Charlie Sheen's Primetime show with Sridevi,Shah Rukh Khan Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai

There has been a rumour of Sridevi's comeback for many months now. But neither the filmmaker nor the actress was ready to confirm the news. 

Until now. 
For the first time, R Balki confirms that Ms Hawa Hawai is making a comeback in his wife Gauri Shinde's directorial debut this year. And she might also be paired in Balki's own directorial venture with Big B. 






Balki believes in placing Big B in challenging combinations with screen divas (Tabu as his sweetheart in Cheeni Kum, Vidya Balan as his mom in Paa) has solved the dilemma of how to accommodate the two larger-than-life stars together. In Gauri's film, Sridevi plays a housewife who sets out to find her own identity. She has a much more challenging role opposite Big B. 







Speaking for the first time on his wife's film, Balki says, "Yes, Sridevi will star in her film. And yes, I'm doing another project with Mr Bachchan. Like Cheeni Kum and Paa it is again an audacious idea that we are both hugely excited about. Will my film too star Sridevi? Why not? But at the moment it's too early to talk about the casting of my film."

The two were earlier paired together in the 1980s hit T Rama Rao's Inquilaab and in the 1990s in Mukul Anand's Khuda Gawah. Most producers shied away from pairing them together as they were seen to be individually too big in their stardom to be accommodated together. In fact Yash Chopra wanted to cast Big B and Sri together in Veer-Zaara. But the pairing didn't work out.

alman Khan is at his frankest best on Shaina NC's TV show titled India First. The socialite-cum-politician, who is friends with the actor, has managed to talk about the one subject he hates Shah Rukh Khan. 

In an interview that appears tomorrow, Salman Bhai reveals why he and SRK can't be friends' Shah Rukh Khan har show par jaa kar maafi mangte hai. Woh chahate to mere ghar par bhi aa kar maafi mang sakte the.

Lekin ab wo bhi samay gaya. Is jhagade ko shah rukh ne shuru kiya hai so use maintain bhi kare. Shah Rukh se dosti ke sare raaste band. He talked about the poaching case against him in Jaipur, Us din main akela nahi tha. Mere sath waha 12 log aur bhi the. Lekin vivado me main hi tha. Kyuki mera nam Salman Khan hai. Mujhe Rajsthan ke sadko ke bare me nahi pata to waha ke jungleloon ke raste kaise pata honge?

 Abhinav Kashyap said no to Salman Khan's Dabangg 2 because seemingly Shah Rukh Khan gave him a better offer. 

After frequent admittance and denial, it was finally reported today that Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap won't be directing the sequel. The report claimed that Kashyap didn't want to direct the sequel which he expressed to producer-actor Arbaaz Khan. With Abhinav's ouster, Arbaaz has taken over the directorial reins and will be directing the sequel now. 

However what is surprising is why did Abhinav Kashyap refuse to direct Dabangg 2 especially since it's a big project, more so after the immense success of the first part? The other side of the story seems to be untold. An industry insider claims, "Arbaaz was not willing to give Abhinav a good price as a director despite Dabangg being a huge hit. Kashyap expected a better remuneration. Other big banners were willing to offer him Rs 2-3 crores but he kept saying no to them because of his attachment to Dabangg . While he didn't expect that kind of money from Arbaaz, he surely expected something better than what he got for his debut film". 

But there seems to be an even bigger reason for Abhinav Kashyap to leave Dabangg. "Apparently Salman Khan's archrival Shah Rukh Khan managed to bowl over Kashyap with a mind-boggling offer", claims the source. " SRK is desperate to make a masala film starring himself and wanted Kashyap to direct it for him". As per trade sources Shah Rukh lured Kashyap by offering him a hefty fee of Rs 2 crores. 

But over the fact that money is good, Abhinav Kashyap seems more kicked about directing Shah Rukh Khan. "Also Shah Rukh was willing to offer complete creative freedom to Kashyap in terms of directing the film", adds the source. "It's a known fact that Salman Khan had things go his way during the making ofDabangg . Lines in the script were changed at the last minute. Also Abhinav did not sit for the editing". 

Kashyap seems to have taken a Dabangg step of shifting loyalties from Shah Rukh to Salman. Let's see if he is able to recreate the same success with the other big Khan of Bollywood.

No more media interviews -- Charlie Sheen is bringing the winning directly into your living room.

Sheen, whose wild interviews -- on The Today Show, 20/20 and on the radio -- and nowrecord-setting tweets have brought him unparalleled notoriety, will live stream at ustream.tv at 10 pm EST. He's calling the show "Sheen's Korner," and as the stream's website says, "You're either in Sheen's-Korner or you're with the trolls."

And no one wants to be with the trolls.

This is just the beginning of Charlie-casting -- Sirius XM Radio is starting an all Sheen, all the time station for the latest in Charlie news called "Tiger Blood Radio".

