The beauty surely knows the importance of relationship… Although there’s an alleged gap between Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan, the actress has not cut away the ties with his near and dear ones.
Recently the gori had organized a special screening just for Salman’s family. But no, Salman didn’t watch it though. In fact his father Salim Khan who had attended the show was quite impressed with Katrina’s performance. On a sentimental note Katrina said to sources that she wanted Salim saab to see ‘Raajneeti’ for very special reason. For, he’s the one who has seen Kat since her initial struggling days in Bollywood. “He's very proud of me," remarked Katz excited.
Similarly, ‘Raajneeti’ director Prakash Jha is pleased and revealed that Salim saab was full of praise for the film. “He specially praised the dialogues which, coming from him, was a great compliment. Earlier, Salim saab had said what he and Javed Akhtar saab wrote as a cops story in Zanjeer was nowhere near the authenticity of my cops story in Gangaajal. He's a generous man,” quoted Jha to sources.
We wonder when we can hear Salman’s verdict… Salman in fact had tweeted that he surely would like to see ‘Raajneeti’, giving hope to Katrina. Incidentally, the hunk star till now has not seen any of Katrina’s film… Looks like being away from the show, Salman has dashed Kat’s dreams…

Katrina Kaif's Raajneeti party plan has spoiled by Rain
Katrina Kaif was supposed to fly down to Mumbai for a day to attend the Raajneeti success party on Wednesday from Spain, where she is shooting for Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara, but the actress had to drop her plans because of the inclement weather there.
The Raajneeti team has a lot to celebrate about, but director Prakash Jha wanted no celebration until his lucky mascot Katrina was available.
But Zoya's crew has been facing rough weather ever since they arrived in Spain. Apparently six days of shooting had to be cancelled because of heavy rains. And now they need to quickly make up for lost time since their work permits and visas would expire.
Jha admits that Katrina would be unable to make it to the party.
"They've lost a lot of time because of the rain in Spain. I couldn't dream of having a Raajneeti bash without Katrina. And I had postponed it until her availability. But now it's impossible for Katrina to fly down," Jha said.
Katrina even requested the film's producers and the director to accommodate her absence for less than a day.
Says a source close to Katrina: "Since Prakash Jha was very, very keen to have her down to Mumbai for the bash, and had even made all the arrangements for her flight, Katrina was not willing to give up the idea of attending the function. She offered to be back in less than 24 hours. Katrina was willing to fly to Mumbai, attend the Raajneeti bash on Wednesday and fly out the same night to re-join the ...Dobara team the next morning. But this has not been allowed."
Jha will now record a video message from Katrina and play it at the party. "So she will be with us in spirit if not in person," he said.
Katrina, on the other hand, tried to sound diplomatic and not disappointed. "It is a big day. And the success of Raajneeti is very precious to me. But I can't leave the crew in Spain."
She admits there're lots of unscheduled breaks. Katrina has got one of her sisters, Melissa, to join her in Spain to give her company at break time.
"London is just two hours, so Melissa could join me. Mumbai is in another hemisphere. Flying down is impossible. Please tell Prakashji, mera party baqi raha," she said.

