And while his movie is not short on talent, Sajid made sure he motivated his team to the highest level. The actor, for the first time, reveals to us what he wrote in his handwritten letters to his star cast.

“It said Dear Akshay or Dear Deepika..Welcome to the first of the shooting of your career’s biggest hits. I know this sounds a little pompous, but believe me, just as you had faith in saying yes to this movie and trusting me to guide you out…just like that, have faith in what I am saying,” reveals Sajid.

“Let’s have a great time making this film. But let’s promise each other one thing - that we are not making this film for ourselves. We are making it for a ticket-buying audience, and we will give them exactly what they expect…and a little more,” read Sajid’s letter to his star cast, “For that, you have to have blind faith in me – your director – who is also your friend. And let’s just go out there and have fun. But just remember - we work for an audience… and we will not work without them.”

In the last shot of Sajid Nadiadwala and Sajid Khan’s ‘Housefull’ you will see Ritesh Deshmukh deliver a complicated line in a single shot with much ease and even greater comic timing.

The line that reads ‘Teri Biwi Teri Biwi Meri Behen…Teri Hone Walle Biwi Meri Behen…Har Aurat Teri Biwi Meri Behen…How can your luck be bad. Ritesh had practiced so hard that when the time came to deliver it he did it flawlessly.

We come to hear that the first time Ritesh Deshmukh read the dialogue he was thoroughly confused so in order to memorize it he recorded it on his dictaphone and kept listening to it over and over again.

Reveals a source “When Ritesh finally came to deliver his line he did the Biwi line in a single take. It was unblemished.”

If you are looking to soak your eyes into a cache of eye candy on the silver screen, a forthcoming film is set to dish it out to you. Five female actors — Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Preity Zinta, Vidya Balan and Anushka Sharma are slated to do cameos in Milap Zaveri’s Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai.

Apart from these female actors, Akshay Kumar, Karan Johar and Farah Khan are also playing themselves in the film. The movie is produced by Nikhil Advani (who directed Kal Ho Na Ho, Salaam-e-Ishq and Chandni Chowk to China).

A source says, “Nikhil has approached all the five female actors to play cameos in the movie. All these people play themselves in the film. The movie also has Riteish Deshmukh and Jacqueline Fernandes in key roles.”

Nikhil says, “Milap’s film had a requirement of people making an appearance and talking about an upcoming star. So, we have already shot with a few actors and are coordinating dates with others.”

The affable Riteish Deshmukh will no more do sex comedies. The guy whose name got willy-nilly linked with raunchy rom-coms like Masti and Kya Kool Hain Hum has sworn to steer clear of sex on screen.

Buzz up!
Declares Riteish, "I won't do any more sex comedies. It started with Masti. Now five years down the line, Masti writer Milap Zaveri, who's a dear friend, has turned director with Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai and there's absolutely no sex or double-meaning dialogues in it."


Riteish Deskhmukh and writer-director Milap Zaveri have both set a common date. April 9 has been underlined in the calendar. It's the day Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai is being released. Five years ago on same date - April 9 - Masti had been released. Zaveri wanted his film as director to be released on that date.

Says Riteish, "Both Milap and I go back a long way. We've come a long way. We've left our raunchy days behind. Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai is my first romantic film since my debut film Tujhe Meri Kasam in 2003. Milap is the most romantic person I know. So it's only fair that he makes a romantic film with me."

6 years ago, on April 9, 2004, Riteish Deshmukh delivered the first hit of his career- Masti. While the film was directed by Indra Kumar, Milap Zaveri was the man behind the story, screenplay and funny dialogues of the film. Now exactly six years later, Milap Zaveri makes his directorial debut with the romantic comedy Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai starring Riteish Deshmukh and Jacqueline Fernandez in lead roles and as luck would have, it the film releases on the same date April 9.

Watch out for the promo of Koochie Koochie Hota Hai when you watch My Name Is Khan. The animation version of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai seems like one joy ride and promises to infuse life in the animation industry, if the first promo of the film is an indicator. Having the star voices of SRK, Kajol, Rani Mukherji, Ritesh Deshmukh, Sajid Khan, Simi Grewal, Anupam Kher and Sanjay Dutt, Koochie Koochie Hota Hai should be a fun watch when it hits screens later this year.

Koochie Koochie Hota Hai is directed by Tarun Mansukhani, who made his directorial debut with Dostana.
