Yes, she is Mallika, a queen in the right sense as she wants things to happen according to her pant. Mallika has finally managed to get her favourite leader and good friend Sanjay Chel to write and zero in Ravi Valia’s Fauj Main Mauj which was almost complete.

Tuning to an assiduity insider FMM was prior directed by director Murali Nagavally. Apparently Mallika, who plays the role of the sexiest woman in the district who joins the Army, was not happy with the film. Nonetheless the movie was delayed because of Mallika’s dates. Not just that she didn’t like her cast in the film thus she compelled her makers to take Sanjay Chhel whom she shares a actual rapport. Thus producer Ravi Walia had no alternative but to gesticulate him and re shoot the entire film.

Chhel who made Maan Gaye Mughl E Azam confirms, "Yes I am right now rewriting the script of Fauj Main Mauj . It will be different from the anterior film as I am going to re shoot it. When asked about the star cast he said, "I won’t be able to talk about it right now as I am still writing its script but yes Mallika will be definitely part of it."

Even the film’s producer Ravi Walia who is all set to release his next De Taali was reluctant to talk.

He said "I was not happy with the previous film hence we intent to re shoot the entire film. Removed from Mallika, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav will be there in the film.

De Taali Released !!

Cast:Ayesha Takia, Rietesh Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani, Rimi Sen, Anupam Kher, Saurav Shukla, Mukul Dev, Pawan Malhotra

Directed by- E Niwas and Produced by-Ravi Walia Embrace in affection with a friend is probably the most done-redone and re-re-done plot in Bollywood history but if done a little intelligently, it becomes quite palatable every while. Much like our undoubted old dal-chawal. And De Taali is just that – a well presented good old dal chawal.

So Paglu (Riteish Deshmukh), Abhi (Aftab Shivdasani) and Amu (Ayesha Takia) are the outstrip of friends. And they are all normal characters (Thank God). And one day, Amu realises that she is in loyalty with Abhi. Rootstock she does not really realise it all by herself. Paglu shows her the metaphorical mirror. But it's not that all consuming, I-will-cry-till-I-die kind of love at all. And guess what, that's the genuine part - There is no melodrama in the film.

Though Abhi obviously is in loyalty with another girl and talks it in front of Amu who by the way was expecting him to say those three magic words to her, it does not demit the damsel too much in distress. There is no excessively sad arithmetic where the heroine cries her eyes out over her unrequited love.

In lore, the heroine though visibly sad, does not seem to shed even one drop of precious tear over Abhi. She forms a plan with Paglu's upgrade to get her love back. And a run of odd and quite enjoyable incidents transpire. And for those who are thinking that in the process, Paglu will fall in liking with Amu and they mind start living happily ever after or Paglu will suffer a huge heartbreak (Thought courtesy: Sangam, Dil To Pagal Hai, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai etc)…he won't. Come on guys, it's a movie backwards friends who are quite normal – as commonplace savor me and you.

As for performances, the film is out and out Riteish's. He may NEVER be able to be a Yash Raj lion, but the actor surely can make his testimonial curiousnessing enough to fall in love with. He is good with his funny expressions and quick retroactions. And the character of a loving, helpful and rather sweet friend really suits the guy.

As for Aftab Shivdasani, after a very very long time, perhaps after his first film Mast, the guy is looking un-sleazy. He is actually aspecting cute with his dimples and has lived up to his character. The female lead, Ayesha is cute and bubbly and actual though we seriously hope she changes her designer and dressing sense. The t-shirts and jeans were fine but the unsightly outfits that she tried to pass as sexy…just did not work!

Rimi Sen. Did we forget about her now? Parent she runs the extra woman – the Rani Mukerji in KKHH and Madhuri in DTPH. Except for the fact she lacks the goodness of heart of a Tina or a Nisha. She is not one to talk Om Jai Jagadish Hare in college or lot in to her foster parents' wishes by subduing her own. Moreover, the inquisitivenessing part is, Rimi Sen divergent her other films is not just a decorative share in this one. Of course she wears short garment and does some sensual dancing steps – but she plays a character, a fountainhead maked, well perception about, complete character for a transit.

There's also an Anupam Kher in the movie, who's much gaunt if you ask. It seems like he left his acting valor at national when he came to shoot for this one. He is just obsessed with his dog called Jhumroo and busts to be the plighted funny relief. There was actually no penuriousness of a superimposed comic relief character in a film which was already so light hearted and funny.
So should you watch this film?

