Stage set for Kajol's comeback

Kajol is gearing up to return to the silver screen in husband Ajay Devgn's next. A few days ago, the actress told the media that she had green-lighted a film to be produced by Ajay. Now, Mirror has learnt that the actor/producer has joined hands with Sunil and Kishore Lulla's Eros International to co-produce the film.

Kajol had previously said that the home venture may take off by year-end. A source close to her confirms, "With Eros on board, the film is taking off by November end and is targetting a 2015 release."

Kajol looks beyond women-centric roles for Bollywood comeback

Bollywood actress Kajol is excited to return to the silver screen in husband Ajay Devgn's next but doing only women-oriented roles is not her priority.

Kajol, 39, has green-lighted a film to be produced by Ajay Devgn's home production. Contrary to the trend of women being the protagonist in contemporary films, Kajol feels good script essentially makes a good movie.

"The script has to be good. I don't look whether (the film) is women-oriented or not because I believe everyone contributes for the film and not just one person. It is about everybody in the film. The script has to be fabulous," Kajol told in an exclusive interview here.

Kajol said the home venture may take-off by year-end.

She said to get married and have kids was her conscious decision.

"There was dream to be a mother. I think it was very well spent time with my kids. My kids are wonderful and I have a big hand in it," she said.

Kajol took a sabbatical when she was at the peak of her career.

"It was the right time for me and I don't regret it (the decision) at all. For me, all my decisions have been taken at the right time only. There is no ifs and buts for me," she said.

The film that Ajay would be producing is in news for quite some time but Kajol is in no mood to disclose details.

"I hope it will be both serious and entertaining. We have an idea on hand but it is too early to talk about it. When we start shooting the film then we can say a bit about it," the actress said.

When asked how heroines discontinue their Bollywood career after certain age but the male actors continue to work even after the age of 40, Kajol said things will change.

"I feel we have less ideas. And our audience wants to watch only certain kind of cinema, however this is changing now. This is the time for new age cinema. The audience is changing and our longevity will increase," she said.

Is Salman Khan not backing Armaan Kohli’s Bollywood comeback?

The former Bigg Boss contestant’s Bollywood comeback seems to have hit a rough patch

Rumour had it that Armaan Kohli was to star as Salman Khan’s brother in Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. However, it looks like those were just rumours as now we hear that Mr Kohli was never offered this project. Apparently, Bollywood’s own naukri.com (Salman Khan) had suggested to Barjatya that Armaan be included in the project. But it seems that the filmmaker didn’t pay any heed to Sallu’s request at all.

“Salman did suggest that Armaan be included in the film, but there was nothing beyond that. Some overzealous people went ahead and announced that Armaan was essaying the role of Sallu’s brother in the film,” a source was quoted by a tabloid.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo will go on floors in May and the cast includes Salman along with Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Anupam Kher, Swara Bhaskar, Deepak Dobriyal and Samira Rao. Yes, the official star cast doesn’t include Mr Kohli’s name in it. “Sooraj Barjatya did not approach him for any role. Armaan has not even spoken to anyone at the production house. He only knew that Salman had recommended his name. He was taken aback when the news came out,” a source close to Armaan said.

As you will know, Armaan doesn’t have a Bollywood career to boast about. Having all flop films in his resume, the man surely needed a good comeback to look at a fresh lease of life in B-Town. And there is no denying that a movie with Sallu would have done wonders for him. But looks like the lady luck (Tanishaa Mukherji) is not proving to be so lucky for Mr Kohli.
