Asin roots herself in Bollywood?

Asin’s foray into Bollywood with the Hindi version Ghajini is expected to seal her fate in the Hindi filmdom. It is no secret that Asin nurses a strong desire to establish herself in Bollywood. While she is hoping for more Hindi films to come her way, Asin was initially touted to be cast with Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan in Vipul Shah’s London Dreams. When the industry was expecting a confirmation from credible sources regarding her position in this project, out of the blue comes the announcement that she would be cast alongside Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty in Aise Ko Taisa. Sources have it that most of the star cast in this film will be the same as Hera Pheri. And as like Hera Pheri, Aise Ko Taisa is slated to be a laugh riot.

Rocky’ to star in a Hindi film worth Rs. 90 crores

He immortalized the man with a will that could never be broken. He boxed his way into our hearts over a span of three decades as Rocky Balboa and now he is set to play a part in a Bollywood film. Many believe that he is an over the hill knight but they wouldn’t have watched this year’s Rambo or the final installment of Rocky that released in 2006. Getting Sylvester Stallone to act in a Hindi film is definitely one of the biggest casting coups that Bollywood has pulled off from Hollywood and we are not forgetting that Johnny Depp will be playing a role in Shantharam.

Sylvester Stallone has agreed to play himself in the movie titled Kambhakth Ishq. The movie will have Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor in the lead and will be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. Kambhakth Ishq is set to become the first Indian movie to be shot inside Universal Studios, as the entire story is set in Hollywood, with Akshay playing a professional stuntman.

The biggest thing about the movie is its budget that is set at Rs. 90 crores, a figure that exceeds Sivaji and Dasavatharam and unbelievably the producer has trusted a debutant director Sabir Khan to helm the project.
