Mumbai: Ramu Ki Aag: Part 2
Vilasrao Deshmukh's visit to the Taj Mahal Palace and Hotel with Ram Gopal Varma has caused an outrage. There are several SMSes going around. Here are a few samplesâ¦
I think he's planning Ramu Ki Aag Part II. R R Patil will play Gabbar Singh asking 'Kitne aadmi mare the? Sirf 200?" Shivraj Patil will be the Thakur without power and democracy will dance like Basantiâ¦. Jab tak hain jaan, mein nachungi and we bloody 100 crores, the helpless poor dumb junior artistes will be spectators!
Join the terrorism tour organised by Deshmukh and Son. Lucky draw for a lead role in Ram Gopal Varma's D!
Now if the CM finds himself without a job, maybe RGV can cast him in one of his films, in a role cast off by Amitabh Bachchan.
RGV was sent by the Big B to be part of the CM's entourage. It's his way of getting back at Sonia Gandhi's party.
Candle in the wind
Juhi Chawla was spotted at the candle- light vigil at Marine Drive on Sunday evening held in memory of the terror victims. Some television channel reporters were seen congregating near Chawla. Yet, the classy gathering left the actor alone and gave the occasion just the right sense of sobriety. After all, this was not a time for movie stars but the real heroes, men in uniform and citizens in civil clothes that showed courage in fighting against terrorists. Even Chawla lit a candle to that.
Solace in painting
Sohail Khan and sister Arpita Khan were spotted at Aashish Chaudhary's sister's funeral a victim of the terror attack. The Khans have been close to Aashish. Big brother Salman Khan was missing from the scene as he is in Greece shooting for Boney Kapoor's Wanted Dead and Alive. It is learnt that the actor has been keeping track of the happenings in Mumbai and has turned to painting in a big way. A birdie chirps to say that he is painting sunsets. Next, we guess, will be the dawn a new beginning that the city desperately needs.
Family time
Preity Zinta returned two days ago from Dubai to a shell-shocked Mumbai. "I still can't believe what's happened. "I was stranded on Dubai airport on Wednesday night. Innocent women and children were being killed. What sense does it make? My brother and his family have come from the US to bring in my mother's birthday on Sunday. They couldn't have chosen a worse time to come. But it's good to have my family with me." There's nothing like a hug on days like thes...
Grey role
We spotted Aamir Khan on the latest cover of GQ looking rather distinguished and fierce. Of course, his rather large ears do distract a little but that man looks ready for battle. We're also interested by the tagline that says that AK has spoken about how he should keep his mouth shut. But Aamir, these times call for a man who's ready to stand up for ... you ready?
Speechless
Mira Nair, who paid a handsome tribute to the city in Salaam Bombay, is unable to talk about it. "I have no words at this moment. I pray for equanimity to prevail and that we don't give in to hysteria." Mira has stayed at the devastated Taj on her frequent visits to Mumbai and we're sure she will soon again!
