‘Chance Pe Dance’ is the forthcoming film from director Ken Ghosh being made under the banner of UTV Motion pictures. The film was earlier titled ‘Star’ and ‘Yahoo’ before getting its final title. It stars Shahid Kapoor and Genelia D’ Souza in the lead roles.

The movie is based on story of a young and talented Sameer who is struggling to get a break in the industry and in the due course he meets Tina who is a choreographer.

Sameer starts living in his old car when he is thrown out of his house as he is unable to pay the rent. He starts teaching dance in a school to young kids. Unfortunately, where he hates kids, these kids hate dancing.

However, slowly Sam not only emotionally bonds with the kids, but also helps them win a prestigious inter-school dance competition and gets their confidence back. Tina is always his support who also helps him enter the reality talent hunt, where he wins and finally becomes a superstar.

Salman Khan cold to Shahid and warm to Rani

Salman Khan is one actor in Bollywood who is known to have more enemies than friends. His list of foes is a long one including big stars like SRK and Salman Khan. Sallu Bhai also shares cold vibes with Shahid Kapoor which has its roots to their fights during the Rockstar tour a few years back.

Salman is not the one to bury the hatchets easily. So, when Shahid and Rani Mukherjee appeared on his show ‘Dus Ka Dum’ to promote their upcoming film, ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’, Salman was seen being dry and indifferent to Shahid.

Salman was very warm and comfortable with Rani Mukherjee and kept on hugging her, but he welcomed Shahid with a dry ‘Hi’ and was cold to him during the entire show. The show will be aired on September 12.

The thought is whether it was professional on Salman’s part to cold shoulder a celebrity guest on his show?

Rani & Shahid promote ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’ on TV

Rani Mukherjee will be back on silver screen with ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’ after a long time, her last being ‘Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic’. She has taken special efforts in getting a toned body and flaunting it in a bikini. Nevertheless, she is taking keen interest in promoting the film along with her co-star Shahid Kapoor who is on a high these days post his success of ‘Kaminey’.

The duo was seen as special guests on the grand finale of the reality show ‘India’s Got Talent’ on 22nd August on Colors. Shahid awarded the trophy to The Prince Dance group who was declared the winner of this reality show after several relatives and friends of the group, apart from state Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, corporate houses and social activists joined hands to vote en masse for them. They got a staggering Rs.50 lakhs (Rs.5 million) in cash and a swish newly-launched Maruti Suzuki Ritz car as the reward. The group, comprising 26 artistes, all below 22 years of age, spellbound everyone with their act, which was based on episodes from the Mahabharata.

The episode saw Shahid and Rani enjoying the performances and bonding well with the judges Sonali Bendre, Kirron Kher and filmmaker Shekhar Kapoor.

Sensational Shahid and Priyanka on ‘Cineblitz’

How sensuous can a pair get? Check out the latest issue of ‘Cineblitz’ to get an answer to this question. The issue has stunning shots of Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra oozing loads of sensuality and intimacy. The pair is awaiting eagerly for the release of ‘Kaminey’. While the gossip columns are painted red with their so-called romantic linkup, the couple is yet to disclose the truth behind these rumors.

Meanwhile, Shahid opens up in the issue saying that he has had a very public breakup and is definitely not in a mood to make his relationships public any further. The issue also has some candid talks with Shruti Hassan and Irrfan Khan.

‘Kaminey’ - The countdown begins

Set to release on 14th of August, ‘Kaminey’ is by far the most awaited release at present. The film has Shahid Kapoor in a double role for the first time.

In the greyer shade, Shahid plays the character of Charlie, sharp, wily and despisable who makes his living by betting at the race course. As Judd, Shahid portrays the character of a trainee in an NGO firm and is honest, diligent and careful. Priyanka Chopra plays young, pretty and fiery Sweety Shekhar Bhope.

Charlie & Guddu are twins who can’t stand the sight of each other. However, fate brings the two brothers together and what follows is their struggle through the world of drugs, guns and money dealing with gangsters, rebel soldiers, rogue politicians and crooked cops. It is this struggle which makes them realize the importance of each other in their lives.

Priyanka Chopra still bonding with Shahid Kapoor

Dressed in a chic short outfit, her shapely legs adorned in a pair of stilettos, the actress makes a high-profile entry with an entourage.

There’s a PR man dressed in a suit, a valet holding her clothes on a hanger, her hair-dresser, her secretary and a marketing executive from a film corporation. It’s a melee. Also every detail of this meeting with the actress has been worked out with precision. “My days are always like this,’’ warns the 26-year-old laughing. “If you waste time, you may just have to drive with me to my next appointment.’’ Without much ado, we ask:

You’ve received ten awards in six months, many of them international honours...
I can’t tell you how exciting it has been. While awards like Filmfare have come for my film Fashion, there have been honours like the Jin Jue Award at Shanghai and the Nielson Box Office Award (Outstanding contribution to Asian Cinema) that have also made me proud.

You have three releases lined up now. Are you nervous?
Extremely nervous! Kaminey is a film where I play a middle-class Marathi mulgi; then there’s What’s Your Rashee where I play 12 characters. And I have Pyaar Impossible with Uday Chopra.

Are you miffed with Ashutosh Gowarikar for his remark against you at a film awards function?
I wouldn’t like to give it any importance. I’m a girl to whom nothing matters more than my film. I would rather see the bigger picture than hold grudges. After the incident, he and I were on set and we were perfectly fine.

What’s with you and your co-stars — Shahid Kapoor, Hurman Baweja and Uday Chopra. Are you talking/sulking with them? Sometime ago it was suggested that you were dating Shahid...
Who says we’re not talking? Of course, Shahid and I are talking. I will not tell you whether I’m dating him. I’m also on talking terms with Hurman. For God’s sake — he is my co-star. And, Uday and I can’t stop talking.
