Mumbai, April 9 (Ians) Bollywood actor Aditya Roy Kapur, who believes in following a strict diet regime and healthy lifestyle, shared how he used to gorge on a half kg ice cream tub in one go without any hesitation on his cheat day.

He said: “Most of the time, I follow a diet so when it comes to enjoying food, one should make use of the cheat meal. There is no use enjoying one or two scoops of ice cream. And ice cream is literally like air.”

Aditya, who started his acting career in 2009 with the movie ‘London Dreams’, rose to fame with ‘Aashiqui 2’ in 2013 and also acted in the romantic comedy ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ followed by ‘Daawat-e-Ishq’, ‘Fitoor’, ‘Ok Jaanu’, and ‘Kalank’, ‘Ludo’ and was also seen in the web series ‘The Night Manager’.

He shared some fitness tips on Kapil’s show as he spoke about his...

Parineeti Chopra's confessions of her depression phase in life have gone viral. The actress recently described the phase as the "worst time of her life", and said she went into a shell.

"The end of 2014 and all of 2015 - those one-and-a-half years were truly the worst time in my life. Two of my films 'Daawat-e-Ishq' and 'Kill Dil' did not work. That was my first setback. They released back-to-back and didn't work," she said.

"Then, I went through a big heartbreak in life. Literally, all the departments in my life were down. (there was) Nothing positive to look forward to," she said, in an interview while promoting her new film, "Jabariya Jodi", adding: "I went into a shell. I stopped eating, I stopped sleeping well. I did not have any friends at that time.

Pakistani musician and actor Ali Zafar made his Bollywood debut with Tere Bin Laden in the year 2010 and was even nominated for Filmfare award. Years later, time has come when his younger brother Danyal Zafar is all set for his Bollywood debut. Danyal Zafar is a musician in Pakistan who will be making his debut with Yash Raj Films banner. It has been reported that the newbie will be launched alongside five other newcomers. Out of the five newcomers, two are foreigners and one is a girl from the north-east. The film will revolve around a band formed by convicts. Danyal will be seen playing the romantic lead in the movie. The role is apt for him because he is a musician in real life as well. The untitled film will be helmed by Habib Faisal who last directed Parineeti Chopra- Aditya Roy Kapur starrer, Daawat-e-Ishq. The cast will...

Before your imagination starts running wild, let us put it straight that we are talking about the bubbly and bindaas Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra losing her weight.

Though she has always maintained that her weight has never made her conscious and she is proud of the way she is, the pretty actress, who was looking all golu-polu post her last film Daawat-e-ishq seems to have lost those extra pounds. Pari had shared a few of her photos from the Iifa 2015 event in which she was looking relatively thin.

If we go to compare both the photos, Parineeti looks a lot thinner in the black gown (which is a recent picture) than the photo which is from one promotional event of Daawat-e-ishq.

From her face to her waist, we can see a comparative difference in the two photos!

Well, now that she is almost back in shape, we hope she's back...

Earlier this year, filmmaker Kunal Kohli found himself embroiled in a legal battle with writer Jyoti Kapoor, after the latter claimed that that Kunal's forthcoming film Phir Se had been plagiarized from her work. In the ensuing battle the verdict kept tilting, but never settling the issue. Now we hear that the court has ruled to delay the release of the film till a final verdict is reached. Tweeting about the same Kunal Kohli posted, "What I have learnt from this experience is that the free exchange of ideas is no longer permissible and I would go a step further to say it expressly prohibited. The debate on copyright and plagiarism is settled, it is neither. The industry has to move towards a more closed and protective environment with regards to work in progress. What is left to be decided is merely one principal aspect, what is the value of...

Bollywood churns out on average 120 plus films a year, with 2014 reaching 142. So to think all of them will go down in history as being successful is rather naive. But what about the ones we thought would work wonders but came up short? The ones that left us thinking, “Why was this allowed past the editing board”? Even ones that somehow managed to cha-ching the money registers sky high. 2014 had its fair share of films that fit all these categories. BollySpice brings you the biggest disappointments of 2014.

