Koena Mitra fuming and fretting at her director
Dusky model turned actress Koena Mitra is fuming and fretting at the director of her forthcoming film Anamika .
Koena has refused to take part in any of the promotions for ‘Anamika’, a film in which she co-stars with Dino Morea and Minissha Lamba .
Koena is angry about the final product as it is nowhere close to what was promised to her according to a sympathiser and close friend of Koena.
Reports are that the director has not delivered what he promised her and Koena has got a raw deal.
So while director Ananth Mahadevan has been offering Koena's cellphone number to anyone who cares to ask, and maybe those who don't care to know too, Koena refuses to take the calls for clarifications.

Aamir Khan injured while shooting for Ghajini
After having won accolades by a ton for Taare Zameen Par and with his new film Ghajini generating curiosity every passing day, life couldn't have been better for 'The Perfectionist' Aamir Khan.
But luck had something else in store for him in the form of a hamstring muscle injury while performing an action sequence for Ghajini. The scene was such that Aamir had to pick up a very bulky man and throw him against the wall and due to this Aamir pulled his hamstring muscle while he was enacting the action scene. This happened at Ramuji Rao Studios in Hyderabad yesterday. A Physiotherapist was then called in for Aamir.
The Ghajini team has been canning some complex action shots since past few days which are important part of the film. However, due to Aamir's injury, the shooting of the film has been indefinitely postponed.

First look: Chandni Chowk To China
Action-comedy is Akshay Kumar's forte and Nikhil Advani's Chandni Chowk To China seems to be just what the box office doctors ordered. "Action and comedy are Akshay's forte and I'm glad to direct him in a film that is written by someone else," Advani said.
Jointly produced by Warner Brothers and Rohan Sippy, Chandni Chowk To China fits the athletic star like a glove. It will give Akshay a chance to return to his rugged Khiladi roots, with lots of sophisticated fight sequences thrown in.
"It's an action comedy. It's a very big film to be shot in the Far East with very sophisticated technical effects done abroad. It would be more than Dhoom 2, but would be very much like Dhoom in mood. Dhoom had more comic elements.... Call it talent or luck, but right now I'm only riding piggyback on the reputation of Rohan Sippy and Akshay," Advani revealed.
Akshay, who is paired with Deepika Padukone, gave four hits last year - Namastey London, Heyy Babyy, Welcome and Bhool Bhulaiyaa.

Preity nearly loses eye, Bachchan's doctor to the rescue
Preity flew into Mumbai on Wednesday from her busy schedule in Mohali to record a promotional clipping for the Bachchans' Unforgettable concerts.
If you've been wondering why Preity is seen in dark glasses at all her IPL events in and out of Mohali, it's not for fashionable causes. A seemingly minor eye injury two weeks ago blew up into a serious problem for Preity Zinta. "Anything could've happened," she shudders. "At an event in Mohali, two weeks ago, a stranger's elbow jabbed into my eye. I felt the room swim. And the eye got immediately swollen. But after ice-pack treatment for hours it seemed to be in control. Little did I know what was in store."
In the next few days Preity's eye condition worsened. "The pupil acquired every colour in the rainbow, and the cornea shrank. I was in a panic. My mother was so worried. Finally, I went to a really good doctor, the same one who looks after the Bachchans' eyes. At last my eye is healed." Now Preity intends to maintain a safe distance from crowds during her public appearances in Mohali.
The Bachchans and Preity seem to be bonded in more ways than one. And the bonding gets stronger now that Preity joins them on their world tour. "I'm very fond of Jayaji and Amitji. And Abhishek is a chum. I also think Aishwarya is very cool. In fact, I'm now joining them on their world tour in July. And really looking forward to it."
Unlike the other actors like Akshay Kumar and Shahid Kapoor who would be making appearances at selected venues, Preity will be accompanying the Bachchans throughout their 2-month tour.
Several actresses who were verbally committed to join the Bachchans chickened out with lame excuses. Putting aside her plans to return to acting after the IPL activities in July Preity decided to join the Bachchans for their world concerts.
She brushes off any suggestion of largesse. "I don't know why the other actresses aren't going. The Bachchans are my buddies. They asked me, I agreed. As simple as that. In fact, I've been on a world tour with them before and I had myself a ball. I'm looking forward to this one too. And I do not care who's going with them, or not."
What she does care about is the oncoming IPL matches in Mohali and not only for the matches. "The people there are so warm and friendly. Ness and I have begun to care for the town. See while the others in the IPL have got developed cities, we're the only ones who were given a town that's growing. And we're so proud to be part of that growth. Mohali is an air-force base so only army planes land there. There's already talk of an international airport and several luxury hotels in the town, all thanks to the IPL."
Speaking of her team's rocking music video Preity giggles, "Ram Madhvani shot our film exactly the way we wanted. Daler Mehndi captured the flavour and ethos of Punjab so wonderfully in his song. We wanted it to be about the spirit of the game and we wanted the people of Chandigarh and Mohali to participate. I made just a fleeting appearance in it. It felt good. I haven't faced the camera for some months."
