He can play a college boy (Dil Chahta Hai) and village boy (Lagaan) with as much ease. Also he has an such an understanding of script and screenplay that even average directors have made their career best films with him.

Case in point (RGV in Rangeela, John Mathan in Sarfarosh and Rakeysh Mehra in Rang De Basanti. Aamir has the rare ability to get under the skin of a role and Mr. Perfectionist built a great body for Ghajini in just a few months.

The good old Punjabi munda, with his fair skin and good looks. Akshay Kumar is the fittest actor in B-Town. The ultimate action hero. He is forever leaping off an aircrafts and buildings.

This ladies man along the way AK moved from action to comedy and managed to rule the roost.

2007 was the luckiest year in Akshay Kumar's career. He had four hit movies back to back - Namastey London, Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Welcome.

However popular Aamir, Akshay or Salman can be at the BO it's difficult to beat the charisma and stardom of Hrithik Roshan.

Though his films have become few and far between in the last couple of years Hrithik remains in the top five as he is a fabulous performer and lets not forget his dancing skills and the stunning good looks.

Shocking: Lisa Ray has incurable cancer

Here's a shocking news for all Lis Ray fans. Lisa Ray has been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and she has already started her first cycle of treatment. Multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cell, is an incurable but treatable disease.

On September 3, she wrote on her blog:"I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma on June 23. Started my first cycle of treatment July 2. Not long ago. For me, it was a relief to hear what was wrong."

"The plasma cells in my bone marrow were rampaging, multiplying, squeezing out the red blood cells and it was time to begin doing something about it. I was also tired of being tired all the time.

So when I sat there with Bobcat, my life partner and reservoir of Yellow, and got the news I didn't react and I didn't cry. I'm an actress, believe me, I can be dramatic. Not just then though," she added.

The model-turned-actress decided to undergo medical examination a few months ago after she felt "exhausted, pale and drained" all the time.

Explaining her disease, Lisa said: "Myeloma is incurable. It's a relatively rare cancer of the bone marrow... Every year, approximately 2,100 more cases are diagnosed. I'm a junior member in many ways, having been diagnosed at 37, while the average age is 65... makes the disease not quite as 'sexy' as other cancers."

However, Lisa is hopeful that "it can be cured" with the new treatments available in the healthcare sector these days.

"So today with Velcade and, Revlimid and other promising new treatments in the pipeline, our survival rates are improving. But only with an ever expanding toolbox of treatments and awareness can this cancer be beat.

So I'm going to do everything I can to wrench the spotlight onto myeloma and cancer awareness. I believe it can be cured. That's the dirty realist in me," she wrote.

Lisa was born to a Bengali father and a Polish mother. She joined showbiz as a model and later ventured into films with Tamil movie "Nethaji". After that she was seen in Vikram Bhatt's "Kasoor" in 2001, but stayed away from mainstream Hindi films as she could not speak the language fluently.

In 2002, internationally renowned filmmaker Deepa Mehta cast her opposite Rahul Khanna in the crossover film "Bollywood Hollywood". The Canada-based director later repeated Lisa in her Oscar-nominated period drama "Water" (2005), in which she impressed critics with her performance as a young widow.

BLUE
The Most Expensive Movie
250 ft deep lies the secret of Blue. Treasure hunters come in droves, lured by tales of a fabled treasure.

But none but one has ever returned from the deadly depths of the Pacific Ocean; leaving behind a bloody trail and even more intriguing rumours... For not only is the treasure inaccessible; it's guarded night and day by deadly sharks.

Aarav, Sagar and Sam- three men with differing motives- find themselves diving deep into these murky depths- to hunt for the treasure.

For wealthy Aarav, it's about the intoxicating high of more money and more risk.

For honest Sagar, it's only about saving his girlfriend Mona and his brother.
For dare devil Sam, it's simply a matter of life and death- his own.

As emotions run high and motives run deep, the dark side of human nature lays bared. And hundreds of feet underwater, Aarav, Sagar and Sam grapple, initially with sharks, and then with the demons of greed, betrayal and above all, their own pricking conscious...

Super Hero Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar all set to play Super-Hero
By Subhash K Jha

One of Akshay’s secret plans is to play a super-hero for his son. However Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan have already gotten to the super-hero roles in Krissh and (soon-to-be-shot) Ra.1, respectively. Even Vivek Oberoi is playing a super-hero in Prince, It’s Showtime.

The idea is to play the role like never before. And Akshay is working on it. Mainly because Akshay’s son Aarav loves Akshay in noble and/or larger-than-life characters.

Akshay Kumar’s biggest fan is son Aarav who is already an expert swimmer has never been more excited about any of his dad’s film as he is about Blue where Akshay spends most of his time underwater looking for a treasure.

But this is a role with an extra punch….in more ways than one. Akshay plays an out-and-out negative character, greedy ruthless and ready to go to any lengths to get what he wants.

Now even when the film is ready Akshay is eager to show Blue to his son.

Says a source, “ Akshay knows Aarav will be kicked by the idea of his dad playing a champion swimmer and that too named Aarav after his son. In Aarav’s eyes Akshay is the true hero.

When Akshay tells Aarav pauranic stories Aarav always seen his dad as Rama or Arjun, valorous and ready to conquer the world. To watch his dad play a man of dubious morals and grey aspirations would be a new experience for Aarav.”

