I've had Sex for Money: Sherlyn Chopra

Ever since she announced on Twitter that she will feature nude on the cover of Playboy magazine, Bollywood actor of mainly B-grade films, Sherlyn Chopra, has never stopped creating ripples on social media websites, be it with raunchy pictures, teasers of her photoshoot, or as is in this case - outstanding confession of having accepted money for sex.

A series of 'confessional' tweets from the unverified account of Chopra, who supposedly tweets from the handle @SherlynChopra, shocked users on Friday. Chopra claimed in those tweets she has had paid sex in her life, but she is past that phase now. In the contrite posts - meant for her fans - a slightly defensive Chopra said it was up to people on how they wanted to perceive her after reading her tweets.

"The confessions of 'just a girl' - Dear all, before I proceed, let me make it very clear that the intent of sharing the following confessions. It is not to create public sympathy or to raise eyebrows or to project myself as a 'bad girl gone good', it's just to state a few facts. Physical intimacy with me at a price.... I've had sex for money, having indulged in out of free will.... but ever since I got back from LA in July this year, there has been a shift in my level of consciousness," Chopra said.

Shirish Kunder gets ‘Kick’ed out?

Earlier this year, editor-director Shirish Kunder got the better of Shah Rukh Khan in a mid-night brawl and now the ‘Joker’ director seems to have irked Salman Khan. No wonder, Shirish is certainly facing the toughest phase of his Bollywood career!
Kunder was supposed to direct ‘Kick’ produced by Sajid Nadiadwala starring Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha. But buzz has it that he has been ousted from the project, that reportedly happens to be the producer’s brainchild.
‘Tiger’ Salman Khan, however, took to Twitter to clarify that Kunder had other projects in hand and hence he decided not to direct ‘Kick’.
Salman tweeted, “No that`s nt true . shirish left the film . He is working on sm thing else . Ho gaya clear ? Good ! Challo bye . Take care guys n nice(sic).”
Shirish has also apparently had a tiff with Akshay Kumar over ‘Joker, which eventually forced the latter and actress Sonakshi Sinha to withdraw themselves from the film’s promotions.
‘Joker’ that released last Friday turned out to be a Box Office dud!

I feel I am growing as an actor: Emraan Hashmi

Emraan Hashmi is on a roll post the critical and commercial success of films like `Shanghai`, `Jannat 2` and the actor says he wants to have a consistent run at the Box Office.
In the recent past, Emraan has set the cash registers ringing with several hits like `Once Upon a Time in Mumbai`, `Murder 2`, `The Dirty Picture`, `Jannat 2`.
He has films with Karan Johar (untitled), Vishal Bhardwaj (`Ek Thi Daayan`), Rajkumar Gupta`s (`Ghanchakkar`) in his kitty.
“I feel I am growing as an actor. I want to be a consistent actor. If one or two films get Rs 100 crore and the others bring in small business of just Rs five crore, then one is not left with an average performance,” Emraan told reporters in an interview.
“I want to have a consistent run rate at the box office. It will be good if every film is doing a minimum Rs 50 crore business. The money keeps coming in consistently,” he said.
At a time when the position of an actor in B-town is governed by the number of Rs 100 crore films he has to his credit, Emraan says he would not compromise with the script to achieve the golden benchmark.
“Why Rs 100 crore, I want to be a part of the Rs 500 crore member club. My biggest hit has till now grossed about Rs 60-70 crore,” Emraan said.
“But I don`t want to do a sub-standard script because it will be grossing Rs 100 crore. I have few scripts where I felt that they could do that kind of business. But I don`t understand that. So it will be on my own terms. If a film touches that mark, good, if it does not, I am fine with it,” the actor said.
Considering his Box Office track record and mass appeal, Emraan has been put in `A` list category of actors, but he insists that he does not believe in the league.
“I don`t want to get stereotyped of what a star or superstar is… I want to break this mould. So I don`t believe in this whole term of `A` or `B` league of actors. I don`t understand the concept of league and I am not part of any,” Emraan stressed.
“I don`t understand the concept of big or small movie. Films are interesting. There are good and bad films. Sometimes big budget flicks also don`t do well. As an actor one can gauge his or her success by Box Office results. And I want my films to do well,” he added.
Emraan`s latest in the offing, `Raaz 3`, directed by Vikram Bhatt, revolves around the downfall of an actress and how she resorts to black magic to secure her position in the industry.
Starring Emraan, Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta in the lead, the film is produced by Mahesh Bhatt-Mukesh Bhatt and releases on September 7.

Himesh Reshamiya turns producer for Akshay Kumar’s film

Although Akshay Kumar’s Joker has not opened to great box office collections, he needed worry too much if Himesh Reshammiya’s comments are anything to go by. According to the super-hit music director and singer, “Akshay is extraordinary in the title role of Khiladi”. And why shouldn’t he be? With a record of previous box office successes using the ‘Khiladi’ title (Main Khiladi Tu Anari, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi) and Himesh currently rocking the charts again (Bodyguard, Bol Bachchan), there is no doubt that this will be one knock out combination.
If you didn’t know already Himesh is not only producing Khiladi 786, but has also written the story, composed the music and will be acting alongside Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. A confident Himesh shared “The story is nice and fascinating…the music will be very good and audience will love it!” Further, the film is being directed by debutant Ashish R Mohan, who was the assistant director in Rohit Shetty’s ‘Golmaal’ series, thus giving us all a flavour of what to expect.
Here’s hoping that Khiladi 786 repeats the success of Rowdy Rathod, when it releases on 7th December.

Salman Khan's Advice For 'Zanjeer'

It is known news that Ram Charan is currently juggling his time between three of his projects and one among them is very prestigious. Well, it happens to be his Bollywood debut and it is also the remake of the classic hit of Bollywood ‘Zanjeer’ which had the likes of Amitabh Bachchan and Pran.

Now, it is heard that some brakes have been applied for the remake since Arjun Rampal who was reprising the role of Pran has walked out. But here is the more challenging part. It is heard that the Bollywood superstar Salman Khan who has been a guide to Charan in Bollywood has reportedly recommended Sanjay Dutt as replacement.

Well, Sanju Baba is Sallu’s close friend and with Salman’s recommendation, Sanjay is under serious consideration for the role. That is indeed a good news for the film but it may not be for Charan, say a few. Well, Sanjay is a heavyweight in Bollywood in both personality and in brand value so the challenge for Charan is, he has to prove his presence and at the same time look compatible physically with Sanjay onscreen. This should be interesting.

Why is Esha hiding her boyfriend now?

It is common knowledge in Delhi circles that B-Town newbie Esha Gupta and socialite Feroze Gujral’s son Armaan have been dating for a couple of years now. What strikes one as odd, though, is that the newbie actress has gone mum about their relationship since entering B-Town.
The former Miss India’s dating spree began when she was a Delhi model and the two would be spotted regularly at parties, reveal sources. Since her debut, though, she prefers not to comment on their relationship.
But the telltale signs of the bond remain. A few months ago, at an event at Mehboob Studios, we were witness to the warm exchange between Esha and Armaan’s mom Feroze. Also, a couple of weeks ago, Esha flew to Delhi for a short, two-day break to meet her family, but we hear that it was a twin-purpose visit to meet Armaan and them. When asked to confirm, Esha replied with a terse, “No comment.”
