Everyone from SRK, Salman, Aamir, Hrithik and Ajay Devgn are doing action films in 2011.
Shah Rukh Khan who has always been popular as the eternal romantic in Bollywood will be seen as an action hero or rather superhero in 2011. Both his releases in this year – Ra.One and Don 2 are action-packed entertainers. Aamir Khan might have done a Ghajini in between but he has always been more popular for his chocolate boy image. However even he has beefed up his body for the suspense-thriller to be directed by Reema Kagti. Salman Khan has reason enough to celebrate his topless appeal after the success of his actioners like Wanted and Dabangg which he will take forward with their sequels and films like Bodyguard .
So how come this sudden upsurge in action films in Bollywood in recent times? Action has always been a common genre in Hindi films but off late they have become very popular. While on one side we say that Hindi cinema is evolving with more sense and sensibility coming in storytelling, on the other hand masala entertainers and blatant hardcore action films are still a big hit amongst masses. So for every Taare Zameen Par , Aamir Khan attempts a Ghajini and Ajay Devgn alternates every Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji with Aakrosh . Even his comic legacy of Golmaal is spiced up with generous dose of action. In fact his next film with Rohit Shetty is a hardcore action film – the remake of South hit Singham starring Suriya.
South is a major inspiration when it comes to exaggeration in action. Their no-hold-barred stunt sequences, which till now seemed too overstated in Hindi films, are now common phenomena in Bollywood with remakes like Ghajini and Wanted making big money. That has made way for more South films and 2011 will see remakes of superhit south actioners like Singham, Bodyguard and Kick .
South films have always gone a step ahead whether in stunts or in SFX. The kind of action sequences that are choreographed for Rajinikanth's Robot is unmatchable and Bollywood is still making efforts to reach their standards. Shah Rukh Khan's Ra.One which has a suspiciously similar storyline like Rajinikanth's Robot also has the train action sequence similar to Robot for which apparently a two-kilometer chroma-screen was erected.
Also Shah Rukh has jumped down a 300 feet building in Don 2 and confessed that at his age it is physically taxing to do an as much demanding action film. Hrithik Roshan's road adventure flick Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara promises loads of thrills including Katrina's dirt-biking stunts, Abhay Deol's deep-sea diving and a bull-running match in Spain in the climax. Ajay Devgn's Singham and Salman Khan's Bodyguard will have raw action in the form of fist-fights and physical combats.
Priyadarshan's Tez starring Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgn and Mohanlal is an action adventure film about a man holding a speeding train between London and Glasgow to ransom. While that may sound suspiciously similar to films like The Bullet Train and The Taking Of Pelham 123 , Priyadarshan claims that Tezz resembles more to Keanu Reeves' Speed . Abbas-Mustan's Players which is remake of the Hollywood hit The Italian Job is an action-packed heist thriller. Real life lovers Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor will fight each other in Agent Vinod where director Sriram Raghavan wants to revive the charm of Bollywood spy drama of 70s like Farz and Aankhen but in contemporary context.
So, for a change, take a break from the feel-good genre and get ready to kick some butt in 2011. Bollywood is back in action!

First look at the ashutosh gowariker directed, Abhishek - Deepika starrer Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey. Ashutosh Gowariker Productions and PVR Pictures' Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey is slated for a worldwide release on 3rd December, 2010. “Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey is about the Chittagong Uprising of 1930.
‘Hisss’ will not only see our Desi bombshell Mallika Sjerawat going international but will also mark the debut of very talented Divya Dutta in Hollywood. While Mallika Sherawat plays the female lead as the snakewoman, Divya will be seen as Irrfan Khan’s love interest.
“It is one of the challenging roles I have received. I am really looking forward to it. I play Irrfan’s love interest, who is passionate as well as sensitive. The role is not cliched and has subtle things to portray. It is one of my best roles,” said Divya.
Her Hollywood set out does not end here as Divya has two more Hollywood projects in hand. One of them is Emmy winning director Fred Holmes’ “Heart Land” also starring Amelia Jackson Gray, Reg Grant and Stephan Mario Singh.
