Diary

Amitabh Bachchan has had great on-screen chemistry with some of his leading ladies over the years; Rekha, Jaya Bhaduri, Rakhi, Zeenat Aman, Parveen Babi - to name a few. And he also shared great rapport with some of his male co-stars; Shashi Kapoor, Vinod Khanna, Shatrughan Sinha from the past and Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, Sanjay Dutt from the present lot. Adding to that list is now Abhishek Bachchan. They have rocked in each movie they have done together so far - Bunty Aur Babli, Sarkar and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. And they also have many lined up - Sarkar 2, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Bhairavi and Shootout At Lokhandwala. Now the real life father-son jodi will play the same on-screen in R Balakrishnan's forthcoming film titled Pa.

With all the hype that the paparazzi has been making about Tom Cruise’s personal life, they all seem to have forgotten the brilliant actor that he is and also that “movies” is the keyword that he is supposed to be allied with.

Owing to the recent control that Tom Cruise has taken over United Artists along with his production partner Paula Wagner, now the inaugural movie of this house is being directed by the legendary Robert Redford (who also stars in the movie) and is called “Lions for Lambs”. The movie features Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise too…. (WOW)!!!!

In a country like India, where mothers are adored as an all-forgiving goddess, Bollywood has been paying tributes to them. There have been countless instances of how India is depicted as a motherly figure with its subjects as her children. Earlier, every film necessarily revolved around an all-sacrificing, feeble and helpless mother, who devoted their entire lives for their “Laadla”, invariable the boy child. But over the years, Bollywood mothers have undergone a drastic change. The scene has completely altered. From “Maa” they have changed to “Moms”.

The movie trailer of Abhishek Bachchan's Jhoom Barabar Jhoom was shown during the movie Ta Ra Rum Pum. This is the upcoming movie directed by Sathiya and Bunty aur Babli's Shaad Ali. Considering the banner, the stars and the director associated with the movie there are obviously very high hopes with the movie. It's produced by Yash Raj Films and stars Bobby Deol, Preity Zinta and Lara Dutta in addition to Abhishek. The movie has Amitabh and SRK in special appearances with Big B in a totally new avatar.

Amanda Peet must be a happy woman. She has two releases lined up for herself and they both have to do with kids. Firstly, we have a light hearted romantic comedy called “The EX”, coming up early, next month, starring Amanda along with Zach Braff in the lead roles.
