May 22, 2013, (Sawfnews.com) – Television turned Bollywood actress Karishma Tanna is paired with Vivek Oberoi in Ashok Thakeria and Indra Kumar’s Grand Masti, a sequel to the 2004 hit Masti.

The gorgeous Karishma has the strapping of a supermodel – she is curvy, svelte and tall. At 5-ft 8-in she is just 2-in shorter than the hunky and tall Vivek. That works, but only if she doesn’t wear heels!
So, director Indra Kumar and the styling team have mandated that Karishma wear flats in all her scenes with Vivek!
Karishma, who loves wearing heels, initially protested but later ‘sportingly’ accepted the restriction. (The fear of losing a paycheck, we are thinking, tends to make you ‘sporting!’)
May 22, 2013, (Sawfnews.com) – The very well endowed Puja Gupta says she won’t wear a bikini in her future films…but you grab that towel and wipe the drool off your face, because she isn’t suggesting that she is going to bare it all!

We don’t know about Puja, but the censor board will have a problem with her prancing around naked in a film!
Puja appeared in bikini in her last two films – Faltu and Go Goa Gone, and is now all set to bust out in Susi Ganesh’s ‘Shortcut Romeo.’
But that will be the last, or so she says.
“I have decided that I’m not going to wear a bikini in my films again. Also, I have decided not to shoot in Goa and Mauritius anymore. I have done that so much that now I’m fed up of these places and want to explore”.
Shortcut Romeo, headlining Neil Nitin Mukesh and Ameesha Patel, is the remake of Susi Ganesan’s Tamil film, Thiruttu Payale (2006) based on a real life experience.
Neil Nitin Mukesh and Ameesha Patel will play characters with grey shades (No, not the type you wear on the eyes!). Neil plays a goon while Ameesha plays a rich girl.
Puja Gupta, we think, will just play her hotness in the film.
May 21, 2013, (Sawfnews.com) – South star Asin has now shifted base to Mumbai, having established herself in Bollywood, but Mumbai isn’t close to Asin’s heart; Delhi is the shity city she loves!

So far, whenever Asin has visited the capital, it has always been for a shoot. The actress is keen to explore in her own time the city with so much of history (Mughal, not rape).
Asin says, “I would love to come here more often. I love the space and greenery here. It gives a huge sense of liberation when you land here from Mumbai. Also the food here is great. I have a lot of friends here who keep telling me about Delhi. I would surely like to explore it more.”

A source told Us Magazine that a friend drove Stewart to Swift’s home.
Stewart and Swift are not known to be friends, but they have a common friend – Taylor Lautner.
Several news outlets reported on May 18, 2013 that Stewart, 23, and Pattinson, 27, had split.
On Sunday, May 19 Pattinson was seen carting away his belongings and dogs in his pickup truck from Stewart’s LA home.
Stewart and Pattinson started dating in February 2010. Ironically, they never publicly acknowledged their relationship till July 2012, when Kristen was photographed in a series of make-out sessions with married Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. Kristen issued a public apology over the incident, admitting that she had hurt the “person I love and respect the most, Rob.”
Following the cheating scandal, Pattinson and Stewart both moved out of Pattinson’s house in LA that they shared as a couple.
After nearly two months of estrangement, they met in LA over the weekend of September 15 and began spending more and more time together.
May 21, 2013, (Sawfnews.com) – Sunny Deol’s Ghayal Returns, the sequel to the 1990 blockbuster Ghayal, is back on track; pre-production is nearing completion and the film is being targeted for release next summer.

The sequel’s story starts where Ghayal ended – with Sunny’s character wrongly implicated in the murder of his brother and jailed.
The script has been locked and the dialogues are now being penned, says Sunny Deol.
“I am working on the technicalities and it should be out by June next year,” he adds.
Elaborating on the premise of the sequel, Sunny explains, “Ghayal was about a character, so we are now taking the character ahead. He was in jail and now it has been over 20 years since. He will come out (of jail) and what he will be doing, will be the story.”
“How he deals with different situations in different ways, so the story will continue from where we left ‘Ghayal’,” he added.
Ghayal Returns was announced in June 2011 and simultaneously a teaser promo released, but the project hit a roadblock when director Ashwini Chaudhury and Sunny Deol developed differences.
Sunny then brought Rahul Rawail on board, with whom he had worked in Betab and Arjun Pandit.
Rawail trashed Chaudhury’s script and wrote a new one from scratch, which took a while.
Filming will start in 2013. While Sunny is confirmed as the male lead, the rest of the cast is yet to be announced. Vidya Balan and Bipasha Basu were rumored to be in the reckoning at different points of time in 2012.
