Road to Bandstand
After the news of Salman playing guru to Shoaib Akhtar, he comes another bit on the Salman-Shoaib front. It has been reported that in the wee hours of Saturday morning Shoaib Akhthar and Salman Khan entered into a bit of an argument concerning their individual fitness levels and physique. Shoaib Akhtar challenged Salman to a race to prove a point or two. Shoaib instigated Salman by taking off his shirt the Salman way. The two then set off starting from Salman's Galaxy Apartments to the other end at Taj and back. Guess who won? It was Shoaib who made it ahead of Sallu Bhai by a second or two. Looks like Shoaib knows his way out at Bandra. Let's hope he soon finds the right road to bollywood too.

Tabu's takes the road to Oscars
As per reliable sources, Tabu could well be having a neck to neck competition with the cream of internationally acclaimed actors if her THE NAMESAKE director Mira Nair has her way. Impressed with the reception this award winning film has got in both India and overseas with special mention reserved for Tabu, who plays the central protagonist in the film, Mira Nair is all set to work towards getting Tabu nominated for Oscars this year. From the time since she completed the shoot of the film, she had great comments reserved for Tabu. Always confident about the fact that Tabu's act had cut across boundaries, she was sure that her performance would be widely recognized. Now after the immense commercial success of the film and the name that Tabu has managed to earn worldwide since the release of the film, Mira Nair appears to be quite confident that she would be able to showcase Tabu's talent to the rest of the world as well. About THE NAMESAKE The Namesake is a tri-generational story of a Bengali family. The film starts with the beautiful Indian singing of Ashima (Tabu). Her initial goal in life is to become a great artist/singer. But family concerns override her plans as she returns home to find a marriage arrangement being put forth for her. Her parents introduce her to her future husband, Ashoke (Irfan Khan), an architect who's been studying and living in America. The marriage takes place and Ashima accompanies her new husband to New York ("Half a world away"). She immediately begins missing her family but her forlorn attitude is whisked aside as Ashoke teaches her the ways of the City. She becomes pregnant with her first child, Gogol. The naming is tricky because normally it is done by an elder from within the family (all of whom are still in India). So Ashoke names him after one of his favorite authors (Nicholas "Gogol", a famous Russian writer). Gogol bares the name with disdain, never fully realizing its importance (one of Nicholas Gogol's books actually saved Gogol's father's life after a fatal train accident in India many years before). Gogol eventually changes his name to Nick, thus ending his family's tradition of keeping an appropriate Indian name. It is this Americanization that is most troubling throughout the film. It invades the very fabric of what Gogol's family represents. Although not entirely without merit (America does give him a good education and a nice job), the culture of his parents seems stilted and un-cool. As Gogol (and eventually his sister) grow into adulthood, they search for love in America, and find it via Americans. This is also another blow to Ashima and Ashoke (Gogol's mother and father). Americans live in the fast lane and often have to choose between one spouse's family over the other. This comes into sharp contrast as Gogol begins dating a beautiful blonde American named Maxine (Jacinda Barrett, POSEIDON). Maxine's pull is strong and forces Gogol to drift farther away from his roots. His parents call and call but never hear back. It takes a devastating family event to get Gogol back on track and it is this that gives the film its emotional heft.

Vivek Oberoi: Country Road Take me Home
Vivek Oberoi may be maintaining a low profile but that hasn't stopped the industry from standing up for him. Lately there has been a spate of controversies surrounding Vivek. It started off with a rumour about Sunjay Dutt, his co star in 'Shoot Out At Lokhandwala' being upset with him over girlfriend Manyata. Yet another story that did the rounds was that Vivek was on a depression mode post the engagement of Abhishek-Ash. And now recently, there's news of Salman Khan snubbing Vivek in Dubai. Sources close to Vivek say, 'These stories are being blown out of proportion just because the once media friendly Vivek is not accessible to anyone anymore. Since there is no access to him, people are adding two and two and coming up with twenty two.' Even stories about Vivek going into depression post the Abhi-Ash engagement is being laughed off by the Dubai unit of Feroz Nadiadwala's 'Fool And Final. Says a unit member, 'We had a blast shooting with Vivek in Dubai. Vivek is very focused on his career. He was shooting non-stop and hitting the club in the night with all of us. The Abhi-Ash was bound to happen sooner or later. In fact, not once did we see him upset or depressed over it. He was the life of the set, making all of us laugh and making sure we had a blast.' 'Even reports about Salman ignoring Vivek in Dubai seems so incongruous.' He adds, ' We were shooting with him all the time and not once did Vivek approach Salman, nor did they ever cross paths, so the question of snubbing does not arise at all.' In fact a director close to both of the actors says, 'This story circulating about them is so amusing. They have both moved on with their lives and are busy with their respective careers.' Vivek Oberoi is a talented actor with a tendency for regularly putting his foot in the mouth which often lands him in trouble. Hopefully he has learnt his lessons well and would from now on concentrate on enhancing his acting prowess rather than attempting to being the self proclaimed blue eyed boy of the media or a poodle to a superstar brand ambassador of beauty products at Cannes festival. Also he should refrain from being the butt-of-all-jokes at his film press conferences where he tries to sell his wares a bit too hard. And that atrocious sense of humour needs some massive trimming too. Not a tall order I guess. Or is it!
