Kangana Ranaut refused to wear the bikini?

Kangana Ranaut refused to wear the bikini?: Kangana Ranaut was game to don a bikini for a scene in director David Dhawan’s comedy film Rascals, but backed out at the last minute.

The shoot was being done in Thailand last week and the male co-stars Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan were ready for the scene in which Kangana was to emerge from the sea in nothing more than a sexy bikini. Reportedly, Dhawan had discussed the scene with Kangana before and she had not just given her nod but also shopped for the bikini.

But when the time came for Kangs to slip into a two-piece she had second thoughts and refused to do the scene. Several reasons are being cited for her flip-flop. One is that she backed out after learning that in the scene Sanjay and Ajay were supposed to ogle at her. Another is that she was not comfortable in slipping into the two-piece because she has gained weight recently and did not want her flab to be seen.

Whatever the reason, we hear the shoot was stalled for hours after Kangana refused to wear the bikini despite persuasion by the director and co-stars. Not just that, she later left the Thailand shoot mid-way and flew down to Mumbai to promote her film Tanu Weds Manu.

Thankfully, the issue has now been sorted out and we hear that Kangana has at last agreed to wear the bikini.

Kangana Ranaut play an audacious role in 'Tanu Weds Manu'

Kangana Ranaut play an audacious role in 'Tanu Weds Manu': Kangana Ranaut, most popular for playing the ‘girl interrupted’ kind of roles on the big screen will be seen playing a hilariously quirky character in this Friday’s release Tanu Weds Manu.

In the movie, Kangana plays Tanu, a rebellious girl from a small town.

“My character in the film is not glamorous. She is audacious but very lovable character. She is from a very cultured Kanpur family, who has studied in Delhi University. But then she also likes to shock people and have a bit of fun,” Kangana is quoted as saying by a news agency.

The actress added that unlike her previous roles she did not have to do any research for this one because she has known a lot of girls like Tanu.

“I come from the North, I have grown up with people who think like Tanu and also dress up like her. So it was not a role that needed too much research,” she said.

The movie stars Madhavan as Kangana’s NRI suitor. The movie is a romantic comedy about how love gradually takes root between two unlike-minded people.

Madhavan very fond of Kangana Ranaut

Madhavan very fond of Kangana Ranaut: Actor R. Madhavan really enjoyed working with National Award winning actress Kangana Ranaut in 'Tanu Weds Manu', so much so that the multi-lingual star admits he has become fond of her and would like to do more films with the pretty actress.

'I am very fond of Kangana and attracted to her. I feel she is an extremely competent actor, very professional and she has actively contributed to the role for the first time,' Madhavan told IANS.

'As an actor, I have never worked with a heroine who does that. They (other heroines) are happy doing what the script demands from them but Kangana is the one who was pushing the envelope. I hope I can do another film with Kangana, I really enjoyed working with her,' he said.

Madhavan rubbished a media report that said he was angry with Kangana as she was hogging the limelight in the film's promotion.

'Unfortunately, it's wrong news,' he said. 'Kangana is shooting in Bangkok, so she did her character's (Tanu) promotion earlier,' he said.

'There is absolutely no reason to be upset with her and I am really missing her.'

Directed by Anand Rai, 'Tanu Weds Manu' is set to hit theatres Feb 25. It is a romantic comedy, which shows how two seemingly opposite natured people fall in love.

'I don't know why this romantic tag stuck with me for so long.

They (directors) want it, so I give them that. I am not going to fight it. This is a different kind of romantic story. It's not a cliche 'hold my hand and get into a fight' later on kind of story. It's very real and I don't remember if I have seen such a romantic film ever,' said Madhavan, who plays the role of Manu in the film.

About the film, Madhavan said: 'Manu is brought up in a small town in a middle class family, very happy with whatever his parents have in mind for him, no rebellious quality unnecessarily. He goes to London, spends eight to nine years and comes back with his tradition intact, like most Indian guys, who go from a small town, do.

'What happens is you forget that in the span of time of your staying abroad, your town has changed-McDonalds, MTV, all have come in and people are having flings for the sake of it and suddenly there is a complete mismatch in the opposite direction.

'You are an Indian, she is westernized, you are a conformist, she is rebellious and there is a mismatch. But love has its own course.'

The character is semantic to most of the foreign-returned small town guys, said Madhavan. 'It rarely happens that one who goes abroad, returns with a foreigner wife or girlfriend, smoking and speaking with an accent. Ninety percent

come back being more Indian than they were.'

The reigning star of the south is eager to offer varied shades of characters to his Hindi audience.

