Anil Kapoor gave away all his earnings for the making of Mr. India

Anil Kapoor, the most popular 'Invisible Man' of Indian cinema, brings back memories of the cult film - Mr. India.
no films in the pipeline, and was ready to play even short and middling roles. Under general circumstances no leading actors of that generation would have agreed to play a part of invisible man, but for him the situation was very different.

Anil recounts that it was indeed very thrilling as he not only got the role of the protagonist, but the film name Mr. India was also very alluring. Jokingly, he says that besides, it was also a phase in his life, where he was a beggar and beggars can't be choosers. The versatile artist reveals that his strategy behind the film was to promote himself as the lead actor of Mr. India, and keep the account of him being invisible a big secret. It was only when people got to see that movie that they found out about the 'key element' of the movie, the Invisible Man, which became a cult in itself.

This film is special to Anil Kapoor as his brother and producer of the movie Boney Kapoor and Shekhar Kapur the director of the film gave all they could to make the movie. Now that this movie is all set to be remade, who can believe in the fact that the producers had to struggle to get financers for the movie, and evidently Anil Kapoor gave away all his earnings as an actor to make this movie.

Sanjay Dutt Seeks Six More Months To Surrender

 Invoking "humanitarian" grounds, actor Sanjay Dutt moved the Supreme Court on Monday seeking six more months to surrender so that he can complete his film projects. The court had on March 21 granted the actor four weeks time to surrender to serve his remaining three-and-a-half-year jail term for illegally possessing arms in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case.

In his plea, Dutt claimed that producers had invested around Rs 278 crore in his ongoing film projects, and he needed at least 196 days to complete these.

"This court may extend the time to surrender in terms of order dated March 21, 2013, by a period of six months upon an undertaking of the petitioner to surrender on expiry of the extended period and upon such terms and conditions as this court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case," said the application, which is likely to come up for hearing on Tuesday.

Dutt made it clear that the plea was "based entirely on humanitarian ground" as it seeks to invoke extraordinary jurisdiction of the apex court under Article 142 of the Constitution. "Unless the prayer of the petitioner is granted, he and others would suffer serious loss and prejudice and livelihood of several families would be affected," said the application.

The actor also highlighted his contribution to society, saying he donated crores of rupees to the Prime Minister's welfare fund and worked towards rehabilitation of tsunami victims.

On the question of filing a review petition against the SC verdict, Dutt contended that he was still soliciting legal advice on the issue.

Meanwhile, three other convicts in the blasts case — Zaibunisha Anwar Kazi, Issaq Mohd Hajwane and Shariff Abdul Gafoor Parker alias Dadabhai — have also moved the apex court for extension of time to surrender. They pleaded that the time limit fixed by the Supreme Court be extended till their clemency plea is decided by the President.

Former Supreme Court judge and Press Council of India chief Markandey Katju had made representations to the President on the trio's behalf.

The apex court had upheld the TADA court's verdict for five-year jail term to Kazi, who is 70 and suffers from cancer. Hajwane, 76, was sentenced to life imprisonment after the court enhanced his five-year jail term, whereas the life term to Parker, 88, was maintained.

In their writ petitions, mentioned before the court by senior advocate Fali S Nariman, they have pleaded that they should not be asked to surrender till the representation made by Katju on their behalf is decided by the President. Their petitions will also be taken up for hearing tomorrow.

"Since the procedure established by law under Article 21 of the Constitution does not end with the final judgment of the highest court but also extends into the domain of exercise of presidential power under Article 72 and since such power has been duly invoked, the order of this court be suspended until the decision by the President on the petition filed before him on March 28 and now pending," read the petitions.

Nicole Richie ‘Wants Lean Frame’

Nicole Richie is apparently set on losing her 'womanly curves'.

The star has reached a worryingly low weight in the past and is known for her slender physique.
While pregnant with kids Harlow and Sparrow, the 31-year-old showed off a slightly fuller figure, but Nicole is said to be training hard to get her slim frame back.
'Nicole usually spends a couple of hours working out every day - and it shows,' a source divulged to British magazine Star.
'While she's not at the scarily skinny levels she reached seven years ago, she is fast losing the womanly curves that she put on when carrying kids Harlow and Sparrow.'
The fashionista works out with celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson and has always been a fan of hardcore exercise.
She has denied an eating disorder in the past and defends her lifestyle by saying she is planning for the future.
'As I get older, I realise the importance of being fit and maintaining a healthy lifestyle,' she previously explained.
'It's important for me to condition my body now, so that all I have to worry about is maintenance rather than playing catch-up later.'

Vidya on Sanjay Dutt: I Wish his Punishment is Reduced.

Sanjay Dutt's 'Parineeta' and 'Lage Raho Munnabhai' co-star Vidya Balan feels that the Bollywood actor deserves a lesser punishment in the 1993 blasts case.

Maharashtra Governor K Sankaranarayanan has received several representations and petitions from various individuals and organisations, both seeking and opposing clemency for the 53-year-old actor.
Dutt has been ordered by the Supreme Court recently to return to jail to complete the five-year-sentence in the blasts case. But as he has already served 18 months, he would have to undergo the imprisonment for three-and-a-half-years.
"We all have faith in judiciary system. I don't think it is right for me to say anything about that. But as someone who really considers him as special and dear I just wish that his punishment becomes less. I know there are people who deserve this... but all of us are reacting from a personal point of view," Vidya said.
"Sanju is very special for me. I will always be there for him. God bless him," she said on the sidelines of an event held over the weekend.
Meanwhile, Vidya is looking forward to the release of 'Ghanchakkar' a comedy where she plays a loud Punjabi housewife. The film directed by Rajkumar Gupta will see her opposite Emraan Hashmi.
"The promos have good response. It was a different experience for me, she is so loud. I used to feel I won't be able to deliver dialogues with so much loudness but Rajkumar made me do it," she said.
The 34-year-old star will be seen next in Pritish Nandy's home production film 'Shaadi Ke Side Effects' opposite Farhan Akhtar.
"The shooting is on and we are having fun. First time, I am working with a writer-actor-director-musician (Farhan) it is great, he has holistic perspective on things. It is fascinating for me," Vidya said.
