Now feel the difference of love.
The film has Priyanka Chopra playing an autistic girl.
"Sperm donation is a great thing. Following all you are making some person," the 30-years-old told news people Tuesday when he was inquired he feels about sperm donation.
Since the time that the motion picture Vicky Contributor has turned out, sperm donation has come to be one of the most incredibly discussed issues. Actually, around the same time as an enactment at the Universal Indian Picture Conservatory awards in Singapore, Shahid Kapoor pulled Ranbir's leg maxim he might as well give sperm.
"When Shahid would have liked me to give sperm, I was backstage and I would be unable to do it. So now it is on my necessity incline to give sperm to him," stated Ranbir Kapoor divertingly.
He was talking on the sidelines of the screening of Anurag Kashyap's directorial wander Packs of Wasseypur.
Those who would be unable to get a charge out of the Shahid Kapoor-Ranbir Kapoor exist appearance at IIFA, they can view it on the modest screen. It can be broadcast on Star Plus July 7.
Okay, we know that Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone didn’t require much goading to let bygones of their intense break-up be bygones; as a matter of fact, they rekindled their friendship while filming director Ayan Mukherjee's picture Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani the same time as a calendar in Manali just. Be that as it may a revived amity doesn’t mean revived amour! For when Ranbir Kapoor arrived in Mumbai when the picture's outstation shoot, he's learnt to have rung Katrina Kaif.
Reports express that the day Ranbir came back from his Manali shoot, he met with Katrina at an area in Pali Hill. The two spent value time as a single unit.
Then, however Deepika Padukone appreciated shooting with Ranbir in Manali, she's under no figment that their friendship is determined to take the turn of a romance.
So while Ranbir Kapoor has the chance pally with Deepika, he still keeps on to desire following Katrina Kaif, it appears.
The interlacing passions in the middle of the several in fact makes for an ajab prem kahaani!
There has at present been a flatboat of articles concerning a preparing sentiment in the middle of Ranbir and Nargis, but one never foreseed that the twosome could float separated so soon. At a gathering flung by the VIP administration outfit KWAN at Grand Hyatt final week, both Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri appeared prudent in keeping far from one another. In the first place, they approached the gathering in parts.
Not that they did not trade any merriments, but once the welcome, hey, and cursory welcome was over, the a few went their particular way and did not blend thereafter.
The a few made for a picture that would be in complete differentiate to what we saw at Rockstar show in run-up to the motion picture's discharge, where Ranbir and Nargis put up a show of their torrid enthusiasm-play on stage.Yet now, Nargis Fakhri appears to be developing from the shadow of Rockstar and Ranbir Kapoor and attempting to make mates, shape her particular PR, and develop as a woman in her particular right. At the do, she was perceived holding with Deepika Padukone and Genelia D’Souza.
But also what's respectful on Ranbir's part is giving Nargis the space she requires. When its all said and done, he's even now expressed that he and Nargis never dated and she was actually humiliated of being joined with him.
Ranbir and this youngster whose personality is still not known were viewed at Aer Bar in Four Seasons, Worli, on Friday night. Reports state Ranbir was attempting to cover his personality under a cap. He and the youngster strolled in the bar around 11 pm, took a table that supported most extreme security, then after that spent the time gulping, kidding and chattering.
Now, its unmistakably tricky to know for any onlooker from a remote place what the subject of their dialogue was, but it was visibly obvious that the a few were all in all cozy and very delighted in one another team.
They reportedly alternate the bar as a single unit a small before 1 am.
On the other hand, an associate of Ranbir's told a tabloid that the actor was at the bar with a bunch of companions and not simply one youngster apart from everyone else.
Her case reminds us of Katrina Kaif. Prior the actress too was unable to render her exchanges in Hindi, and utilized to have a naming craftsman to accommodate her. In Nargis' case, she has got several coaches. When doing Rockstar, Nargis was displaying in the USA, and later was moreover featured in the Kingfisher schedule. Instinctively, for this part-Pakistani part-Czech gal who was born in the USA, speaking Hindi is no cakewalk.
