Trust Chunky Pandey to stay in the limelight for one reason or another. He showed sparks of a comeback last year with 'Elaan' and 'D' last year. After getting accolades for his performance in 'D', he has some interesting projects lined up in 2006, which include Ram Gopal Verma's 'Darwaza Bandh Rakho' and Subhash Ghai's 'Apna Sapna Money Money'. With so much happening on the movie front, he is also having a great time on the small screen in 'Rokkky Mera Naam'. A talk show anchored by Chunky Pandey for Sahara's newly launched filmy channel, aptly titled 'FILMY', 'Rokkky Mera Naam' is also getting him quite a few eyeballs and appreciation for his trademark comic punch.
Mohit to Nisha - 'Tumhaara Naam Kya Hai Basanti'
While it's a common news by now that Nisha Kothari is Ram Gopal Verma's Basanti a.k.a. Ghunghroo in his version of 'Sholay', what is interesting to note is that Nisha would be sharing screen time with Mohit Ahlawat again for the 4th time in her short career so far. Though she is paired opposite Ajay Devgan [who plays Veeru] in the film, she does have a few scenes with Mohit Ahlawat [who plays Jai] too! The two share a love-hate relationship in the film, as per the original 'Sholay', and the attitude which the two throw at each other is said to be one of the highlights of the film. After working with Nisha in 'James', 'Darna Zaroori Hai' and 'Shiva', it would be a great sight to see Mohit posing a question - 'Tumhara Naam Kya Hai Basanti....oops, Ghunghroo'!

Naam Tamizhar won't allow release of 'Madras Cafe' in TN
After attending the special screening of John Abraham-starrer "Madras Cafe", members of Tamil activist group Naam Tamizhar vowed not the allow the film's release in Tamil Nadu contending it portrays LTTE cadres as terrorists. The private screening was attended by Tamil filmmaker and group chief Seeman and director R.K Selvamani along with many others. "The film tries to portray late Prabhakaran, LTTE chief, as a terrorist. We don't appreciate it and request the distributors to not screen the film in the state. The sentiment of the film is anti-Tamil and we don't agree with it," Seeman said. "We wouldn't be bothered if our Sri Lankan brothers were not portrayed in a bad light. Prabhakaran sacrificed his life fighting for Sri Lankan Tamils. How can a film possibly portray him as a terrorist?" he asked. "Madras Cafe" earned the wrath of pro-Tamil groups when its trailer was released in July. However, speaking at an event recently here, John said: "My film doesn't take any sides. It doesn't portray anybody as terrorists." Directed by Shoojit Sircar, "Madras Cafe" is slated to release Aug 23 worldwide. The film was even dubbed in Tamil to be exclusively released in Tamil Nadu. The film, which also features Nargis Fakhri, Rashi Khanna and Leena Maria, deals with terrorism and civil war and was reportedly shot in Sri Lanka and India.

Seeman said: "The film tries to portray late LTTE chief Prabhakaran as a terrorist. We don't appreciate it and request the distributors not to screen the film in the state.
