Did you miss seeing Bollywood power couple Amitabh-Jaya together on screen? They have teamed up again after a decade, not for an film, but for a jewellery brand ad campaign.

"At Tanishq, the jewellery business of the Tata Group for their AV for endorsement. Jaya and I doing it together," Amitabh wrote on his blog bigb.bigadda.com.

The two will be seen together after Karan Johar's super successful family saga "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" in 2001 which also starred Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan Kareena Kapoor and Kajol.

Imran Khan gets seduced by Soniya Mehra in a bathroom


Imran Khan was cornered in bathroom by Soniya Mehra and was tried to be taken advantage of. But, thankfully, not in reality! This happened on the shoot of Batra’s movie “Short Term Shaadi”, which is being produced by none other than Karan Johar. The movie is of the rom-com genre.

Soniya is the daughter of deceased actor Vinod Mehra. Imran’s role is that of an architect, who is meticulous, in the movie. His character’s name is Rahul. Till date, Imran hasn’t done any intimate scenes in any of his movies. So, he needed an amount of coaxing from the director of the movie Shakun Batra and Johar himself.

The scene is in a bathroom cubicle, where Soniya, who wears a provocative outfit, tries to tempt him to get intimate. But instead of being something to watch behind closed doors, the scene ends on a comic note.

The movie is slated to release in October 2011, on the 6th of the month. Imran has been around in the industry for the past three years. He debuted with the movie “Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na” alongside Genelia in the Abbas Tyrewala- Aamir Khan venture. It was one of the big hits.

Sanjay Dutt goes bald, Sanjay Dutt in Agneepath, Karan Malhotra's Agneepath, Sanjay Dutt gone Bald, Karan Johar, Amitabh Bachchan


It has been reported that Sanjay Dutt, who plays a baddie in Karan Malhotra's Agneepath (he plays the suave Kancha Cheena enacted by Danny Denzongpa in the original), will go bald for the role. But the reality is a little different.

A visitor to the set in Central Mumbai, where Sanju shot a two-day portion, told BT: "Sanju is bald in the film. He had a shining pate on March 2 and 3." However, those who met the 51-year old actor the very next day at his Pali Hill residence found his mop of hair intact. In other words, the actor hasn't actually gone bald like Aamir Khan did for Ghajini and Salman Khan for Tere Naam. He is cheating the 'bald' look.

Producer Karan Johar has called the international make-up artist Robin Slater to style Hrithik and also supervise Sanju's look. The make-up expert was seen fussing over the actor. There are a lot of things about this Agneepath that are different from the original Amitabh Bachchan-Mukul Anand cult classic of the 90s. There Danny had a nice mop of hair and was based out of Mauritius. Here, Dutt is bald and his headquarters are in the union territory of Diu. Sanjay remained unavailable for comment.

The hair scare
The Bollywood brigade, especially those who have done hair-weaving jobs (Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Ranbir Kapoor and Sunny Deol) aren't keen on shaving their heads for a role because it can complicate issues as far as growing it back is concerned. Also there is the continuity factor involved in films. Says an expert, "In a nutshell, guys with hair implants should ideally not risk shaving their hair just for a role. The scalp in their case is not conditioned for too many experiments.''