As a cause tells a tabloid, “Nargis' screen presence and her acting capabilities are topnotch. Every person from the unit is raving regarding her. In any case the matter of her lines still ought to be sorted out.”
In light of the fact that the venture is all in all near Ranbir's heart, he too is putting added enterprise plus Imtiaz Ali to flawless her word usage. According to causes, the whole unit of Rockstar is assisting out Nargis and they no more banter with her in English but in Hindi.
Following hearing and perusing concerning her so far, we can’t hold up for the desi Nargis.
However, the Bollywood chocolaty boy Ranbir Kapoor wants to work with Anushka Sharma in his friend Ayan Mukherjee’s next flick.
Ayan initially had Deepika Padukone in mind for co-star of lead Ranbir but now, Ranbir is reported to be pressing Ayan to rope in Anushka Sharma instead.
So the Director Ayan is currently in the process of penning the script. He will take a final call on the Sharma once the script is ready.
Those who think that Nargis Fakhri is just another new face from the modeling world should see these pictures. The gal is not only drop-dead gorgeous but has a charisma which should come through on the big screen. Ranbir and Nargis started shooting for Rockstar last year and were recently in Kashmir for another leg of shoot.
Are they an item? Or is this is just friendship. Whatever the case, Ranbir and newcomer Nargis’s chemistry speaks volumes and will keep the buzz about their ‘romance’ alive.
While we still wait to know what’s brewing between the two, catch some production stills from the sets of Rockstar.
In the film industry where every contemporary is looked upon as rival, four current heartthrobs and youth icons seem to be bonding big time. Last night Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor and Anushka Sharma had a quite dinner at Olive.
A guest present at the restaurant tipped our photographer who reached at the venue to possibly capture them on the lens. "After a couple of hours the stars finally left from the back gate", confirms the source. "However when the photographer went to click them, two guys from the restaurant grabbed both his hands and did not allow him to click or even move. He screamed for help but by then all the four stars had left in one single car". Also the source confirms, "Anushka was seated right in the centre in the car".
Perhaps after what happened to Ranbir Kapoor when the paparazzi clicked him and Nargis Fakhri a few days ago, the actor seems to be making extra efforts to stay off the camera. Anushka Sharma and Ranveer Singh have become a constant fodder for media stories for their on-off relationship status. And while Priyanka Chopra was nowhere around, Shahid Kapoor seems to be cautious as well. Though we missed the picture, they couldn't skip attention.
Shahid, Ranbir, Ranveer and Anushka together make a picture perfect image. Rather a great casting coup! Think of it filmmakers.
We hear Ranbir has asked producer Sajid Nadiadwala to sign Nargis opposite him in the film Heer Ranjha, which, as the title suggests will be an epic love story starring Ranbir as Ranjha. Even as the hunt is on the girl who will play Heer, Ranbir has already set his mind on the lissom stunner from the US.
Ranbir and Nargis bonded well during the filming of Ashtavinayak’s Rockstar, but she may not be able to team up with Ranbir for Heer Ranjha as she is bound by a three-film contract with the production house. Which means, that Nargis is not legally permitted to sign Nadiadwala’s film.
The buzz also has it that Nadiadwala is trying to negotiate with Ashtavinayak to free Nargis for his production, but whether the production house will make a legal exception for Nargis still remains to be seen.
Ranbir Kapoor-Katrina Kaif's love story is the end?: Kehte hain ishq aur mushq chhipaye nahin chhupta! Though the couple never went public with their relationship, Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor’s love story continues to be the fodder for gossip mills; and now there is another chapter to it - Nargis Fakhri - Ranbir’s beautiful co-actress in Rockstar. Rumour has it that she’s responsible for break up between Ranbir and Katrina.
