Walking the ramp is most difficult: Amitabh

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan doesn’t mind experimenting with any kind of roles, but he finds walking the ramp as the toughest thing to do and wonders how models manage to walk with “those high heels”.
The actor and his wife, Jaya, went to attend fashion designer Nachiket Barve’s show on the third day of the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) in Mumbai Sunday.
“It’s the first time for me to be at one of these events and indeed how delightful it was. Felt I was live on FTV, sitting in the gallery among many enthusiasts as the slender and pretty models displaying the wares of the designer walked past on the ramp.
“I had done the same - walked the ramp - for our dear friends Abu (Jani) and Sandeep (Khosla) on two occasions and had felt it to be the most difficult of tasks,” Amitabh posted on his blog www.bigb.bigadda.com.
The 67-year-old, who recently won the National Film Award for best actor for his role in “Paa”, says he wonders how models remain expressionless on the ramp.

“It is tough to keep a straight expressionless face when you know thousands of eyes are meticulously watching every move of yours. How on earth these graceful and dainty looking models manage all this in those high high-heeled shoes is another miracle. But they did, and did it well,” he wrote.

Shahrukh Khan and Katrina Kaif Ranking in the top

King Khan has stepped into the shoes of Akshay Kumar of becoming a topper in paying to the IT department. Yes, the baadshah of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan have replaced Akki in terms of paying the highest tax. The last time he paid tax was Rs 3.5 crore, but this year he topped the chart by paying a handsome amount of Rs 5 crore. The 2nd position this year goes to the former topper Akshay Kumar who managed to pay Rs 4.5 crore and followed by the Mr. Perfectionist Amir Khan who increased the IT department’s collection by another Rs 4 crore.

Saif Ali Khan and Ranbir Kapoor are sitting on the same chair sharing the 4th position paying Rs 2.5 crore each. The promising son of Rishi Kapoor has entered the top 5 where it can be seen that the other contenders are well aged and this teenage heartthrob managed a place. It looks like he is doing good work with integrity and passion. The other payers listed are Salman Khan with Rs 2 crore which is short by Rs 50 lakh against his Rs 2.5 crore last year; Hrithik Roshan did not touch the crore marks but settled at half of a crore. The female celebrities include Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor with Rs 1.3 crore and Rs 1 crore respectively.

Kareena is in place of Katrina

Salman Khan’s brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri’s next project, a remake of the Malayalam hit ‘Bodyguard’ will have the stunning beauty Kareena Kapoor play the lead lady opposite Sallu Bhai.
Rumors had it that Katrina Kaif would be essaying the lead role, but
Atul clarifies, “See, we have already decided to release our film during the Eid week next year. Since Katrina has committed her dates to other projects, we decided to cast an actor whose dates would match with Salman’s and would facilitate the release of the film during the festive week next year.”
However, Salman-Kareena pair wasn’t much appreciated by the audience.
“It all depends on the film and how the audience takes to it. Why blame a pair for its failure? Besides, they may be third time lucky with my film,” Atul smiles.

Directed by Siddique, the film has music by Pritam.

What happen to Ranbir Kapoor?

On one hand, Ranbir Kapoor is busy promoting his upcoming film Anjaana Anjaani which is set for release on September 24 (next Friday). On the other, he is hoping for the film’s release to get postponed.
Why? Because September 24 is also the day when the Allahabad High Court will give its verdict on the Babri Masjid land dispute case. It’s a verdict of great importance and sensitivity and has already sent the UP state machinery gearing up for tightened security.
On a day when the people of India await the verdict on the long pending dispute and sentiments of certain community might flare up, Ranbir deems it unfit to release the film. He wants the film to release a day later.
“I don’t wish to celebrate on a day when such a big decision is going to be announced,” Ranbir is quoted to have said in a media report.

However, Ranbir admits that there are too many people involved in the production and distribution of the film and therefore the release may not be postponed.
