In the past Lara Dutta had said : “I am glamorous by default”. Who will believe this statement came from Lara Dutta, the beauty who has swept many men off their feet.

Her killer figure never goes out of shape because Lara’s weight hardly fluctuates. The lady successfully maintains her weight at 58 kilos. And David Dhawan who has directed her in the upcoming film Do Knot Disturb, is so impressed and amazed by her that he has started calling her Perfect Miss 58, as revealed by the sources.

No wonder Lara’s bikini look in the underwater adventure thriller Blue has got many guys swooning.

It is rumoured that celebrity fitness guru Dianne Pandey is responsible for Lara’s sexy body in the movie. To acquire that hot bod, Lara even gave up her favourite hobby, horse riding, and took to swimming and scuba diving like a fish takes to water.  Source

The most awaited film ‘BLUE’ captures the fast paced action, above and below the ocean as never seen before on Indian Cinema. And when you talk of a film based on underwater sequences, how can you miss out on the most adorable sea animals– the dolphins? The audiences will get to see Sanjay Dutt and Lara Dutta cavorting delightfully with the sea creatures in a romantic song ‘Aaj Dil Gustak Hai’ in the film.

Says director Anthony, “It was very difficult to shoot with the wild spotted dolphins and we had to travel overnight to Bimini to shoot with them. It was well worth all the efforts, as the outcome was spectacular! We were extremely lucky to find a cluster of them and the delightful tricks, which the dolphins learnt especially for the song, make for a visual treat.”

Slated to hit the theatres on 16th Oct ‘09, this oceanic spectacle features Bollywood stars like Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Zayed Khan, Rahul Dev and Katrina Kaif. Dr. A R Rahman has composed the tracks for the film with the winning combination of Resul Pookuty engineering the sound.  More

Bollywood babe, the sexy and scintillating Lara Dutta is all set to do the next project of Yash Raj films. The project is yet untitled but the actress is working hard to get the glam and size zero look for the film.

As per the sources, “Lara will be wearing a bikini in the film for which she has been working hard to get the very slim figure.”

“The pretty lass is on a strict diet and had been hitting gym regularly. She is also taking the yoga way to get into right shape. For now nothing has been known about the story line of the film as the production is very tight lipped about it,” adds the source. So is she inspired by Kareena in Tashan? Well seeing is believing, so we will have to wait up until Lara actually dons a sizzling two-piece. Source

Former Miss Universe, Lara Dutta who will be seen in a complete de-glamourised look in her next film Billu Barber, is back to her hot self in the February edition of the magazine.

The pretty actress is at her sensuous best in the black and red coloured swimwear she sports. Lara is at present carrying a short hair cut which suits her appearance. This is Lara’s second Maxim photo shoot.

Lara is now looking forward to the release of Billu Barber opposite Irrfan Khan where she plays a village woman married to a barber. She will also be seen in Blue and the Salman Khan-Ajay Devgan starrer London Dreams. Source

Earlier Lara Dutta and Dino Morea used to see each other a lot. The old lovers again happened to cross one another’s road at Shahrukh Khan’s bash. Shahrukh and Gauri had thrown a party at Mannat, last week. Present on the occasion was Dino Morea and his ex beau Lara Dutta. When Lara saw Dino getting closer to designer Nandita Mahtani, she left the party and Dino followed her.

A source present at the event reveals, “Lara, Dino, Preity, Ness, and Nandita were all seen having a conversation. Later, Preity and Ness started mingling with other guests and the trio was left to themselves. Dino and Nandita were in the chatty mode, and were seen joking and laughing. It was obvious that Lara wasn’t too comfortable with her beau’s ex around.”

Apparently at one point, Lara saw Nandita sitting on Dino’s lap and she lost her patience and left the party. On seeing her leave, Morea too excused himself and followed her. A source close to the couple admits, “Yes, they had a tiff over Nandy but they talked and things are fine now.” Source

Lara Dutta is no more trusting in the Bollywood scripts. She has herself made her mind to write a script.

“What prompted me to write a script for myself? Scriptwriters in Bollywood aren’t writing anything in depth for a woman. Invariably the scripts glorify the hero while the heroine is the love interest. And the women-oriented films are half-baked attempts at feminist statements. Both to me are uninspiring,” Lara said.

