Sonam Kapoor hikes her fee?

Sonam Kapoor, the lady who has been associated with meaningful cinema, has apparently hiked her fee. According to a leading daily, Sonam reportedly demanded a whopping Rs 5 crore for a South movie. The 29-year-old actress has hiked her fee after her last outing `Bhaag Milkha Bhaag` became a huge hit last year. Sonam has done some good cinema in the past such as `Dilli 6` and `Mausam` but this sudden hike in the fee left the filmmaker shocked, who reportedly had to change his mind of casting her in the movie. Sonam will next be seen in 1980 Rekha starrer `Khoobsurat` by the same name, opposite Pakistani import Fawad Khan. The film is slated to hit the screens on September 12, 2014.

Aamir Khan bares it all for PK

Bollywood's Mr Perfectionist is known to surprise his fans every time he hits the silver screen, but this time, he has certainly upped the quotient. Aamir Khan, who has in the past gone bald and even waxed his legs for movies, has now bared it all for his next movie 'PK.' Aamir Khan tweeted the first poster of the movie which shows the actor covering his modesty with a mere stereo. The 48-year-old actor for the first time has bared it all for any movie onscreen. This is the the second time that the Bollywood's perfectionist is teaming up with Hirani after the stupendous success of '3 Idiots'. The Rajkumar Hirani directed film, which has Aamir Khan sharing screen space with Anushka Sharma and Sushant Singh Rajput, is set for release on December 19, 2014.

Hrithik Roshan upset with 'fabricated' alimony reports

Not too long ago, news of Sussanne Roshan, estranged wife of actor Hrithik Roshan, demanding Rs 400 crore as alimony amount was doing the rounds. But the actor is visibly upset and disillusioned with the speculation and has tweeted about the same expressing his astonishment over the hullabaloo. Hrithik tweeted “Fabricated news articles. Demeaning my loved ones. Testing my patience.” Hrithik and Sussanne were one of the most happening couples until they announced their separation in December last year. The  couple subsequently filed for divorce in April this year. Hrithik and Sussanne tied the knot on December 20, 2000 and are parents to Hrehaan and Hridaan.

Jamie Foxx to Headline Mike Tyson Biopic

As one of the most controversial sports figures of his generation, boxing legend Mike Tyson's life is ripe for material that would make a compelling film. Jamie Foxx has indeed signed on to play Iron Mike on the big screen and the film will also be produced by Foxx's manager Rick Yorn. Since it's still extremely early in pre-production, the untitled project is without a director or studio distribution, but that should change soon now that Foxx is officially on board. Previously, HBO brought Tyson's story to the screen in the form of the 1995 movie Tyson, which starred Michael Jai White, but this is the first time such a production will be distributed theatrically. As of now, there are no indications as to what moments of Tyson's life will be featured, but the filmmakers will certainly have their fair share to choose from. The boxer's talents displayed in the ring will make for thrilling action sequences, but his tumultuous life outside of the sport (including a six-year stint in prison and a 2003 bankruptcy claim) should provide plenty of dramatic content for the movie.