10. Holiday

A.R.Murugadoss blew everyone’s mind when he told a tale of an anterograde amnesia patient desperately seeking revenge for the murder of his girlfriend in Ghajini. Yet when it came to a follow up film, one could say Holiday fell short of all the trimmings to recreate the magic. The writer in Murugadoss failed to see the shortcomings of his story,...

Jyoti Kapoor, co-writer of Daawat-e-Ishq, was miffed when she saw the First Look of the film called Phir Se and accused Kunal Kohli of plagiarism. In fact, Jyoti even filed a complaint with the Fwa (Film Writer's Association) alleging that Kunal had copied the story she had written a year ago. And now, it seems that the Dispute Settlement Committee of the association has passed the judgment in favour of Jyoti. Jyoti Kapoor, who is thrilled about it not only expressed her happiness but even claimed that justice has prevailed. From what we hear, it seems, that some aspects of Kunal's script bear a resemblance to Jyoti's, and considering that the two met a year ago, and Kunal had access to the latter's script, the committee decided that filmmaker Kohli's work was influenced by Jyoti's script. Apparently, Jyoti had registered the script with Fwa and had presented it to Kohli...

Filmmaker Kunal Kohli recently expressed his new found love for acting and the director is all set for his debut film Phir Se. However, even before the release of the teaser of the film, Phir Se has become a victim of the controversy. Recently, Jyoti Kapoor, co-writer of Daawat-e-Ishq claimed that the story of Phir Se was written by her and accused Kunal Kohli of plagiarism. She further added that she had approached the Film Writers Association (Fwa) with the script and also filed a complaint against the filmmaker turned actor. She has stated that she had narrated the story of the film to Kunal, when the two met last year. The makers of Phir Se are miffed with her and have decided to take action against it. A source close to Kunal says, "While the writer has approached the Film Writers Association claiming that she narrated the script to Kohli over a year ago,...

Daawat-e-Ishq has not turned out to be the yummy feast that it was intended to be. And the one who has apparently taken the setback most seriously is Aditya Roy Kapur, who, after Aashiqui 2, had quickly joined the list of A-lister stars. According to friend of the actor, Aditya has taken the setback to heart. Says the friend, "Aditya is a very emotional guy. He can't handle any kind of emotional upheaval.When it happens, he tends to withdraw from all social communication with friends and family. He likes to deal with a situation such as this on his own." Apparently, Aditya has gone into a shell after the poor response to his performance in Daawat-e-Ishq. Says the source, "He had his doubts about being able to carry off the Lucknowi Muslim chef's role. But nobody questions Aditya Chopra.When Adi Chopra offered the role to Aditya Roy Kapur,...

Yash Raj Films has tied up with India’s leading edible oil brand, “Dalda Edible Oils” for its upcoming film, Daawat-e-Ishq for a brand association.

The movie starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Parineeti Chopra revolves around food and romance which made it the ideal platform for Dalda Edible Oils to partner with as the heritage brand is synonymous with great taste and the love for food.

Elaborating further on this association, Mr Sagar Boke, Marketing Head, Bunge India said, “We are very excited to partner with Daawat-e-Ishq as the film brings forth the love for food and passion for cooking. The association blends well with what brand Dalda stands for and conveys the message of enjoying food to the fullest. This association is the perfect platform to reach out to food lovers across the country.”

The association will be promoted through a co-branded Tvc, and a special contest on Dalda...

He has an eye for detail, keeps it real and brings to the screen the India we seldom see in our cinema. That is Habib Faisal for you. His latest outing promised to be a tale driven by the creative cuisines of our fine nation. However what starts of as a promising film about love, life and food soon turns into a two hour too-long tedious journey that you cannot wait to finish.

Unexplainably Us obsessed Gulrez Qadir aka Gullu (Parineeti Chopra) thinks that the so-called land of her dreams is what she needs to become a successful shoe designer. But for her father (Anupam Kher) the only dream he has is to find a nice boy for his daughter so he can marry her off to and finally be rid of his fatherly duties. So he lines up boy after boy to meet his Mba graduate daughter which she of course effortlessly drives away.

