Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif, whose look inspired a Barbie doll, has now donned the looks of Cinderella and Red Riding Hood for a new ad. The 27-year-old has been signed as the ambassador of chocolate brand Choc On. In the ad campaign, she will be seen in three different looks — fairytale girl, Cinderella and Red Riding Hood.

Katrina Kaif, who has a svelte frame, says she loves gorging on chocolates. “Everyone loves chocolate and I am no exception. I am happy to endorse a chocolate brand,” Katrina said in a press statement. The commercial is based on the fusion of reality and fantasy, where Katrina witnesses a story of a fairytale-like character bringing Choc On chocolate and giving it to another angelic character.

“The idea is to engulf the viewer into the ultimate temptation for chocolate. With Katrina as the brand ambassador, the thought is to showcase the magic of Choc On to make dreams meet reality,” said Ricky Singh, who has produced the campaign under his banner Passion Films. The multimedia campaign, featuring Katrina, is estimated to be worth Rs.20 crore.

After a spate of South remakes, Bollywood seems to be turning its attention to foreign films for remakes and the latest news is that Bosco of the choreographer duo Bosco-Caesar fame will be directing the remake of a Korean film soon.

Sources claim that Imtiaz Ali’s wife Preeti, who heads production company PI Films, will be producing the film and that Katrina Kaif will probably be roped in to play the female lead in the film, which will be a remake of Korean flick My Girlfriend Is An Agent and will be titled 22 Tango. When contacted, Imtiaz Ali was quoted to have said, “There were talks of approaching Kat. However, I am not sure what is happening on that front currently.” Buzz also has it that Shahid Kapoor might be signed to star opposite Kaif.

However, when contacted, Katrina said that she does not know anything about such a film. Source

Salman Khan had a special date with Katrina Kaif on Sunday. But the superstar did not arrive on time. How did Katrina react?

According to a birdie that has been chirping non-stop about the rollicking friendship between Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, the two stars met for a ‘special date’ on Sunday and it would have been their first private outing since they broke up two years ago.

But the events of the day turned out such that Salman Khan couldn’t reach on time.

Here’s what happened on Sunday, April 1:

Salman Khan left his Galaxy apartment around 11 am and headed to a gift shop to buy something special for Katrina, a gift he had finalized in advance. However, once there, he was shocked to see Shahrukh Khan already inside the shop. Instead of barging in, Salman decided to wait outside but SRK took his sweet time bumming around in the shop, while Sallu, parked outside, fumed with rage and impatience. Finally, after about 40 mins when SRK walked out, Salman Khan ran in, picked the gift and off he went, obviously not without paying for it. More

After dabbling in action in the yet-to-release Ek Tha Tiger with Salman Khan, actress Katrina Kaif will prepare for another action innings, and this time it would be for Dhoom 3.

Not an easy task, but Katrina is game for it. The pretty girl will be seen in a role of a gymnast in the film, and to go by the reports, her action scenes in the film are almost at par with that of her co-star Aamir Khan. Being a stickler for perfection, Katrina Kaif is hell-bent to get it right and thus has hired an international fitness instructor to help her train for Dhoom 3.

Currently the trainer is with her in London, where she is shooting for her film with Shahrukh Khan. She reportedly trains for two hours every day to strengthen her core muscles and increase stamina and agility. She will be training for four months, post which Dhoom 3 goes on the floors.

However, when Katrina returns to Mumbai she has more task cut out for her. Kat’s personal trainer Yasmin Karachiwala has planned a new regime for her. She tells a daily, “Kat needs to get flexible and lean, so when she returns from London, we will change her workout routine…She doesn’t need to look thin, but lean.” More

It could be a role of a lifetime for Katrina Kaif if she accepts to play Mehrunissa. Director Nikhil Advani met her in London to convince her for the film which also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor.

Katrina Kaif has been waiting for a woman-oriented film which could give her a chance to prove her acting mettle. There was a buzz that the film might star Vidya Balan, Bollywood’s current sensation. But when director Nikhil Advani recently travelled straight to London to discuss Mehrunissa with Katrina, it was clear that the director is keen on Katrina for the challenging part of Mehrunissa. In the film, Kat will play Mehrunissa in two different time periods — at the age of 20, and again at the age of 62.

Katrina Kaif has also heard the script and would love to be a part of this big budget film, but she has her reservations. First, Katrina is skeptical to look elderly on the silver screen. Though the film has superstar Amitabh Bachchan and veteran actor Rishi Kapoor, Katrina has just a few scenes with them, while most of her scenes would be with the younger actors who would play the younger avatars of Big B and Rishi Kapoor.

