One day, I was asked if I would be interested in doing Yamla Pagla Deewana 2. It's a privilege working with the Deols and I hadn't done a comedy in a while. I liked the story and things fell in place."

Katy Perry goes desi for IPL 5 opening ceremony performance
International pop icon Katy Perry went desi chic with a blingy choli, maang tika and bindis for her maiden performance in India at the star-studded opening ceremony of the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) here Tuesday night.
Perry, 27, was the star attraction at the glittery event, held at the YMCA Grounds to kickstart the cricket extravaganza.
She sang “Teenage dream” to the packed audience, already smitten with performances by Amitabh Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor, Salman Khan, Prabhudeva and Colonial Cousins.
She refrained from exposing too much for the Indian audience, but managed to add zing to her outfit by wearing almost transparent, pink-coloured lowers with sequined work. Her make-up was truly desi with bindis set above both her eyebrows, like that of an Indian bride.
Her international back singers too carried the Indian flavour by flaunting saris.

Soha-Kunal to tie the knot, later this year!
Now that Saif Ali Khan and his ladylove Kareena Kapoor have postponed their wedding to 2013 (according to rumors), it is heard that Saif’s younger sis Soha Ali Khan is planning for a 2012 wedding.
If buzz is to be believed, Soha might enter matrimonial bliss with her longtime beau Kunal Khemu, in November. Both Kunal and Soha’s families have approved the match and are keen on taking things forward.
Post Tiger Pataudi’s death (Saif’s father Mansoor Ali Khan), it’s Saif who takes after him and will take up the responsibilities of his sisters wedding.
If the news is true, we will get to witness two back-to-back weddings, very soon.
Check out Farhan Akhtar as Milkha Singh
Farhan Akhtar has done it. Managed to metamorphose into Milkha Singh for the film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, that is. And the resemblance is uncanny.
But Akhtar’s preparation for the role was not limited to just looking the part. He studied pictures and videos of the world famous athlete to get the body language right. He even met Singh’s trainer Havaldar Gurdev Singh to take notes on how he trained the Flying Sikh.
Directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is Farhan’s first biopic. An insider reveals, “He was quite nervous because Milkha is a legendary sportsman. He had to imbibe everything, from his look to his body language. Over the past year-and-a-half, Farhan has been training rigorously for the role.”
Since Akhtar has a high metabolism rate and tends to lose weight quickly, he had to workout every single day to maintain the physique he has built for the film. In fact, when the crew was shooting in the town of Firozpur in Punjab, a gym was kept open 24×7 so he could use it whenever the time permitted.
Interestingly, the gym owner’s mother — who is a huge fan of the athlete — was astounded by Akhtar’s resemblance to Milkha. Says Mehra, “Farhan has transformed himself. When you see him, you can only see Milkha Singh.”
