Ravi Teja and Ileana would be seen together again after Khatarnak in the Kick, the film is a high budget film with a Rs20cr budget and the producers are hoping the film would do great with the presence of the hit pair of Ravi Teja and Ileana.

Kick again would be the usual Ravi Teja mass entertainer, with mass elements, foot tapping music, and super fast comedy. Ileana would bring up the glamour element.

Audience expectation would be again to see Brahmanandam to be pairing with Ravi Teja for the comic elements, an item song with a Mumbai based model is also on the cards for the film. Let us all wish Ravi Teja and the rest of the unit of the film a grand success.

Tom Cruise may be sued for copying

3.1.09




New York, Jan 03: American actor Tom Cruise could end up being sued by a San Francisco advertising executive for using a replica of Adolf Hitler`s globe in his movie ‘Valkyrie’.

Robert Pritikin owns several of Hitler’s artefacts, including the notorious globe, which the Fuehrer used to plan U-boat attacks from his compound in the Bavarian Alps.

Pritikin, who had bought Hitler’s globe in 2007 for 100,000 dollars, decided to take legal action after he saw a copied version of the globe in Cruise’s movie.

“Pritikin believes the globe should be used as a teaching tool so the lessons of Hitler`s nightmare can keep history from repeating itself,” a news daily quoted investigator Paul Barresi, who was retained to look into the copying of the globe, as saying.

Dan Hanks who was retained along with Barresi said that he hoped the matter was settled out of court.

“Tom Cruise`s use of the globe`s likeness without our client`s permission was likely just an oversight. We`re confident this will all be quickly resolved out of court,” Hanks said.

Pritikin, who recently put the Hitler items up for sale through businessman Peter Marino, hopes that Cruise may buy them.

“I think it would be a wonderful gesture of good will on Tom Cruise`s part to purchase the globe along with all of the other Hitler artefacts owned by Mr. Pritikin and donate them to the Wiesenthal Centre,” Barresi stated.

Hanks added: “It would be a hell of a way for Tom Cruise to save the day for United Artists and be a real-life hero.”

Representatives for Cruise and United Artists were unavailable for comments on the issue.

Anushka - "I just love watching Shah Rukh Khan"




New Delhi, Jan 3 (IANS) It was love at first sight for both Deepika Padukone and Anushka Sharma when the then school-going girls watched Shah Rukh Khan win hearts in "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge". But not even in their wildest dreams did they think that they would star opposite the superstar in their maiden ventures.

Hailing from Bangalore, both the model-turned-actresses have been self-proclaimed Shah Rukh fans since childhood and have grown up watching almost all his films.

Deepika's and Anushka's entry into Bollywood came as a pleasant surprise and pushed their big-screen careers on a high as their debut films - "Om Shanti Om" (2007) and "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" (2008) respectively - hit the bull's eye, courtesy their co-star Shah Rukh Khan.

"Initially, I was very nervous about working with him. But Shah Rukh made it very comfortable for me. We did readings together; we met socially so that we were comfortable when we faced the camera. He's someone I grew up watching," 22-year-old Deepika had told IANS in an earlier interview.

Said 19-year old Anushka: "I never had the intention to be an actress. It happened out of luck and I consider myself very fortunate to be part of such a big banner (Yash Raj Films) in my debut film and to be working with a star like Shah Rukh."

Her favourite films also include "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" and "Chak De! India".

Considering the age difference between him and Deepika, Shah Rukh also aired a joke in the media before the release of "Om Shanti Om" about his fear of being called "uncle" by his co-star on the film sets.

Though the age difference between him and his co-stars was big, it was hardly a deterrent in the success of the two. The audiences and critics were generous with their applause for the on-screen chemistry between the 40-plus actor and the young girls - Deepika and Anushka.

Shah Rukh's humorous take on his affection for younger co-stars was also seen in the media.

"I have so much love for Kareena, Deepika, Priyanka and Anushka. They tell me that I am the youngest hero they have worked with. In fact, they say I am younger than the young guys. I work with these young girls without any ulterior motives of seducing them.

"Priyanka still does not call me by my name. I had crowned her at a beauty pageant. She says 'Sir' or just begins the conversation without taking my name. Nobody calls me uncle except Sushmita, she tells me I'm very old," Shah Rukh said.

However, his celebrity fan following doesn't end here. Telugu actress Seiya, who hit stardom with her debut film "Neninthe" last year, is another self-confessed diehard fan of Shah Rukh.

Having already watched "Rab Ne..." thrice, the 20-year-old has now expressed her desire to act with the iconic actor as Anushka has done.

"I just love watching Shah Rukh Khan and his riveting performance. I would love to be in the shoes of Anushka, who's had a dream debut," she was quoted as saying.

Other model-turned-actresses who made their debut opposite Shah Rukh are Mahima Chaudhary in "Pardes" (1997), Preity Zinta in "Dil Se" (1998) and Gayatri Joshi in Ashutosh Gowariker's "Swades" (2004).
