Keira Knightly to star in sci-fi thriller ‘Never Let Me Go’

A hole in the wall inspired Slumdog book

In the slum where Jamal Malik lives is a special wall. The wall encases a computer that Malik and his friends have taught themselves to operate. Every day, these slumdogs surf the internet, solve math puzzles and read e-books on the computer. Jamal's favourite game is one about saving a princess called Latika.

Slumdog mania pushes CD price

Slundog Millionaire's Oscar sweep has got the pirated CD vendors smiling. The renewed interest in the movie has led to rise in demand for pirated version of the movie. And vendors have doubled the price to cash in on the craze.

Both Hindi and English versions of the movie are in demand nowadays. A pirated DVD of any movie is usually available at Rs25 to Rs35. But vendors are now selling the pirated version of Slumdog Millionaire at Rs50 and above.

Honeymoon sequence stalled!

If sources are to be believed, the last day of the honeymoon sequence shoot for Sapna Babul Ka…Bidaai on a beach in Kerala was stalled because the fishermen at the beach objected to it.

Adnan to dish the dirt...

Adnan Sami is very keen to pen a tell-all autobiography and says it would be a dramatic revelation of his life which has seen many ups and downs. "I definitely want to write an autobiography. I have had a colourful life and I have gone through many things. Just imagine how dramatic the book will be given my ups and downs," Adnan told After Hrs.

The 35-year-old has been frequently surrounded by controversies related to his personal life. He is currently going a marital crisis as his reported third wife Sabah has dragged the singer and composer to court filing divorce, amongst several other complaints.

Missing!

He is the only 'acting' member of Slumdog Millionaire who chose not to attend the premiere of the movie. He was not even part of the celebrations; forget about being part of the cast who went to the Oscars. Is something wrong, Mr Mahesh Manjrekar?

"I don't think I am such an important member of the film. I have a small role. I don't think I merit anything out of the film," he answers.

We beg to differ. Actors with even smaller roles were seen dancing at the premiere party and the post-Oscars parties. So, why was he the only man who chose to stay away from even the Mumbai premiere of the film?