Aditya and Parineeti’s Food Yatra continued to Fatehpur Sikri today. After a simple and wholesome pure vegetarian lunch on the highway, the duo proceeded to the Dargah amidst a huge gathering of locals and foreign tourists!

Lucknow ka Aashiq, Tariq, then proceeded to Agra to romance his Hyderabad ki Tez Gulrezwhere they headed for a fun and entertaining Qawwali night! The singing session was led by the musical maestros and the film’s music directors Sajid-Wajid along with the super talented Sabri Brothers, set against the majestic monumental ode-to-love backdrop – Taj Mahal.

The day ended with a romantic dinner date with the couple’s favourite dishes served under a candle lit gazebo by the pool side. And we left the Daawat-e-Ishq pair under the stars as they soaked in the atmosphere in the city of love before they head to Delhi for the fourth day of the Food Yatra.

Parineeti Chopra is well versed and familiar with Lucknow thanks to upcoming release, Daawat-e-Ishq. The actress had a lengthy shooting schedule of 90 days in the region, later returning to shoot the songs for the film. She had previously shot in the city for Ishaqzaade and is now extremely comfortable in the region, having travelled it extensively.

The actress knows all the best places to hang out at and has been advising people on where they can eat authentic Lucknowi food and experience the best eateries. She has also been giving her friends tips on where to shop. Her pals say that if anyone wants to know anything about Lucknow, they should simply call Parineeti, who is now truly at home in the city.

Gastronomic love stories are a rarity in Bollywood and Daawat-e-Ishq is one of those rare films on the subject, with the film’s lead actress, Parineeti Chopra, describing it as a full on celebration of food and love. Praising the plot, she says, “Though food plays an important part in Daawat-e-Ishq, it is at the end of the day a love story. Daawat-e-Ishq is a celebration of love and food, love for food, love over food.”

Explaining why we don’t tend to see many Indian films on the subject of food she adds, “It all happens in good time. We can’t have films about food just for the heck of it. There has to be a proper story to tell because it stretches to a two-and-a-half-hour of playing time. Though food plays an important part in Daawat-e-Ishq, it is at the end of the day a love story.

Shahab Sabri’s emotive singing, Sajid-Wajid’s music and Kausar Munir’s lyrics, bring you fusion at its best with the impressive ‘Jaadu Tone Waaliyan’ from Daawat-e-Ishq!

An emotive bitter sweet heartbreaker, ‘Jaadu Tone Waaliyan’ shows Lucknow ka Aashiq Tariq, Aditya Roy Kapur and Hyderabad ki Tez Gulrez, Parineeti Chopra battling the complexities of falling in love…when Love gets Spicy, Love gets Sweet, Love gets Bitter!

Aditya Roy Kapur and Parineeti Chopra who have been visiting places promoting their soon to release film Daawat-e-Ishq will now set out on a unique promotional campaign. In fact the duo will be visiting places from Mumbai to Chandigarh, as the film's characters Gullu and Taru, to discover great food joints along the way. It is learnt that the duo will drive through several cities and small towns and their itinerary will cover the best food spots and most exciting experiences along the way that make for an amazing food road trip filled with fun, love and laughter. If that wasn't enough the makers of the film have also planned to let the audience track the film's lead pair via the film's official website as well as on its facebook and twitter handles. But if that wasn't enough, they have taken it a step ahead by allowing the audience to...

Parineeti Chopra will be seen driving an original Impala model from the year 1964 in Yash Raj Films’ next, Daawat-e-Ishq. To get used to the vehicle, the actress had to practice behind the wheel for a couple of hours before shooting for the scene.

The original Impala has mechanical settings that render the car extremely heavy, unlike the usual power steering cars. This made it tricky for Parineeti to drive the car effortlessly and the entire sequence proved a heavy-duty challenge for the actress, requiring her to put in a lot of muscle while making it look natural.

The actress loves driving cars but she admits the Impala was a tough one, despite previously having handled a jeep in Ishaqzaade. In addition to mastering the Impala, the film required numerous other exciting challenges for Parineeti, not least of all learning fluent Urdu.

Parineeti Chopra’s challenging sequence in Daawat-e-Ishq is a...

