Jacky Bhagnani Rishi Kapoor
The shooting of Vashu Bhagnani's Kal Kisne Dekha suffered a major setback when a fire broke out on Sunday night near Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus.The film is the acting debut of Vashu Bhagnani's son, Jacky. Director Vivek Sharma who was shooting an important chase sequence since early morning lost about 30 exposed cans resulting in a loss of nearly Rs 35 lakh. 
Vivek Sharma said, "Yes, the vanity van caught fire due to a short circuit. We lost the entire raw stock and all the work of almost two-and-a-half shifts. We lost the entire chase sequence that we had shot since 7am.
We had shot for this scene with Jacky Bhagnani with a three camera set up and had hired 50 cars for the sequence. We had also taken special permission to shoot at Marine Drive where we had managed to get some amazing shots.
Rishiji (Kapoor) joined us in the evening and he and Jacky shot together. We needed just two more shots to complete the entire shoot. However, it was our misfortune that the van in which all the exposed raw stock was kept caught fire. We lost almost five minutes film time."
"Just an hour before the fire broke out, we had kept the raw stock in the van as it was air conditioned. In fact, I am glad that no one was hurt. Fortunately, Jacky had just got out of the van a few minutes before the mishap. We called the fire brigade and they were there in a few minutes. But the fire was so bad that everything was destroyed in minutes. 
We took the burnt raw stock to the processing lab but they said that it was of no use now. It was the last day that Rishiji was shooting for the schedule and now, as I am going location hunting to the Philippines, I will have to come back and get fresh dates to shoot the sequence with him all over again," added Vivek.

The festival of lights is round the corner and everyone is in great festive mood. Bollywood stars are in high spirits and making plans to celebrate the occasion in a grand manner. One couple who is really excited about celebrating with family and industry friends is action hero Akshay Kumar and his wife Twinkle Khanna. The duo is going to host a grand Diwali bash on October 28 at their Juhu residence. All the bigwigs of Bollywood are invited and Twinkle is making all the arrangements as Akki is out of station and he will be flying down a day before the festival.
They have got a long list of guests that includes, Vipul Shah, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Vivek Oberoi, Sajid Nadiadwala, Sajid Khan, Rani Mukerjee and Katrina Kaif, the Bachchans and the other Khans are also being invited. The Chopras, Pamela and Aditya Chopra have also been invited along with Karan and Hiroo Johar and Farah Khan and Shirish Kunder. David Dhawan, Anil Kapoor, Anees Bazmee are in the guest list.
The Bachchans will surely make a presence as Twinkle's sister Rinke and Shweta Nanda share a good relationship. Aishwarya and Abhishek are expected to attend. Shahrukh won't be attending as he will be off to Delhi with Gauri's parents. Salman is expected to attend with family.
This is the first time Akshay Kumar is throwing such a grand bash to his friends. He is in celebration mood as this year has been very favorable for him with so many box-office hits.
After baring their souls in tell-all interviews and laying down every minute romantic detail for public consumption, Bollywood much touted couple Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor are now craving for some privacy. The long legged lass Deepika, who just could not stop raving about the attention and adoration she gets for her lover boy is now avoiding any questions about the apple-of-her-eye Ranbir.Story goes that Deepika has off late started feeling choked up and wants some breathing space. The stunning actress is fretting as media constantly asking prying questions about her choco boy Ranbir.
At a recent event, when the sassy babe was asked about Ranbir she lashed out saying, "There's an audience, they should take a pick about things. Enough has been said - he talking about me, me talking about him. He is a simple person and I like to believe he is very normal like everyone else"
Apparently, the actress just entertained questions regarding her work. Well, looks like Deepika is forgetting that she and Ranbir are any day a bigger story together than they ever will be individually.

It seems that comparisons with Shah Rukh Khan won’t leave Shahid Kapur ever. After trying oh-so-hard to carve a niche for himself in the big bad world of Bollywood and struggling for long to come out of the shadow of favourite actor SRK, Shahid is miserable at being compared with the King Khan yet again.
Kapur got a shock of his life when a few days back while switching channels he came across one of the promos of his forthcoming film “Paathshala” (directed by Ahmed Khan), which ran with a not so flattering statement that said “Shahid Banne Chala Shah Rukh”. The Kapur lad’s anger knew no bounds and he immediately called up Ahmed Khan and ordered him to stop such irritating teasers and also ensure that no such thing happens in future.
According to reports, if there is one thing that a usually chilled out Shahid can’t is comparison with a certain somebody and especially the one with SRK makes him lose his cool entirely as he wants to be known in his own right.
It is believed that Shahid is portraying a role of a teacher in the movie in question and hence the comparisons. Guess that time has come when Shahid sheds off his SRK inspiration completely or else the mouths won’t stop blabbering!
