Kareena can pull off a bikini like nobody else
He speaks to Nithya Ramani about Kareena's outfits. Also check out how Shabina Khan dressed Kareena's co-star, Akshay Kumar, in the film.
Tell us about Kareena's look in the film.
Kareena wears 45 dresses with plenty of leg show, and 52 pairs of shoes, all with six inch heels. We have really pushed the envelope this time. She plays a surgeon, who moonlights as a supermodel. So her look was keeping her character in mind. She had to look hot.
I wanted to experiment with different looks on Kareena. This particular outfit is India's answer to Sarah Jessica Parker. It's one of my favourite looks. It's not filmi at all.
What you didn't know about Shah Rukh Khan
The new book is smaller, and costs only Rs 399. It is available in English, Hindi, Arabic, French and German languages.
Mushtaq tells Patcy N what to expect from the book, and also reveals some yet-unknown traits of Shah Rukh Khan. Over to him:
Was it necessary to write another book on Shah Rukh, after the thick, hard-bound Still Reading Khan?
I have known Shah Rukh for a long time. This book is about the journey of a man, who came with dreams in his heart. It wasn't a very plausible dream but he fulfilled it. And that's the most fascinating thing about him.
I personally wanted to understand the journey of the man and that was possible because of my proximity with him. I have met many actors and directors in my life but I felt Shah Rukh's life is very interesting and needed to be told.
Both the books are about the same man and the same life. Yet, they're very different from each other. Still Reading Khan is a coffee table book, where the emphasis was on photographs. That book is like a film; I told the story through pictures. But this time, I tell the story with words.
I've updated the new book with IPL 2, his new ads, and his films, Rab Ne Bana De Jodi and Billu.

Now, Ayan in Telugu
Tamil superstar Suriya is well known in Andhra Pradesh thanks to his movies being dubbed in Telugu. Some of these movies like Ghajini, Surya S/o Krishnan (Vaaranam Aayiram in Tamil) have done well here.
The latest film to be dubbed in Telugu is his super-hit Ayan, which releases on May 1 as Veedokkade. Ayan, produced by AVM, is a massive hit in Tamil Nadu, and is still running in theatres there.
Announcing this, producer M Saravanan, who was accompanied by Suriya and Tamannaah in Hyderabad said, "Veeduokkade will be released with 150 prints in 200 theatres in Andhra Pradesh. Suresh Productions has joined hands with us to release the Telugu version."
Amrita is very comfortable in a bikini
The stars of Sajid Nadiadwala's multi-starrer Kambakkht Ishq -- Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Amrita Arora, Sylvester Stallone, Denise Richards and Brandon Routh -- are looking very hot and glamorous in the film. And the designers must get some credit too.
Akki Narula designed Kareena's oomphy look, Shabina Khan gave Akshay, Stallone and Brandon macho looks, and Ashley Rebello gave Amrita Arora's her sexiest onscreen look so far.
Rebello, who had designed Amrita's wedding outfits as well, tells Nithya Ramani how he made Amrita look hot in a bikini.
Famous cricketer MS Dhoni-actress Lakshmi Rai link-ups
It looks like Bollywood's love affair with cricket is not limited to the ongoing Indian Premier League.
Rather, the players seem to be besotted to tinseltown's heroines -- or is it the other way around? Recently, there were reports of Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni dating south Indian actress Lakshmi Rai.
According to the grapevine, the model-turned Tamil actress met Dhoni when he was leading the Chennai Super Kings in last year's IPL matches, and the two have become an item.
Of course, Rai denied the rumours.
Like Dhoni and Rai, there have been quite a few link-ups in the past. We take a look at some of the recent and most prominent ones:
