RDB & Nindy Kaur have taken over everything like there’s no tomorrow. It’s only a matter of time till little kids are taking lunch boxes to school that say ‘Aloo Chaat’ with a picture of RDB or their nominated for an MTV Music Award! Trust me, it’s RDB & Nindy Kaur – anything, and I mean anything, is possible. And they’ve shown just that; if you believe in what you’re most passionate about, you can achieve the impossible.

From touring across the world to four hit songs this year to performing at the biggest wedding in Bollywood, they’ve done that plus more! Now to me, their Kuly, Manj, Surj & Nindy; but to the rest of the world their idols, role models, and celebrities.

In between performing across India and preparing for the holidays, I had the pleasure (as always *wink wink*) to catch up with these amazing musicians for an exclusive interview. For your reading pleasure, I present, one final sit-down with RDB & Nindy Kaur before the New Year!

Wow, you guys have had one heck of a year. Tell us, what was your most memorable moment 2009?
Kuly: As always touring with my brothers and sister in-law…seeing the tracks we’ve been making really light up fans faces…you just cant beat that feeling.

Manj: It has to be touring with the whole family; this includes Anoop, my son. Every time we got onto stage he would just run on and take the show over…he’s absolute nutcase just like his parents…haha!

Surj: For me it has to be the tours in India. It was great fun, and met so many new people.

Nindy: Performances and video shoos are hand-in-hand for me. But I’m going with video shoots. We shot the video for my song Akhiyan…

You know me, I’m always at the latest Bollywood premiere, or interviewing with an amazing  & cool celeb! Recently I had the chance to attend a press conference for Akshay Kumar’s most long awaited film of 2009 — “Kambakht Ishq.” [Videos coming soon from the press conference ]

With a star-studded cast from Bollywood and Hollywood, there was no doubt that the amazing Sabbir Khan has done it again. Starring none other than Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor, including international stars like Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards, Brandon Routh and Holly Vancee…Khan has done what no Bollyoow director has done before.

He’s crossed borders, and we’re not talking about just filming in another country!

In March of 2008, Nadiadwala announced to the press that K.I.  “would be the first Indian film to be shot within Universal Studios.” From Universal Studios, and including amazing shots across Los Angeles, including the Kodak Theatre, the film crew moved to Venice, Italy and then Mumbai to complete the shoot!

Not only will this film take you on the journey of Kumar and Kapoor’s characters, but also a journey across the world!

Starring:
Irfan Khan – Billu
Lara Dutta – Bindiya
Shahrukh Khan – Sahir Khan

Special Appearance: Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor

Director: PriyaDarshan

Production House: Red Chillie Entertainment 

One of the most ancipated movies of 2009, hands down, was Shahrukh Khan’s Billu Barber, (which apparently has been changed to Billu because of certain caste issues in India – but we’ll save that for another time).

I just got back from watching Billu Barber, and I thought that is was a good movie! Production house, Red Chillies Entertainment, took it upon themselves to remake another film. Undoubtedly, the star of the film, is ‘Billu,’ played by Irfan Khan (Slumdog Millionaire). Irfan gives an amazing performance as he Billu, a village barber, who is trying to make ends meet for his family. Lara Dutta plays the charater of ‘Bindiya,’ Billu’s wife. Dutta’s acting is applaudable, as it show’s that she’s able to play fun and carefree roles (such as Partner and Masti) but also serious/motherly roles such as her dipiction in Billu Barber. Actresses Deepika, Priyanka, and Kareena also make guest appearences in three different ‘item songs,’ throughout the film. 

Billu’s character is finding it hard to run is barber business as he doesn’t get enough customers throughout the day to pay for milk or bread. On top of that, he has the issue of paying for his childrens’ education. If that wasn’t enough for him to deal with, all of a sudden superstar Sahir Khan (played by Shahrukh) enters the village to shoot parts of his next movie.

Akshay Kumar might be the current “King” of Bollywood, but it looks like Shahrukh Khan has got something different up his sleeves! He’s seem to take the item song throne competition to the max. Move over Rakhi Sawant because SRK is on the prowl and snagging item songs left and right!

In this latest home production “Billo Barber” he’s got a few sizzling item numbers with some hot ladies like Kareena Kapoor in the song “Marjaani.”