Written & Directed by Habib Faisal Dawaat-e-Ishq is a deliciously romantic coming together of Gulrez “Gullu” Qadir (Parineeti Chopra) a Hyderabadi shoe-sales girl disillusioned with love because of her encounters with dowry-seeking men; and Tariq “Taru” Haidar (Aditya Roy Kapoor) a Lucknawi cook who can charm anybody with the aroma and flavours of his biryani and kebabs.

In the clash of diametrically opposite but equally spicy cultures of Hyderabad and Lucknow, Gullu and Taru arrive at a “tuning-setting”, rewrite traditional recipes of love, crush old-fashioned world-view and make their own masaledaar albeli rangreli pichchar … Daawat-e-Ishq!

Saturday’s Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa opened with hosts Ranvir and Manish explaining this weeks ‘Teen Ka Tadka’ concept in their typical style!

Judge Remo then performed his version of Teen Ka Tadka along side Lauren Gottlieb and choreographer Salman Khan. Their act was based on a particular scene from Hindi mythology ‘Ramayan’ where judge Remo played the role of Raavan who was trying to kidnap Sitaji (played by Lauren) and the old vulture Jatayu who tried to save Sitaji was played by Salman. Their song reflected the religious theme of their act. It truly was a spell binding performance and it gave the audience a clear reflection as to what todays acts would be like.

It was then time to welcome the special guests on stage who would form the Teen Ka Tadka. Sana Saeed, Faisal, Dadi from Comedy Nights with Kapil, Krystle D’Souza, Mukti Mohan and Ellie Avram were all welcomed on stage.

Yash Raj Films has done it again. They've shifted the release date of their Parineeti Chopra-Aditya Roy Kapoor starrer Daawat-e-Ishq one more time, this time from September 5 to September 19. While a clash between the two cousins Parineeti and Priyanka Chopra (the latter's prestigious Mary Kom releases on September 5) has thereby been averted, another clash is now brewing between the two buddies,AnupamKher who plays a pivotal part in Daawat-e-Ishq and Anil Kapoor whose daughters Rhea and Sonam are the producer and lead actress of Khubsoorat, the film which releases alongside Daawat-e-Ishq on September 19. Says an insider, "Anil Kapoor kobahotpareshanihui sun kar. He never expected Daawat-e-Ishq to be pushed forward to clash with his daughters' film.Anil knows Yash Raj has the clout to block as any screens as possible for Daawat-e-Ishq. This doesn't leave Khubsoorat with much breathing space on September 19." Anupam and Anil are close friends and...

If you are finding Aditya Roy Kapur to be a tad bulkier when compared to his Aashiqui 2 days, there is a reason behind that. From playing an alcoholic in the Mohit Suri film, a part which required him to turn weaker with every passing episode, it was a much happier environment that he found himself in during the making of Habib Faisal's Daawat-e-Ishq. Reason being that he is playing the role of a chef, something which by default brought him much closer to food than ever before.

Confirms a close associate of the actor, "Yes, he has put on 8 kgs during the making of the film and that too in a very quick time. In fact he never even got an opportunity to get rid of any weight whatsoever since there are many scenes in the film that require him to eat. At times, he was even eating...

Daawat-e-Ishq starring the cool jodi of Parineeti Chopra and Aditya Roy Kapoor has been moved to Spetember 19th.

Daawat-e-Ishq is a deliciously romantic coming together Hyderabad ki tez Gulrez (Parineeti Chopra) and Lucknow ka ashiq Tariq (Aditya Roy Kapur). Directed by Habib Faisal, it is a love story from Yash Raj Films’ kitchen, where Love gets Spicy, Love gets Sweet, Love gets Bitter!

A shoe-sales girl, disillusioned with love because of her encounters with dowry-seeking men and a cook, who can charm anybody with the aroma and flavours of his biryani and kebabs, come face to face in the clash of diametrically opposite but equally spicy cultures of Hyderabad and Lucknow.

In her quest to find her Mr. Universe, she comes up against “Big Boss Hyderi Kebab” and in the process of arriving at a “tuning-setting”, Gullu and Taru rewrite traditional recipes of love, crush old-fashioned world-views and make their own masaledaar albeli pichchar…...

