Bipasha Basu And Dino Morea get pally at the launch of a fitness brand The Italian hottie has decided to contribute to the world of fitness freaks, and our Bong babe is doing her best to support her dear friend� Recently Dino Morea and Bipasha Basu were spotted : and how! : at the launch of Dino's fitness brand. And why not? After all, that's the one common interest, apart from a long and passionate love affair in the past that the duo share. So don't get any idea, peeps. We know, watching the two walking hand-in-hand wherever they went during the evening might make your eye brows dance, but trust us, there's nothing amiss. The two are �just good friends'. And we say this because Dino, we've heard, is very serious about a certain Nandita Mahtani. And Bips, like we've all seen, has been spending certain cozy moments with Harman Baweja. Hai na? But don't let that disappoint your suspicious self. Take a look at these images from the event and tell us (quick!) if you find anything fishy. Wink, wink. 
What is the problem with Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam In spite of getting clearance from the Central Board of Film Certification, Kamal Haasan's mega-ambitious movie faces a ban from the Tamil Nadu government. Is this move justified? Can the state impose this kind of diktat on films, or is there more to the whole issue than meets the eye? We dissect the controversy to find out what exactly made Vishwaroopam attract so much of the wrong kind of attention�. It all started when Kamal Haasan's decision to release his magnum opus Vishwaroopam on the DTH platform (Direct-to-Home) set the industry abuzz. The 58-year-old actor-filmmaker defended his move to introduce the film in pay-per-view mode on DTH networks on the day of its theatrical release. What Haasan thought would be an innovative move to earn money through a novel and legitimate avenue bothered producers and exhibitors from the industry who were apprehensive about the result of this newer technology that could eat into the profits they would have made by screening the film in theatres alone. As per Haasan's innovative concept, the film would have been screened on DTH eight hours before its theatrical release at the cost of Rs 1,000 per viewing. In doing so, the superstar wanted to take his film : as well as the whole experience of movie watching : to a newer level and also wanted to curb rampant video piracy. But his opponents, mostly film exhibitors and distributors, argued that this �technologically-sound' move could have killed any curiosity about the film, and therefore affect potential business, even if producers were more than excited to explore the idea. As the debate raged on and Haasan refused to relent, the film faced newer hassles on the eve of its release. Finally, after much argument, the movie lost its distribution channel and the idea of the DTH premiere had to be shelved. But Vishwaroopam found itself embroiled in a newer controversy when it faced the state-imposed ban following a new brouhaha. Some Muslim organisations in states like Tamil Nadu thought that the film portrayed their community in a negative light. The screening of the film was subsequently stopped in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and recently even in Malaysia. Interestingly and ironically, even though the Central Board of Film Certification has cleared the movie for viewing a ban has been imposed by the state government without consulting any expert body. Meanwhile, Haasan has received enormous support from the film fraternity, including southern superstarRajiniknath, who has urged Muslims to end the controversy through peaceful talks. Kamal Haasan's fans and those who attended the special screening of Vishwaroopam are of the opinion that the film has not portrayed Muslims in a bad light. And, they insist, the veteran actor has not tried to link the community with terrorism. The entire episode has been tinged with a political colour now. Is the ban politically motivated, is the question being raised. In this scenario the possibility of Haasan's detractors : some powerful exhibitors as well as distributors working in tandem with political parties, each trying to milk the controversy to fulfil their own agendas : can not be ruled out. Amidst this confusion, liberally peppered with allegations and counter-allegations, the Madras High Court deferred its order till Tuesday. That means the movie will be stopped from screening for at least the next two weeks. The court has also suggested that Kamal Haasan should engage with the group opposing the film and find an amicable way to deal with the issue. While we at Youthgossip condemn censorship of this kind in any context, we are curious to know what the outcome of this argument will be. And, of course, we look forward to watching Vishwaroopam, controversies and all! 
Juhi Chawla lends her voice to Om namo namah in Main Krishna Hoon The actor croons for a track in Main Krishna Hoon, and we think her voice sounds very sweet Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif will be seen doing a cameo in Main Krishna Hoon. But the real surprise package is that Juhi Chawla will be seen singing a track Om Namo Namah in the film. A devout Lord Krishna fan, Juhi is seen telling the kids to take the right path by exemplifying the Lords' characteristics. From the way she motivates the tiny tots to be naughty yet kindhearted like Krishna, to the manner she handles the whole house dexterously, Juhi seems to fit the role perfectly. Every word produces an extremely sweet and saccharine effect as Juhi sings Om namo namah with great conviction. Do listen to the track if you are a hardcore Juhi Chawla fan. And if you like to start your mornings with a soothing religious song, then you must definitely tune on to this one� 
Why does Bobby Deol feel like a stranger in Bollywood In his almost two decade long career, Bobby has more than 40 films to his credit as an actor. Then why does he still feel like a stranger in Bollywood? Born on January 27, 1967, Bobby Deol turned 46 on Sunday. Over the years, the Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 star has been known for his versatile acting and squeaky clean image as a married actor. Like his image, his movie titles also come across as quite clean except a few. When we convert these Hindi film titles into English, they don't remain clean any more (sorry Bobby!). And, as usual, the meaning and sense get lost in translation.
