Salman Khan Plays Prince Charming in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo..

Hold your breath ladies. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo's Salman Khan will make you go weak at the knees. The actor looks dashing as a royal in the pictures from the sets of the film, where he was photographed having a good time with the crew in between shoots.

Looking extremely handsome in a green kurta, with Tilak on his forehead and a golden turban which runs down his shoulder, Salman, who reportedly plays King Vijay in the film, has never been seen playing a character like this before. The actor will, apparently, be seen in a double role in this Sooraj Barjatya-directed film - the other part being that of a commoner.

Salman's look reminds us of his Hum Apke Hain Kaun and Hum Saath Saath Hain days when his soft looks and charming smile melted many a hearts. It's been a while since he's played such a role given that his kitty has been laden with action-thrillers like Kick, Jai Ho, Dabangg and Ek Tha Tiger, portraying him primarily as a badass.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo also features actress Sonam Kapoor as the princess of Salman's dreams, and will tentatively hit the screens on Diwali in 2015..

Imran Khan: No Good Roles for Indians in Hollywood

Actors like Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur may be making inroads into Hollywood, but actor Imran Khan feels that the American film industry lacks good roles for Indian actors.

"To be honest, I don't think Indian actors get good roles in Hollywood. You either get to be the hero's friend, the guy who owns the 7-Eleven (convenience store) on the corner," the 31-year-old said here Wednesday on the sidelines of the ongoing Mumbai Film Festival here.

"The truth is there are no good roles for Indians in Hollywood. I am very happy here," added the star of movies such as Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane, I Hate Luv Storys and Delhi Belly.

Anil Kapoor, who featured in a key role in Oscar-winning British film Slumdog Millionaire, was seen in a small role in Misson Impossible: Ghost Protocol and in the eighth season of American TV series 24.

Irrfan has featured in international films like A Mighty Heart, The Amazing Spider-Man and Life of Pi, while Nimrat was roped in for a part in the fourth season of the American TV series Homeland.

Others in the list are Ali Fazal, who has a cameo in Fast & Furious 7 and Arfi Lamba, who has bagged the film The Key Project with Lady Gaga and Akon.

Did Deepika Padukone defend Katrina Kaif?

Mumbai: Though we can’t say that catfights are a thing of the long past in Bollywood, the atmosphere in Tinsel Town is far more friendly, that it once used to be. Deepika Padukone is indeed ruling at the moment and following her is none other than Katrina Kaif, if we were to look at the Box Office record.

Latest reports suggest that when Deepika met the press recently for an interaction, a reporter asked her about how she deals with performance-oriented roles and “showpiece” (read: glamorous) roles. Deepika apparently did not quite get the question right and asked the reporter to specify what he meant by “showpiece” roles. The reporter then mentioned Katrina’s role in ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’.

Deepika, who is often known for being quite outspoken and vocal about what she feels, displayed her witty side by telling the reporter that according to Katrina, the ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ role demanded tremendous hard work and hence how could it be a “showpiece role”!

However, DP was quick to add that being an actress is not an easy job and that she wouldn’t be in a position to comment on other people’s work.
Well, though we are not quite sure, if that was a jibe or an answer to defend Katrina, but it is indeed good to see actresses declining space for animosity on public forums.

Aamir Khan Won't Fit in Dil Sequel, Says Director

Actor Aamir Khan made many women go weak at the knees after his hit film Dil released in 1990. But the film's director Indra Kumar says he can't cast the superstar in its sequel.

Asked if he is planning to remake any of his old films, Mr Kumar told IANS, "I will make Dil 2, but I can't cast Aamir in the film because he can't fit in that role now. Let's see who can do justice to the role."

While the project is yet to begin, the Grand Masti director says he will continue to make adult comedies.

"When I made Masti, people (from the industry) told me not to make the film and asked Are you crazy?. Then I also went ahead and made Grand Masti which again worked. For me, audience is important and I will make these kind of films," he said.

Mr Kumar roped in Bollywood's ageless beauty Rekha for his new film Super Nani and says the script convinced the actress to do the film.

"I didn't convince Rekha. She loved the script and the script convinced her to do the film. When you will see the film, you will know how hard she has worked for it," he said.