Ranbir Kapoor's next Anjaana Anjaani with
What does a hit film do to you? Well, it ends up benefiting not just everyone associated with that film but also the next one which is in the pipeline. Ranbir Kapoor will certainly vouch for that as the blockbuster success of Raajneeti has ensured that his very next release, Anjaana Anjaani (with Priyanka Chopra), hugely benefits from it.
Reasons are aplenty:
a) Raajneeti has made a statement loud and clear that Ranbir isn't made just for candyfloss cinema. He has the range and if Wake Up Sid and Rocket Singh - Salesman of the Year were the starting points, Raajneeti has been a definite milestone in his career as far as working in offbeat cinema (if looked at from the perspective of what is expected from a young actor of his age) is concerned.
b) The entire balancing act is certainly going in his favour. Just after Wake Up Sid, Ranbir Kapoor returned with a major money spinner in the form of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. While it was always meant to be a so called 'safe film' (in Bollywood parlance), the fact remains that it was Ranbir's charm (amongst some genuine comic moments, super hit music and Katrina Kaif's continued luck) which helped it enjoy a long run at the box office.
c) With good critical acclaim as well as commercial success coming his way, Ranbir is pretty much being looked at as a package deal, something which has been nurtured to the fullest in Raajneeti. While his restrained performance has made everyone sit up and take notice of his inherent talent, the roaring box office success has proved that audiences are willing to accept him even in those roles where he is not just a chocolate hero.
These are the factors that make Anjaana Anjaani an interesting case study on what to expect from Ranbir. He got an initial jolt after Saawariya, only to get a shot in the arm courtesy Bachna Ae Haseeno which had turned out to be a decent success. With Siddharth Anand as the film-maker who gave Ranbir his first success, Anjaana Anjaani could well be life coming full circle for the director-actor 'jodi'. Add to that the fact that the film comes from the house of Nadiadwala Grandsons which has been known for its successful record over the years and it can be confidently said that the hit run of Ranbir Kapoor is pretty much safeguarded.
Says a veteran industry follower, "The going couldn't have been better for Ranbir as he seems to have planned it all quite well. Soon after a rather serious Raajneeti, he is looking at a young entertainer like Anjaana Anjaani. Sajid Nadiadwala is known for making big films which are family entertainers and feelers within the industry are already quite positive about Anjaana Anjaani. Then there are films with directors like Imtiaz Ali (Rockstar) and Anurag Basu (Silence). Though it is a common saying that one can't plan things to perfection, especially in the unpredictable world of Bollywood, this is pretty much the case if one looks at the way Ranbir has gone about picking and choosing his projects."

Raajneeti movie: Two petitions rejected by High Court
The Mumbai High Court yesterday rejected two separate petitions, seeking stay on Prakash Jha’s ‘Raajneeti’.
In one petition, a scriptwriter Yogendra Konkar alleged that the film was based on his own script titled ‘Rajniti: A political saga’. Yogendra’s lawyer said that his script was registered with the Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPAA) in March 2009. Jha’s lawyer Ashish Kamat pointed that ‘Raajneeti’ script was registered in December 2008 and hence there is no way the script could have been plagiarized.
Justice Kathawalla refused to stay the film, saying that the two scripts are different.
In another petition, congress worker Naseem Khan has moved the high court for an interim stay after the sessions court rejected his applications last week. According to Khan, the character played by Katrina Kaif in the film was based on Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi and it defamed her.
Ah... At last the road for a safe release of ‘Raajneeti’ one of the most awaited film for this year is clear.

Raajneeti gets UA certificate after the A certificate
Raajneeti has finally got a UA certificate but not without some vital scenes, including Arjun Rampal and Katrina Kaif's 'aesthetically shot love making scene' that director Prakash Jha says was 'absolutely essential', being edited out.
"It was a very aesthetically shot love making scene. Arjun and Katrina are two very beautiful people. And they made love to the camera. The Tribunal (Film Certification Appellate Tribunal) felt it was a bit too explicit for a ‘UA’ audience. I didn’t argue," Jha said.
Jha’s weeklong battle with the censor board ended on Wednesday with the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal in New Delhi viewing Raajneeti and granting it a ‘UA’ certificate.
The director had challenged the censor board’s decision earlier last week to grant Raajneeti an ‘A’ certificate with cuts.
Jha sees the reduction of the Katrina-Rampal love making scene as a blow.
"The love scene was absolutely essential. Unlike other directors I had not shot extra footage so that the censors could take away whatever portion they liked. I had shot the love making scene exactly the way it was meant to be. I've had to reduce it by half.
"It's a disappointment to all of us. I've also had to beep out the F… word uttered by Ranbir Kapoor and Arjun Rampal in two different places in the plot. Ex-justice Usha Mehra, who headed the Tribunal, requested me to do away with the F… word. But it didn't make a difference," he said.
Ajay Devgn, Naseeruddin Shah, Nana Patekar and Manoj Bajpai too will be seen Raajneeti. Releasing on June 4, the political thriller will be the behind-the-scenes look at politics, strategies behind election campaigns, scandals and much more.
Apparently, the censor board had earlier objected to two sequences - one showing the rigging of elections by fitting ballot boxes with specially designed gadgets and the other showing a female politician offering sex in exchange for an election ticket.
"An ‘A’ certificate brings on a specific mindset on the audience. They think the film has sleazy content. So I preferred to let the film be referred to the Tribunal," said Jha.
Also Arjun's volatile character in Raajneeti shouts lurid and graphic expletives Hindi at a police officer. These remain intact while the 'f' word is gone.
Several recent Hindi films like Omkara and Ishqiya were plastered with expletives but got away at the censors with an A certificate.

