BollyWeekly (Week of October 21st)

Here's the excitement for this week:



Happy 83rd Birthday to Bollywood legend, Shammi Kapoor! This article has a nice write up about his career in film, as well as quite a few videos. Check it out.


"The Big Bang Theory"'s Kunal Nayyar is interested in doing a Bollywood film in the future. Not sure if this completely counts as "Hollywood Gone Bollywood," since Nayyar is Indian, but we'll take it. As far as we're concerned, any Western exposure to Bollywood is a good thing :)


In a reverse of our last article, Indian actress Sridevi (English Vinglish, Khuda Gawah) seems to be finding a Hollywood acting career more appealing than being a Bollywood star. Guess we'll have to wait and see. We love Sridevi and wish her all the success in the world, whether in Los Angeles or Mumbai.


Where have all the good villains gone? This article discusses the lack of good bad guys in modern Bollywood.  We give the author props for mentioning Aamir Khan's upcoming role in Dhoom 3. We think he will be great. We are big Aamir fans, although not as big of fans of the guy as his daughter. Awwww.


Speaking of the Dhoom franchise, a video game version set in the Dhoom universe will be released in tandem with the premiere of the Dhoom 3 movie. Judging by the wording of the article, it seems like this game will be for mobile phones. Wonder if we can get it in America?


Oh no! Actor Akshaye Khanna has become the victim of a Ponzi Scheme after being duped into sinking a large amount of money in a fraudulent investment project. We hope that this gets resolved quickly, and that those responsible get their just desserts.


Until next week!
