Ranbir-Shahid team up

Director Pahlaj Nihalani confirmed the news, “I have sounded off Ranbir for Aankhen 2 and I intend meeting Shahid very soon for the same. The only other thing that I can say at this point is that Aankhen 2 will be funnier than my original Aankhen.”
What’s more interesting about the new version of the film is that both the lead actors will star in double roles.
The filmmaker is jotting down the final script and if all goes well, the film will go on floors by the end of this year.

Shahid Kapoor, Bipasha Basu break up

Bipasha Basu

The break up, if you can call it that, happened about two weeks ago - just after the release of Mausam and before Bips left for Greece for a shoot. The reason? Apparently Shahid became increasingly indifferent to Bips after the initial excitement of meeting someone new waned.

A source reveals,"Bipasha takes people at face value. Although they were only just getting to know each other, she was keen to see where things would go with Shahid. Post her break-up with John, she wasn't in a hurry to get into another relationship. She was wary of opening up to someone new, but took a chance with Shahid as he really pursued her at the start."

However, friends and acquaintances who hung out with the seemingly cosy twosome knew the courtship would be shortlived. The source adds, "They're like chalk and cheese. Shahid is quite controlling, while Bipasha is a free spirit. After the initial high, Bips realised Shahid was slowly distancing himself from her. She's not the sort of woman to do things in half measures or stay with a man who does anymore."

The final straw was a minor fight that took place before Bips took off to Greece. "She was quite upset when it was over, as she didn't think it would be so soon. This has given her Dum Maro Dum costar Rana Daggubatti the perfect opportunity to play knight in shining armour though. He's being a good friend to Bipasha and helping her deal with the break up. While Bips was upset with the way Shahid ended things, her friends have told her to think of him as a rebound man and move on with life," says a close friend.

I have no interest in direction: Shahid Kapoor

Auditions, rejections...Shahid Kapoor rewinds to life 10 years back when he was just one among the thousands vying to find a place in Bollywood.
And an actor father was no bonus, says the 30-year-old, whose progression from a chocolate boy hero to a mature actor is subtly reflected in his latest release, " Mausam". "Ten years back, I was dreaming to being where I am today," Shahid told IANS in an interview as he sat back to recall his journey. His career as an actor started with him playing the cute lover boy in "Ishq Vishk" in 2003. "Mausam", which marks the directorial debut of his father, veteran actor Pankaj Kapoor, features Shahid as Harinder Singh - a young, fun-loving boy who grows up to be an aware, mature and confident individual. It's almost as if "Mausam" showcases Shahid's transition in Bollywood. "I'm glad this reflects! I remember when I sat down with dad, he said 'Beta, I want to show you not just in one shade, I want to show different aspects of you as an actor'.
So that was the effort with 'Mausam'," he said. Shahid admits he was confused initially, but knows what he wants now. "A decade back, I was running around trying to get myself any kind of a role, going to different places, and auditioning and being rejected. I was trying to make my body and just trying to get a break anyhow. Then 'Ishq Vishk' happened. "When I started off, I didn't really know anything. I just had a lot of love and passion for acting. I knew acting was what I loved the most in the world. But I got confused. The first four or five years of my career, I was very confused - I didn't know what was right, what was wrong. There was no one to guide, nobody to tell me. "Although my father is an actor, he wasn't the hero in films. Besides, he always told me that I need to make my own mistakes and learn from what I am doing. So I went through this whole phase of trying to understand what the right thing to do is," Shahid said, and heaved a sigh. And then? "Then one day, I came up with a very simple solution - do what you want to do, do what you love doing!

Sonam loves gossiping: Shahid Kapoor

Sonam

When nervous, Sonam Kapoor talks non-stop whereas her co-star Shahid Kapoor is focussed and quiet. 

The chalk-and-cheese pair will be seen together on screen for the first time in debutant director Pankaj Kapur's Mausam. Here, Shahid and Sonam talk about their friendship, chemistry and bonding. Read on...

Sonam on Shahid: 

Shahid

Somebody once asked me what was the one thing I didn't know about Shahid. I said, 'I know everything!' Opposites generally create intense chemistry. There are more chances of fireworks when different people are together than similar personalities. I like the fact that Shahid is hard-working, he is a gentleman and treats me well. What I don't like about him is that he is too much of a perfectionist.

Usually you have to warm up to your co-star while doing scenes, but with Shahid it happened right from day one. We are still in touch and we know most stuff about each other. We haven't spoken about our friendship and it was presumed that we aren't friends. It is a quiet kind of friendship. We both understand what is happening in our lives. We know what films we are doing next, where we are going to be in the next two to three years.

I rarely make friends in the film industry and Shahid is one of them. He likes talkative girls. We discuss our personal lives but it is better if we keep it to ourselves. 

Kareena Kapoor out of Shahid Kapoor's guest list

Shahid Kapoor

Shahid Kapoor is leaving no stone unturned for his home-production, Mausam. Shahid has personally invited everyone from Bollywood for the premiere of Mausam. Calling his ex-flames Vidya Balan andPriyanka Chopra but leaving Kareena Kapoor, the one woman with whom he had the longest relationship. 






A source said, "Shahid and Pankaj decided the guestlist. They personally called or texted everyone from the industry. But maybe, Shahid didn't want Kareena." 

This comes as a surprise because Shahid and Kareena have maintained that that they are cordial to each other and would love to work together again after Jab We Met. 

Shahid and Kareena had also been very warm towards each other during the Filmfare awards earlier this year. Saif was also present with Kareena. The three of them had exchanged pleasantries and spent time together. 

The reason for their break-up still remains a mystery since both of them have remained tight-lipped about it and moved on. Kareena began dating Saif Ali Khan immediately while shooting for Tashan. 

Shahid found love in Vidya Balan while shooting for Aziz Mirza's Kismet Konnection. However, once the film released, Shahid decided to move on. Soon, they stopped talking to each other. According to sources, they drifted apart because Shahid was attracted to tennis star Sania Mirza. 

Though, Kareena has been going strong with the Chhote Nawab, it is not the same for Shahid. The actor was seen hanging out with Priyanka Chopra soon after Vidya. Shahid and Priyanka had an on-off relationship interspersed with a lot of fights. 

However, they have not let their personal differences disrupt their professional lives. Shahid and Priyanka will be seen together in Kunal Kohli's next untitled film. The three girls in question were unavailable for comment