WATCH: 

Everyone now knows that Charlie Sheen has "tiger blood" pumping wildly through his veins and "Adonis DNA" mapping a destiny of immortality. Charlie, tell us something we don't know.

Despite his purported superhuman qualities, the delusional star is currently fighting to regain custody of his twin boys, facing one of the biggest personal and legal battles of his life. Punching matches against his demons of addiction or newfound enemies at CBS now look like small potatoes. Though, through his desperate attempts to become the only news, Sheen is inadvertently sowing the seeds of courtroom defeat.

Tuesday evening, the night that the embattled star was forced to surrender his sons at his posh Los Angeles mansion, was just the latest twist in Charlie Sheen's catatonic, public meltdown. This dramatic event came after Sheen's soon-to-be-ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, obtained an emergency restraining order against the sitcom legend. Mueller claims Sheen recently threatened to kill her and that she feared for her and her children's safety. In typical Charlie Sheen style, all of the brouhaha went down before the cameras, babies in tow. Thoroughly exploitative, it was bad theater that has now gone viral at the behest of this limelight loving dad. From Piers Morgan to 20/20 to Good Morning America to The Today Show, Sheen, with guns ablaze has hijacked our televisions as a platform for his ranting. With the media attention as his narcotic, the pursuit of this publicity charade is sorely misguided, narcissistic and strategically destructive. Flouting a rock star lifestyle replete with drug and alcohol abuse, prostitution and violence, Sheen's incoherent musings are music to Mueller's attorneys' ears. Charlie Sheen is Exhibit A of the evidence, undermining any custody claim he may have hoped to have in this case.

Despite anything that Sheen may utter, there are two basic legal questions that a California family court will evaluate in the custody dispute, if it in fact ever goes to court. Were the terms of the custody agreement between Sheen and Mueller breached? What custody arrangement is in the best interest of their children?

Disturbing in its vivid detail, Brooke Mueller's sworn court statement reads like the treatment for a Lifetime Original, depicting the couple's depressing history of domestic violence and substance abuse. Her damning accusations state that Sheen took their children without her knowledge in violation of established custody arrangements, physically abused her, made death threats and lives in a manner completely unsuitable for the care of their twins.

It has become a classic, he said, she said. Sheen, who infamously assaulted Mueller on Christmas Day 2009 in Aspen with a knife to her throat, reacted quickly by taking to the tube. He vehemently denied these new claims and exposed Mueller's own continued problems with addiction, his words bordering on contempt.

In court papers, Mueller admits to her struggle against substance abuse, but notes her steadfast attempts at rehabilitation. She mentions the support of her mother in assisting with the care of her children as she moves through the rehabilitation process. Mueller also claims that Sheen has mocked and actively tried to interfere with her attempts to get sober. Sheen has publicly laughed off suggestions that he seek rehabilitation treatment.

It looks as though both pots are calling the kettles black here. There is no doubt that each parent has their share of problems. But with this set of facts and all the mudslinging between Sheen and Mueller, how would a judge likely rule in this case if it were to hit the courtroom?

The family court would either severely restrict or fully revoke Charlie Sheen's custody rights. Evidence seems to indicate that Sheen violated the terms of his child sharing arrangements and that being under Sheen's care would jeopardize the welfare of the couple's young boys. Additionally, since Sheen has been so brazen in the media about his recent drug use, a judge would also likely order him into traditional rehab and to submit to periodic drug testing in order to have unmonitored visits with his children.

There is also the slight chance a judge would decide that neither Sheen nor Mueller is capable of raising the twins given their record of substance abuse and violence together. Under that unlikely scenario, the court would appoint a relative to serve as the children's guardian. While each parent's drug and alcohol issues would certainly be relevant to the court, it is Sheen's pattern of alleged violent behavior toward Mueller and other women, including his ex-wife Denise Richards, that would really be the key factor in considering future custody.

No matter how cool Charlie Sheen thinks he is, family court is no fan of domestic violence or blatant hubris. The main topic for discussion at this juncture would be the important question of whether Charlie Sheen is actually a fit parent. A family court judge will not care whether Mr. Sheen is "special" or entitled to $3 million per episode on Two and a Half Men. Completely irrelevant. No matter what the outcome of this custody war becomes, Charlie Sheen has willingly invited us into his raucous, reality sitcom. Whether a brilliant media manipulator, an attention-starved Hollywood prima donna, or a wild mash-up of both, millions are captivated by the train wreck. If Sheen truly wants his kids back, a genuine display of humility and remorse as well as a true commitment to getting his life under control could go a long way. It will not only help his custody case but will aid in rebuilding a shattered public image.

Ultimately, a primetime mea culpa is the only thing that can save Charlie Sheen. He should stop whining and talking utter nonsense to an unsympathetic public that has their own financial and family struggles. Instead, he needs to get a grip and use the media as well as his privileged life position to actually say and do something socially redeemable. Network after network after network, and it hasn't happened yet. Don't hold your breath.