So will she take to direction as well?

“No I’m not ready to direct yet. And I can’t wait to start my film. I’ve done two drafts. And I think it needs one more draft, then I’m ready,” she said.

But, interestingly, Lara hasn’t written a woman-oriented film.

“It has equal space for the male and female protagonists. It’s not one of those feminist, in-your-face women’s films. The male lead will have a lot to contribute to my film.”

And, yes, Lara will produce the film. “We start soon. It will be a very commercial film. And I can’t wait.” The former Miss Universe refused to reveal if Dino Morea, with whom she is linked, will play the lead in her film. More

Abu Dhabi is like a lucky mascot as my last release also had many portions shot here and it turned out to be a super-hit. We have been shooting at the Emirates Palace hotel and you just got to see the hotel to believe how wonderful it is. Abu Dhabi has become the new Switzerland.” says Lara Dutta.

Lara Dutta has recently been lending her voice to the animation film Jumbo:

“Yes it is true that I have dubbed for Jumbo,” she explains, “Akshay Kumar asked me to see the film and then decide if I wanted to do it. I saw it and thought that it was a very sweet film. So, I dubbed for it. Jumbo is my gift to my junior audience. It is my first animation film and so I did not want to charge for it.”

Lara is one of the busiest actors in Bollywood at the moment. She is said to look simply ravishing in Blue and she also has lined up and of course Billo Barber. Economics graduate, former Miss Universe, this is one girl who knows how to live life to the full! Source

Shri Astavinayak Cine Vision have got Hollywood make up artist Nikoletta Skarlatos to do Lara Dutta’s make up in the film Blue. Nikoletta has worked on Hollywood blockbuster films like Transformers and also was responsible for Keira Knightley’s look in Pirates of the Caribbean.

When contacted, Lara said, “The film required a make up artist who could handle make up for under water sequences as well as special effects for the action sequences. We also wanted someone who could give me a glamorous but natural beach look. Nikoletta Skarlatos was recommended by the film’s international action team. She and Clarabelle Saldhana have put together my look. They have done an amazing job and I am thrilled with the results.”

Commenting on her experience of working with Nikoletta, Lara added, “Working with Nikoletta was fantastic. Their techniques are far advanced and I picked up a lot of make up tips. She is particularly good with underwater make-up. And having spent so much of time on the sets, she is now a great fan of Hindi films. I gifted her a few Hindi film DVDs.” Source

Lara Dutta has accepted SRK’s forthcoming film which is produced by his home production Red Chillies Ent. Actresses like Tabu and Amisha refused to be part of the film as the length of that character was too small. However Priyadarshan who had already worked with Lara asked her about this role and she agreed to do it. Lara has been paired opposite Irrfan Khan.

Apparently this might have made SRK feel good about Lara who agreed to do the film when other actresses had refused. A unit hand informs that SRK took special care of Lara. The shoot of Billoo Barber happened at Pollachi, a small town in Tamil Nadu. The film has been shot in a remote area where the stars couldn’t enjoy the five star facilities. However it is believed that SRK personally took responsibility of arranging a decent and rather comfortable stay for Lara.

“Lara’s sporty attitude overwhelmed SRK. He made arrangements for her stay. The old farm was converted into a specious South Indian home,” says a unit hand. Apparently Lara never complained about anything rather she enjoyed shooting in the remote area. It is believed that she came across huge snakes and had to travel in tractors to the location. Source

The sensuous actress Lara Dutta has turned scriptwriter so that she can show off her acting capabilities according to her convenience.

Lara has said that she never seems to get the serious roles and her fans are not getting to see the actress behind all the sex… it is because of this that she has decided to write the perfect script for herself. The script is all but complete and she is now on the lookout for a director. As expected she will finance the film herself.

When asked why she doesn’t take the helm of director herself, Lara responds, “No I’m not ready to direct yet. I’ve completed two drafts, and I think it needs one more draft and then I’ll be ready. Scriptwriters in Bollywood aren’t writing anything in-depth for women. Invariably, the scripts glorify the hero while the lead actress only remains his love interest. And the women-oriented films are half-baked attempts at feminist statements. Both are uninspiring to me.”

Lara has also stated that the film will be a commercial entertainer and not an arty drama. Shooting will begin as soon as a director is in place. Source
