Super hero dressed as a Mughal emperor?

The look Abhishek has been given for his next film Drona is a bit unusal to say the least. It isn't the usual spandex or lyra outfits worn by Hollywood super heroes, but is almost an outfit out of a catwalk of Delhi fashion designers presenting a Pre-independance look show. Not that it looks bad, just that one usually doesn't associate super heroes or even people with mystical powers to be dressed like a prince or Nawab from Lucknow.

But to his credit AB carries it off as he is tall and lanky and the initial promotion has him standing in a very dramatic and decisive pose. But the important thing is if the story is good, entertaining, plausible, the movie is well made, and finally the performances. Many a good movie has crashed due to awful performances by supposedly good actors.

I somehow find the story quite appealing as it combines our beautiful and rich history with the modern era. If this movie does click then it will spawn a hash of movies trying to break "the barriers" so to say.

Also looking forward to see Piggy chops in an action role and also get a well desrved hit under her belt. Poor chick has been facing a lot of flak for her Love story 2050 debacle.

Aishwarya wearing ethnic outfits in Jodhaa Akbar and yet looking hot

I saw some pics of Aishwarya from the hugely anticipated movie Jodhaa Akbar. She is seen wearing ethnic outfits yet looking hot. The costumes are the traditional Ghagra Choli that are still worn in parts of Rajasthan but when you put Ash in them you can imagine how they get sexed up. The outfits show off her belly and yet look dignified.

Lucky for her its a period film and not much skin show was expected as it would give another reason for Abhishek to see red. He was reportedly upset when her much touted smooch with his buddy Hrithik in Dhoom 2. That was also the reason that he was stuck off the wedding invitation lists.

Who is the main lead in Rakeysh Mehra's Delhi 6?

Rakeysh Mehra's Delhi 6 is plagued with uncertainty over his male lead actor. Surprising since with a major and acclaimed hit on his hands - "Rang De Basanti", he should have actors queuing up to sign up.

He would have never predicted that the casting of his next film would become such a big problem. So the actors who were considered and/or approached are Hrithik, Akshay, Abhishek and last week's Hollywood actor. Finally a new name has cropped up. That of Aamir Khan's nephew, Imran Khan. This will mean that it will be his second film after Sanjay Gadhvi's Kidnap.

Delhi 6 is reportedly based on Delhi's monkey man menace that shook the Indian capital, a few years back.
