumped up chest and muscles… Then it was cute Shahrukh who went for 8-pack, and then the charming Aamir for 8-packs, suave Saif and now it’s the turn of sweet Shahid to opt for a chiseled body.

Shahid, who is proud of his body, says, “I won’t recommend that guys try to maintain a six-pack or a eight-pack all through the year… because it is tough, believe me. I’m inherently drawn to fitness. For me working out is a lifestyle. When Vishal Bharadwaj suggested that I get a tough look for Kaminey and Ken Ghosh said I should try and get eight-pack abs for a song in Chance Pe Dance, I had a goal to work towards. Of course, Kaminey is different from Chance Pe Dance so I have a different body-type is both films.’’

8 packs didn’t come easy for Shahid, he had to completely alter his lifestyle. First he cut down on sugar and gradually introduced himself to slow-acting carbohydrates. Oats and brown rice became a regular at his dining table. And he ate his six meals a day at intervals of two-and-a-half hours, religiously. “I also worked out extensively, despite gruelling shooting schedules, even it meant hitting the gym at 2 am,’’ reveals the actor of his fitness fundas. His high-intensity workout was a combination of parkour and weights, plus cardio-circuit training.

“Maintaining a six-pack is tough. Instead, follow a regular fitness regime and make sure you stay in shape, rather than aim for a six-pack. The sacrifices required to make a body like the one I have in Chance Pe Dance are immense. I would rather eat healthy and stay fit than try to flaunt a dream body all thetime,” he adds.

Hard work pays Shahid… Keep it up!

SRK to build a cricket stadium

Shahrukh Khan is not bothered about the Dubai low down, he is looking forward to build a stadium in Dubai.

SRK’s main aim behind building a state of the art stadium in Dubai is to help underprivileged cricket players, who are extremely talented but do not have much money to fund their dreams. SRK’s stadium will provide free coaching to all the upcoming cricketers.

A source says, “When operational, the ground will have all the facilities to host international cricket matches and even other global sporting events. SRK is a dearly loved Indian star in the country and this is his way of giving it back to them. He will frequent the place more often than what he used to. The place might also become a venue for his stage shows in that land.”

All the best SRK.

Big B launches Om Puri’s Unlikely Hero

Om Puri’s controversial biography – Unlikely Hero written by his wife Nandita was unveiled by Amitabh Bachchan recently. The book reveals everything about Om’s life including his sexual encounters.

Om Puri was recently angry with his wife Nandita for highlighting only his sexual encounters in the book.

Talking about the controversy Nandita said, “The book is about Om, the man and the actor. Om has all the human foibles, just like all of us. He had sex as an adolescent with his maid and then he had a long liaison with the other lady who was also a maid. This was his way of coming out of his other relationships and demolishing class differences. If Om has any objection to her being called a maid he’s just being unrealistic.”

The book highlights the ups and downs of Om Puri’s life.
