Post 'Shaandaar', Vikas Bahl loses out on a brand deal

Vikas Bahl is believed to have lost out on an endorsement deal following the debacle of his last film 'Shaandaar'
The debacle of his last directorial venture, 'Shaandaar', seems to have proved costly for Vikas Bahl. According to the grapevine, the filmmaker had been approached to endorse a new cellphone brand, but given the film's lacklustre performance at the box office, the makers cancelled the deal.

Says a source, "Vikas earned lot of popularity and respect after 'Queen' (2014) won critical as well as commercial acclaim. To top it all, the film won a National Award. So, this particular company was excited about signing him as their brand ambassador. After initial talks, they wanted to go ahead with the deal. However, it has now fallen through."
The brand is said to be looking for another popular director now. "They are clear about having a filmmaker on board, instead of an actor. Although they are yet to finalise their brand ambassador, we hear Vikas was dropped after Shaandaar tanked at the box office and his image took a bit of a beating."
Vikas remained unavailable for comment.

Aamir Khan collapses during 'Dangal' film shoot

Superstar Aamir Khan, who suffered a muscle spasm in one of his shoulders while shooting an action scene for 'Dangal', has been advised by doctors complete bed rest for at least eight days.

Aamir suffered the injury on November 14 night while shooting a wrestling scene. He is now returning to Mumbai to take a break from filming the movie directed by Nitesh Tiwari.
Aamir Khan took to Twitter to assure his fans and wrote, "Hey guys its not such a major injury. My back muscle has gone into a spasm. A week of rest and I will be back on shoot."

"Following the injury, Aamir took 24 hours of rest in Ludhiana as he could hardly move. Now, he has been asked to take complete rest for eight days after which doctors will decide the next course of action," Aamir's spokesperson told IANS.
The unit of the film, which also stars Sakshi Tanwar, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Rajkumar Rao, is on a break until Aamir is able to resume work.
Since it was Diwali time, his wife and filmmaker Kiran Rao and son Azad were with him in Ludhiana, when the injury struck.
'Dangal' is said to be based on the life of wrestler Mahavir Phogat.
It is yet another of the superstar's films to release on Christmas weekend -- a time when he also scored hits with 'Taare Zameen Par', '3 Idiots', 'Dhoom: 3' and 'pk'.

Adele cries to her music

London: Oscar-winning singer Adele feels confident with her new material only when it “really moves” her and leaves her needing a moment alone to compose herself. “That’s how I know that I’ve written a good song for myself — it’s when I start crying. It’s when I just break out in tears in the vocal booth or in the studio, and I’ll need a moment to myself,” she said.

The 27-year-old crooner admits she used to “drown” in her emotions when writing her second album, 21, but loved the drama of “falling apart”.
“I just used to let myself drown. If I was sad, if I was confused — which I would say were the running themes for most of my records so far — I’d just go with it,” she recalled. “I’d let myself fall apart, and I’d sit in darkness, and I’d feel sorry for myself, and I wouldn’t accept any help to get out of it, in terms of going out with my friends to cheer me up, or staying busier. “I loved the drama of it all,” she added.
But the Someone Like You hitmaker said she never wants to bring herself so low again, because of her responsibilities to her partner Simon Konecki and their three-year-old son, Angelo.

Spice Girls still 'figuring out' reunion

Los Angeles: Singer Mel B says the Spice Girls are keen to “make sure something happens” for their 20th anniversary next year but are still “figuring out” the details of a potential reunion tour.

The 40-year-old has insisted the group, which includes Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Mel C and Geri Horner, are keen to reunite with each other but nothing is set as of now.
Asked about the chance of a reunion, Mel B said, “Potentially, yes. Once we sort everything out we make an announcement, but right now we're just figuring it all out. Next year is your 20 anniversary so we're really just trying to make sure something happens.
“We’re figuring stuff out. As soon as we figure it out we’ll tell every detail, but until then there’s not much to say. It’s like when you’re dating somebody and everyone is forcing you to get married. It’s like, ‘We’re getting married! Just give us a second to figure it out,” she added.

“I don’t know where I really live,” said the 21-year-old Canadian popstar. “I’m just trying to figure it out, dude... Me and Corey (Gamble) are laughing in the room right now, because he’s helping me try to find a house. We just died laughing because we can’t find, like we can, but we can’t, ‘cause I won’t make a decision.” Bieber then admitted, “I don’t want neighbours!” while further adding that he is “loud, I’m really loud.”
“I’m going to play my music really, really, really loud every night, I’m going to play the drums. And I can’t have neighbours, just because I don’t want to piss anyone off,” he added.
However, the Baby hitmaker is optimistic that he might find the residence which is seeking, even though that might take half a year.

Jennifer Connelly's hubby strummed his way to her heart

Los Angeles: Actress Jennifer Connelly believes she began to develop feelings for her husband Paul Bettany after she heard him play the guitar.

The 44-year-old met her spouse almost 15 years ago when they starred alongside one another in A Beautiful Mind. Although there was instant chemistry, Connelly believes it wasn’t until she saw the actor's musical talent that she was really won over by him.
“I remember meeting him at the first read through. I thought, ‘Hmm, he’s really good, that guy.’ He started playing guitar and it was all over,” Connelly said.
The feeling was mutual for Bettany as he was in awe of her beauty when he first laid eyes on her on the set of the movie.
He explained: “I’ve never been this close to someone that beautiful before. I remember thinking, ‘I bet every man you ever met has tried to flirt with you.’”
The couple, who have children Stellan, 12, and Agnes, 4, together, struck up a relationship once filming had wrapped up in 2001 and they married afterwards in 2003.
