Review Akki-TwinkleAkki-Twinkle"

Akshay Kumar might scream hoarse that he is not an MCP and has no problems about wife Twinkle continuing her acting career.

Then you hear of Twinkle’s decision to look for an alternate career.

You also hear that she has walked out of the one and only film, Awaara Pagal Deewana, the Firoz Nadiadwala film that she was costarring with hubby.

The reason being given? She is pregnant, she does not want to delay the project.

Now, a source close to the producer has a different take: Possible, the news of the pregnancy could be true. But then, Twinkle's role also required her to wear skimpy clothes.

Ergo. Husband says no?

Sush and Sanjay back!

Sanjay Narang smartly averted what could have been spiltsville for his romance with Sushmita Sen.

Sushmita Sen The two were to fly down to South Africa where Sushmita was to attend a press meet to announce the India International Film Awards.

Sushmita decided, at the last minute, to take her photographer friend along as her escort. And the lovers had a tiff.

Now we hear that the two are back, as loverlike as ever.

What actually helped the patch up was Sushmita’s insecurity. No sooner did she fly out of the country than a leading heroine was said to have begun weaving her charms on Sushmita’s loverboy.

And before Sanjay could react, Sushmita was back in his arms….

Buzz: Lagaan will be a hit

So Aamir Khan, true to his word, held a special preview of his Lagaan for his all-India distributors.

Aamir Khan After they watched the film, the distributors had a long chat with Aamir over dinner.

The report was unanimous: the film is a surefire hit. The film is said to be long, but none of the distributors felt that Aamir should trim the film.

What is appealed to them is the manner in which Aamir has planned and executed the publicity of the film: Phasing the songs of the film, one by one, has met with rich dividends and the tracks have soared up the popularity charts.

For Sonu, safety is in numbers!

Sonu Nigam Just a few days ago, Sonu Nigam was unsure about debuting in front of the camera.

But a week after the mahurat of his film, directed by Ravindra Peepat, opposite Juhi Babbar, Sonu Nigam signed up to play one of the leads in Raj Kumar Kohli's film, which has about nine or ten heroes.

The reason behind this decision? A vague smile and a let's-see-what-happens kind of look.
