Bipasha Basu’s next ‘Bhai Must be Crazy’

Bipiasha will star as an intelligence officer in the upcoming comedy flick ‘Bhai Must Be Crazy’.

The film is being directed by the debutant Vinay Sharma, who earlier scripted Sanjay Dutt- Vivek Oberoi starrer Zila Ghaziabad.
Mika Singh has been roped in for composing the music.
Speaking about the film, Vinay Sharma said that Bhai Must Be Crazy is about Bipasha's character chasing Pankaj Kapur, who plays an international don in the film. He added that Bipasha Basu, who will be making an entry with paragliding, has some solid action in the climax. He reasoned that he signed Bipasha Basu because he wanted a tough actress for the role and she fitted the role perfectly. Besides Pankaj Kapur and Bipasha Basu, Bhai Must Be Crazy also stars Sunil Grover (of 'Gutthi' fane) who will be seen playing the role of a tribal in the film.
While Vinay Sharma will be shooting a small portion with Sunil Grover from January 5 in Nepal, his team will be heading to Bangkok in February for a 45-day schedule, according to a news agency.

Michael Bay to direct ‘Transformers 5’

Producer-director Michael Bay has confirmed that he’ll return to direct “Transformers 5” for the Paramount studio.
The veteran director’s announcement came mere days before the studio releases his Benghazi movie.
Of course, Bay has threatened to wash his hands of the blockbuster franchise before, and he repeated a familiar sentiment on his latest press tour, telling Rolling Stone that the next “Transformers” movie will be his last one.

“I still have a great time. It’s fun to do a movie that 100 million people will see. But this is the last one. I have to pass the reins to someone else,” adding that “it’s time to move on. One more.”

Bay will direct ‘Transformers 5’ from a script by “Black Hawk Down” scribe Ken Nolan and “Iron Man” writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway.
The story came out of a writer’s room that Akiva Goldsman oversaw on behalf of Bay, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura and executive producer Steven Spielberg. Mark Wahlberg is slated to return for the fifth film in the series, which is expected to open up the “Transformers” universe, according to a news agency.

Kate Winslet spoken about being bullied as a child

Kate Winslet has long spoken about being bullied as a child. She most recently opened up about her painful experience to CBS Sunday Morning.

 "I was teased for how I looked," the actress said in an interview set to air this weekend. "In part, yeah, because I was quite stocky as a child. And I was very much teased for that."

But now, the Steve Jobs star has come to realise that dealing with mean kids in school has ultimately helped her become the Oscar-winning (not to mention, downright gorgeous) woman she is today.
After revealing to Parade in 2006 that her classmates used to call her "Blubber" and telling Marie Claire UK in 2009 that she was "bullied for being chubby," Winslet says she finally built up the courage to confront one of her former tormentors who was "particularly horrible" as an adult.
"She was working on a beauty counter in a department store," the 40-year-old recounted during an appearance on Running Wild with Bear Grylls earlier this year. "I went up to her and said, 'I want to thank you for being such a bitch because it made me a lot stronger.'"

Well, after getting that off her chest, Winslet has never felt the pressure to look perfect again—and wants you to know that you shouldn't feel forced to either.

"You know, we walk down red carpets. You know, it's part of the job," she further explained to CBS Sunday Morning. "But I think I feel very strongly that it's important to also say to young girls that we don't look like that all the time."

Though his Dilwale co-star Kajol disagreed with him saying AbRam is younger than Aaradhya, the Chennai Express actor said “Love has no age.” When asked what he has to say about it, Bachchan told reporters today, “Un kay mooh may ghee shakkar aur doodh malai... (May his words come true).” Bachchan was speaking at the press conference of his upcoming thriller-drama Wazir. The 73-old actor said that his wife Jaya Bachchan has watched the movie twice. “She is my wife, so of course we will talk (about the film)... Not once, she has watched the film twice,”according to The Hindustan Times.
