Dhoom 3 - Bollywood Movie 2012 delayed? (India)

According to Times of India's Report, Aamir Khan is leaving no stone unturned to make sure that Dhoom 3 is a success.

He's taking pains to make sure his character - an extremely fit and agile man - looks the part. However, his enthusiasm and dedication, has delayed the project. The unit was supposed to go on an outdoor schedule to New York in 2012, but now, it has been pushed back to early 2013.

Apparently, Aamir wants to take more time to work on his physique. A source reveals, "He wants to make sure he looks his best and is spending extra time to get in shape. As a result, he has asked the production house to push back the US schedule by a few months."

Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor: When is the wedding really? (India)

Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor: When is the wedding really? (India)

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor may not be free to wed until the second half of 2012.

That they will marry in 2012 is a given-in. Kareena and Saif have reiterated this right through 2011. However, February 14, 2012 (Valentine's Day), the date on which Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor were meant to be marrying, doesn't seem like a probable date.

Reason - here's how the first six months of 2012 pans out for this couple...

January 15 they return from Gstaad, Switzerland.

January 18 Kareena starts to promote Ek Main aur Ekk Tu and shoot for her commercials.

February 11 EMAET releases.

February 14 Saif and Kareena at best can get officially engaged, say sources.

February 20 Second major schedule of Heroine begins.

March 10 Saifeena start promoting Agent Vinod that is currently scheduled for a March 23 release. The film's release has already been postponed twice until now.

April 2012 Kareena may take up a new film. While many say she is in the sequel to Once Upon A Time in Mumbai; insiders say nothing is confirmed. However, Rohit Shetty is keen to start his Chennai Express with her and Shah Rukh Khan.

May 2012 Kareena, Rani Mukherji and Aamir Khan start promotion tours for their June 1 release Talaash.
So it looks like Saifeena can marry only after June 1. Incidentally, it is being said that neither Karan Johar nor Aamir Khan are keen that Bebo gets married before the release of their movies. It may just take away the sheen from their respective films.

"Married heroines are welcome in the industry; but a heroine getting married just before the release is a 'no-no'," says a trade source.

Bollywood Star - Shah Rukh Khan to Visit Patna 22 Dec 2011 (India)

Bollywood Star - Shah Rukh Khan to Visit Patna 22 Dec 2011 (India)

According to related posts, Shah Rukh Khan, who had to cancel his “Don 2 – The King Is Back” promotional trip to Patna for security reasons, will reportedly visit the Bihar capital Thursday. Filmmaker Prakash Jha says he takes the responsibility of security arrangements.

Last week, (December 13) SRK had to cancel his trip to Patna at the last minute and it left thousands of his fans bitterly disappointed. Patna District Magistrate Sanjay Kumar Singh says the information about security threat to SRK during Patna visit came from Prakash Jha’s multiplex Cinepolis, which is part of the Patna mall owned by him.

Efforts are now on to pinpoint the personnel at Cinepolis who misinformed Shah Rukh’s entourage regarding the security arrangements.

A source close to SRK’s entourage said: “This time we can’t afford any glitches. We don’t know why we were stopped from visiting Patna last week. But Shah Rukh is very keen not to disappoint his Patna fans.”

“He’s accommodated Patna into his tight schedule and he’ll be flying down from Lucknow to Patna on Thursday. This time we aren’t taking any risks. Yes, Shah Rukh won’t be meeting his fans at Mr Prakash Jha’s mall. The venue is being changed.”

Jha is very upset with the mega-star’s aborted visit to Bihar’s capital and says he’s willing to take personal charge of the security when SRK visits Patna this week.

“I feel outraged on a personal level and as a man from Bihar who has been trying to improve Bihar’s image in Bollywood. So many stars from Mumbai, including Bachchan Saab (Amitabh Bachchan), have been to Patna. I can’t understand why the security arrangements couldn’t be good enough,” said Jha angrily.

He added that the official organisers of Shah Rukh’s visit should have given the administration more time to prepare for the visit.

“The mall takes full responsibility for Shah Rukh’s security. I’d like him to know that during his visit to Patna his safety is my responsibility,” Jha said.