There were also reports that Katrina will play an army recruit in it.
"There is no truth to the news that Katrina will be playing an army recruit. It is too soon to talk about it as nothing as been finalised as of now," said a source close to the actress.
"When the time comes an announcement will be made about her debut production project. As of now Katrina is just in talks and toying with ideas," added the source.

Katrina Kaif says Actresses are not friends
Katrina Kaif, who is all set to make a splash in her upcoming flim ’Raajneeti’, says her mentor-turned-boyfriend Salman Khan was always sure of her doing well and making a mark for herself in the tinsel town.
On co-stars, she said, "Akshay and I complement each other well."Katrina feels that finding good friends was a very difficult task in the film industry. "It’s a reality, actresses are forced to accept. You can be friends with a director and he may not take you in his next film. You may find people who you counted on, not standing by you during your low phase. One has to be careful on what basis you are building your friendships," she said.
On vibes she shares with other top Bollywood actresses, Katrina says, "Actresses are not friends because there is no time. We are too much into each other’s space to be friends, but I am cordial with Preity Zinta, Kareena and Priyanka and we hang out whenever we meet."
Katrina said she started working at a very young age. "I am aware that I have to figure my path from here as an individual and as a woman, about the decisions I have to take in life."
To a question on her comments that she would get married in two years, Katrina said, "I don’t know why I said that. It’s said that man proposes and god disposes. I may have this lovely plan but who knows two years from now we may be sitting in this same room discussing a new film or my wedding."
The actress said it was just a thought.. "Waking up with a silly dream in my head."
On her accented Hindi posing a bit of a problem, the actress said, "Every one speaks with an accent. For ’Raajneeti’, I wanted to erase the accent during dubbing especially for difficult words. Even Arjun Rampal did not know the meaning of the word Aadyashakti which I knew."
Katrina said even though it has not been stated in clear terms, her character in the film, which is a rich, spoilt brat, has probably studied abroad."Apart from guiding me, Salman had confidence in me. He is not the person to say that because he is friendly with you. He will say it genuinely," said Katrina.
The 25-year-old actress feels that it was her destiny that she came into the Hindi film industry and succeeded. She has many people to thank for her soaring career here."There are too many people whom I can call my godfather. I am grateful and indebted to them. Even Akshay Kumar took a risk in working with me initially," she said.
"He did not know me at all. He was at crossroads of his career. When he did ’Namastey London’, people thought he had gone insane. Nobody is going to damage or destroy himself to help somebody else. Salman and Akshay believed in me and that is my good fortune and destiny," she said.
Katrina says the fact that her earlier films did well at the box office was a "miracle", helping her weave the success story.
"Had those films failed, nobody could have done anything for me. I don’t think I would have got a second chance if the movies bombed," she said.
The actress is appalled at how the media romantically links everyone with anyone.
"By doing this, media is discounting its own credibility. It is not possible to have so many link ups. This is the film industry and not a dating industry. One cannot be that fickle. We also have morals. Our professions may be different..Even an infatuation does not change that fast," she said apparently referring to her rumoured relationship with co-star Ranbir Kapoor.
Also, Katrina does not believe that on screen chemistry between two co-stars makes a film work.
"It is the film that works. I and Salman worked in ’Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya’ and ’Partner’ which were successes, but ’Yuvvraj’ crashed," she pointed out.

