Katrina Kaif not in 100-crore club, but still most bankable

 Along with Deepika, Katrina Kaif too is waiting to be in the list. Her 'Ek Tha Tiger' looks and sounds like a blockbuster.

 

Sonakshi Sinha with her Dabangg, and now Rowdy Rathore is also in the elite club.

 Priyanka Chopra is also there with her films Agneepath and Don 2.

 Asin does not take her inclusion in the elite club too seriously. She starred in Ghajini, Ready, Housefull 2 all of them were blockbusters.

 Expecting to join the gang soon. Her Cocktail and Race 2 got the potential.

 She is working with Shahrukh Khan in Yashraj's next and the movie stands a good chance at the BO. The feisty Anushka Sharma is also on for Aamir Khan's Peekay. Let's see when she makes to the elite club.

The Bollywood filmmakers swear by the KK factor, meaning Katrina Kaif. The actress has so far missed out on the 100-crore club, but still remains the most bankable actress, say filmmakers. So, what’s the secret behind Katrina’s success?

Katrina Kaif’s sweet demeanor and angelic beauty makes her a clear favourite among the fans. Her popularity also makes her the most searched star on google. Moreover, three upcoming films of her are with the Khans. So, what if her name is not in the 100-crore club!

Actresses Kareena Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Asin, and Priyanka Chopra are ruling the 100-crore club, but Katrina Kaif has to wait to be on the list. The trade analysts and filmmakers claim that the actress need not worry as she is still the most bankable star in Bollywood.

Director Kunal Kohli tells a daily that he wants to work with Katrina Kaif and finds her to be a good actress, while director Sujoy Ghosh says that the year can't get any bigger for Kat. Her Ek Tha Tiger with Salman Khan could be her first ticket to be a 100-crore girl and the expectations are also huge from her Yashraj’s next with Shahrukh Khan.

If actress Kareena Kapoor is extremely happy to be in the 100-crore club list, Asin does not take her inclusion in the elite club too seriously. Will Katrina Kaif enter the 100-crore club list with Ek Tha Tiger?

Bipasha Basu in sexy sari at IIFA Rocks 2012

Bipasha Basu was a head-turner on the green carpet at the IIFA Rocks event, part of the IIFA weekend in Singapore.

On the green carpet of the Esplanade concert hall, Bipasha Basu looked sexy in a Shivan & Narresh sari in shades of gray, black and white. The blouse that the bongshell wore was a small one, making her look hot without giving any vulgar look.

Bipasha herself spoke about the sari before stepping on the green carpet.

“Ready for IIFA rocks in a Shivan &Narresh outfit! Looking fwd to an eve of fashion n music!” Bipasha Basu wrote on Twitter.

The IIFA Rocks night saw a perfect blend of fashion and music with star-studded performances and ramp shows adding a dash of glamour to it. Designers Varun Bahl, Masaba Gupta and Suneet Verma showcased their collections with star showstoppers.

Soha Ali Khan shows off her killer abs on FHM

With royalty running in her blood, Soha Ali Khan admits she has princessly tantrums at times, but also believes that she doesn’t have a perfect bod. Is it so? After seeing the actress in her hottest ever photoshoot with FHM, there is little, perhaps nothing, to moan about her shapely figure. Jealousy runs deep!

It’s been really long since we saw Soha Ali Khan in a series of sexy images. Last we remember she stripped to sensuous lingerie to be the Maxim hottie, which also raised many eyebrows, as the media went to town reporting that Soha’s big brother Saif Ali Khan was not so pleased with her daring act. Well, if it was really so, then Saif now has another reason to be upset with the darling little sis.

Whatever the matter, the actress has tried to show herself in a new light, stripping down to fitness bare essentials and flashing her killer abs and curvy derriere. In a candid chat with FHM, she talks about her tantrums, saying that she’s quite a princess in real life and has no qualms behaving like one from time to time. At the same time, she is realistic about her career that never quite took off and her physical appearance which is not quite perfect.

She even reveals the secret behind her near-perfect bod, giving credit to “squats and yoga”. Being in a steady relationship with actor Kunal Khemu, the actress also talked about love and spouted the wisecrack, “long distance doesn’t work and neither do high-school romances.”

The hot cover has garnered a mix response as many are commenting on how hard she is trying to look hot, and some even saying that the cover looks photoshopped, while Soha’s fans have welcomed the cover.

Hazel Keech flaunts curves in the song ‘Aa Ante Amalapuram’ from 'Maximum'

You remember Hazel Keech as the lovely bespectacled friend of Kareena Kapoor in the blockbuster Bodyguard. However, this Brit hottie couldn’t refrain from being sexy on the silver screen. Hazel has sizzled to the peppy item song Aa Ante Amalapuram in the upcoming movie Maximum.

Originally from London, Hazel had a brief role in Tamil film Billa before she did Bodyguard, and now she has shot for the item number Aa Ante Amalapuram in the forthcoming movie Maximum starring Naseeruddin Shah, Sonu Sood and Neha Dhupia. The item track sung by Malathy has a mass appeal to it, but more than the song it’s Hazel who wows you with her sexy makeover.

The song is definitely helping her to earn fans, as she gyrates in a true desi style doing jhatka-matka and showing off ample curves. The spicy song indeed has a catchy tune, thanks to the music composer Devi Sri Prasad, whose super hit Telugu composition Ringa Ringa was made into Dhinka Chika in Bollywood.

Aa Ante Amalapuram is originally from the Telugu hit film Arya starring Allu Arjun. Sonu Sood, the producer of Maximum bought the rights of the song from the makers. The lyrics of the song also draw inspiration from the original. The meaning of Aa Ante Amalapuram is: “Aa means Amalapuram”; Amalapuram is a small town in Andhra Pradesh.

Hazel Keech even performed to this song at the just-concluded IIFA 2012. Along with Sonu Sood and Neha Dhupia, she rocked the IIFA stage.
