After doing comedy in his theatre days, actor NawazuddinSiddiqui is excited to try comedy for the first time with his film ‘Ghoomketu’.

“`Ghoomketu` is an out-and-out comedy film and I am doing such a film for the first time. However, I did a lot of comedy during my theatre days,” the 39-year-old said here Wednesday at the Top Gear awards.

“The star cast of the film is very good, AnuragKashyap, SwanandKirkire my batchmate and RaghubirYadav,” he added.

Besides ‘Ghoomketu’, Nawazuddin has six to seven films lined up for the year.

“Besides `Ghoomketu` there is `Mountain Man`, Ketan Mehta`s `Monsoon shootout` and `Liar`s Dice` which was at the Sundance festival this time. Another film is `Haramkhor`,” said Nawazuddin.

He was recently seen in ‘Miss Lovely’ and ‘The Lunchbox’.

Alia Bhatt already seems to be getting experimental – after playing a fashion-conscious and arrogant young girl in her debut film ‘Student Of The Year’ she will now be seen as a deglamourised character in ‘Highway’. She says she won`t do something as bizarre as going bald for a movie, but she`s game to being bold.

Her father, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, is known to have produced several bold movies like ‘Murder’, ‘Jism’, ‘Raaz’ and ‘Kalyug’ and Alia doesn`t find it tough to take up bold roles.

So what if she started her career with a typical Karan Johar film? The actress said: “I would love to do a film like `Murder`.”

“As far as my limitations are concerned, I would never shave my head for any role and so far as bold scenes are concerned, I have no issues at all,” the 20-year-old said.

Her connect with her father goes beyond her appreciation for his body of work. She keeps her personal life private, but admits she turns to him for advice regarding her professional decisions.

“I don`t discuss my personal life with my father, but I discuss my work with him a lot. We have become closer since I have become an actor. My mother (SoniRazdan) tries to ask everything, but I keep things to myself,” she said.

As a person, she believes she is like her father.

“I have his will power. I am like him and I value my audience,” she said.

Alia is also very sensitive and protective of what people say of her family members.

“I don`t like it when people go on about my family. Because of me, they bring in my father and sister (Pooja Bhatt) and I don`t like it. Write as much as you want to about my clothes…I don`t care, but I am very protective about my family.

Actress Shilpa Shetty is so much impressed with Harman Baweja`s performance as gangster Vicky Kartoos in ‘Dishkiyaoon’ that she sees the film as Harman`s first film and feels the actor has not been tapped to his true potential as an actor.

“For me `Dishkiyaaoon` is Harman`s first film, really. After this film, you are surely going to like him,” Shilpa said here Wednesday at the launch of a song from the film.

“I really feel that he has not been tapped of his true potential. He is a very hard working boy. He has worked really hard over his character of Vicky Kartoos in the film,” she added.

Harman made his acting debut in 2008 with “Love Story 2050”. Later, he was seen in the films ‘Victory’, ‘What`s Your Raashee?’ and recently in ‘GoriTerePyaar Mein’, where he did a cameo.

However, now Shilpa feels the audience would not only love the film but also Harman, who has done a fantastic work in the film.

“He (Harman Baweja) deserves to get your (audience) love. I hope this film becomes a hit and I wish he gets all the love from the audience,” Shilpa said.

Slated to release March 28, ‘Dishkiyaoon’ is an action thriller. Directed by debutant Sanamjit Singh Talwar, the film also features actor Sunny Deol and newcomer Ayesha Khanna.

Katrina Kaif’s relationship status with RanbirKapoor may be complicated or even non-existent at present but at least the Dhoom 3 actress has one alleged ex-boyfriend she can count on.

In an interview, Katrina Kaif said: “Salman Khan is always there, he is always just a message away. I am still very much in touch with him.”

Trouble in the Katrina-Ranbir paradise was reported after their recent holiday to New York and though they were spotted at Aamir Khan’s some weeks ago – albeit arriving separately – they are believed to have spent Valentine’s Day apart.

Salman, on the other hand, is famously close to both Katrina as well as another ex-girlfriend, former model and actress SangeetaBijlani. And it’s not just the muscle-bound Dabangg star who watches out for Katrina, the entire Khan-daan does. “We are the only family she has here. She gets pulled up by me, my sister, my father, my mother. And she has to listen, she’s good at listening,” Salman told sources in 2012, a day before the blockbuster EkTha Tiger – starring Salman and Katrina – released.

So it was Salman Katrina turned to when it came to her sister Isabel’s Bollywood debut – Dr Cabbie, which co-stars Speedy Singhs’ VinayVirmani and The Big Bang Theory’s KunalNayyar, features Salman’s name as co-producer.

Of course, Salman knows all about Being Human but, when it comes to Katrina Kaif, we suspect it goes a little further than just being gentlemanly towards an former flame.
