SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

As shown by my not-that-funny or realistic distortion above.

As Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal gets premiered, tongues are wagging and tabloid trash is going insane wondering why Arshad Warsi isn’t along to promote the film with John Abraham and Bipasha Basu. The poor dear though, he’s not boycotting the film because his role wasn’t big enough, he’s not there because he’s suffering from some serious allergies.

“I was in bed for two weeks. I had terrible allergy attack. My face was completely swollen. It started with a viral fever. But after two days I started getting itchy and swollen. I had kept time aside for the ‘Goal’ promo. Thank god I wasn’t the only actor in the project. That would’ve been disastrous,”

Arshad may be getting a bit tired of doing the loyal sidekick roles however, such as Munnabhai MBBS, it’s sequel and Salaam Namaste. While he waits for exclusively Arshad-is-the-hero roles, he’s still having fun on sets, despite what the media has to say.

“But I can’t complain. I got into ‘Goal’ with my eyes closed. And I’m very honestly saying the problems with John and Bipasha (Basu) were highly exaggerated by the media. Bipasha is a very honest girl. I had no problems with either her or John.”

That’s nice to hear and he also warns us that Goal isn’t another Chak De India. Yes, it’s centered around sports, but it’s more for entertainment rather than giving us morals such as ‘Never give up’ and ‘If you’re ugly and try and seduce the coach, he won’t put you in unless he absolutely has to’. Important lessons those are too.

At least it’s only on the big screen. For all Krrish fans, you’re in luck. It looks like a sequel for Krrish is being planned by papa Rakesh Roshan and son Hrithik Roshan. Even though it’s still in the pipeline, I suppose there must be a script around and Hrithik is so excited about it, he wishes he could leave his superhero role to play the villain.

“All I can say at this point is I wish I could play the villain in ‘Krrish 3′. I’m really excited about the villain’s role. So much so that I feel like giving up the superhero’s mantle to play villain. His role is too exciting,”

I don’t know how good of a villain he makes though, as his attempt in Dhoom 2 just gave us a very hot and very likable villain. Not you Ash, we all hated you in that movie. And speaking of Dhoom and whether Aryan will be back for that role, Hrithik says,

“Well, I think ‘Dhoom’ is a fabulous franchise. It has to move on. Whether my character Aryan will be back or not remains to be seen. Anything is possible in the movies.

“The challenge for every ‘Dhoom’ or ‘Krrish’ film is to be bigger and brighter than before. I think we’re climbing the ladder very fast. Soon we needn’t fear comparisons with our Hollywood counterparts.”

And looks-wise comparisons? What will it be girls? Hrithik Roshan or Brad Pitt? Antonio Banderas or John Abraham?

That’s the message from John Abraham and girlfriend Bipasha Basu. They want you have a great Diwali, but just to consider the consequences of your actions. It’s great that you celebrate the Festival of Light. Just remember the kids that made the firecrackers that you may wanna play with.

John says:

“I get really worried because Diwali is all about fire crackers, an intensively child labour driven industry. Whenever you buy and burn them please understand where they come from. Children make them and acquire lung diseases in return,”

“I am not saying all this to spoil your Diwali but to make you realise that this industry is not needed. Also, be cautious while bursting crackers, especially youngsters. Don’t hurt animals. It’s a festival of lights enjoy it responsibly,”

Bipasha says:

“Children must be extra careful while burning crackers otherwise they will hurt themselves. It is a festival of lights so light diyas and candles, exchange gifts, offer sweets to all, wear beautiful clothes, spend time with your friends and family members, and enjoy yourself,”

And that was their public service announcement this holiday. Be safe everyone.
