Ever since the Saif Ali Khan-Anil Kapoor-Akshaye Khanna-Katrina Kaif starrer Race was declared a hit, there have been talks of a sequel to the film. The latest buzz in the industry is that Abhishek Bachchan will step into Saif Ali Khan’s shoes in the film. Race 2 will also star Anil Kapoor and John Abraham.
Our source said, “Saif is playing the lead in Vishal Bharadwaj’s next with Deepika Padukone. He is also acting in Kunal Kohli’s next. The actor has also been with his own film Agent Vinod. With this kind of a tight schedule Saif had no option but to opt out of Race 2.”
Apparently, clashing dates between Vishal’s film and Race 2 was the reason why Saif chose to leave the latter. Director duo Abbas- Mastan are keen to have Abhishek Bachchan on board, according to rumours. Talks are on between them. But, when contacted, producer Ramesh Taurani denied the rumour and said, “As of now Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and John Abraham are in Race 2.”

“It went too soon, too soon That age when cats fiddled And cows jumped over the moon...” From Tension Nahin Leneka by Bachchoo On the strength of a few series of situation comedy for TV and the fact that I have written material for stand-up comics and parodists, I am invited to participate in a seminar on comedy at a German university. The particular department of the university has post-graduate students who learn through the medium of English and in the case of this seminar have chosen the option of what universities call “post-colonial” studies.

The year is still new, and we are full of good intentions. This week we learnt that the government’s sporadic efforts — mostly weak and often mindless — to change anti-dowry laws for better implementation may include laying down rules on how much you can spend on weddings. The Planning Commission’s Working Group on Women’s Agency and Empowerment has recommended an income-linked ceiling on marriage expenditure, which would include gifts as well as celebratory feasts. In short, if you try to spend beyond your means on your daughter or son’s wedding, you’d better be ready for the dowry inspector.