“‘Heart Land’ is a light hearted film in which I am playing a Punjabi girl. It deals with a sensitive relationship my character shares with a much older man from the US,” Divya reveals about her role in the film.
“People from the West are extremely passionate and disciplined about work. Everyone, from the junior level to the director, is so involved that we have no choice but to give our best,” she added.
as Director Kunal Kohli Wrote in his twitter page that, “He conducted ‘Havan’ at 7th March – 2010 for Deepika Padukone Bollywood Upcoming Movie in 2010 named ‘Break Ke Baad’ with Hot Deepika Padukone and Bollywood Serial Kisser Imran Khan. The shooting of the film will begin Monday.”
Above was the main Latest Deepika Padukone News but at now want to share some others which may be you heard before read here,
(1) Show stopper for designerduoShantanu & Nikhil’s show at the Lakme Fashion Week and Bollywood hot actress Deepika Padukone, who is blessed with a good figure, says she does not believe in being size zero as the Indian body type is not meant for it and for this topic in her latest interview she said that, “Correct me if I am wrong, but I personally feel that the Indian body type is not cut out to be size zero. I am not size zero and I don’t believe in that either. I believe that it’s nice to be little full and have a nice shape”
(2) Deepika Padukone recently released film ‘Karthik Calling Karthik’ is making waves among the viewers, for her striking performance. While the gal is very happy about the film’s outcome, looks like she has hardly any time to enjoy the success. Deepika Padukone as of now is busy with her next projects, both of which are poles apart.
(3) For Deepika Padukone Upcoming Movies in 2010 named “Khelenge Hum Jee Jaan Se”, in her Interview she dismisses the rumor of her playing a badminton player in this one and said that, “The film is a period one set in the 1930s and based on the Chittagong uprising. What role will a badminton player do in it?”
(4) IshQ Bector writes his own lyrics, composes the music, and edits his videos himself and affirms that he always had Deepika Padukone in mind when he was writing this song. He is all excited about approaching her with this dedication and request her to star in the video.
(5) Bollywood Khiladi Akshay Kumar and Hot Deepika who is Bollywood Upcoming Hindi Film Housefull co-star, had come to flag off the cars as they started their journey from Mumbai to Lavasa. Devieka Bhojwani, Tisca Chopra, Dipannita Sharma, mother-daughter duo of Ila and Ishitaa Arun, Adhuna Akhtar, Raageshwari and a host of men including Rahul Bose, Dino Morea, Mannish Goel, Pushtie, Hiten Tejwani, Rahul Roy and Luke Kenny were also present. As I read about Deepika Padukone Latest Interview online at this event, she said that, “It was amazing to see so many women come together to create awareness and raise funds for cancer patients and to also see cars full of women confidently drive up to Lavasa.”
(6) When Deepika was contacted whom she would prefer as her ideal date for her Valentine she excitingly answers up with glow in her face that it is Brad Pitt with whom she would like to date.
It is like Deepika is very much in Shahid Kapoor’s style ‘single and ready to mingle’. It seems she has left behind her painful past and back into her lively form.
She suggests for adventurous and interactive nights with her lover rather than formal ways of partying. She seems to gain much excitement in life.
Mischievously she replies, “I heard Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have split so Brad Pitt.” The girl ends up with her lovely trademark giggle.”

The trailer of Sanjay Gupta’s Acid Factory is out. Take a look.
What you notice is the presence of guns. Each character loves guns. Dia Mirza plays the femme fatale.
The film has been directed by first timer Suparn Verma and is loosely based on the Ocean’s 11 series. It promises top notch stunts and thrills and is touted to be technically spectacular.
The film has been shot extensively in South Africa. Dia Mirza worked out a little extra to get a lean look and Dino Morea has an Italian look in the film.
Dia, whose character has shades of grey in the movie, told the press while unveiling the first look of the film. 'An actor's body needs agility to carry off the action or stunt sequence convincingly. The body needs to be in optimum form. I trained to develop it before the film went on floors.'
