Neha Dhupia plays Bollywood actress in US TV mini series

Actress Neha Dhupia will now be seen in a US television show 'Bollywood Hero' where she plays the role of a film heroine, who is known more for the controversies surrounding her rather than talent.

The show will be aired on IFC, an independent film channel. The three-part one-hour mini series will premiere on the US television on August 6 and Neha has been invited to be part of the premiere telecast.
Neha said her character 'Lalima' in the show is of an overbearing, typical Bollywood heroine who is known more for controversies than her acting skills.
"Its spoofy and comical. It also has elements like how talent does not always get priority in showbiz," she said.
Speaking on her films, the actress felt that 2008 was relatively a good year for her with release of films like 'Singh is Kinng', 'Dasvidaniya' and 'Maharathi'.
"Currently, I am shooting for five films- 'Raat Gayi Baat Gayi' with Rajat Kapur and Vinay Pathak, 'Action Replay' with Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai, 'De Dana Dan' with Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, 'Raftar' with Emraan Hashmi and 'Pappu cant dance Sala' with Vinay Pathak," she said.

Deepika shakes a leg for a special song in ‘Love4Ever’

Directed and produced by Jayant C Paranji, “Love4Ever’, which is coming up as a love subject has a special song where Bollywood heroine Deepika Padukune shook a leg. The song which goes like “Chak De Mahia… Needey Dunia…’ was choreographed under the direction of Ahmed Khan and was shot very recently. The speciality of the song is that it was shot with four cameras and one among them was used for close ups.
Speaking on the occasion, director cum producer Jayant says, “When we had thought of this song, Deepika struck in my mind. I immediately went to her and narrated the story. In fact, she is a busy heroine in Bollywood. However, as the story is quite interesting, she accepted my request and participated in the shooting. The song came out very well due to Deepika’s cooperation. We are expecting repeat audiences for the film due to this song exclusively. We made the film with a delicate point– When you want to do something do it immediately. This love story came out very interestingly. Music would remain a major asset for the flick. We will complete the shooting by August and are making efforts to release the film in September.’
