I was fortunate that I got the opportunity to fly. It was an exhilarating experience. I feel much honored to be a part of something like this. I am also being proud to be the only one Bollywood actor who flew F 16.


For the role I met various airforce officers, spoken to them, studies their body language. Learned what all goes into being an airforce officer.


The air force training was also a wonderful experience to go through. The entire process requires a graph. I researched on them and even met few air force officers. Their attitude is awesome. They are the real heroes."

Madhuri turns down Anil Kapoor’s offer….

Madhuri Dixit has refused to play the role of a mommy to Sonam Kapoor in the desi remake of Mark Water’s film Freaky Friday.

Said a source very close to Madhuri, “When Anil Kapoor offered her Sonam’s mother’s role Madhuri was in two minds. She felt hesitant about playing mother to a girl in her 20s.

At the same time, Madhuri also felt awkward about turning down Anil’s offer, an actor with whom she has shared a very warm relationship in the past. So she decided to first watch Freaky Friday.

But yesterday Madhuri decided that the role would not suit her, especially after her last abortive attempt at a comeback in Aaja Nachle. Many protest posts were put up on a social networking site against Madhuri playing mom to Sonam.”

Says Madhuri’s Indian business manager Rakesh Nath, “After much thought Madhuri has decided not to do the Indian remake of Freaky Friday. She will inform Anilji about her decision as soon as he returns from South Africa.”

Music album of I Hate Luv Storys’ leaked

The film industry is battling hard to combat piracy, as it is the biggest threat to the film industry, causing loss of revenue in millions.

The latest film that has been hit by the piracy plague is the upcoming Sonam -Imran starrer I Hate Luv Storys. The music of the film is officially scheduled to release on May 27. However, the entire album of I Hate Luv Storys has been leaked online.

CEO of Dharma Productions said,

“Well this was bound to happen. In fact to be frank the music of the film will release on the 27th, however, that will be the physical copy (of the album) while on the other hand, the digital version is already up and running on various foreign sites and carriers. So if there was a leak, it has happened from there.”

He adds, “We have given a date of May 27th keeping in mind that the music releases in big cities first, then smaller towns and later in other places. So by the 27th the whole of India will have the music of the film, in simpler terms this is what we call as a staggered release and hence give a later date when all cities and towns will have it.”

However, since the production house didn’t reveal any details of the online carriers which officially released the music of I Hate Luv Storys, it can be said that piracy has surely hit the music of one of the highly anticipated films of this year in a big way.
