Priyanka-Aamir in Three Musketeers remake?

Author Alexandre Dumas' popular novel Three Musketeers is likely to be turned into a film in Hindi.

PVR Pictures is said to be in talks with Summit Entertainment, the distributors of Hollywood film The Three Musketeers, for the Hindi remake and reportedly they are considering Aamir Khan and Priyanka Chopra to play prominent roles.

"They are considering casting Aamir as the Duke of Buckingham and Priyanka as Milady de Winter, who is one of the antagonists in the film. But the actors to play three musketeers are still not known," the source told IANS.

Three Musketeers talks about Porthos, Athos and Aramis who served the king of France as his best musketeers. After discovering an evil conspiracy to overthrow the king, the musketeers come across a young, aspiring hero, D'Artagnan, and take him under their wing. Together, the four embark on a mission to bust the plot that not only threatens the crown, but the future of Europe itself. Source

Amir Khan says no to sex!

It may not be good news for all the ladies who are desperate to go a few rounds with Amir Khan in the bedroom as the British boxer revealed that he is refraining from having sex.

The 24-year-old is in the middle of a gruelling, self-imposed sex ban and has vowed not to break it until after his next title defence at Manchester’s Men Arena on April 16, reports the Daily Star.

It means he’s not interested in romping with any of his female fans— including Katie Price.

“I don’t think you should have sex before a fight. Why risk one thing that may affect your performance when you can enjoy it later?” he said.

Peepli Live is India's official entry for Oscars

Aamir Khan's Peepli Live, depicting the growing rural-urban divide in India, has been selected as India's official entry to next year's Oscars in the Best Foreign Film category.

"Peepli Live has been selected as India's official entry for the Oscars out of 27 films," Supran Sen, secretary general of the Film Federation of India, told PTI.

Directed by debutant Anusha Rizvi, the film stars theatre actors and was shot in a small village in Madhya Pradesh.

The film also takes pot shots at the media and the political system in the country.

This is third time lucky for Aamir Khan Production as the actor's previous films Lagaan (2001) and Taare Zameen Par (2007) were also selected to represent India at the Academy awards.

Laagan, which saw Aamir playing a farmer in British Raj, was shortlisted in a category of five but lost to Bosnian war film No Man's Land.

Bebo gives it up for Aamir!

Don’t make any plans for Kareena Kapoor’s birthday this year.
The actress who turns 29 on September 21, is going to be busy on her film 3 Idiots with Aamir Khan, so bechara Saif Ali Khan will have to rework whatever surprise he had in mind for his Bebo.

Originally, she had wanted to spend time with Saif, mother Babita, sister Karisma and niece Samaira around her birthday... but tragedy struck Aamir’s close and happy little khandaan, and Kareena stepped to the rescue.

You know that Aamir’s wife Kiran Rao suffered a miscarriage earlier this month, and that Aamir promised Kiran he would take time off from 3 Idiots to help her recuperate from the trauma.

What Aamir didn’t realise when he made that emotional commitment was that he had given dates with Kareena to shoot a song in Mumbai during the very same period. Hesitantly, he called up his co-star and asked if she would reorganise her own diary to accommodate him at another time. And Kareena agreed, at the cost of her own birthday plans, because she realised how big Kiran’s trauma was.

Now Kareena and Aamir will shoot the song from September 25 to October 2 in Mumbai. She was in Switzerland all the while and is expected back in Mumbai today. While Aamir is in Europe. The actor has left behind his two cell phones and prefers to be incommunicado for the period that he spends with Kiran. He wants nothing to come in the way of her recuperation.
