Hope you guys remember the hot & steamy song 'Aaj Tum Pe Jo Pyar Aaya Hai'  from Madhuri Dixit & Vinod Khanna starrer 'Dayavan', in which the dancing diva & then dashing hunk were getting cozy with a passionate kiss.

The same song is recreated in Vikram Bhatt's Hate Story 2, but it seems censor board is in no mood to give green signal and has taken objection to this new version of song pictured on Surveen Chawla and Jay Bhanushali. The makers are asked to chop the few intimate portions also they are not allowed to air the song on television because of adult content.

For those uninitiated, Hate Story 2 is a the second installment to 2012's Hate Story, which was produced by Vikram Bhatt and directed by Vivek Agnihotri. However,  the sequel has been leaded by Vishal Pandya.

Be it Sonam Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Sonakshi Sinha, Alia Bhatt, Shraddha Kapoor or Parineeti Chopra, the new kids on the block are indeed proving themselves to be a fun-loving and funky yet intelligent lot.

Joining the bandwagon this week is Mandana Karimi, the dazzling new face in Vikram Bhatt’s forthcoming film Bhaag Johnny.

Mandana, who will feature as a lead alongside Kunal Khemu and Zoa Morani in the movie, is the new cover girl for Stuff magazine’s latest issue, where she has revealed some interesting things.

It turns out that one of the most expensive gadgets the girl owns is a water-proof camera. “I’m yet to test it underwater! Maybe, after I buy myself an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini,” she grins. Ooh la la! We’ll sure wait for that one!

Ask her about the simplest gadget she loves and she says, “I’d give that position to my trendy-looking mini hair dryer. I’m a girl who likes to travel light and this one fits neatly into my little traveling bag.”

More on the techno side, Mandana reveals she has a fascination for a big futuristic television set for her living room. “It should be a Full HD web-connected TV, preferably with stereoscopic 3D,” she quips, saying she’s already saving up for something like that. Atta girl!

Iranian beauty Mandana Karimi to debut in Vikram Bhatt's Bhaag Johnny

Join us on Facebook 

Beauty and Bollywood go hand in hand since the days of Madhubala and Meena Kumari. Be it Sharmila Tagore, Zeenat Aman, Parveen Babi, Aishwarya Rai or Katrina Kaif; they’ve all impressed us by their looks before they made a mark with their talent.

Now joining the list of the industry’s most gorgeous new faces, is a stunner called Mandana Karimi.

An import from Iran, the babe will hit the silver screen in maverick director Vikram Bhatt’s forthcoming film Bhaag Johnny as a lead alongside Kunal Khemu and Zoa Morani.

Born to an Indian father and an Iranian mother, Mandana grew up in Tehran, before globetrotting and landing in India and being discovered by Vikram Bhatt. The gal may be a looker, but the actress in her is more concerned about versatility.

“I don’t want to be known just for my looks,” she quips. “I’m ready to experiment with roles from everything cliché to bizarre. My aim is to enact varied characters with all kinds of shades,” remarks Mandana. But ask her about her role in Bhaag Johnny and all she says is, “Wait and watch. Let me not spoil the surprise.”

Coming from a foreign country, one might think that Mandana would have to learn Hindi first. But the gal reveals, “I can speak Hindi pretty well, though I’m working on perfecting my accent now.”


What’s more! Mandana has walked the ramp for many fashion designers including JJ Valaya, Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, Rohit Bal, Anna Singh, Satya Paul and even done an advertisement for Royal Stag with none other than the Badshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan, and another one for Sony Ericsson with Kareena Kapoor.

With her debut film nearing completion, Mandana sure makes an interesting debutante to watch for!

Bipasha and Bhatts decided to let bygones be bygones..!

It seems the bad blood between Hot Bipasha Basu and Bhatt’s is now vanished. She started her career with Ajnabee and got fame from Bhatt’s Raaz and now after almost a decade the lady is returning to Bhatt’s.   Rumours had been doing rounds for quite some time about Bips and Bhatt’s Narazgi because of Murder 2. Now the latest buzz is that she has signed up for the 3rd installment of Raaz. The dusky beauty had done blockbusters like Jism and Raaz with Bhatt Camp. Raaz 3 will be directed by Vikram Bhatt, they are planning to make it in 4D.

On micro blogging, Vikram Bhatt shared his enthusiasm about roping in Emraan, Jacqueline and Bipasha for Raaz 3. He said, "So it is official now...the cast of Raaz 3- Emraan, Jacqueline and ..... Bipasha Basu!"

He added, "Bipasha fans out there! How do you like the name Shanaya for her Character in Raaz 3?"

Vikram Bhatt says, “Our film Raaz was a block buster, Bipasha is a very important part of our team that created the magic on silver screen. I am extremely happy to be working with her again and hope to create the same enchantment with the already thrilling pair of Emraan Hashmi and Jacqueline Fernandes.”

 “Raaz brought recognition to both Vikram and Bipasha, Raaz-3 is a homecoming for them. I accept we had few issues earlier, but that’s ok sometimes we fight with friends and family, alterations need to be made.  Bipasha uttered a desire to work with us again and when we narrated Raaz 3 script she loved it. The character of Shanaya is a very challenging and powerful role for her,” Mukesh Bhatt said.

Bong Babe Bipsy confirmed the news, “I have a long and fruitful association with Vishesh films. I am very affectionate of both Mahesh ji and Mukesh ji, they have given me two of my best films Jism and Raaz. It was only a matter of time before we worked together. Vishesh films is like home so I thought of working with my own people gives me a high.”

She tweeted, "A big shout out to a dear friend thevikrambhatt! Do welcome him to twitterverse! Looking forward to Raaz 3.”

It seems after breaking up with John Abraham B-Town star has decided to revamp her career all over again.  Bips and Bhatt decision to let bygones be bygones and working together with open arms will make horror flick Raaz-3 hotter.

We wish third installment of the hit franchise will put the fire on Silver screen again.
