His latest film “Love Aaj Kal” has sent cash registers ringing, raking in Rs.8 crore (Rs.80 million) on the opening day itself, but director Imtiaz Ali (pictured left) says money is not a “driving factor” for making films, as cinema is his passion.

After playing Farhan Akhtar’s petite wife in “Rock On!”, Prachi Desai has now teamed up with Tusshar Kapoor in “Life Partner” and she had to shoot some intimate scenes in the film. While she insists she wasn’t uncomfortable, the actress admits she was definitely a bit shy.

Brazilian model Giselle Monteiro, who plays Hareleen Kaur in Imtiaz Ali’s “Love Aaj Kal”, couldn’t speak Hindi or dance to save her life.

The release of Hrithik Roshan’s much talked about film “Kites” may be postponed to next year.

The film, also starring Barbara Mori and Kangana Ranaut, will probably now release on January 15, 2010 and not December 18, 2009 as scheduled.

After the successful Swayamvar of Rakhi Sawant, NDTV Imagine is apparently planning to air one more Swayamvar. And, this time it will be that of a man, who’s just as much of a newsmaker as the newly-engaged item girl.

The Indian film fraternity is trying to seek 100,000 solidarity comments on a social networking website to urge the government to confer the prestigious Bharat Ratna upon Bollywood thespian Dilip Kumar.
