Rockstar: That’s what Ranbir Kapoor is. And that’s the title of his new film with Imtiaz Ali at the helm of affairs. Why, then, will it not rock at the box-office?
Student Of The Year: Karan Johar will introduce two new boys – Varun Dhawan (younger son of David Dhawan) and Siddharth Malhotra – in this young film which he himself will direct. The film will go on the floors in June, 2011.
Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji: Neither an expose nor a satire, genres for which Madhur Bhandarkar is well-known, this one is a slice-of-life entertainer about three guys and how they react when three girls enter their lives. Madhur swears, film toh achchha hai ji.

Mausam: Pankaj Kapur, the actor for all seasons, has gone behind the camera for the first time. He is directing his son, Shahid Kapoor, and Sonam Kapoor in the film. Shahid reportedly plays an Air Force officer and sports a moustache in the film.
Mere Brother Ki Dulhan: Katrina Kaif, Imran Khan and Ali Zafar (of Tere Bin Laden) star in this Yash Chopra production being directed by debut-making Ali Abbas Zafar. And no, actor Ali Zafar and director Ali Abbas Zafar are not brothers in real life.
Short Term Shaadi: This is the tentative title for a film which Karan Johar is producing with Kareena Kapoor and Imran Khan.
Rascals: David Dhawan, the original master of comedies, will be back after a long break. With Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan and Arjun Rampal this time. Kangana Ranaut plays the leading lady of the three rascals, sorry, heroes. Sanjay Dutt is producing this film under his own banner.
Desi Boyz: David Dhawan’s son, Rohit Dhawan, is making his foray into direction with this film starring Akshay Kumar and John Abraham. The two handsome hunks were last seen together in the comedy, Garam Masala. Deepika Padukone is their desi girl.

Yamla Pagla Deewana: If the three rough-and-tough Deols could make you cry in Apne, making you laugh in their second outing together should be a left-hand task for the father-sons trio. The first trailer of Samir Karnik’s film has been so well-received that the film was picked up by distributors immediately – and at fancy prices.
Dhobi Ghat: It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that just the name Aamir Khan today spells magic at the turnstiles. And this one is not only produced by the ace Khan but also stars himself, and is directed by his wife, Kiran Rao. You can bet, Aamir will move heaven and earth to ensure that his wife’s maiden directorial venture proves a success.
Delhi Belly: Never mind if Aamir Khan is not happy with Abhinay Deo’s version of Delhi Belly. He must have seen something in the film to have kept it on the backburner for more than a year rather than released it the way it was. After being done with Dhobi Ghat, which will be released on January 21, Aamir plans to take up this Imran Khan starrer and give it that unmistakable AK stamp. Remember, he had loved the script when he had first read it, which is why he decided to produce the film based on it. And what’s good on paper cannot but be good on celluloid, feels Aamir.
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara: Zoya Akhtar may have delivered a dud in Luck By Chance but the girl’s very lucky. After all, her second film stars Hrithik Roshan, Naseeruddin Shah, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin. And that’s not by chance.