Genelia favourite face amongst Indian TV Advertisers
Bollywood Cutie Actress Genelia isn't counted in the ranks of Bollywood Actress Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor or Katrina Kaif, but Genelia D’Souza still has more brand endorsements in her side than any of the Bollywood leading Actress.
With about 9-11 endorsement deals Genelia D’Souza has undoubtedly become the favourite face amongst Indian TV Advertisers. And the girl is all kicked about the fact that she adorns the TV screens in every commercial break. “I feel happy that people don’t get bored seeing my face so often on TV,” she jokes and adds, “Shooting for these ads give me a great high. The concepts and creativity make it super fun.”
We further ask Genelia D’Souza what makes her click with the advertisers? “I think it’s my girl next door image. The brands I endorse are targeted towards the youth and it’s due to my bubbly nature that the youth can relate to me better than other actresses.”
As We Know, the only other Bollywood face that is such a regular when it comes to advertisements is Bollywood King Shahrukh Khan who endorses products right from pens and talcum powder to hair oil and underwear. And with her endorsement line-up, seems Genelia D’Souza all set to match up Shahrukh Khan.

Katrina Kaif continues to step out fearlessly
Katrina Kaif is increasingly becoming a security hazard to herself. In spite of the constant flow of stalkers and mobs, she continues to step out fearlessly, some would say recklessly, without care about repercussions.
While Salman Khan has always believed in following security measures, all efforts to convince Katrina to do the same fell on deaf ears. In fact, Katrina has always disregarded security threats. Some time ago, when hordes of young and old people descended on her at a public gathering, she had fobbed off the security arrangements made by the organizers arguing, "They love me. They can never harm me."
But her latest daredevilish disregard for all rules of self-preservation takes the cake. On Monday morning, when Katrina was required to fly to Bangalore for an event with Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina just hopped into a taxi with her hand luggage and took off much to the shock and disbelief of the cabbie, who had no clue about the VIP passenger he was carrying until he looked into his rear-view mirror.
While Katrina cracks up at the recollection of the moment when the cabbie spotted her in the rear, her Raajneeti crew were far from amused when they saw Katrina hop out of a cab unaccompanied (even her personal manager and constant companion came straight to the airport). Ranbir and Prakash Jha were seen soundly ticking her off for her disregard for security rules.
Katrina has been indulging in such reckless security-adventures much too often these days. According to a close friend, she takes off on her own, usually accompanied by her trusted driver and no other companion just for a spin far away to drive off loneliness.
But her latest adventure ride to the airport on her own has left Katrina's family far from amused. It has now been decided that Katrina's youngest sister Isabel, who has been studying cinema in the US, may cut short her acting course to join Katrina in Mumbai.
Katrina admits her family is worried about her safety. "But what's the big deal about hopping into a cab to rush to the airport? Thousands of girls do it all the time. What's there to get hyper? My driver was late because he got caught in a traffic snarl. If I waited any more, I would've missed my flight. So I waved for a cab, hopped in and zipped off." What concerns people close to Katrina is her utter obliviousness to obvious security dangers.
Says a close friend, "Katrina doesn't realize the effect that her solitary presence in crowded places can have on people. Hopping into a cab early morning in Mumbai when there are no cops around is just not done. But she refuses to believe anyone would harm her."
Katrina's family doesn't appreciate her all-izz-well-with-the-world philosophy. They've taken serious note of her carelessness towards basic protection rules. And her days of zipping off on her own in strangers' company are nearing an end, thanks to the timely intervention of her family.

Pawan Kalyan pair up with Ileana
Search for perfect jodi for Pawan Kalyan has come to an end. For the remake of Love Aaj Kal, director Jayant C Paranji had tried to rope in the original heroine Deepika Padukone and then tried for Katrina Kaif but finally made a wise decision to cast the numero uno actress of Tollywood.