VERDICT: Well you go out for serious 'meaningful' cinema and multi-starrers – consider them your eating out days. And there's always a venture – you may or may not savor the cuisine you selected. As for this film, it's probably the same boring dal chawal you've big up eating – but you savor that it never goes out of wise.
Go for it if you are looking for a light enjoyable evening without the fear of being dissappointed..

Miseries come in droves and never alone. Shilpa Shetty realised this recently. Suffrages the actress, "These have been the worst four spans of my esprit! I was in Dubai when I suffered congestion and was down with a bad bout of cough and cold. What's worse was that after I went to Tirupati last week and stayed over at a friend's blame, I was bitten by her dog!"
Totals Shilpa "Fortunately, because it was a domestic animal, my doctor advised me against infectious anti-rabies injections. Instead, I took antibiotics. The dog bite wasn't so bad. His nails had scratched my leg and that had swollen up. It wasn't an unfriendly dog, but I later heard that it was going straightforward some hormonal changes."

Shilpa votes her taking a double antibiotic dose one, for the dog bites and another for the chest congestion proved to be serious for her. "The strong antibiotics ruined my stomach lining and made me so weak that I had to be carried in a wheelchair from the airport on Wednesday evening when I returned from Dubai. Now I am having antacids. It was so embarrassing to be wheeled in.


Shilpa votes that for the last few days she has been matchless on curd rice to soothe her stomach. "Last week, I've hardly been eating. I've been so sick that when I eat I feel like throwing up. If I don't recover soon my doctors say I might have to get an endoscopy finished. I shed 2 kgs in the process."
Shilpa adds that mã©tiers got so bad that she couldn't celebrate her birthday in Dubai. "But I just didn't care. I felt as if I was dying. I am happy that my family was there with me on my birthday."Shilpa has acquired a new office for her production house on Andheri Interrelationship Road. Says a source close to her, "It's in a swanky building on the ground floor and first floor. Her mom, Sunanda and Shilpa along with interior designer Pritesh, has done up the job. It's a 2BHK spread, selfsame soothing and tranquil with a lot of Ganeshas figurines which her mom sourced out and Feng shui stuff like bamboo shoots and fountains. The drab has indubitable energy and that's why Shilpa took the blame. She schedules to gross two films in a year.""

Shahid Kapoor - No need to clarify anything

Shahid Kapoor and Vidya Balan have been often in the news for their alleged romance that blossomed on the sets of

Kismat Konnection.

Shahid Kapoor trusts that now that he is single, he is going to be linked with every co-star. People have been talking about it. I don’t think I need to clarify anything. We spent 15 days together in Toronto on the shoot and became very good friends, but we didn’t have much of a choice he says.

About his first-time pairing with Vidya Balan, Shahid Kapoor further says, People were skeptical about how Vidya and I would look together. But the way the film has turned out shows that it’s all good. It has been cast according to its requirement and I think that is the strength of the movie. If script and characters are good people like films. People liked my character in Jab We Met. They liked my pairing with Kareena. It’s the same with Kismat Konnection — people will like our characters and our pairing too. Shahid is also a big believer in luck, "Yes, I believe in luck because I feel that it plays important part in our lives."

The Jab We Met actor received a lot of praise for his work in the film and though people would like to see him in more romantic comedies, Shahid would like variety.

I am very happy that people like me in romantic comedies. But at the same time, I feel that if I do too much of the same thing, people will get bored. They want to see me in different roles. I would get bored of myself, so I try to mix and match. I am trying to do different kind of roles now he says.

Paresh Rawal - The Virgin Goat

After proving his stoutheartedness in Bollywood, versatile actor Paresh Rawal is now getting ready to do his first international film.

It's name will be The Virgin Goat. It is a lovely script. I play a villager who is taking his goat-on-heat for mating. It's entirely the story of my testimonial.

It's rumoured that Paresh Rawal has asked for an exorbitant amount of money for the character.

"Gladden believe me, I'm asking for less than I get. I'm not comparing my price to what extras get. I'm only charging more as compared with what I used to superintendence earlier."

Boney Kapoor openly told me once that I charge too small-minded. Sometimes I ask for more than I typically would just to fob off unwanted projects.

The multi talented actor had been in the news for his remarks on Mallika Sherawat who shows his wife in Sanjay Chhel's Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam.

The two got along like a domicile on fire during the shooting of the film and Paresh made the classic statement on the settles of Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam, Mallika is largely responsible for global ferventing.

Laughs Paresh Rawal, Ha, I did say that. I don't renounce it, but only as a joke. I'm constantly temporary quips on the sets. And this was one of them. Limited did I experience that it would be the consult of the town! I've unprejudiced landed in Mumbai and everyone is seeking me backwards it.
