NEW DELHI - Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor romanced on the 125th floor of a hotel in Melbourne for their forthcoming romantic movie “Main Aurr Mrs Khanna”.

“Usually the Australian government doesn’t allow such film shootings to take place in the Realto hotel, that too on the 125th floor. But when they found out that it was none other than Salman and Kareena who were going to shoot there, they readily agreed,” said a source.

“The view from the 125th floor was breathtaking and overlooked nearly the whole of Melbourne. Most of the romantic scenes between Salman and Kareena have been shot here since the location was important to the scene,” added the source.

Releasing Oct 16, “Main Aurr Mrs Khanna” is directed by first-time director Prem Soni.

‘Aladin’ is the buzz word for Riteish

Riteish Deshmukh is going an extra mile to promote his forthcoming film “Aladin” - he wears T-shirts with an ‘A’ embroidered on them for all the promotional events.

“Riteish has got the ‘A’ of ‘Aladin’ stitched on several of his t-shirts and vests and makes it a point to wear them at every event relating to the film or during his interactions with the press,” said a source.

Even director Sujoy Ghosh was impressed with Riteish’s enthusiasm to promote the film.

“When I met Riteish for the music launch of the film, he was wearing a blue pullover with ‘A’ on it. I told him it looked very cool and he replied that he’s got a whole collection of such t-shirts. That’s the kind of passion an actor can have for his work,” he said

In this contemporary take on the classic fairy tale, Riteish will be seen along with Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt and Jacqueline Fernandez. The film is slated for release Oct 30.

Govinda wants to play variety of roles, loses weight

Comedy king Govinda feels that he should try his hand in other genres as well and is working on his physique for the same. He has already shed 30 kg.

“I am losing weight and making physique to do different cinema… it’s just that I am not publicising because then if I am not able to do good after it, then I’ll be criticised,” Govinda told IANS.

“I’ve lost about 30 kg in the last one-and-half years. I’ve quit dinner and I am eating light. Sometimes I even skip the lunch and my family has been very supportive, especially my wife Sunita,” he added.

The actor has been associated with comic capers, the last being “Do Knot Disturb” that released Oct 2.
