It's the look factor for Hema Malini - Internationally acclaimed designer Neeta Lulla worked 48 hrs for dreamgirl Hema Malini's forthcoming venture "Ek Thi Rani Aisi Bhi". It seems that the designer was very excited when Hema mentioned about her latest venture. The actress explained the role of Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia in this biopic directed by Gulbahar Singh. Neeta is known for giving Aishwariya Rai the stunning look of Jodhabai in Ashutosh Gwarikar's 'Jodha Akbar'. She has proved her mettle as one of the finest costume designer in hindi film industry.

"Hemaji has always fascinated me as a personality," says Neeta. The designer had to work 48hrs nonstop for the final look of Rajmata. "Actually we both had time constraints so I had to work round the clock to give Hemaji the look of the Rajmata. I did my own research and Hemaji also gave me a reference book which helped me a lot. I tried to give her a different look in Baghbaan and people loved her the way she looked in the film. Hope even this time people will like it," she says.

Katrina Kaif was shooting for Subhash Ghai's Yuvvraaj at the world famous Swavroski showroom in Austria recently. Known for its landmark jewelry and showpieces, unit members began teasing Katrina saying that the rare crystal pieces would catch her attention more and the shooting work less. "What piece of jewelry should I buy for myself? What piece would best adorn my home?" were the questions, the unit members said, that surely troubled Katrina. But surprise, surprise! Katrina was only focused on her work. Her attention was completely on the scene that was being shot. "Not even once did Katrina's attention get drifted towards the showpieces and the jewelry. She was completely immersed in her work. She was 'crystal' clear about her career. Anybody in her place would have easily given into the temptation of walking around the beautifully decorated store and shopped like a maniac. But not Katrina." The unit members decided to honor Katrina's dedication towards her work. "We bought a gift from Swavroski for Katrina and presented it to her after the shooting got over. She was touched by our gesture," a unit member revealed smiling. The unit member added, "Swarvroski usually do not allow any shooting to take place in their stores. But they made an exception for Subhash Ghai's film. They even kept the store shut that particular day. But thousands had gathered to watch the shooting of the film."
Her debut film HASTEY HASTEY may not have really brought smiles on the face of Nisha Rawal while follow up project RAFOO CHAKKAR too failed to make an impact. However, she is hardly complaining.

It was fun to watch TOM DICK AND HARRY and I can already see that the sequel is turning out to be a laugh riot as well", says Nisha who has been paired opposite singer/composer turned actor Mika in the film. While Mika plays the role of Dick in the film, Tom's part is enacted by Suresh Menon. "I have shot for a promotional number with Mika for the film and it's a complete freak out song. It is made for the masses", exclaims Nisha who has forever been known as the 'Chanda Ki Doli' girl (remember the music video with Sonu Nigam?) Apart from TOM DICK AND HARRY ROCK AGAIN, Nisha has also shot for JACK N JHOL which would be released soon.