Akshay has earlier played a negative character in Khiladi 420. But that was double role with one of the twins turning evil. Besides Aarav wasn’t born when it was released.

Says the Blue director Tony D’Souza, “It’s true, Akshay plays a man who thinks getting what he wants is more important than how you get there. I wrote the character for Akshay. He was to be called Akshay Malhotra. But then when I saw that Akshay had tattooed his son’s name on his back I decided to change the character’s name to Aarav.”

Hotties who went under knife to look Sexy
More than talent, it is the overall oomph factor of an actress that is responsible to make it big in Indian cinema. And to win this personality contests, Bollywood wannabe babes just need to pass 3 criteria- looks, looks and yes, looks!

No wonder, our tinsel town divas take painstaking measures to keep themselves ever beautiful and oh-so-perfect, so what if that means they have to go under the surgeon’s knife to get that perfection. After all, masterpieces have to be chiseled and carved to perfection!

Let’s take a quick look on the Bollywood beauties, who underwent drastic plastic surgeries, and came out looking like a dream that could give Greek goddess Aphrodite a run for her money.

Ahem and to that, may we also add a few disastrous plastic surgery goof-ups, babes who came out of the surgery looking like nightmares!

Let’s start the countdown- from the best to the worse. Easy to say that Rekha rules the roost as the evergreen beauty of Bollywood, with a little bit of help from Dr. Plastic!

Rekha- The true epitome of the word Diva; Rekha at the age of 54, can still give Bollywood PYTs (Pretty Young Things) a run for their money.

Well, pretty face doesn’t come easy; Rekha’s age defying beauty cost her an exorbitant cosmetic surgeon bill, but hey who’s complaining! Rekha got her nose reshaped, which gave a different dimension to her. She undraped the plump look and took an avatar of the sexiest Indian beauty till date.

Interestingly, not many know that Rekha was disliked by her friends post surgery, for her somehow stinking nose! Nevertheless, Rekha became irresistibly hot favorite among men. So, it was worth giving a chance, looking at the super career graph of Rekha.

Karisma Kapoor- Prem Qaidi and Raja Hindustani. Darling, do we need to say more? Karishma turned from yikes to yum after a short visit to beauty parlor and a long one to her plastic surgeon.

Although she was written off B-town in the early years of her career due to overtly mannish appearance, still Karishma managed to swing to the top with a total makeover in Raja Hindustani.

From being a proverbial ugly duckling, she became an overnight sensation and neither fans nor Bollywood could have enough of her. With the tremendous oomph factor she unquestionably became the most stylish female-actor in the film fraternity ever.

Sri Devi- A perfect combination of sensuality and talent is what shapes Sri Devi. Her everlasting beauty has always been the talk of the town.

Her seductive bedroom eyes trigger wild fantasies and are undoubtedly her most attractive feature. So, what made her go under the knife? Apparently Sri Devi was not too happy with her lips! She too underwent a cosmetic surgery on her upper-lip.

The surgery brought a drastic change in her looks for good, though now there was a bit less to kiss; still every filmmaker yearned to work with her.

Taking a cue from these beauties, Bollywood babes Shilpa Shetty and Priyanka Chopra also underwent surgeries and had nose-jobs done; now do we need to mention what a straight nose can do for you!

Piggy Chops is at the top of her game in Bollywood and Shilpa, well an IPL team, a posh London apartment is no small feat for a nose. Although, the Box-Office magic is yet to work for Kangana Ranaut and Shruti Hassan who post surgery have been listed in the category of spellbinding beauty.

Like always, what goes up comes down, and how!

A list of Bollywood bevies who went from bad to worse under the knife and came out looking like nightmares!

A countdown of Bollywood babes who got off the wrong side of a surgeon’s scalpel, and ended up looking like a wrongly assembled jigsaw puzzle!

Koena Mitra- Plastic surgery nightmare Koena lost her average looks when she underwent a cosmetic surgery to enhance her breasts, nose and face.

Her gamble did not pay-off as this bong beauty ended up with scar on her nose and thus, closed herself for an year.

Now she has her nose corrected again, but alas! She did not play her cards well in this gamble.

Koena had an adverse effect leaving her in the category of moderate looking gals in B-town despite great vital stats.

Rakhi Sawant- Sardonically, oops adoringly known as the item-queen of Bollywood, Rakhi Sawant too underwent a cosmetic surgery. Item-Drama queen Rakhi got a set of bigger boobs to match her big mouth.

Still breast augmentation did not proved fruitful for her career or life. Currently Rakhi is putting her big assets to test, and is on a look-out for her Mr. Perfect.

Though looking at the recent developments in Rakhi’s swayamvar we might stand wrong, as Rakhi’s enhancement are working wonders for her personal life or shall we say publicity-oriented life.

Too bad you can’t get a surgery for wagging tongue!

Mallika Sherawat- With oodles of sex appeal Mallika Sherawat has no doubt created her niche as the sexiest actress ever...

Mostly due to her humungous set of twins, which grab all the limelight, and that’s better as they take away all the attention from her pinched nose, which somehow make us wonder whom did she go to for that nose job, Dr. Victor Frankenstein?
