Bollywood to Hollywood?

Bollywood actresses seem to be getting more and more attention worldwide.
And since they are getting attention, that gets the notice of Hollywood.
Here are some of the big Bollywood actresses that are either thinking about going to Hollywood, have already gone there, or are rumored to be going there.
By the way, in a reversal of this, Twilight star Kristen Stewart is not going to Bollywood to star in Panni as was earlier rumored.

It seems there was a battle heating up between Slumdog Millionaire's Freida Pinto and former Miss World and India's most successful actress Aishwarya Rai.
Rumor had it that both were being considered for the Bond girl in the next James Bond film.
But this battle may all be for naught, as the next Bond film has been suspended indefinitely and has been shelved.
The sequel (so far only known as Bond 23) was scheduled for release in late 2011 or in 2012 to coincide with the franchise's 50th anniversary.
Eon Productions' parent company MGM is in a financial mess right now, so we may never know if Ash or Freida would have won out.

But all is not lost in Hollywood for Bollywood.
British-born Indian actress Jiah Khan maybe headed to Tinsel Town.
It's rumored that Jiah may be involved in two international projects based out of Hollywood.

A Bollywood actresses that has been spending a lot of time in Hollywood, Mallika Sherawat, has gotten another feather in her cap in the US.
She recently won the the 2008 Renaissance Artist Award at the Multicultural Motion Picture Association’s Diversity Awards.
In the past, actresses like Salma Hayek, Halle Berry, and Monica Belluci have won the award.
After this, starring in Hisss, Love, Barack and getting a Honorary Citizenship in Los Angeles, I wonder if Mallika will ever return to India?

Katrina Kaif News and Upcoming Bollywood Movies

A whole bunch of Katrina Kaif news today.....

First up, Katrina will be doing her first "bad guy" role in the upcoming Bollywood film, Tees Maar Khan.
Katrina is said to be studying Meryl Streep’s role in The Devil Wears Prada for inspiration.
To say this is a change of pace for Katrina would be an understatement, as she is known for her sweet innocent roles.
Tees Maar Khan also stars Akshay Kumar and Akshay Khanna, and is set for a December 2010 release.
You can visit the film's official website here:
http://www.teesmaarkhan.in/

And before Tees Maar Khan hits the screens, the political thriller Raajneeti will be released, starring Ajay Devgan, Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor and Arjun Rampal.

Raajneeti was written, directed, and produced by Prakash Jha, and is based on the"Mahabharat".

It will be released on June 4th, 2010 and here is the official trailer for the film:



And there are several articles coming out saying that Katrina was the most searched for Bollywood actress in 2009.
I havent seen anything official yet from Google, but thanks to Katrina's popualrity, I wouldnt doubt it.
I did a quick search myself and came up with over six million hits for the Bollywood beauty just last month.
There are also rumors that she is more popular in Pakistan than in India.

Katrina told PTI that she is considering getting married in two years.
She is currently dating Salman Khan and before this, she has avoided any comments on when she might be settling down.
But two years is still a while away.

And finally, Katrina launched the diamond jewellery brand Nakshatra Vivaah's collection last week.
Katrina said at the event:
"Diamonds are a unique gemstone, and have a very special place in the hearts of most Indian women. And the much loved floral pattern that inspires the designs in this collection adds both beauty and good luck. I believe that every Indian bride would really love to have jewellery set like this for her special day."

She made her big screen debut in the Bollywood film, Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, directed by Sudhir Mishra.
Interestingly, the film was made in 2003, but was released in 2005.
Although the film didn't do well at the box office, the critics called it "a masterpiece and one of the best movies of the year".

Chitrangada released another film, Kal: Yesterday and Tomorrow in 2005, then took a break from acting.

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...

Bollywood Actresses News - Preity Zinta, Katrina Kaif and More

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has enrolled at Harvard Business School, a graduate business school in Boston, Massachusetts, and will be studying negotiating and deal-making.
It sounds like the lovely Preity is planning for her life after acting.
Or maybe she just wants to make more of an impact know in the Bollywood scene.
HBS was ranked number one among American business schools by the U.S. News & World Report, so she is in good hands.

Beautiful Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif was almost involved in a riot when she showed up to promote her film Azab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani in Hyderabad.
She appeared at a shopping mall and a huge crowd of her fans showed up to see her, things got outta hand and Katrina made a run for it, reportedly injuring her leg.
But the fans werent put off that easily, and kept chasing her by car and bicycle.
They should have been ready for this though, because it happened to her last year in Hyderabad.
Maybe more security next time?

If you run across Sameera Reddy's profile on a dating site, it isn't her.
Sameera is just one of many Bollywood actresses that have fallen prey recently to Internet hoaxes.
Like Sammera would need a dating site.
Riiiight.

Recently, Asin's online e-mail ID was hacked, and someone has been impersonating Katrina Kaif online as well.
Sonam Kapoor's Facebook account was also hacked and private pictures were stolen.
Katrina (will her online problems ever end?), Freida Pinto and Asin (again) have also had to deal with people setting up fake Twitter accounts.

On the other hand, the REAL Priyanka Chopra is still doing very well with 81,588 followers.
And the real Mallika Sherawat is still trailing her with a very respectable 24,322 followers.

Isha Koppikar (Eesha Koppikhar) is getting married on November 26th to Timmy Narang,
But before that, she will be filming an item number for Neeraj Pathak film, Right Yaa Wrong.
She'll also be finishing up Hello Darling before the wedding.

Priyanka Chopra in What's Your Raashee?

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra's new movie "What's Your Raashee?"comes out today and the critics seem to like it except for one thing.
It's three and a half hours long.

In the film Priyanka gets a role that would make Jim Carrey or Eddie Murphy proud, she gets to play twelve different characters.

The film is a romantic comedy (the first) from director Ashutosh Gowariker.
He also directed the award winning films Lagaan, Swades and Jodhaa Akbar.
But to maintain interest for over three hours is quite a feat as a lot of directors have found out the hard way.

The films plot is a Chicagoan (Harman Baweja) returns home to Mumbai and has ten days to find a wife and get his Grandfather's inheritance.
He interviews twelve women (all played by Priyanka) each with a different astrological sign (raashee) and each with their own unique personality which gives Priyanka time to show off her acting abilities.

I understand the length of the movie.
Cutting it down to say 2 hours would have lost a lot of story.
Ashutosh couldn't very well have taken the film and pulled a Quentin Tarantino making "What's Your Raashee" Part 1 and Part 2 ala "Kill Bill".
So I think the movie had to pretty much be made the way it was.

Now, will the audiences feel the same way?
