Click & Marry, that's the unusual enticing title of a film to be directed by a London-based filmmaker Anu Menon.

The film is apparently about an alliance off the internet. But what makes it unusual is the casting. Rahul Bose and Pandit Ravi Shankar's elder daughter Anoushka Shankar play a couple who find their combined karma through the internet.

Neither Rahul nor Anoushka is willing to talk about the film. Says Rahul, "It's too early to say anything about this project. But Anoushka and I know each other well. So doing a film with her would be great fun. As for working with Anu, she seems committed and fun. And I've really enjoyed worked with a female director before. So why not this time?"

Sometime back Aamir Khan, after watching ‘Welcome’, had said he would love to do a complete comedy film in future. Now it seems like the actor has come out with the right concept to do the comical act. According to a buzz, Aamir was approached by film maker Neeraj Vohra with an interesting concept which impressed the perfectionist so much that he immediately gave the green signal. Looks like Aamir will produce the venture too. Well we are all aware that the star only decides to produce a project if he is supremely confident about the idea. So folks get set to see that same Aamir who captured the attention of the movie buffs by his great comic timings portrayed in movies such as ‘Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin’, ‘Andaz Apna Apna’ and ‘Rangeela’. The new comedy film will reportedly hit the floors only next year as Neeraj is presently busy with the films ‘Shortkut’ and ‘Familywala’. For those who are not aware, Neeraj is the guy who wrote the story of ‘Rangeela’ , ‘Hera Pheri’ and also called the shots for ‘Khiladi 420’ and ‘Phir Hera Pheri’. So now we guess you might understand the comic quotient of Neeraj. He is also the director of the recent ad of Tata Sky featuring Aamir Khan as half male and half female. Wow Neeraj, hats off to you for come out with something so creative! We simply loved the ad. Film lovers have a reason to hope for seeing Aamir again in an out and out slapstick comedy movie when the reports of a sequel of ‘Andaz Apna Apna’ being planned came up. Nothing more was heard of the intended sequel after the initial splash of news. We hope that at least this new buzz on Neeraj Vohra and Aamir teaming up prove to be true.
Paa,’ this is how the junior Bachchan addresses his dad, now it takes shape of a film directed by R Balki. He is the guy who directed ‘Cheeni Kum’ that had Big B and Tabu playing the leads.
We find in the actor’s blog “My rituals today were guided by the extensive hours at the studio, a major portion of which were in front of the make up mirror, getting the face plastered with silicon”. But the actor is very pleased with the look that he dons in this film.” The make-up specialists are from Los Angeles and it takes four hours for the team to do justice to the new look of Bachchan Sr. Big B has complimented the team of make-up professionals and has said that they are extremely professional in their work. ‘Paa’ is being co-produced by AB Corp and Reliance Big Entertainment. The film started rolling a couple of days back. The film sees Big B along with son Abhishek, Vidya Balan and Harman Baweja in pivotal roles.

A scintillating buzz across the globe is about a source revealing that Danny Boyle has been asked to direct James Bond’s 23rd Film. It’s a high-season for British Filmmaker Danny Boyle who stunned the world with his impeccable story of the ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. In fact, the filmmaker was a bit distressed as there were no takers for this film as they felt it wouldn’t do good business at the box office.

Talks suggest that it was co-producer Callum McDougal who suggested Danny as both of them have shared a good rapport for a very long time. As a matter of fact, Callum who produced Danny’s ‘Beach’ was fascinated by his working style. Says one of the sources, ‘Danny’s intense involvement with the motifs he drops on his script papers is unbeatable by any of the contemporary filmmakers. For sure, he would offer a new-dimensioned James Bond and it’s something about turning spotlights of entire globe if Danny is there in Bonds’ family’. And not only does the story end there, if Boyle signs up for this flick, undoubtedly don’t we all know who the music director for the film would be? Uh-huh! None other than the ‘Mozart of Chennai’ our very own A.R. Rahman, as both have already planned to work on another international project that’s expected to be based on the organized crime in Mumbai.
