Total Siyapaa Will Woo Both Indians And Pakistanis..........!



Neeraj Pandey, who is producing Total Siyapaa, starring Ali Zafar and Yami Gautam, in the lead roles, is hoping to release the film in Pakistan. 

A source close to the production house reveals that "the film is set in London and has a hilarious take on how a Pakistani-Punjabi boy (played by Ali) goes to meet the girl's Indian-Punjabi family, and the chaos that follows thereafter.

Therefore, Neeraj believes that the film will have quite a connect with the audience in Pakistan as well." Of course, Bollywood films and its film stars are tremendously popular there. 

The source adds that Ali, who is Pakistani, might help with the same. The source says, "The actor is working towards helping the makers release the film in Pakistan and facilitate the needful. This has been an immense aid to the makers. They are trying their best to have a release, especially considering the huge fan following that Ali has in Pakistan." 

When contacted, Neeraj confirms the news saying, "We are planning to release and promote the film in Pakistan."




Pakistani singer-turned-actor Ali Zafar, who is gearing up for his next Bollywood venture Total Siyapaa, says the audiences in his home country as well as India are going to relish and cherish the romantic comedy.

"Whenever we talk about India and Pakistan, people get very sensitive, but this film has balanced it in a very light way. Every person in Pakistan will enjoy the film as much as people in India. The film will bring people closer," Ali told reporters at the Total Siyapaa trailer launch.

Directed by E. Nivas and written by Neeraj Pandey, Total Siyapaa is the love story of a Pakistani guy (Ali) and an Indian girl, played by Yami Gautam who made her debut in Hindi films with Vicky Donor.

In the film, there is a scene where Ali and Yami are having a conversation over Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi.

Ali is confident that Afridi, one of the most "adored and loved" cricketers at the moment, "will hug me" after seeing the film.

"My real fans will perceive it in a right way and everyone will come and watch the film," added the actor who has featured in other Bollywood films like Tere Bin Laden, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and Chashme Baddoor.

Hugh Jackman Joins New Peter Pan Movie As One Evil Pirate...........!



Looks like Wolverine will be trading in his claws for a sword - although he'll probably hang on to the facial hair. According to Variety, Hugh Jackman is in negotiations to play the pirate Blackbeard in Joe Wright's upcoming Peter Pan origin story film, Pan. The film will follow a young orphan boy who is taken to Neverland, where he leads the natives in a rebellion against the evil pirates, led by Blackbeard, and becomes a hero to those who live in the magical land. Blackbeard will be the main antagonist of Pan, but Peter Pan purists shouldn't be worried, as Hook will still play a significant role. In fact, Hook will start off as one of Peter's allies and good friends, although he will, of course, eventually turn against him. Jackman is the first person to be cast in the film, as the filmmakers are apparently hoping to find an unknown actor to play the lead role. 

The role is somewhat of a departure for Jackman, who has a long line of likeable good guys and gruff anti-heroes under his belt. However, his recent performance in the film Prisoners proves that he's capable of playing dark, intense characters, which will be an asset to him when it comes time to terrorize Peter Pan. Since the filmmakers had apparently approached Javier Bardem for the part before offering it to Jackman, there's a good chance that they're looking for him to play an out-and-out villain, someone who will haunt the nightmares of small children for years. Of course, with Jackman on board, they could now explore a different tone for the film, and allow Jackman to ham it up and chew some scenery. 

But how over-the-top and campy should he get? A lot of it depends on how young an audience Pan is aiming for. If they're looking to make it straightforward and family-friendly, there's a good chance that Jackman could decide to play Blackbeard in a more idiotic manner, and rely on a lot of the slapstick humor that characterizes Captain Hook in Disney's version of Peter Pan. However, that wouldn't make Blackbeard a particularly fearsome villain, and since Hook will not be playing the antagonist for most of the film, there needs to be at least one character who is properly menacing. Instead, allowing Jackman to concoct a villain that is equal parts entertainingly hammy and genuinely threatening would give the film a good balance of humor and suspense, which would also help it appeal to a wider audience. Of course, Pan would need to be careful of differentiating Blackbeard from the main villain of another Peter Pan origin film in the works, Peter and the Starcatchers, as Captain Blackstache is primarily known for his scenery-chewing. 

