She mesmerized the audience in a flowing golden drape dress with a gold headband and waistband.

It has a different story line and concept altogether, but the look is somewhat inspired from it.”
Tanushree is very excited about the role and has already started working out for it. “I would be required to do some action sequences, although they won’t be very complicated. However, I need to train myself for that because I have never done an action sequence before that’s why I am learning martial arts,” the gal says.

Another version of ‘Devdas’ is on the way. To be directed by Sudhir Mishra and belonging to the ever-rising production house Pritish Nandy Communications, this ‘Devdas’ will have Shiney Ahuja as the lead hero and Lara Dutta as ‘Paro’.
However, the story doing rounds of Esha Deol playing ‘Chandramukhi’ is baseless as told by Pritish himself. “It’s true that Shiney Ahuja and Lara Dutta have been confirmed for the roles of Devdas and Paro. But we’re yet to cast Chandramukhi. The reports of Esha Deol being signed for the part are completely untrue.”
For the immortal role of courtesan ‘Chnadramukhi’ director Sudhir Mishra says, “I’m very keen on Soha Ali Khan. My Chandramukhi isn’t a dancer at all. She plays an investment banker. Having said that, let me tell you Soha is good dancer. Watch her in my Khoya Khoya Chand and you’ll know.”

Throughout Priyadarshan’s ‘Dhol’, the gang of four- Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Khemu, Sharman Joshi and Rajpal Yadav- is shown zooming around on bikes on the roads of Pune.
On one such occasion they were shooting on Ferguson Road where most college campuses are situated. Even after the shot was canned the boys continued riding the bikes and got caught by a policeman at the signal. Without helmets, without licences and at full speed, the traffic policeman took them to be college rowdies. Luckily for them, some production unit hands rushed to the spot and saved the heroes from further embarrassment.
When Malaika Arora Khan and Katrina Kaif walked the ramp with other models at JW Mariott hotel in Mumbai sporting Vikram Pahdnis’ designs at the event organized by Zapak.com to unveil the games and Vikram’s look, the crowds were left google-eyed with the funky creations created by Phadnis for Zapak.com.
The two girls were all praise for Vikram, who incidentally is Salman’s regular designer. Katrina said, “Among Indian designers, I love to wear Vikram’s clothes.” Malaika added, “I love wearing his designs.”
However, when Vikram was put under the spot and asked to choose between Salman’s sis-in-law and lady love, the designer was anything but funky or impractical as his designs.” They both are family, so how can I choose?” he laughed.