It has been touted as Danny Denzongpa’s comeback. According to producer Sanjay Gupta who is a huge fan of Danny, “Danny Denzongpa is the best looking male member of the cast.”
Cast: Irrfan Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Lara Dutta, Om Puri, Rajpal Yadav, Asrani, Jason Mehta Directed by: Priyadarshan
Billo (Irrfan Khan) is the stubborn village barber who refuses to adapt to new fashions in the hair dressing world.
One day a film crew, including its superstar Sahil Khan, visits Billo's village to shoot a movie. When the villagers learn that Sahil was Billo's school friend, they give the barber the respect he craves.
But Billo is also unsure on meeting Sahil. Due to his superstar status he fears the star may not recognise him. After many unsuccessful attempts of getting in touch with Sahil, Billo gives up. He is branded a liar by the villagers and his family.
But all ends well when Sahil is invited to the village school function. He reveals his past to all present about a close friend he had at school who always stood by him in his hour of need.
Whether Sahil manages to meet Billo forms the climax of this comedy drama produced by Shah Rukh Khan.
Billo Barber is a remake of the Malayalam film Kadha Parayumbol and Tamil film, Kuselan. Irrfan Khan plays the lead role, while Shah Rukh Khan only has a minor part.
Directed by Priyadarshan, the film also features Om Puri, Rajpal Yadav and Asrani in supporting roles. Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone are also said to appear in song and dance numbers with Shah Rukh Khan.
As we had informed, so it happened. The much awaited song promo of Aditya Chopra's Shah Rukh Khan starrer, RAB NE BANA DI JODI, made a high profile appearance on Sunday, across all leading channels, to coincide with the superstar's birthday. And what a song and what a promo!
The teaser kickstarts with SRK in his common man look taking a bath under a tap, followed by his self cooked bread and butter breakfast, and not to mention that he even washes the plates! All the while, the superb harmonium rhythm accompanies the proceedings and finally the superlative number, 'Haule Haule' unfolds. The Sukhwinder–SRK magic is palpable once again. This is one number that we promise; even Shah Rukh Khan's adversaries will fall in love with! The simple melody is absolutely bewitching and the song takes the listeners in its grips, 'haule haule' (slowly). Yes, that's the beauty of the number. Initially, it does strike as just another sweet love song but slowly and surely it captures the heart! Jaideep Sahni as the lyricist strikes an instant cord with his simple but meaningful lyrics– 'Haule haule se hawa lagti hai, Haule haule se dawa lagti hai, Haule haule se dua lagti hai, Haule haule chanda badhta hai, Haule haule ghoonghat uthta hai, Haule haule se nasha chadhta hai!'
The debutant Anushka Sharma looking pretty in her usual simple 'salwar–suit', makes a brief appearance on a rickshaw. And she is there as the mesmerizing song ends which shows her applying colour ('gulal') to the bespectacled and moustached Shah Rukh Khan.
As the saying goes, well begun is half done! The RNBDJ song promo has received unanimous praise from all sections of the trade as well as the general paying public. So, with such a beautiful number first up we await even more eagerly for the launch of its much anticipated music album on 6th/7th November.
Few years ago, Shah Rukh Khan played the role of Veer in Yash Chopra's love story Veer-Zaara. Now Salman Khan is all set to star in an action film titled Veer.
The story of this film (directed by Anil Sharma) has been written by Salman himself and while we did show you some pics of the actor in his new look for Veer earlier, this picture gives you a clearer idea of what to expect from this flick.
Salman, who is always known for experimenting with his looks, is seen in a beefed up, bronzed look with unusually long hair. The actor is seen wearing a fur jacket and an ethnic neckpiece and kada (bangle) Also from the looks of it, Salman seems to be playing a warrior of another era given the fact that he is seen holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.
In the recent past, Abhishek Bachchan tried the 'superhero meets warrior' look in Drona but unfortunately the film sank without a trace. Will Sallu bhai be able to pull of this warrior act in Veer, one will have to wait and watch.
