Neha Dhupia "Bollywood Hero" Updates

Back in May I posted an entry about Bollywood actress Neha Dhupia being in an upcoming comedy miniseries titled "Bollywood Hero" for the Independent Film Channel starring Chris Kattan (Corky Romano).
Well from the looks of it, everyone else has caught up and announced it in the past few days...LOL

But the update part of this is that

1. Neha's character will be called "Lalima", and as Neha puts it herself, "My character is overbearing, typical Bollywood heroine who is known more for controversies than her acting skills."
"overbearing, typical Bollywood heroine"...that might not set too well with other Bollywood actresses!

2. The mini series will have cameos by Keanu Reeves and Drew Barrymore.

3. The show will be aired on IFC, an independent film channel from August 6 onwards.

And riding the hopefully good reviews of the mini series, Neha will have six movies coming out, "Paying Guest", "Pappu Can't Dance Sala", "Raftaar","Raat gayi baat gayi", "I'm 24" and "De Dhanadhan".

Juhi Chawla News

Bollywood producer, singer, actress and former Miss India 1984, Juhi Chawla, is certainly getting around these days.

She is being profiled on " Superstars Superlives" this week on ZoOM along with other Bollywood beauties Madhuri Dixit, Kajol Devgan and Rani Mukherjee.

Juhi was a judge on the reality dance show Jhalak Dikkhla Jha along with Saroj Khan and Vaibhavi Merchant.

Along with other Bollywood stars Preity Zinta, Shilpa Shetty, Arjun Rampal and Shahrukh Khan she is involved in the IPL (The Indian Premier League, a Twenty20 cricket competition).

And Juhi was in this years Luck By Chance, an Indian drama film written and directed by Zoya Akhtar.
Although critics mainly liked it, it didn't do too well at the box office.

But since 1986, she has been in almost 90 films. So I dont think one performing badly is going to hurt her much.
Besides the almost 90 films, she has produced three films, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (2000), Asoka (2001) and Chalte Chalte (2003).

Bollywood Actress Bipasha Basu News

Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu is all over the news these days.

First, she seems to be starting a trend by not wearing make up.
Actually Ameesha Patel started it first, but you know, I wonder how many Hollywood actresses could pull off the no make up look?

And Bipasha is playing Diva again.
At Thursday night's launch of Shiamak Davar's sports wear collection, she was a no show.
Even though Bipasha is the company's brand ambassador and she was in Mumbai.
Rumor has it that she didnt attend because Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan were also invited to the event, so she was afraid she wouldn't get solo media coverage there.
Of course Bipasha's spokesperson denied this.

Bipasha has several movies coming out this year including Aa Dekhen Zara (a romantic sci-fi action thriller movie), Pankh, Lamhaa, Sob Choritro Kalponik and Chaimera.

Here is a video from Aa Dekhen Zara:

Bollywood Actress Shilpa Shetty News

Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty will be marrying her fiance Raj Kumdra in October of this year, but until then, they are renovating a 5 million pound Surrey home at St George's Hill.
Shilpa seems to be getting into the country life, saying that she can't wait to start raising a family there.

The home isn't the only thing Shilpa and Raj co-own.
They are also co-owners of the Rajasthan Royals, a franchise cricket team that represents the state of Rajasthan in the IPL (Indian Premier League).
Last year, the Royals won the inaugural DLF IPL T-20 Tournament.
Of course Shilpa isn't the only Bollywood celeb to invest in the Twenty20 format of the game.
Shahrukh Khan, Juhi Chawla and Preity Zinta also have interests in the Twenty20 format.

Shilpa also has two movies coming out this year, "The Man" and "The Desire".
