Sonakshi Sinha to be brand ambassador of Pantene?

Sonakshi Sinha will very soon be joining the likes of Katrina Kaif, Neha Dhupia, Shilpa Shetty, Malaika Arora Khan and the gang…by becoming the next brand ambassador of Pantene. However, this news hasn’t been confirmed as yet cause repeated attempts to get in touch with her publicist proved futile.

But beyond any doubt, Sonakshi jee has a weighty surname, her debut film is a super duper hit & we all have noticed that she’s invariably seen with the right set of people :P I have one question though. Does Sonakshi jee have nice hair? Is there any criteria for a brand ambassador of a shampoo?

I’m sure she’s still a heavy weight champion. And I was so right about one thing – whether anyone else has the time to work in Dabanng 2 this December, Sonakshi jee will be there. Even the director has changed, but the sifarishi heroine is the same.Kya baat hai!

Dabangg 2 Controversy Continues

Dabangg has had its share of success but it seems that Dabangg 2 is only surrounded by tonnes of controversies. The major one being the rift between the Khans and Abhinav Singh Kashyap.

Now Arbaaz Khan is directing Dabangg 2 as we all know but the new issue is the copyright of the film's story. The question is whether Arbaaz Khan has the rights or Abhinav Kashyap holds the rights?

An industry source said that for the original movie Dabangg, Abhinav had presented the idea to the Khans. Salman and Arbaaz gave the go ahead to the idea and it was decided to make it into a film. For Dabangg 2 also, Abhinav and the Khans had creative conversations. Though the basic idea was locked, the final script was not locked. This certainly means that this could lead to a copyrights issues since Abhinav is out of the picture and Arbaaz is controlling everything himself.

Arbaaz Khan said, "Dabangg has come and gone and for that Abhinav had got due credit both as a director as well as the co-writer. Now Dabangg 2 is an altogether new and a different film,"

On the copyrights issue he further said, "Let me set the record straight once for and all here. Story of Dabangg is with us and Abhinav doesn't have any rights with him. In any case, the original writer of Dabangg was Dilip Shukla while Abhinav only made contribution to the film's screenplay. Now with Dabangg 2 starting afresh, there isn't anyone who can come and stake any claim whatsoever."

Oh my God, this is such a turn off. The Khans and Abhinav had issues ever since they thought of making a sequel. Salman had a fight with Abhinav too. Then he left the movie completely. Already the thought of Sonakshi Sinha being a part of the movie is so irritating and the way these people are going is quite messed up. I getting bored of this drama.

Salman’s Dabangg 2 formula

The shooting of Dabangg 2 will begin in December 2011 & whoever’s not free at that time may say goodbye to the movie. Arbaaz Khan has made it very clear but yes Dabangg cannot exist without Sallu bhai. Moreover, December is the time when Salman Khan is free.

In Dabangg 2, Chulbul Pandey will move to the city & the story is how a rustic cop handles the city slickers he encounters in his own style.

The sequel would of course be as much as fun as the original was. Buzz is that a rocking song, similar to Big B's classic 'Pag Ghungroo' number from 'Namak Haram', is being planned. Everything sounds fun. There’s just one annoying & smelly factor about Dabangg – the heavy weight champion Sonakshi jee. We can’t say anything with certainty about others, but this sifarishi will definitely be free in December for sure.

Sonu Sood to play cop in both Boodha and Maximum

Sonu Sood is again someone who has been noticed after one hell of a long time. He would be playing cop in both his movies Boodha & Maximum.

He recently spent a fortnight with a top cop in Punjab to understand the mind, body language and spoken language of a cop.

Says Sood, "It's true I have been told not to expend my mean muscles until Dabangg 2. Interestingly, I've signed two major cops' roles. One is a dream-come-true role in Puri Jaganaath's Boodha where I play Mr. Bachchan's son. My role is modelled on Amitji in Zanjeer."

Sonu has watched Zanjeer 17 times in the last six months.

"I've spent time with a senior of the DGP rank in Punjab, Mr. P S Gill. He has helped understand how a cop functions," informs Sood.

The law enforcement skills would help Sonu in his other role.

Says Sonu, "I again a play cop in Kabir Kaushik's underworld drama Maximum. I had no intentions of doing any other film except Boodha this year. And that too another role as a cop! But when I read the script of Maximum I was bowled over. I will play this cop very differently from the one in Boodha."


"And then it's back to villainy in Dabangg 2. Badman Returns" Sonu laughs his most diabolic laughter.
