Arjan wants to follow Akshay and Salman
Ask any upcoming star in the industry what heights do they want to reach in Bollywood and they will name Amitabh Bachchan's. Oh, and we aren't talking about the 6 feet 3 inches height but his super star stature! But then there are some like Arjan Bajwa who have a greater desire of acting with AB as his son! So far the sonny roles have been made famous by AB's own son Abhishek in Sarkar, Akshay Kumar in Waqt and Ek Rishta and then Salman Khan in Baghban and Babul. Now waiting in the queue is Arjan. The dude has always wanted to act with AB as his son but the desire has become even stronger after he recently got introduced to Big B by his beta and bahu Aishwarya and Abhishek. Hope film makers are reading this and Arjun's wish is fulfilled!
Mustafa Zahid's band cheated in Dubai
Rumors are that ARY Entertainment promoted and advertised that the leading Pakistani Rock band Roxen (whose lead singer Mustafa Zahid was introduced by the Bhatt camp to render 'To Phir Aao' and 'Tera Mera Rishta' in 'Awarapan' last year) was going to perform in Dubai. But it turned out to be a case of misleading advertising as ARY never brought Roxen down after all! The fans went wild and cursed the organizers of the show and demanded reimbursement of the tickets. Even when the show was an hour away from starting, fans were screaming for ROXEN unaware of the fact that the band wasn't even in the city. Faisal Khan, Roxen manager, confirmed the news saying, 'It's a shame that they cashed in on Roxen to sell tickets and then backtracked. It is thoroughly unprofessional and unethical, and we intend to file a case against them soon. For our fans in Dubai who got disappointed let me tell them that Roxen is coming very soon to promote their new album and perform in their city."
