Tango time for Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra will be seen doing the tango in Vishal Bhardwaj's Saat Khoon Maaf. A sequence in the film requires PC to perform the South American dance form. Ever since she got back from her schedule in Coorg, the actress has been watching videos.

And is trying to master the steps. This is the first time she is learning to learn a special dance form for a film. She's has always always loved watching people do the intricate steps in English films and is quite excited about being trained by a professional tango dancer.

Making efforts The dance is important to the script (perhaps like the one in Scent Of A Woman) which is why PC is making the effort to master the dance rather than do an impromptu jig on the sets. Says an insider, "Vishal is very particular about every minute detail. When he wrote the scene, he was very clear that his leading lady had to perform the tango like an expert."

The actress won't be seen doing the dance with any of her on-screen husbands like John Abraham, Naseeruddin Shah, Irrfan Khan or others. "She dances with a supporting character. Since the tango is all about chemistry between the partners, PC has been making efforts to involve the actor in the rehearsals as well."
Priyanka confirms, "Yes, I am learning the tango and quite excited about it."

What is the tango? Tango is a dance that has influences from Spanish and African culture. Dances from the candomble ceremonies of former slave peoples helped shape the modern day Tango. The dance originated in lower-class districts of Buenos Aires. The music derives from the fusion of various forms of music from Europe.

Plump cheeks, fair skin….They’re sooooo adorable! They love Shah Rukh Khan and me. They’ve watched all my movies.

Saif and I want Agent Vinod to look like no other movie before.” While Saif will be doing hardcore action scenes, Kareena herself will have stunts to perform too. “I do have my share of running around both off and on camera.

Hollywood calling Sonam Kapoor

Anil Kapoor wooed Hollywood. And now it is his daughter Sonam to be wooed by the west. She has been offered two Hollywood films in the space of six months.

Says a source, "While in LA, Anil met Ben Stiller to exchange ideas for a production company they want to launch together for a joint production.

During one such talk, the actor told him about his home production Aisha, starring his elder daughter. Ben asked to see the film's show reel as he was casting for.

The role of Kate for his production house's (Red Hour Films) 30 million dollar film. Titled 30 Minutes Or Less, it is directed by Reuben Fleischer.

And stars Jesse Eisenberg and Danny MacBride. After Stiller saw the show reel, he sent an e-mail to Anil saying he thought Sonam was 'fantastic' and that he wanted to cast her."

Anil's business manager Udayan confirms, "Yes, Sonam has been offered 30 Minutes Or Less and we are working out the dates.

It looks a bit difficult because of her tight schedule as she's shooting for Thank You with Akshay Kumar and Mausam with Shahid Kapoor and promoting her next release Aisha but we are still trying to work it out."

That isn't all. Within a month of Anil's return to India, he got a call for another offer for his beti. This time from Edoardo Ponti (son of Sophia Loren and Carlo Ponti's) who just announced a new project called Das and wants to cast the IHLS girl. The film would be made in India.

Says a source close to Anil, "Father and daughter are very clear about their strategy. Sonam is already committed to three releases this year -- Aisha and Mausam and Thank You. These also include promotion for Aisha. These are commitments made earlier and no big film can come in the way of that unless the projects are really exceptional."

Karan Chooses Hrithik Over Abhishek For Agneepath Remake!

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan immortalized the character of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in the 1990's blockbuster 'Agneepath'.

After two decades, film producer Karan Johar is ready to revitalize the role with today's superstar Hrithik Roshan.

Although, it was a dream of Amitabh's son actor Abhishek Bachchan to play the character but he was not even offered up.

Hrithik is said to be Karan's first option to play this character, where he will be seen playing an international criminal.

This character of 'Dina Nath' garnered a national award for Mr. Bachchan. Karan Malhotra will direct the remake of Agneepath.

Previously, it was believed that Abhi will be playing the role played by Big B and Jaya Bachchan will be seen in the character of his mother.

The sources said, "Abhishek Bachchan was never approached for the role in the remake version. Debutant Karan Malhotra will be writing and directing the remake of the movie. The character of Hrithik will have an influence of Al Pacino in 'Scarface'." The failure of Abhishek's recent release Raavan may be one of the reasons of not being selected for the role.

The choice of Hrithik is acceptable given his international looks, which is perfect for the movie as he will play an international gangster with a chic and happening look. The interesting character of Krishnan Iyer M. A. will be missing in the remake, which was played by another veteran Bollywood star Mithun Chakraborty.
