Amir staying at IIM Bangalore

Aamir Khan is definitely a true perfectionist. The Mr. perfectionist, after having a huge success with Ghajini, is busy doing the ground work for his next flick "3 Idiots". The movie is based on Chetan Bhagat's Five Point Someone - a story about the life of IIT Students in hostel.

To better understand the life of students in Hostels and get into the role, Amir is staying in IIM Bangalore hostel these days. A source says, “Aamir reached the hostel campus of Friday. Even though he had seen pictures of the location, he wanted to see the location for real. Once he reached there, he decided that he must stay at a hostel, as he plays a college student staying in a hostel in 3 Idiots.”

The other cast of 3 Idiots are also staying at IIM Bangalore campus.A student says, “Aamir meets students regularly in the mornings and evenings. He chats with them about their routine, studies and way of life. He wants to know how an IIM-Bian thinks.

Good job Mr. Amir, we can definitely compare you with Sachin Tendulkar now.

Kareena declines a huge international endorsement offer

Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor, who is fast turning into an advertisers' delight, has declined to endorse an international cosmetic brand because her hands are full.

'The international brand is a trademark to reckon with. Any other actress in Kareena's place would have jumped at it,' said a source who refused to reveal the name of the brand.

'Kareena is endorsing brands like Anne French, Globus, Lux, Boroplus, Vivel and Kurkure and clients are very happy with her. Their product sales have shown a rise so it is obvious that they want Kareena to continue to endorse their products,' added the source.

Total Ten: A movie on Mumbai Attack

Mumbai's horrific terrorist tale on 26/11 may soon be translated on the big screen.

Titled Total Ten, the film will be directed by Surnider Suri and produced by Ram Gopal Productions (not to be confused by filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma [Images]).

The film stars Rajan Varma (in the picture), playing Ajmal Kasab [Images], the lone terrorist who was caught by the Mumbai [Images] police, and is presently in custody.

"This role is a challenge for me. There is a message in the film too," Varma tells us. "It is that we must never becomes fidayeen as it will not lead to you anywhere. Look at Kasab today. He is in custody and repenting for his deeds. He is missing his mother in his jail cell and crying. So what is the point? What has he achieved by doing this drastic act?"

Total Ten will go on the floor next week, and will be shot in a start-to-finish schedule.

Varma has earlier acted in My Friend Ganesha. His movies, Jai Maa Jagdambe, Mumbai 118 and Deewane Ne Haad Kar Di, will release soon.



This is the first film to be made on Mumbai's terror nights. Many film personalities have registered movie titles revolving around Taj and Oberoi -- the hotels affected during the attack -- but none of them have gone on the floors yet.