Parineeti Chopra is an ardent fan of Saif Ali Khan and when she was offered a film opposite her favourite actor, she readily jumped at the opportunity. However, Parineeti may be disappointed to hear that her film with Saif Ali Khan has been currently put on hold. The film in question was also the directorial debut of Saif's business partner (Illuminati Films) Dinesh Vijan, however, now the production house has decided to wait before the film goes on floors. The reason is that Saif Ali Khan is currently busy with other Bollywood commitments. In fact, during the auspicious occasion of Eid, Saif ended up working for his upcoming film in London instead of spending it with his wife Kareena Kapoor Khan. With the actor juggling between many films, Saif Ali Khan revealed that his film is currently on hold. Saif Ali Khan is currently shooting for Kabir Khan's Phantom...

While Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor won hearts with their onscreen chemistry in Mohit Suri's Aashiqui 2, they are all set to recreate the same with Tigmanshu Dhulia's Milan Talkies. The film which was on hold after many actors walked out of the project, has finally found the leads in Aditya and Shraddha. Prior to this, the original casting decision was to bring together the duo of Imran Khan and Priyanka Chopra. However, Imran Khan walked out of the film owing to his differences with Ekta Kapoor after the Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai Dobaara! debacle and later, Priyanka Chopra too decided to quit the film. Post that, Shahid Kapoor was taken on board and later, Tigmanshu Dhulia even confirmed Varun Dhawan's presence during an interview after the release of Saif Ali Khan - Sonakshi starrer Bullett Raja. However, it seems none of these associations seem to have worked out.

Bollywood and divine faith always go hand in hand. While many stars visit temples and dargahs to pray for the success of the films, Aditya Roy Kapur had a different way of worshipping this year. Since his film Daawat-e-Ishq is due for release soon, he observed Roza this year, as he plays a Muslim guy in the film. Even though he decided to keep Roza this year, he was unsure because it is a very stringent fast without water. After getting the details of the fast from his Muslim friends, he went ahead with his Roza on the last day of Ramzan. Even though it was a difficult day, but he managed to observe the fast. What really surprised him is that his friends and family sent him fruits, delicacies and specially cooked homemade dishes for Iftaari. Aditya Roy Kapur, who was totally moved touched by their gesture, chose to...

More than half of 2014 has past and many of the most awaited films of the year have already been released, with more or less success in the box office. But there are many months left until the end of the year and B-town is finalizing a bunch of new films to entertain the audience.

Here’s a selection of films to be released during the rest of 2014:

Kick

Producer Sajid Nadiadwala’s directorial debut is the major release of this year’s Eid, which features Salman Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Randeep Hooda and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead roles. The remake of a Telugu film of the same name, Kick tells the story of Devi (Khan), a man who lives only for his ‘Kick’ aka an adrenaline rush, and who will eventually become a thief. He will come across several characters, such as Shaina (Fernandez), who will become his love interest,...

Daawat-e-Ishq not only features the brand new jodi of Aditya Roy Kapoor (Aashiqui 2) and Parineeti Chopra (Ishaqzaade) but sees Sajid-Wajid (Dabangg) composing their first Yash Raj venture. Needless to say, music enthusiasts are curious to see what is in stock for us from this unlikely merger.

Daawat-e-Ishq’s songs have been penned by Kausar Munir while vocalists featured on the soundtrack include Sonu Nigam (‘Abhi Mujhme Kahin’ – Agneepath), Javed Ali (‘Tera Deedar Hai’ – Jannat 2), Sunidhi Chauhan (‘Sheila Ki Jawaani’ – Tees Maar Khan), Shreya Ghoshal (‘Chikni Chameli’ – Agneepath), Shalmali Kholgade (‘Pareshaan’ – Ishaqzaade) and Wajid (‘Jalwa’ – Wanted).

The title track opens the soundtrack and is an energetic qawaali/electronica by Javed Ali and Sunidhi Chauhan. Ali and Chauhan make a brilliant pair and complement the lyrical back and forth well. Munir’s expert grasp of Urdu is only surpassed by his impressive culinary innuendos. All in all, a powerful start to the soundtrack.