Nargis and Ranbir became friendly when they started shooting for the romantic musical film Rockstar. Apparently, the growing fondness between Nargis and Ranbir has not gone down well with Kat. As per reports, because of Nargis, Kat started feeling insecure, and frequently the couple had fights over these issues. Perhaps, Kat’s insecurity issues were too much for Ranbir to handle. As a result, their relationship is on the rocks, probably even over.
Apparently, it didn’t take Kat time to realize that Ranbir likes to spend time with Fakhri. Recently, Nargis and Ranbir were also spotted outside a multiplex where they were hanging out with friends and watched Black Swan.
Sources claim that Ranbir is smitten with the Rockstar beauty, who is a former Kingfisher calendar girl and a ramp model. Rest depends on time; it’s obvious that this Kapoor lad has had his way with the pretty young damsels.

Just a few days back we reported about Ranbir Kapoor being signed up to play a medieval warrior in the remake of the Telugu superhit Magadheera. Now, we hear that Katrina Kaif is billed to bag the role of the princess the warrior is sworn to protect.
In the original film, Ram Charan Teja and Kajal Aggarwal wowed the fans with their sparkling chemistry. In the Hindi remake, to be produced by Madhu Mantena (producer of Ghajini), Ranbir and Katrina will recreate the eternal romance.
The film tells the story of a warrior who protects the princess of his kingdom, only to be killed and born again 400 years later to take his revenge. It’s essentially a love story between the warrior and the princess.
Given the subject, the director S S Rajamouli (director of Magadheera) and producer Mantena feel they need a couple who can bring out the passion on screen in the Hindi remake. Obviously, Ranbir and Katrina top their wishlist.
After all they do look good together, not just off the screen.
No less than a treat for Ranbir’s fans it’s gonna be as the actor also likes to experiment. The Magadheera remake is going to be a big budget film. We hear that the director of the original S S Rajamouli has been retained for the film which is going to be made on a whopping Rs 90 crore.
When Ranbir heard the script he was thrilled because he always wanted to do a costume drama. Though the film is on the theme of reincarnation, it will also have a contemporary setting. The character demands a lean yet handsome boy with a calm persona and go-getter attitude. So, the debonair Ranbir is perfect for it.
Ghajini producer Madhu Mantena is going to produce the film, but an official confirmation from the makers is awaited.
Magadheera is about a warrior who protects the princess of his kingdom, only to be killed and born again 400 years later to take his revenge. It’s essentially a love story between the warrior played by Ram Charan Teja and the princess essayed by Kajal Aggarwal. The movie also won National Award for best special effects and best film in Telugu language.
And see who’s helping her out in preparing for the role? It’s Shahrukh Khan, her favourite co-star of Don and Don 2.
Priyanka plays a mentally challenged girl in Anurag Basu's thriller Barfee and she has to undergo training to prepare for the role. As Shahrukh effortlessly played a man with Asperger's Syndrome in My Name Is Khan, who else better than him to help her out!
Naturally, Priyanka is excited and tells a tabloid, “If the character comes out right I'll have a lot to thank him for. I consider SRK one of the finest actors in world. To be able to spend so much time with him both on and off camera is a blessing.”
Priyanka will train for almost a month for the role and has already begun visiting schools and institutions for the mentally challenged.
Now, the reports of her dating Ranbir is making Kat upset; the actress tells a daily that the reports of her alleged relationship with her co-star of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani are more disturbing because no one really has any photographic evidence of them together.
Kat is also annoyed with the recent reports of her blowing kisses to Ranbir at an award function where the latter was the playing the host on stage. She claims it was Imran Khan, who was also the host that night, not Ranbir on whom she showered her air kisses. Imran is also her co-star and she finds the boy funny.
Sorry Kat, if we thought it’s the other way round.
Meanwhile, speaking of evidence, here’s our photographic evidence of Kat-Ranbir love story. Don’t miss it!
