I'm game for Bollywood masala movies: Sonam Kapoor

She may have so far
done non-glam roles in films that bordered on arthouse cinema, but Sonam Kapoor says she is all game for hardcore Bollywood commercial films. However, there is one condition she has.

Sonam Kapoor is often compared to Deepika Padukone because the two beauties began their Bollywood innings on the same Friday when their respective films Saawariya and Om Shanti Om released. Since then, Deepika has made headway into Bollywood commercial cinema, while Sonam has kept herself to arty films.

In an industry where actors run the risk of getting stereotyped unless they keep doing different roles, Sonam has got an image of a girl who’s interested only in arthouse cinema where she gets to play serious roles. But this, Sonam says, is a misconception.


“It's a misconception that after films like 'Saawariya' and 'Delhi-6', I'm only looking at films with serious overtones. All I look for is meat in my role,” Sonam is quoted as saying by a news agency.

Last seen in Rakesh Omprakash Mehra’s Delhi 6 , the slim and tall beauty added that she’s all game for doing movies “that are set in commercial parlance”, but she can’t be just arm candy for a hero.

“See, I have never looked down upon hardcore commercial cinema. It's just that I never wish to be an arm candy who does four songs, a couple of scenes and then vanishes away from screen. Those are not at all the kind of roles that excite me,” she revealed.

Sonam added that even commercial films sometimes have good parts for actresses and she would like to do those kinds of roles.

“Who says Bollywood masala movies do not have good roles for heroines? Look at what Lara Dutta did in No Entry . Now that's a kind of role that I certainly don't mind doing,” she gushed.

Another one of Sonam’s favourite is Priyanka Chopra’s role in the gay comedy Dostana .

Sonam is presently slated to act in dad Anil Kapoor’s production Ayesha .

Ranbir Kapoor loves rains

It is raining all over Mumbai and guess who is madly in love with rains – its Bollywood’s current chocolate boy Ranbir Kapoor.

Ranbir talking about rain says, “I love the rains. I can sit in one spot for hours and just keep staring at the water coming down endlessly. If I am in a happy mood and it rains, I feel happier, but if I am unhappy about something then the rains calm me down. It’s almost as though the rains are a form of therapy for me. I once read a lovely quote by Charlie Chaplin about the rains, ‘I love walking in the rain cause then no one knows I am crying’. That’s what the rains are to me. A strange mixture of joy, melancholy and peace all at the same time! Only thing really is that this city is so grey and beautiful in the rains that it makes me want to work less and just drive around all day.”

So girls now you know how to woo your favorite hero.

Salman avoids New York

While everybody is going ga-ga about New York and John’s girlfriend Bipasha Basu specially flew to Mumbai to watch her boyfriend’s performance in New York, there was no sign of Katrina’s man Salman at the premiere of the flick.

A close friend of Katrina says, “It really puzzles and hurts her why Salman chooses to ignore all her films. It isn’t as if he doesn’t watch any films.He does. But when it comes to Katrina, he seems to suffer from a mental block. He won’t see her films.”

She doesn’t miss any of Salman’s films. Whether it’s a premiere or just a regular screening, Katrina is always there to support anything that Salman does.”

Apparently Salman cannot handle when it when his beautiful girlfriend Katrina romances her co-star onscreen and this is the reason why he stays away from watching her movies.

She will attend music launch of ‘Blue’

Kylie Minogue made much news when she was in India earlier this year to sing and shoot a song in Bollywood film "Blue" and the Australian pop sensation is now set to return in August to promote the movie, says director Tony D'Cruz.

On June 12, she was seen having dinner with the "Blue" director at an Italian restaurant in London called La Estella. The two have apparently become good friends and are in constant touch with each other.

"Yes, Kylie and I did have dinner together. I was on the way back from South Africa after watching an IPL (Indian Premier league) match when I stopped in London to do Kylie's dubbing in 'Blue'. She invited me for dinner at this wonderful, cosy restaurant. Her mother and manager were also there. Kylie is a truly wonderful and genuine person," said Tony.

He also confirmed that the pop star will be back in India in August.

"We're getting her down to Mumbai again for the music release of 'Blue'. After all she has not only acted, she has also sung in 'Blue'. The details are now being worked (out)," he said.

"Blue" is a multi-starrer that has Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Katrina Kaif, Zayed Khan and Lara Dutta in key roles.

Tony's next project has John Abraham and Sonal Chauhan but he says he wouldn't mind working with Kylie once again.

"Where I go from here depends on how 'Blue' performs when it's released in October," the director said.
