‘Qurbaan’ takes precautions!

Not wanting to take any chances against Swine Flu, the ‘Qurbaan’ team cancelled their Pune schedule.
According to fresh reports, Pune has become a victim of the dreaded disease. And so the director decided not to shoot there as he did not want to put either the cast or crew at risk, sources said. It is also said that the movie’s leading lady Kareena Kapoor was not comfortable with the location and asked the director, Rensil D’Silva to reconsider the shooting plan.
The team had planned their last schedule in Pune on Friday. Only few scenes were required to be shot. Now as the plan is cancelled, the next schedule and shooting location is yet to be decided.

Bollywood Celebs rejoice legalising homosexuality

Bollywood Gossip : Bollywood has always had a somewhat tense relationship with homosexuality, with very few mainstream films dealing with the subject, and homosexuals being shown in poor and comic light. But as far as members of the film industry are concerned, the legalising of homosexuality has got a thumbs-up from most of them.

Bollywood actors said that the decision of the Delhi High Court to legalise same-sex relationship will not just give legal cover to the homosexual community, but also help them lead a relatively trouble-free life.
Actor John Abraham, who is considered one of India’s hottest gay-icons, said, "I think it’s a step in the positive direction and I am personally quite happy that the High Court has finally given equal rights to everyone – whether he is a homosexual or a heterosexual."

The actor who came under some criticism from the gay community for playing a heterosexual man posing as a gay in Dostana added, "I think in a democratic country like India, where right to equality is a constitutional right, it was very important to give homosexuals their due. The government was also very empathetic to the fact that they should be treated equally."
Celina Jaitely who has been voicing her concern for the gay cause for quite some time terms the judgment as a historic one, even though, according to her, the battle has just begun.
"I think this is just the beginning. It’s historic, great and just remarkable. I am very happy with it. I think finally the gay community has achieved their freedom with this landmark judgment."
She added, "I know how homosexuals were exploited by the administration of this country. They were treated as outlaws. Now the first victory is achieved but this struggle has to go on. The important thing now is social acceptance. This community should now walk with their head held high and be proud of who they are."
Well-know fashion designer Wendill Rodricks said that it’s a landmark judgment but people should look at it more carefully and practically rather than with religious sentiments. He said, "I think we have been decriminalised and this is important for a country like India which is making progress in every sphere of life."

Bachchan, who was in London to shoot for a film, returned home, said he developed the ailment while was about to leave the city.
"I developed a pain in the stomach much like the one I got last birthday. And it happened just when I was getting set to leave from London. So I travelled home in order that I may be in a climate that understands my condition, rather than stay back in alien country and subject myself to a medical from those that are unaware of my history," Big B wrote on his blog.
"I drove straight to my doctor on arrival late last night, and after some external physical examinations, I was subjected to CT scans this morning. The results do not show anything, but the trouble exists, albeit in a much smaller scale than the last time," Amitabh Bachchan added.
The actor was scheduled to travel out of the city today but has postponed his plan until he recovers. He has been advised some more tests today.
"I would not want to get moving again and land up in unknown territory and end up in hospital. Its disturbing to be in such state. Frustrating that despite extreme care, a repetition of this problem keeps occurring," he wrote.
However, Amitabh Bachchan assured his fans that there was no need for alarm, adding that he did not want to take chances