The delectable pair of Aditya Roy Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra launched the refreshingly enjoyable Daawat-e-Ishq Music Album of the film and as a bonus the gave the first look to the Title Track amidst their fans at a media event held in New Delhi.

With the talented music duo Sajid-Wajid’s style of “tuning-setting”, and the engaging lyrics of Kausar Munir, let the music of the film transport you into the zesty cultures of Hyderabad and Lucknow.

Lucknow ka Aashiq, Tariq, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Hyderabab ki Tez Gulrez, Parineeti Chopra, rewrite traditional recipes of love, crush old-fashioned world-view and make their own masaledaar albeli rangreli pichchar… Daawat-e-Ishq.

Produced by Aditya Chopra, the film is written and directed by Habib Faisal.

It seems the Chopra sisters are destined to collide. Last year on 5th September, the feisty first-cousins Priyanka and Parineeti Chopra collided at the box office with Zanjeer and Shuddh Desi Romance, respectively. Back then it was Parineeti who walked away with all the revenues Looks like the sisters are destined to clash again. News comes that the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali -Viacom 18's production Mary Kom is being pre-poned. The Olympian boxer's bio-pic was earlier scheduled for October 2. But with the Hrithik Roshan starrer Bang Bang and Vishal Bhardwaj's Haider occupying the coveted 3-day weekend Friday of Gandhi Jayanti, Mary Kom is being rush-released on September 5. The same Friday as Parineeti Chopra's long-awaited Daawat-e-Ishq. Her first with co-star Aditya Roy Kapur and second with director Habib Faisal. Interestingly, while Mary Kom is being released ahead of schedule, the release of Daawat-e-Ishq has been delayed by many months.

Meet Hyderabad ki tez Gulrez (Parineeti Chopra) and Lucknow ka aashiq Tariq (Aditya Roy Kapur) in a love story from Yash Raj Films’ kitchen, where Love gets Spicy, Love gets Sweet, Love gets Bitter!

In her quest to find her Mr. Universe, she comes up against “Big Boss Hyderi Kebab” and in the process of arriving at a “tuning-setting”, Gullu and Taru rewrite traditional recipes of love, crush old-fashioned world-views and make their own masaledaar albeli pichchar… a deliciously romantic Daawat-e-Ishq!

With this holy month of Ramzaan come the Iftaar parties and Bollywood has always celebrated this special occassion. Now the buzz is that the media-shy filmmaker Aditya Chopra, is not only all set to host this year's first Iftaar party, but also launch the trailer of his upcoming film Daawat-e-Ishq, that's being directed by Habib Faisal and stars Aditya Roy Kapur and Parineeti Chopra in lead. This event is said to take place on July 7 at Yrf studios. Buzz is that while the Iftaar party will be domain to many mouth watering delicacies, the event will be attended by the film's cast and crew and selected people from the media.

Every Yashraj hero seems to be mastering one accent or the other. While Aditya Roy Kapur desperately grappled with the Urdu in Habib Faisal's Daawat-e-Ishq, Sushant Singh Rajput is trying to sound as Bengali as he can in Dibakar Bannerjee's Detective Byomkesh. Ayushmann Khurrana who had to learn Marathi for Vibhu Puri's Bambai Fairytale is on to a difference tongue-trip now. Ayushmann is getting a hang of the Bhojpuri of his naïve-as-hell character from Hardwar in Sharat Katariya's Dum Laga Ke Haisha. Says a source close to the project, "The film is being shot in Hardwar. Ayushmann plays a simpleton named Prem and his very clever wife is played by newcomer Bhumi Pednekar. Ayushman's Prem is nothing like Salman Khan's Prem in Sooraj Barajatya's films. Ayushmann is modelled on Raj Kapoor in Shri 420. He is naïve and lacks worldly wisdom to the point of being a social misfit.

Parineeti Chopra has recently made headlines for saying that she did not wish to work with any of the Khans, referring to Shahrukh, Salman and Aamir.

