The nexus between the film industry and flesh trade has been more like an open secret and while many have been doing things the ‘hush-hush’ manner, there are times when such things don’t stay as secrets anymore. Something like that seems to be the case even in this matter.

Grapevine says that one of the heroines who has got a fair amount of attention and recognition in the industry and among the audience has been earning more from ‘other’ activities than movies. Right now, her call sheets are being booked not by producers and directors but by ‘clients’.

All this is for having a ‘pleasure time’ with her and the person to have played a key role in this happens to be none other than her own aunt. It seems she has been coordinating things like a true professional and that way, the heroine has been spending her hours in ‘hot’ works.


We are improving: Indian coach

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 4:35 PM

Despite conceding all the matches so far in the championship, India’s Prashanti Singh exuded confidence of upstaging Japan and Thailand to prolong India’s sojourn in the premier league of the Asian cart. Echoing her, assistant coach Dinesh Mitchell maintained that India have improved by every match.

India’s strategy, said Mitchell after the 107-49 defeat, was to defend stodgily and prevent China from running away with a big lead.“They are good shooters, so we planned to defend solidly and make use of our speed on counter-attacks. But sometimes against big opponents, you get intimidated and lose your focus. It’s not possible overnight to gain experience and beat teams such as USA, Spain, China or Korea. We gave our 100 percent,” said Mitchell, who was rather skeptical of Shiba Maggon recovering from injury in time for the next match. Also, he argued that India have improved ever since he had taken over the reins as the assistant coach and was optimistic of India beating Japanand Thailand.“If I compare the team it was when I came and the team it is now, they are at two different ends. They are picking up steadily but they can do much better. I have seen them playing against Korea, Chinese Taipei, the match we almost won, and against China. So I have good feeling we could beat Thailand and Japan.”Again, salt was rubbed into India’s lack of international exposure. Pointed out Prashanti, “The Chinese and Koreans started playing practice matches by the time we started our camps, apart from their professional leagues. We played hard today and personally my shooting is better than before. Our performance is getting better and we can beat Thailand and Japan.”Chinese coach Sun Fengwu, satisfied with his side’s performance, said his team would carry forth the tempo to the semifinal and the final. “It was an improved Indian team. But we played excellent basketball. We have done everything well so far, and the key is to carry the momentum to the semifinal and final,” he said.

Neil's Nudescene to go Blurred?

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 10:53 AM

Madhur has decided to pixilate the hyped Neil Mukesh nude scene in Jail to avoid getting in trouble with the censors. After Madhur Bhandarkar faced flak from the censors for certain provocative scenes in Fashion, he has now decided to pixilate the much talked about Neil Nitin MukeshÂ’s nude scene in his forthcoming film Jail.Madhur took this decision at the edit table last week. One of MadhurÂ’s close aides said, "Madhur and his team felt that the scene was too blasphemous and its presence in the film would definitely land the film an A certificate. This time, he doesnÂ’t want that."Madhur was furious when the censor board had given an A to his last film, Fashion. "Jail has worked out well and Madhur is confident about its fate at the box-office.So he doesnÂ’t want to restrict the strength of his audience. Hence, he has decided to pixilate the scene. It will appear blurred, so the censors are unlikely to object to it," says MadhurÂ’s friend.Madhur Bhandarkar confirmed the story and said, "Yes, I have pixilated NeilÂ’s nude scene." Wonder if this makes self-regulation a fashionable trend?