In a press conference SRK said, “All the songs have been made in the same way as one would expect in a Hindi movie, so the song ‘Marjanni’ is done with lots of dancers and then shouts of ‘Marjaani’ which is a bit Punjabi and Sufi-ish, if I might say so but has more of a Punjabi beat to it.”

Drop me a line at mona.bravura@gmail.com and tell me what you think of SRK’s latest item songs

And you know…I just thought of something… SRK is doing one hell of a number with the love Priyanka Chopra…so in the meantime…why don’t you oogle over this picture and we’ll bring you the video a little bit later…haha!

It seems like now-a-days everyone wants to jump on the Bollywood-bandwagon of looking hot and well…thin!

Actress Kareena Kapoor has always been a head-turner, but in 2008, she made waves with her hot, sexy, and brand new body for the movie “Tashan.”

Kapoor’s new lean and slim body quickly became the cause of much rumor and gossip amongst females and especially young teenagers – in all honestly, who doesn’t want a body like Kareena?!

Once a couple creates brilliant on-screen chemistry, the paparazzi is always the first to stat rumors that something is happening between the co-stars in real life. Yes, there’ve been times when these on-screen romances turn into off-screen ones, but most of the time the actors remain as “just good friends.” With 2009 coming in a few weeks, I thought it’d be nice to look at some of the most “talked about” couples…on and off screen!

We told you that Kareena Kapoor is going to be the new face for “Kurkure” so here we are with the official commercial as Godmother Ila Arun turns our lovely Kareena into a Desi-Cinderella! Let me know what you think about the commercial: mona.bravura@gmail.com!

Happy Eating…!

When it comes to endoring a product, major companies always turn to Bollywood celebs as their marketing gurus! Actress Kareena Kapoor has been brought onboard as the new face for PepsiCo Snack Foods product Kurkure. Before Kareena was brought into the picture, Kurkure has always been linked with actress Juhi Chawla for more than five years, (for video continue reading…)!

MUSIC MOGULS ANU MALIK AND RISHI RICH JOIN FORCES FOR BOLLYWOOD BLOCKBUSTER!

Bollywood’s legendry music director Anu Malik and UK’s all time hottest producer Rishi Rich come together for blockbuster movie featuring Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor!

The leading man in music Anu Malik has enlisted the talented production skills of Rishi Rich for his next forthcoming blockbuster ‘Kambakht Ishq’ featuring superstars Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor.

Anu Malik has spent the last few weeks flying back and forth from Mumbai and Rishi’s studio in London to create one of the biggest bollywood tracks this season.  The connoisseurs of music announced the big news at Tiffin Beats, a Rishi Rich Productions regular night at the Tiffin Bites restaurant.

This ground-breaking east meets west collaboration will not only bring the two world’s together but Rishi Rich’s very own artist Veronica and upcoming new UK artist Navin Kundra will be singing the vocals for two of the biggest names in the industry – Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Kumar.

Sitting alongside Rishi Rich in the restaurant’s exclusive VIP area, Anu revealed he was a fan of Veronica’s vocals since her success with Bollywood hits such as title track ‘Hum Tum’ and ‘Dil Legaya’ from Kya Kool Hain Hum.

“I’ve been looking to work with Rishi for a long time now” said Malik. “I feel this the beginning of something very exciting and I’m looking forward to working with him on my future projects. I heard he’s the best in the business and now I know he is. I can’t wait for the world to hear what we’ve got for them.”

Rishi also confirmed this is the beginning of many successful productions to come. “It’s a great honor to work with one the most highly regarded music directors in the Bollywood film industry. Anu and I are on…

Having graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts Graduate Film Program, writer and director Manish Acharya is a multiple award winner. But what’s even cooler is that in addition to an MFA in Film Directing, Manish also has degrees in Physics and Industrial Relations! Before attending NYU, Acharya was the founding member of a successful software company that went public in 1998. Who would’ve thought that!

It was at NYU, that Manish directed three short films. One film Partner (2001) was awarded the Carl Lerner Award for a Film with Social Significance, as well as multiple awards for acting and editing.

Check out the commercial Kareena Kapooor did for Anne French!