Shahrukh Khan along with Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma has started shooting for Yash Chopra’s next romantic film in London from February 22, 2012.

The untitled movie will mark once again coming together of the award winning duo of music maestro A. R. Rahman and poet-lyricist Gulzar. The film is scheduled for a Diwali 2012 release, the festive time when Yash Chopra movies over the years have lit up homes worldwide.

As all eyes are set to have a glimpse of the much touted movie, the makers released a picture of Shahrukh and Katrina on the sets of London. And going by the first look (where Shahrukh is seen carrying a guitar and Katrina going all shy in the front of the Baadshah of romance) it quite reminds us of YRF’s immensely popular film DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAAYENGE (DDLJ).

We haven’t even stepped into March yet, but Katrina Kaif’s already dreaming about mangoes. Shooting in Cuba for Ek Tha Tiger, the diva just can’t wait to get her hands on some ripe Alphonsos, dieting be damned. As she explores the new land and its local cuisine after her shoot, Katrina reveals some food and diet secrets:

Nutri-care
I drink lots of water and eat balanced, nutritious meals and exercise to stay fit. I believe that eating nutritious food is very important and fruits form an important part of it. There are many dieting rules and one should figure out what works best for your body. Do not follow anything blindly or from reading books alone. Take professional help as well. I don’t like to eat everything together at meal times; so fruits act as good snacks in between main meals.

Fresh cut
I love mangoes and my favourite variety is Alphonso. Staying in Mumbai helps me get my fill of Alphonsos every season. I remember, during an ad campaign shoot, I had to pose with some freshly cut mangoes. I kept eating the mangoes and they had to keep replenishing them! But to tell you the truth, I like to make interesting mocktails with mango drinks. Fresh mint leaves and ice in a mango drink tastes divine. Also, mangoes make for just the perfect in-between-meal snack. Besides that, I like the simple yet cool and refreshing taste of dahi-chawal (rice with curd). More

It seems Katrina Kaif is not only in demand in Bollywood but also down south. Recently, it was heard that she might sign Kochadaiyaan with the superstar Rajinikanth, and now, reports suggests that she is approached for a film opposite the talented Kamal Haasan.

The actress is likely to be part of the project, titled Thalaivan Irukkindran, that will mark the return of the duo Aascar Ravichandran and Kamal Haasan, and the makers are keen to have Shankar as director for the magnum opus. Sources further add, “It looks like talks are on with A R Rahman as well to score the music for this larger-than-life movie.”

If all goes well then we might see the oh-so-beautiful Katrina Kaif with Kamal Haasan in this big budget Tamil film. But as for now talks are on with the actress, who is a bit tied up with two films: one is with Shahrukh Khan, while another one (read Dhoom 3) is with Aamir Khan.

After finishing his ambitious project Viswaroopam, Kamal is gearing up for Ravichandran’s film, which is also said to be the highest-budget film ever made in Tamil cinema. More

Agneepath is clearly emerging as the first blockbuster of the year 2012. After a slight dip in the collections on Friday, the film picked up well on Saturday and Sunday. Here’ the lowdown.

The film, starring Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt, Rishi Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra, opened to a thunderous start on the Republic Day, January 26, when it broke off all box office records for the first-day earning, by raking in a whopping Rs. 23 crore.

However, there was an alarming fall in the collections on Friday with the day bringing in just Rs. 12 crore into the film’s kitty. The response picked up on Saturday as the collections role to Rs. 14.5 crore. Sunday was still better with Rs. 17.5 crore.

Totting up the figures leaves us with an aggregate first weekend collection of Rs. 67.5 crore for Agneepath, which is quite good and justifies all the partying by the film’s actors to celebrate its success. More

Hrithik Roshan is all set to wear the shoes of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in front of the audience as his film Agneepath releases today. Sanjay Dutt’s look and Katrina Kaif’s Chikni Chameli act has also been the talk of town. Last but not the least, Priyanka Chopra is also expected to deliver her best. Overall, Karan Johar is ready to strike gold.

The King of Romance Shahrukh Khan may have romanced his heroines in many films, but this time he recreates the magic on the stage of Colors Screen Awards. Interestingly, Shahrukh kissed Katrina Kaif at the award function.

SRK’s performance with Katrina became one of the highlights of the super successful show. Katrina looked stunning in a pink sari while Shahrukh looked handsome in a black blazer.

Shahrukh also shook a leg with dhak dhak girl Madhuri Dixit and the ooh la la girl Vidya Balan. Source
