Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are all set to set the silver screen on fire with ‘longest Kissing scene’ in Bollywood history in their upcoming flick ‘Qurbaan’. And no prizes for guessing that the sequence would be as natural as possible given that the couple are madly in love with each other.

Their chemistry is so good that debutant director Rensil D’Silva is worried that the scene might overshadow the core content of the film – the storyline of a terrorist’s journey to atonement.

However, there is little the director could do as according to him the scene is absolutely necessary to the storyline even though its explicitness may cause a furor in a country where even talking about sex is still a taboo. Sometimes scenes that turned out to be great don’t necessarily make the director a happy person as is the case with this kissing sequence.

Asked about the prospect of breaking the record for the longest kissing sequence in Hindi films, held currently by Aamir Khan and Karishma Kapoor in Raja Hindustani, Rensil quipped ‘I don’t know, I wasn’t clocking the kiss or the length of the love making scene’ and I haven’t watched ‘Raja Hindustani’ either.

He also told that he knew Saif and Kareena as good professionals and that the scene came out so well because of their ‘comfort’ level.

What if some people choose to watch the film just for the scene? Though it won’t make a difference to the producers, Rensil feels it would be tragic’.

So how did he shoot the scene? Not surprisingly, the director and the cameraman are the only crew besides the actors to be present at the shoot. Rensil had an aesthetic experience shooting the scene and hopes that the audiences will go through the same experience.

However, Defence Lawyer Ranbir Singh says his clients would file an appeal in a higher court.

"At this stage I don't want to comment on this verdict as the final order has not come. One more option is left with the accused, they do not have a criminal background. We will definitely go and appeal," he said.

The victim, 17, a student of a Delhi University, had gone with her friend to the park - which is situated near Rashtrapati Bhavan - on October 6, 2003. It was here that she was raped by Harpreet and Satender while the other two accused, Kuldeep and Manish, kept guard.

Out of four convicts, Satender and Harpeet have been convicted of gang rape, abduction and robbery. The other two, Kuldeep and Manish, have been acquitted of the gangrape charge but convicted for abduction, robbery and common intention.

Grandfather of the accused Satinder, Ganpat Singh,says he will accept the court's judgment. "If the court has deemed him guilty then he is guilty. I don't feel bad about this at all," he said.

Manish's lawyer, Maninder Singh claims the case against his client was full of discrepancies.

"There were lots of discrepancies in the case. As far as Manish is concerned the boyfriend failed to identify him also the blood test and serum reports were negative," he said.

The sensational incident shocked the Capital six years ago and the four security guards of the President's Bodyguards Group were booked for gangrape and abduction in the case.

The quantum of sentence will be announced on August 22, 2009.

The Telugu film industry has often been known for its expanding members and the increasing standards in its film making technology. But now, a new aspect has joined it and this could be a disgrace of sorts. Apparently, it is being said that the rate of ‘illegal affairs’ has been on the rise in the Telugu film land.

The issue has been on the focus since the past some time and now it is said to be taking an alarming shape. It is said that many such things are happening in the disguise of family friends and cousins. Notable among them are the extra marital affairs that members from the fraternity have been having and maintaining.

Recently, one of the ladies was asked if that was not wrong. For this, she reacted stating that there is nothing wrong in having such relationships. She also said that making love with someone else is nothing wrong at all and that is the highest form of expression of affection. She also recalled how few of her friends also don’t mind their hubbies indulging with other women as long as the family life and the lives of their children don’t get affected. The lady also went on to explain about the olden days and how men used to have many women etc.

While this sort of thing is being deemed as a broad mindedness from their angle, the truth is many from outside feel that there is a terrible angle of perversion which is crossing all barriers of morality and ethics in terms of human relationships.

Surprisingly, the attitude seems to be the same for the male folk as well as they are not too keen on taking this personally and feel possessive about their ladies sleeping around and sharing themselves. While some say that it is a norm to survive in the circuit, others say that it is a way to ensure that certain favors and works can be done.

Interestingly, apart from these two glamour girls, the makers are still on the search for the main heroine whose character will appear in the second half. This character is very relevant to the story and will supposedly make a huge difference. Anushka, Bhumika, Sneha, Priyamani are some of the possible choices given their experience in doing such strong roles. Let’s see who gets to bag this prestigious role!

The buxom beauty Priyamani who has been busy with her many movie assignments also makes it to the gossip headlines on and off. Sometime back, it was her bikini act which scorched the screens and since then she has come more under the scanner.

Apparently, Mani believes that if someone is taking their time out and talking about you, it only goes to show how popular one is. The good side of this is, many have been comparing Priyamani to the late Soundarya and see her as a replacement.

She is known as the milk white beauty of the southern circuit and has got a strong following in Telugu as she made her debut here. She is none other than Tamanna and right now she is busy with her assignments in Kollywood. However, there is news that she is now beginning to focus on Telugu once again and is said to be keen on scoring another hit here.

Her last best was ‘Happy Days’ and right now, she has been riding high with successes in Kollywood. Many of Tamannah’s fans have been missing her here and they are waiting to see her back on the Telugu screens. Only time will tell what her moves are going to be like.
