Puri Jagannath bags another film with the Bachchans!
After working with Amitabh in Buddah Hoga Tera Baap. Puri Jagannath has bagged another offer to work with the Bachchans once again. So impressed was Amitabh Bachchan with Puri’s style of working that he recommended him to his son,Abhishek Bachchan,Puri had reportedly approached Abhishek Bachchan a long time ago for a film; however the project was kept on hold because AB Jr. was busy with other projects. Now, he has given a green signal for the film. The bigger surprise is that Puri Jagannath would be making the Hindi version of ‘The Businessman’ with Abhishek Bachchan. We know that he’s going to make the same film in Telugu with Mahesh Babu, Kajal in lead roles. The way things are turning are going on between the Bachchans and Puri Jagannath looks like the director is following the footsteps of his mentor, RGV, who made quite a more than two films with the Bachchan family.

Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam is a spy-thriller
Kamal Haasan's upcoming bilingual, Vishwaroopam is going to be a spy-thriller, according to the buzz in Tamil film industry. When the film was first announced. Selva Raghavan was supposed the direct the film. However, Selva opted out of the film citing clash of dates with another film, Irandam Ulagam which was already on floors. A leading newspaper in Chennai has reported that Vishwaroopam is going to be Kamal Haasan's most ambitious film and most of the film will be shot in UK and rest of Europe. The film was supposed to go on floors in June-July in london; however Kamal Haasan decided to postpone the launch to August. Meanwhile, Sonakshi Sinha, who was supposed to play the lead role opposite Kamal Haasan is in a dilemma since most of the dates which she had allocated for this film will go waste as the film doesn't take off in June-July. Recently, Kamal Haasan had approached Vidya Balan to essay a crucial role in the film; however she turned down the offer because she was already doing three films in Hindi. The latest entrant in the film's case is Isha Sharwani, who's engaged to Zaheer Khan.More details about this highly ambitious film will are expected to be revealed soon.
Nisha Aggarwal makes her debut in Tamil..!!!
Nisha Aggarwal, the younger sister of Kajal Aggarwal, is all set to make her debut in Tamil cinema. She'll be seen opposite Vimal who had acted in a surprise hit of 2010, Kalavani. We hear that the film is a remake of Ye Maindhi Ee vela, which was incidentally the debut film on Nisha in Telugu. Prem Nizar is going to directthe film. In Telugu, Nisha will soon be seen opposite Nara Rohith in the duo's upcoming film Solo.
Despite Ye Maindhi Ee Vela turning out to be a decent hit, Nisha hasn't been to capitalize on the success of that film. Perhaps it's time for her to take a leaf out of her sister's book who's at the peak of her career these days!

Taapsee clears deck for her sister's debut..!!!
Taapsee was off to a good start at box-office last year with Jhummandhi Naadam and soon after the film's release, she signed Mr.Perfect and Veera. All these films have firmed her position in Telugu film industry and now she's trying her best to get her younger sister, Shagun Pannu into Telugu cinema. Recently, Shagun's portfolio was seen in several websites and sources say that Taapsee is doing her part in promoting her sister. Shagun is an English Honours student at Delhi University. Will she get lucky? That remains to be seen.
If Shagun does make her debut in Telugu cinema, she would join the league of Nisha Aggarwal (Kajal's sis), Aditi Aggarwal (Aarthi Aggarwal) and others who tried their luck in Telugu cinema.

James Bond Operations end officially, No Bond movie in future
.
End to Bond Era...
The 23rd James Bond film has been officially axed and insiders predict it could be years before the suave spy is back on the big screen again. In April, production on the 23rd movie on Bond, who was to be portrayed by Daniel Craig for the third time, had been postponed due to "financial problems" at movie studio MGM, but now it has been cancelled altogether, Daily Mirror online reported. "Members of the production crew have been told the Bond film has been canned. There is a lot of bad feeling as a lot of time, money and hard work has already gone into this," an insider told the newspaper. Sam Mendes had been lined up to direct the movie but now it could be years before 007 is back on the big screen. Production company EON said in a statement, "We do not know when development will resume and cannot comment further at this stage." MGM is said to be in USD 3.7 billion worth of debt and at the moment six years is the biggest gap between films, from 1989's 'Licence to Kill' and 'Goldeneye', which came out in 1995
