Riteish, who hails from a family of politicians with dad, Vilasrao Deshmukh being the former chief minister of the state, had caused a shockwave with his decision to act a few years ago. Now that he is turning producer, Ritz (as he is called by friends) wants to give back to the industry and his motherland that helped him realise his dream. "It's a tribute to my motherland, that I owe everything to. I feel Maharashtra has given me and my family everything. I made my name, my identity, which is separate from my family's identity, here. So yes, I'm dedicating my first film to the state."
The actor is on the verge of locking a script, "I have been reading something exciting and as soon as my shooting commitments are over, I will start the pre-production of the film. If all goes well, my first film will have its release next year. I'm really excited," he adds.

Mithun Chakraborty is the latest actor to join the team of Housefull 2.

The film already has several stars including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, John Abraham, Rahul Khanna, Asin, Jacqueline Fernandez, Chunky Pandey, Randhir Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor.

While Asin will be cast opposite Akshay, John will be paired with Jacqueline. Says director Sajid Khan, “The sequel will be completely different from the first one. It’s a new story, and will be ten times bigger and better than Housefull.”

Sajid is scouting for two more female actors for the film. To be shot abroad in UK, Phuket, Argentina and Hong Kong, the film will go on the floors towards the end of May and be completed in October.

The team of "F.A.L.T.U." had no faltu time when they came to town on a recent rainy afternoon, as all of them were busy obliging the cameras and giving non-stop interviews.

It made for an interesting sight to watch all of them speak, separately, at the press conference. One could hear Riteish Deshmukh, standing in the middle of 15 cameras and mikes, saying, "No, I'm not dating ... I don't know where all these rumours come...," and Jackky Bhagnani, on the other corner, answering questions with a smile, "So what if Bryan Adam's concert couldn't happen today, we will be back soon for it." While papa Vashu Bhagnani was keeping to a corner, he was also put before a mike for a sawaal-jawaab session, beginning with 'Film ka title aisa kyun hai?' Remo D'Souza, who seemed to be kinda shy, was discussing how he got the idea of turning a director from a choreographer.

Cricket fever’s in the air and Bollywood’s certainly not immune. Several B-Town stars are known for their love for the game and actor Riteish Deshmukh’s one of them. So much so, that the star doesn’t even mind taking to the pitch even if it’s only in the break in between the film shots.

So it was hardly surprising when he, along with the co-stars of his forthcoming film Faltu, took to playing cricket during their break time while shooting in Mauritius.

While actor Jackky Bhagnani showed his bowling skills, actors Arshad Warsi and Riteish took turns batting, as did actor Angad Bedi.

Actor Pooja Gupta too cheered them on. And soon they not only had the entire unit but also students of the university where they were shooting in, crowding around to get a dekko at the actors take their shots. In fact, the place soon resembled a mini stadium as the boys displayed a natural flair for the game.

Wishing Ritesh Deshmukh a very Happy Birthday!

Guys its Ritesh's birthday! Put all your wishes in the comment column below this post. Lets show him his fan following! Will try to post the link on his twitter account!

Quite a ‘bankable’ actor as far as multi-starrers (mainly comedies) are concerned, Riteish Deshmukh seems to have made quite a place for himself in Bollywood!

Our in house expert and celebrated astro numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi predicts what’s in store for the ‘funny man’ who celebrates his birthday tomorrow:

“Riteish was born on 17th December 1978 which makes him a Number 8 (Saturn) person in numerology. He is also ruled by Number 3 (Jupiter – Sagittarius) and his compound numbers adds up to Number 9 (1 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 9 + 7 + 8 = 30 = 3 + 6 = 9),” explains Bhavikk.

“Being ruled by Number 8 primarily, Riteish is a fighter in life and would never give up anything so easily. He has come a long way from a pale and dull looking boy in his first film to one of the few dependable actors of today with a natural flair for comedy. Although he is born in a politically strong family, he is ruled by the most powerful planet Jupiter and so his personal finances would never be an issue for him all his life. Thanks to the Mars effect, he is also sporty, energetic and has a zest for life,” adds Bhavikk.

You can take the guy out of Maharashtra but you can’t take Maharashtra out of the guy. So Riteish Deshmukh was shooting in Mauritius for Faltu when two girls trooped towards him for an autograph. He told them he’d sign their books after a while as he was about to give his shot. Fair enough, the girls thought and moved away. Then a third girl walked upto him and asked him for an autograph in Marathi. And guess what? He promptly signed her book. Seeing that the other two girls flocked to him once again and asked for an autograph in Marathi. And he happily obliged.
