More news →Rashi Khanna - Catching leaves after fire
"Supreme" movie has released on May 5th and our heroine Rashi Khanna has promoted the film before the release for a while and later after the release. And right now guess what Rashi is doing? Our hottie's PR team has suddenly started promoting photos of the actress saying that Rashi Khanna looked very fashionable and striking during the promotions of "Supreme". But this statement has come too late. Because after the release of "Supreme", there are heroines like Kajal, Samantha and Sridivya promoting their films like Brahmotsavam, 24 and Rayudu movies. And people have forgotten Rashi's fashionable look already. So the moot question is, why catching leaves after fire for attention?
Rishi-Shoma unite after 23 years
Remember the tender romance of Rishi Kapoor and Shoma Anand in 'Coolie' that released way back in 1983? Though the movie was a HIT, it was known more for Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor, Rati Agnihotri and off course Puneet Issar who came into limelight due to an unfortunate accident on the sets. No one thought of pairing Rishi and Shoma after that and while Rishi went on to do dozens of more romantic films, Shoma more or less settled down in 'bhabhi' roles only to re-emerge as a middle aged woman with good comic timing in films like 'Hungama' and 'Kya Kool Hain Hum'. 23 years after they first came together, Rishi and Shoma would now be seen together in yet another comic outing 'LOVE KE CHAKKAR MEIN'. The film is directed by BH Tharun Kumar who made a moderately successful 'Naye Padosan' a few years back that still enjoys a decent re-run on small screen.

Rishi in search of success
Richard aka Rishi, brother-in-law of Ajith, is hopeful that 'Thamizhagam' will make it big. The young lad made his debut with 'Kadhal Virus' and then rechristened his name from Richard to Rishi in search of success. Rishi is shooting in Ooty for 'Yean Ippadi Mayakkinai', directed by 'Sillunu Oru Kadhal' fame Krishna. On his brother-in-law Ajith, Rishi says, "He is a source of inspiration for me. He had no backing and it was his self confidence that propelled him to great heights in filmdom. I want to act with Ajith. But, I would like to prove myself before sharing screen space with my sister's husband". "I play a police officer in 'Thamizhagam' while 'Yean Ippadi Mayakkinai' is a musical thriller. I play a salsa teacher in the movie".
Russia welcomes US Senate’s ratification of arms cut deal
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has welcomed the ratification of a new US-Russia arms reduction deal by the American Senate but said it will take some time for the Russian lawmakers to study the amendments to the treaty. The US Senate Wednesday ratified the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) with Russia, with a vote of 71 for and 26 against. The agreement will come into force after ratification by both houses of the Russian parliament. “President Dmitry Medvedev was satisfied with the news that the US Senate had ratified the new START treaty and expressed hope that Russia’s State Duma and the Federation Council would be ready to review and ratify this document,” the Kremlin spokeswoman Natalya Timakova said Thursday. However, the president believes that “the Russian parliament might need some time to study the legal aspects of the ratification by the Senate prior to making its own decision”, Timakova said. The new START treaty, which restricts both nations to a maximum of 1,550 nuclear warheads, down from the current ceiling of 2,200, was signed by Medvedev and his US counterpart Barack Obama in April this year. The Senate ratified the new arms pact after 18 hearings and seven days of debate, answering more than 1,000 questions in line with the document. The White House and State Department spent several months in heavy debates with Republican lawmakers to pass the bill. The Republicans were attempting to put the final vote off until the beginning of 2011 when the number of Republicans in the Senate would significantly increase, giving them more muscle. A resolution, which accompanies the nuclear arms reduction treaty approved by the Senate, contains at least two minor amendments that could draw Russia’s attention – the Republican senators demanded that Pentagon should modernise the US nuclear triad and that Washington should start discussions with Moscow on Russia’s superiority in tactical nuclear weapons. The resolution, though, does not change the nature of the treaty or the obligations of the signatories.
