Kajol and Kareena Kapoor in We Are Family

Kajol's latest film was just released and it seems to be doing fairly well.
It should, considering it stars two of the hottest actresses in Bollywood.
We Are Family was directed by Siddharth Malhotra, produced by Karan Johar, stars Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal and is a remake of the 1998 Hollywood film Stepmom.

In the film, Kajol plays Maya, a stay at home wife who gave up her career to raise her three children.
She has divirced her husband Aman (Arjun Rampal) and the story centers around Aman introducing his new girlfriend, Shreya (Kareena Kapoor).

Shreya is the opposite of Maya, a career oriented woman, and the situation between them takes an unexpected turn when the two women are brought together under the same roof.

Of course being a Bollywood film, it differs from it's Hollywood counterpart in that it has six songs, including a tribute to Elvis Presley's Jailhouse Rock.

We Are Family seems to be doing pretty well with the critics.

This is Kajol and Kareena's second film together, the first being 2001's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...

Kajol said that she based a lot of her character Maya on her grandmother, Bina Rai, who passed away in December of last year.

Kajol, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor and More

Kajol's much anticipated "My Name Is Khan" will be released on February 12, 2010, but the soundtrack was already released on January 4, 2010.
The music is by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, with lyrics by Niranjan Iyengar.
You can go here http://www.songs5.com/My_Name_is_Khan-2256.html to get free downloads of the film's music.
The film will be shown at the Berlin in International Film Festival from Feb 11 to 21, 2010.

I mentioned in an earlier post that beautiful Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra would be starring in the upcoming Bollywood film "Seven" as a woman that weds seven different men.
(Among those men are Malayalam superstar and National Award winner Mohanlal and Indian actor Hrithik Roshan)
But unlike "What’s Your Rashee?" where the lovely Priyanka played twelve different roles, in this one, she will only be playing one.
It seems that "What’s Your Rashee?" was enough for Priyanka, but rumors say she has said that she will never play multiple roles in her again.
Can you blame her?
That has to be VERY taxing on anyone.
"Pyaar Impossible", her last film got mixed reviews, so lets hope "Seven" does a lot better.

Kareena Kapoor will be co-starring with ShahRukh Khan in the upcoming superhero film, "Ra-1".
And Kareena will be showing up in the film not only in real life, but as an animated character as well.
Rumor also has it that as opposed to films like "The Dark Knight", the films set will be lively and brightly colored.
Hey, it may be a nice change from the constant gloom we get in super hero flicks today.

I mentioned in the last entry that Aishwarya Rai will be starring in the upcoming Sci-Fi movie Endhiran.
What I didnt mention was that this will be Aishwarya's Tamil cinema debut.
And Endhiran will most likely wind up being the most expensive film ever made in Indian cinema.
Endhiran is expected to be released on April 14, 2010.
If you'd like to keep up on how things are going with the film, you can head over to http://www.directorshankaronline.com/ and check out director S Shankar's blog.

There seems to maybe be a little tension on the set of the comedy movie "No Problem" directed by Anees Bazme.
And the tension is coming in the form, or rather forms, of Sushmita Sen, Kangna Ranaut and Neetu Chandra.
Rumor has it that Neetu and Kangna aren't getting along that well on the set.
But you have to remember, that's all it is...a rumor.
Other reports from the set said that everything was going fine, and that everyone was having fun.
This is Kangna's first comedy, and she will be playing the younger sister of Sushmita Sen.

Upcoming Kajol Movies

Now that the filming of My Name Is Khan has wrapped up, Kajol is finishing up on her next upcoming Bollywood film, an adaptation of the 1998 American comedy-drama, Stepmom.
The original starred Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon, and the Bollywood remake will star Kajol (in the role Susan Sarandon played in the original) and Kareena Kapoor (in the Julia Roberts role).
As of yet, the film is still officially not titled.

In contrast to what you hear about a lot of Bollywood actress sniping at each other, Kajol and Kareena appear to be getting along fabulously.

My Name Is Khan and the Stepmom Remake are not her only upcoming roles as Kajol will be involved in India's first Live-Action and 3D animation combination feature film, Toonpur Ka Superhero and doing a voice in the animated take on Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Koochie Koochie Hota Hain.
Shahrukh Khan, Rani Mukherji, Sanjay Dutt will also be doing voices in the film.

Here is an interview with Kajol from NDTV where she talks about working on My Name Is Khan...
