Abhishek Bachchan is the new brand ambassador for Arvind Brands’ denim company, Flying Machine, the first Indian jeans brand. Abhishek unveiled the autumn collection at a press conference and commented that,
Flying Machine reflects the pride of India and is a phenomenal example of India’s potential at present day. Their designs, quality and value are top notch and that this is done by an Indian Brand is remarkable.
The company’s designer is the young Italian, Chicco, who has been a designer for many internationally successful denim brands and is now working for Flying Machine. The even took place at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai, Wednesday night.
Abhishek was on hand to help the Khushii foundation — an NGO working for to help and benefit children from street. Alongside Mom Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek worked on several paintings, donating all the earnings towards the foundation. The evening was co-hosted by Nisha Jamvwal and Abhishek Lodha in association with Hello! It was held at the Hilton Hotel, Saturday night in Mumbai. Here are some pictures from the evening:
Ramu will soon start working with Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Ajay Devgan for his next project ‘Cobra’. The movie is being made by RGV’s Factory together with Adlabs. More big names will be added to the cast in the future.
Seems like RGV is all set to repeat the disastrous effects of ‘Aag’, in which he worked with the same actors. Also, isn’t it weird that The Big B signed this movie considering he’s been bad mouthing Ramu all around town and expressing his displeasure with the director’s attempt at the Sholay remake?
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai were in Toronto promoting their ‘Unforgettable Tour’, which was announced at the IIFA awards a few months ago.
The tour will kick start in Toronto in the Summer of 2008 and will feature a wide array of Bollywood big shots such as Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Lara Dutta, and Ritesh Deshmukh. There will also be concerts in Vancouver, New York, Los Angeles, London, Cairo, Sydney, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Well, this is news to me but Aishwarya Rai has been paired opposite Steve Martin in the sequel to ‘The Pink Panther’, which will be releasing in 2009. Aishwarya Rai was spotted taken a stroll with her hubby, Abhishek Bachchan, while on a break from shooting in Paris.
The first promos and posters for Pradeep Sarkar’s (of ‘Parineeta’ fame) next, ‘Laga Chunari Mein Daag’, are out. The movie stars Rani Mukherjee, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Kunal Kapoor and Anupam Kher, and is being released under the Yash Raj banner.
Now, is it just me or do Konkona and Mrs. Bachchan looks eerily alike in the poster? Abhishek looks ridiculous, as per usual. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a very handome man but he really needs a change in wardrobe.
Anyway, the trailer looks pretty promising. Check it out.
Ram Gopal Varma can really pull of amazing feats. After having the Bachchan crew once in his film, he will do it again. Before even completing the sequel to his film Sarkar, he is in the works of creating a new movie with the Bachchan camp. A source close to the director tipped us off:
Ramu has planned to rope in Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya for Time Machine. The director took the decision of reviving the film during the outdoor shoot of his film Sarkar Raj which is currently in progress in Hyderabad.
Ram must be a pleasure working with, usually Amitabh likes to switch things up, but he has stayed loyal to Ram and the pair are helping each other create amazing blockbusters. We can’t wait to hear more news on the film.
Abhishek Bachchan has agreed to work with Vivek Oberoi, the former lover of Aishwarya Rai, in Apoorva Lakhia’s upcoming project Mission Istanbul. Vivek Oberoi wasn’t invited to the Abhi-Ash wedding. It is also been said that Abhishek and Vivek are not on very good terms and avoid any interactions. The producer of the movie, Suniel Shetty, is not too concerned and had this to say:
Why should they have a problem? Abhishek is a thorough professional. He has no problem with anybody. Yes, they do have scenes together in Mission Istanbul. And I am sure they’ll do them splendidly. It’s very unfair to bring in personal matters to question their professionalism. The script is still being worked out. Neither Abhishek nor Vivek have expressed any misgivings about working together. There is unnecessary speculation.
It’ll be interesting to see how things work out and if any names mysteriously drop out of the bill. We’ll just have to wait and see.
At a special viewing of Jhoom Barabar Jhoom Abhishek and Aishwarya were seen making a commotion and throwing coins at the movie screen each time Abhishek’s face was shown. What they did not realize was that their throws were short and were hitting the heads of everyone in the front row. Their cheering and horseplay was not appreciated even by the director Shaad Ali. He tried to calm them down to no avail. He had this to say about the situation:
After some time I felt like collecting those coins and throwing them back at Abhishek. He was too thrilled and did not realize that the coins were landing on our heads. They needed good aiming skills for the coins to land at the screen.
They sound very childish and other cast members like: Bobby Deol and Lara Dutta stayed indifferent and kept quiet while Preity Zinta joined in on the disturbance. Maybe the couple is still drunk off their marriage and taking it out on everyone else.
The Unforgettable Tour was announced today by Wiz Craft International Entertainment, the organizers of IIFA Weekend. Today they released word of the huge world tour featuring: Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya, Abhishek Bachchan, Lara Dutta, Bipasha Basu and Ritesh Deshmukh. Also on hand were: Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Govinda, Sohail Khan and David Dhawan promoting their soon to be released film Partner. This tour will surely be a huge success with all the big names on the bill — we can’t wait and see what happens.