'In the south, I have done some really dynamic characters, really brutal and masculine ones. Unfortunately, the Hindi guys haven't seen that angry guy in me as yet. So if a script like that comes along, I would really love to do (the role of) an angry young man now,' said Madhavan.

'I think I am competent in comedy. Even 'Tanu Weds Manu' is comical but it has no comedy, it's humorous. But I would love to do a comedy film. I just did a hard-core comedy film in Tamil, which did very well,' said Madhavan.

The actor revealed that he has signed two more Hindi films but refrained from giving any details.

Kangana Ranaut no for kiss by Mika

Kangana Ranaut no for kiss by Mika: Kangana Ranaut plays a feisty girl in the upcoming matrimonial comedy Tanu Weds Manu. But she got cold feet at the idea of kissing the Punjabi singer Mika.

In the movie, Mika has sung a peppy song titled Jugni. It’s a promotional track that was recently shot on the film’s lead actors Kangana and Madhavan with Mika joining in for a jig.

While filming the song, director Anand L Rai came up with the idea of making Mika kiss Kangana at the song’s end, just the way he locked lips with the item girl Rakhi Sawant a few years ago at her birthday.

The antic was intended to be funny, but Kangana wasn’t comfortable in being kissed by Mika. So she told the director to axe the kiss.

Kangana: Kiss with Dino was just a peck

Kangana: Kiss with Dino was just a peck

Kangana Ranaut has come out with a statement, after media went berserk splashing photos of her and Dino Morea kissing each other at Sanjay Dutt’s anniversary bash.

Talking the kiss, Kangana says, “I know Dino for a while now. We’ve met socially and even had a few laughs but to make it seem like there is something more is terrible.”

Kangana insists that her kiss with Dino was very harmless and is not passionate kiss as portrayed by the media.

When the talk shifts from her kiss to her relationship with Dino, she says, “I’m done with relationships.I have 10 movies to complete this year, and will perhaps take on another dozen next year. What I’m trying to say is that I’m completely swamped by work. I have no desire to get into another relationship. I’m done with those.”

Kangana also adds that she won’t date now, she will only marry, “Marriage is what it will be. I may marry three years down the line or perhaps even five years down the line. But I’m certainly not interested in the dating scene.”

Point taken Kangana!

Dino-Kangana get naughty at Sanjay Dutt’s Anniversary bash

At recently held Sanjay Dutt and Manayata Dutt’s anniversary bash at their home, Dino Morea and Kangana Ranaut indulged in some serious public display of affection.

A source present at the party says, “It was a well attended affair and several couples like Shilpa and Raj Kundra, Sunil and Mana Shetty, Fardeen and Natasha Khan, David Dhawan and wife Lalli, besides some others like Kirron Kher and Amar Singh were present. Dino, who made an appearance sans his steadiest girlfriend Nandita Mahatani, had lots to talk about with Kangna Ranaut. Before long, they were chatting away so intimately that it was difficult to believe that this was their first proper meeting at a private party.”

The source adds, “During the course of the evening, Kangna was seen mostly around Dino and they were overheard discussing movies, especially their common interest in Hollywood films. Dino flattered her with many compliments about her best roles. Interestingly, when they both decided to leave at the same time, they hugged each other rather warmly and the peck on the cheek was as hot as it gets. In the lobby, as they waited for their cars, a happy Dino couldn’t resist hopping on a kiddie car lying there, which made Kangna burst into delighted laughter.”

Kangna Ranaut, Aditya Pancholi

According to some reliable sources, Rohan Sippy’s next film, Dum Maro Dum, is about the drug racket in Goa. The leading lady of this movie is Kangna Ranaut who is playing a Goan junkie in this movie. She playing this role opposite Rana Daggubati, a Telugu star, who is making his bollywood debut. The most interesting part of this movie is that Kangna is paired with her ex-boyfriend Aditya Pancholi, who is playing a villain named Biscuit.

A source said, “Kangna plays a Goan drug addict named Tracy who is Aditya Pancholi’s moll and Daggubatti’s love interest. At the end of the film, Aditya gets Kangna killed.” The suprising part is that Kangna is not at all awkward about working with Aditya Pancholi. A source close to Kangna revealed, “Though Kangna was perfect for the hyper-ventilating role of Tracy, director Rohan Sippy was hesitant to approach her because of the Pancholi factor. However, Kangna surprised him by shrugging off all the inhibitions about being paired with her ex. Her only reservation was about the part she is playing.”

When approached for her response, Kangna said, “Yes, I have been approached. Let us see what happens.” However, the sources have confirmed that she has been finalized for the role.
