When photographer Dabboo Ratnani launches his annual calendar, all of Bollywood stops by for the first look.

This year, the photo pro unveiled his 2015 calendar on January 5 to a long list of star muses. There to see their pictures (all hanging on a wall of fame) were Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Shraddha Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Bipasha Basu, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arjun Rampal and Abhishek Bachchan. From the fashion front, Nachiket Barve stopped by, along with jewellery designer Farah Khan Ali.

When they weren’t posing with their pictures and jamming Ratnani’s Twitter feed with doodles and selfies, the stars posed with Ratnani’s daughters (both in shimmering gowns that couldn’t be missed) and tried their hands at taking pictures with a professional camera.

What’s on the star-studded camera film? Pictures displayed at the party included an ecstatic Jacqueline Fernandez jumping in bed, Shah Rukh’s rock-hard Happy New Year abs, and Bipasha Basu flaunting that super-fit bikini body of hers.

A favourite lensman in the industry, Ratnani has worked with almost every star, upcoming and established, in the past, and began putting together calendars in 2000. His 15th edition consists of 24 images, 12 of Bollywood’s leading women, 12 of the industry’s male leads.

Melbourne: The secret behind Kim Kardashian’s latest Paper Magazine winter issue nude cover-shot, which has sent social media into meme frenzy, was recently revealed.

The 34-year-old star was photographed by French photographer Jean-Paul Goude, and the images are homage to some of his 1970s photographs of black women, News.com.au reported.

One image includes Kardashian popping Champagne over her shoulders into a glass resting on her ample rump, a recreation of Goude’s 1976 image “Carolina Beaumont, New York.” In the Kardashian’s shot, the Champagne brand was deliberately covered, because none would lend their name to it.

Kardashian posed fully nude for reclusive fashion photographer Goude at a secret location in Paris in September. The magazine included the cover line “Break the internet Kim Kardashian,” which indeed she has.

Cinema superstars Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan shared stage to pay tribute to music maestro Ilaiyaraaja at the audio launch of R. Balki’s upcoming directorial venture ‘Shamitabh’.

’Shamitabh’ stars Amitabh Bachchan, Dhanush and Kamal Haasan’s younger daughter Akshara, who is making her Bollywood debut.

“We all heard about his music and legendary fan following… We have all heard how his name sold movies. We all heard his name is close to the God in the world of music. We all are here to pay tribute to the divine musician of cinema,” Bachchan added.

When Bachchan asked Rajinikanth about his experiences of working with the legendary composer, he shared, “I know Raaja sir from early ‘70s. He was very naughty and mischievous person at that time. We both used to gossip and used to have our drinks together till morning. And suddenly, I saw a transformation in Raaja sir which extended to his dressing style. And then I started calling him Raaja swami. He is a saint now and mata Saraswati lives in him.”

Kamal Haasan, who has worked with Ilaiyaraaja in several films, said, “Out of his 1000 films, 10 per cent are mine. He created the songs but we own it. After the transformation I started calling him my brother. And today after 40 years for the first time I hugged him. I knew that he would have reached 1000 one day.”

Refuting the rumours of ‘Shamitabh’ being the 1000th music composition of the 71-year-old musician, Balki said, “Let me clarify one thing, ‘Shamitabh’ is not Ilaiyaraaja’s 1000th film. He will reach the milestone with Bala’s upcoming Tamil film ‘Tharai Thappattai’. We are here to celebrate that…1000 is just a number. We don’t need any excuse to celebrate Raaja sir.”

The evening also witnessed performances by Big B, Dhanush along with singer Shreya Ghoshal and Suraj Jagan.

“I am thankful to Rajini sir that he came for this function. When I signed ‘Shamitabh’ I never expected that something like this will happen in my career,” Dhanush said.

The event was also attended by eminent personalities like Sridevi, husband Boney Kapoor, Shruti Haasan, Gulzar, Tabu, Abhishek and wife Aishwariya Rai Bachchan.

Meghna Gulzar was maintaining a low-key about her project “Nyoda”, a film on the sensational murder case of Aarushi Talwar. Recent reports suggest that the filmmaker has received a green signal from the parents of the assassinated girl, Dr Nupur and Dr Rajesh Talwar who are now in prison.
“Nyoda” which was initially named “Talwar” is a storyteller about the life of Aarushi Talwar, the girl who’s murder case shook the whole nation. The topic being sensitive, Meghna Gulzar has maintained the secrecy level regarding the same.
Unlike other movies that were in the process of being made, “Nyoda” will narrate the story of the case from the parent’s perspective. An insider stated, “The film actually builds a defence case for the parents. Yes, the murder and the consequent investigation are narrated entirely from the parents’ point of view in Meghna Gulzar‘s film.”

All the research required to pertain Nupur and Rajesh Talwar’s point of view, was apparently provided by the deceased girl’s aunt Vandana Talwar. Vandana Talwar is currently campaigning to prove the parent’s innocence.
Aarushi murder case was one of India’s biggest whodunit. The 14-year-old girl was found murdered in her flat in May, 2008. Media hoax and different speculations about the case made Aarushi a household name. Aarushi’s parents Nupur and Rajesh Talwar have been sentenced for life for murdering their daughter. Though, Talwar supporters have put a petition in court saying the couple was framed by the police due to lack of evidence.
Earlier, a film directed by Manish Gupta named “Rahasya” was to be released in 2014. The film is based on the Aarushi murder case as well and was reportedly facing troubles with the release date. According to sources it is to be released this year on January 30. The film stars Kay Kay Menon, Tisca Chopra, Mita Vashisht and Ashwini Kalsekar in key roles.
In Meghna Gulzar’s “Nyoda”, Konkona Sen Sharma and Sohum Shah play Aarushi‘s parents, Tabu plays Aarushi‘s aunt and Irrfan Khan plays the officer investigating the case.