Casting Jackman as Blackbeard is such a genius idea that it's bound to be one of the strongest elements of the film, regardless of what direction the character ultimately takes. His theater experience gives him the ability to play bigger, more over-the-top characters without losing their realism, but he has proven with Prisoners and Les Miserables that he can handle dramatic roles as well. This is bound to be helpful for Wright, who is known for his quiet, introspective period pieces, and it will allow him to explore the story's fantasy and action elements without losing the drama that he specializes in. 

So essentially, all that's left for Jackman to decide is how much of an homage to Dustin Hoffman in Hook he would like Blackbeard to be.

Bruce Willis' Wife Emma Heming Is Pregnant Again........!



Hollywood film star Bruce Willis' wife, model Emma Heming, is pregnant with their second child, UsMagazine.com reported Wednesday.

The baby's gender and anticipated due date were not disclosed.

Willis also has three adult daughters with his ex-wife, actress Demi Moore.

Michael Muhney Says He Was Fired From 'Young And The Restless.........!



Actor Michael Muhney announced via Twitter he has been fired from the U.S. soap opera "The Young & the Restless."

"I'm so sorry. It breaks my heart to say this, but I was just let go from Y&R. My last day on set is this Thursday," Muhney tweeted Tuesday. "I have 3 final episodes to film, and because they are my last, I will be giving it everything I have. 

Muhney, who has played Adam Newman on the daytime drama since 2009, did not disclose in his Twitter message any other details about his termination.



Aaron Paul's Need For Speed Accelerates With Brand New Poster..........!



I’ve got a need… a need for… that stoner guy in a bunch of movies from 10 years ago! 

Yes, Aaron Paul’s made it quite a long way since playing frat boys, stoners, and "wasted guy" in Van Wilder: Party Liaison, but his career has certainly got a nice boost from becoming Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad. And the bet is on him making another jump from Emmy-winning TV star to Hollywood leading man in Need For Speed, which burns rubber at the theater on March 14th. 

Thanks to IMDb, we have a peek at the new poster, one that seriously doubles down on the star power of Mr. Paul. Fitting the trend of a movie like Need For Speed making you feel old, the names above the poster are likely ones that have never been billed in this aspect before. Dominic Cooper, who will probably make a great villain because he's British, was seen this year giving a surprisingly good performance in the otherwise-forgettable Dead Man Down, and is known to legions of nerds as Tony Stark’s daddy: he’ll reprise his Howard Stark role in next year’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier.But who is Scott Mescudi, asks everyone? Well, apparently that’s the acting name for recording artist Kid Cudi. Pretty ballsy: for comparison’s sake, would any hip hop fan be convinced to see a movie if it featured Shawn Carter, and not Jay Z? 

Though the poster sells this as a pretty epic battle happening inside Aaron Paul’s arteries (the helicopter is a metaphor for congestion, you see), this is indeed based on the series of racing games by Electronic Arts. The movies have amped up the action quite a bit, if the trailer trailer is anything to go by. Paul plays a mechanic named Tobey (wait, really?) who takes the fall for a wealthy competitor and goes to prison, emerging two years later with revenge in his carburetor. Vroom vroom! Not only is there a race involved in this revenge scheme, but it’s up to Tobey to outrun a fleet of cops on his tail, part of a series of booby traps set up by his target Dino (Cooper). Mmm, it doesn’t get more intense than a standoff between a guy named Tobey and a dude named Dino! Because this movie doesn’t have enough ridiculous names, the film also stars Imogen Poots, who could not get onto the poster because she is not a boy.
