    Saif Ali Khan gets fitter for Bullett Raja

    Bollywood’s leading actor and fitness freak, Saif Ali Khan is all geared up for his forthcoming film Bullett Raja which is all set to release on 29 November.

     

    Saif will be seen in a very raw and rustic avatar in the film. And for this look the actor has been working out real hard. Insiders say that the films script is very demanding in terms of action and all the sequences are done by Saif himself.

     

    When asked Saif about his fitness in Bullett Raja he said, “I wasn’t fit when I did the Race 2 run. I was okay but I am way fitter now and it looks different. If you are fit, your body language changes. You are more agile and the kind of action you do, particularly like in Bullett Raja, it’s incredibly physically demanding. It’s a great feeling when you are fit and you are looking good when they shoot you”

     

    With a customised workout regime the actor sports one of his best look on screen till date.

     

    Bullett Raja which is back dropped against a mafia based in Uttar Pradesh will be a complete action packed entertainer. Produced by Select Media & BrandSmith Motion Pictures the film also stars Jimmy Shergill, Vidyut Jamwal, Gulshan Grover, Raj Babbar and Chunky Pandey.

     

    So get ready to witness the bloody badlands of director Tigmanshu Dhulia as Bullet Raja releases this November.

  • Shraddha Kapoor replaces Priyanka Chopra in Milan Talkies

    Shraddha Kapoor replaces Priyanka Chopra in Milan Talkies

    Aashiqui 2 star Shraddha Kapoor is on cloud nine these days. Now in a position to pick and choose, Shraddha has just given the nod to Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Milan Talkies, thereby replacing Priyanka Chopra who was until recently, very excited about working with Tigmanshu.

     

    A source close to the project revealed, “After Bullett Raja where he has cast Saif and Sonakshi together for the first time, Tigmanshu and his producer Ekta Kapoor were keen to cast another untried pair in Milan Talkies. Imran and Priyanka made a lot of box-office sense together. But when Imran opted out and was replaced by Shahid Kapoor, Tigmanshu had no choice but to replace Priyanka since Shahid and Priyanka together after Teri Meri Kahaani spelt doom.”

     

    Shraddha, on the other hand, is felt to be the new rising female actor after Aashiqui 2. Both the male and female protagonist in Milan Talkies has equally powerful parts.

     

    A closed source says that after Aashiqui 2, Tigmanshu feels Shraddha can carry off the complex dramatic moments as well as the light-hearted interludes in Milan Talkies.

     

    As for Priyanka she seems to be gravitating towards the lighter fun parts after a series of heavyweight dramatic roles. A source close to Priyanka reveals that at present, Mary Kom is her only emotionally challenging role. Apart from that, Priyanka is looking for a change of mood after 7 Khoon Maaf, Barfi and Teri Meri Kahaani.
