Clash Of the Titans!

Television programmes really like to toy with us these days. Take show timings, for instance.

Just when we're all set to watch Salman Khan's new show Dus Ka Dum on Sony Entertainment Television that starts on June 6, NDTV Imagine has decided to premiere its serial Junoon Kuch Kar Dikhanne Ka with Hrithik Roshan on the same day.


The only consolation is that Hrithik's show starts at 8.30 pm, so we have half an hour to watch him before we switch over to Sony.

While Dus Ka Dum is a game show, Junoon is a musical consisting of three teams headed by singers Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Ila Arun and Anand Raj Anand.

Unlike Salman, however, Hrithik will not be appearing on the show everyday. So, next week onwards it will be Sallu's show all the way

A 25 million Dollar Deal for Hrithik?

A billion-rupee deal for Hrithik's 'Kites'?

Bollywood filmmaker Rakesh Roshan is yet start shooting for his forthcoming movie 'Kites', but the Bollywood trade circles are rife with speculation that prominent distribution company Eros International has bought the world rights of the movie for an unprecedented Rs.1 billion ($25 million).

Some reports put the figure at Rs.1.2 billion, saying that besides buying the world rights Eros has also bought the music and satellite rights of 'Kites'.

But neither Filmkraft, Roshan's production banner, nor Eros have confirmed the reports.

"It is just a speculation in the market," a Filmkraft source told us.

The movie, starring Hrithik Roshan and the US-based Spanish model Barbara Mori, is scheduled to start next month. To be shot mostly in New Mexico, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, it will be directed by Anurag Basu with music by Rajesh Roshan.

The movie is about the romantic engagements between an Indian boy and a Latino girl who do not speak each other's language.
