He is seen bedding multiple partners, and even wears noodle strap tops and satin bows in bed,” adds the source. “We knew right from the beginning that we are making an adult film. The audience is mature, and it is not about specific scenes in the film,” says Vikas Bahl of UTV, the movie’s producers.

Apsara Awards: Salman Khan 'best actor' & Dabangg best film!: Bollywood star Salman Khan Tuesday triumphed at the 6th edition of the Chevrolet Apsara Film & Television Producers Guild Awards by bagging the best actor prize for hit comedy Dabangg, which was declared the best film. Dabangg, released last year, was Arbaaz Khan's first film of the year and became the biggest box office grosser at the box office. Directed by first time director Abhinav Kashyap, the film also introduced Sonakshi Sinha, daughter of actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha. It gave 2009's best item number Munni Badnam too.
Karan Johar got the best director award for My Name Is Khan. Set in a tumultuous post 9/11 America, the film starred Shah Rukh Khan as a Aspergers syndrome patient who sets out on a journey to prove that every Khan is not a terrorist.
In the best actress category there was a tie between Vidya Balan and Anushka Sharma - while the former was awarded for her stupendous performance in critically acclaimed Ishqiya, the latter was honoured for her role in the successful film Band Baaja Baraat.
Katrina Kaif forgot Farah Khan: Maybe it was the excitement of winning her first award. But in her thank-you speech on Thursday night after winning an award for Best Actor Popular Choice (whatever that means!) for her performances in Raajneeti and Tees Maar Khan at a recent award function, Katrina Kaif completely forgot to make any mention of Farah Khan.
Says a source close to Katrina, "Forget Farah. Katrina didn't make any mention of Tees Maar Khan (TMK) at all! Though the award was for her two performances in Raajneeti and TMK she only went on and on about Prakash Jha and Raajneeti. Farah who was sitting in the audience and had won an award for 'Munni Badnaam' just looked on without any expression." According to a close friend of Katrina it was a genuine oversight. "In all the hustle bustle of the announcement Katrina only heard Raajneeti. She genuinely didn't know she had received the award for TMK also. When she got off the stage and realized her faux pas Katrina didn't know where to look. She immediately SMS-ed Farah to apologize."
A more plausible explanation is provided by another friend of the actress, "She had so prepared herself mentally to treat Raajneeti has her possible passport to recognition, it never struck her that she could get awarded for another performance. TMK just didn't register."
While Katrina was going blue in the face offering explanations, Farah Khan seemed perfectly nonchalant about Katrina's slip-up.
Says a source, "After Deepika Padukone and her attitude after Om Shanti Om, Katrina seems like a blessing. Farah is genuinely fond of Katrina and won't let this incident spoil things between them."