In an interview she recently granted to a magazine, the actress was reported to say that her character will have “nothing to do” in a movie co-starring one of the Khans. Reactions were immediate and the media was quickly filled with articles quoting her words and even questioning whether it was the right move for her career considering that has only done four films so far. Some even sarcastically suggested her to look for her cousin Priyanka Chopra’s advice!

It seems that this statement is not entirely accurate, and the actress decided to address the controversy during the launch of Yash Raj’s fashion store Diva’ni last Thursday. “I would just like to clarify a bit on that (what I said in...

The upcoming film Daawat-e-Ishq, which stars Aditya Roy Kapur and Parineeti Chopra, has just become the first movie to be shot in Uttar Pradesh’s Ambedkar Park, popularly known as Mayawati Lawns.

The film, which is majorly shot in Lucknow and Hyderabad, has also shot at a lot of new locations which the actors had not seen or been to previously.

The director and the creative team were very keen to shoot the film at this place as it was most appropriate for the script.

However, they had inhibitions initially as no other film had been shot there, so permission could have been an issue.

But when they requested the concerned authorities for permission, they got a positive response and whoever has seen the shots has loved them.

The team was very happy to have shot there.

In the clash of diametrically opposite but equally spicy cultures of Hyderabad and Lucknow, Gullu and Taru arrive at a “tuning-setting”, rewrite traditional recipes of love, crush old-fashioned world-view and make their own masaledaar albeli rangreli pichchar… Daawat-e-Ishq!

It seems every young actor is doing an accent. While Aditya Roy Kapoor had to work really hard on his Urdu diction in Habib Faisal's Daawat-e-Ishq, Ayushmann Khurrana and Sushant Singh Rajput have been practising their Marathi and Bangla for their respective characters in Vibhu Puri's Mumbaai Fairytale and Dibakar Bannerjee's Detective Byomkesh Bakshy respectively. Ranveer Singh who sported a dead-on Gujarati diction in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram Leela won't find it that easy to sail through the dialogues of Slb's historical Bajirao Mastani. The fastidious filmmaker and his dialogue writer Prakash Kapadia have decided to zeroin on a Marathi tutor for Ranveer to hone his Marathi skills. Says a source close to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, "Ranveer would have to get his language and diction completely right. The director doesn't want a hue and cry over the language being mis-pronounced. Ranveer is already familiar...

Yash Raj Films is happy to renew its slate of forthcoming films for 2014 and 2015. These dates supercede the ones announced earlier for some of the films.

Shivani Shivaji Roy is an astute cop working in a Mumbai Crime Branch unit. Deft at picking up hidden clues and fearless in confronting hardened criminals, Shivani stumbles on a case that will change her life forever.

Starring Rani Mukerji in the lead, playing the role of a cop for the first time, the raw and gritty film will be a distinct departure from Pradeep Sarkar’s style of filmmaking.

After Bewakoofiyaan failed to attract the masses despite being a young love story with elements of drama and glamour, Yash Raj Films has now decided to postpone the release of Daawat-e-Ishq. While the film was slated to release on May 9, the current date after the delay has not been finalized. This decision has also lead to speculations about Yrf working on improving their marketing strategy. However, it has been learnt that the post production of the film hasn't been completed and hence the delay. Spokesperson of Yrf confirms the development. Dawaat-e-Ishq is directed by Habib Faisal and stars Parineeti Chopra and Aditya Roy Kapur.

Boasting of a cent percent record so far, Parineeti Chopra is on a high.

All speculations can well be put to rest. Parineeti Chopra would have to wait before she is seen on the big screen with Shah Rukh Khan. Though ever since the announcement of Fan, there were rumours of the two being paired opposite each other, unfortunately this has turned out to be, well, just plain rumours.

"In fact if you see an official communication from Yash Raj Films around the cast of Fan, there is no mention of a leading lady out there. Otherwise they never keep any suspense around their cast and crew. If Parineeti was in the film, her name would have been announced," informs our source.

Rumours started catching heat especially after it was announced that Fan would be directed by Maneesh Sharma. Since the filmmaker's last two films - Shuddh Desi Romance and Ladies v/s Ricky Bahl - have both featured Parineeti while producer Aditya Chopra...
