Priyanka Chopra is Akshay’s favorite
Akshay and Priyanka`s first movie together was "Andaaz" in 2003. After that they gave hits like "Aitraaz" (2004), "Mujhse Shaadi Karogi" (2004) and "Waqt - The Race Against Time" (2005).
Now Akshay want to work with Priyanka Chopra again, "But will she do a film with me? The ball is in her court. I mostly do comedies. I think Priyanka hardly ever acts in comedies," Akshay told reporters.
"We`re all professionals here. And the two of us have done very successful films in the past. I`d love to work with Priyanka Chopra again. Mujhe koi aitraaz nahin hai (I don`t have any problem). But I`m only doing comedy films these days. I don`t know whether she wants to do a comedy film. Even Farah Khan`s `Tees Maar Khan` is a comedy," said Akshay.
Having decided he would do predominantly comedy roles, Akshay is now on the look-out for ways to make it interesting. "Even if it`s a comedy, it better be interesting. If I continue doing the same thing over and over again, I`d be asked to pack up sooner than I`d like."
Akshay had a ball doing his just released "Housefull" that also stars Arjun Rampal, Riteish Deshmukh, Lara Dutta, Deepika Padukone and Jiah Khan.
"Not just the three ladies, but also Riteish and Arjun. Riteish was great fun. Shooting was a playground with him around. He just cracks me up."
"We once put all the cutlery at the breakfast table in a hotel in Italy in Jiah Khan`s bag and told the waiter to check her bag. Jiah took it sportingly. Arjun too has great comic timing. Lara is such an elegant lady and yet she can be one of the boys when it comes to comedy."

Punit Malhotra not seeing Sonam Kapoor
With Bollywood rife with rumours of Punit Malhotra, the debutant director of ‘I Hate Luv Storys’ dating Sonam Kapoor, the former has categorically denied in loud and clear terms that he is not dating the svelte actress.
Speaking on his so-called love affair with Sonam, Punit challenged the veracity of such baseless reports.
Talking to a news daily about his alleged affair, Punit said, “All that is being written about Sonam and me is rubbish. I am very much single.”
Albeit, there have been reports suggesting Sonam Kapoor going out with Punit Malhotra on a dinner date.
On the contrary, a close friend of Punit said, “That day, Sonam and Punit hadn’t gone out on a private date. They were at a common friend Shiraz Siddique’s party where there were more than 50 guests. They were seen getting into their respective cars but that’s simply because their cars were parked nearby.”

Aishwarya confident more Tamil Movies after RAAVAN
Aishwarya Rai Bachhan started her film career withTamil film ‘Iruvar’ in 1997, directed by Mani Ratnam, Now she feels "confident" about doing more Tamil films only now after the multilingual ‘Raavan’ with the National Award winning director.
’Raavan’ is Ratnam`s much-awaited project and also stars Abhishek Bachchan, southern superstar Vikram and Bhojpuri star Ravi Kishan. The movie has been simultaneously shot in Hindi and Tamil, with a slightly different cast.
Aishwarya plays Ragini, a classical dance teacher. The first look into the movie shows her dancing gracefully in a song where she has been picturised getting cosy with Vikram, who plays her husband in the Hindi version of the film.
One mention of how beautiful the dance moves looked, and Aishwarya said: "Aww...Thank you so much."
Talking about her role, she said: "This was an extremely challenging role for me. To shoot it in Hindi and Tamil at the same time was quite a task. But the experience was so wonderful that if Mani sir asks me, I am ready to do it all over again."
"Ragini is a strong woman and very relatable to the modern Indian woman. She speaks her mind. I say discovery because we kept discovering fantastic locations and got to see so many places. We used to trek every morning to be on the sets…
"The role remained a mystery because I was playing the leading lady and there I was with no make-up, no fancy clothes and all drenched in rain with mud all over. But that`s what Mani sir expects from us to keep it all as real as it can get," she said.
