Police interrogate Aftab

Aftab Shivdasani The Bombay Police grilled several film personalities including Aftab Shivdasani in connection with the murder of producer Ajit Dewani.

Dewani was shot dead on June 30 by two alleged members of Chhota Rajan gang, who barged into his office fired at him from point blank range.

Dewani was Aftab's and Manisha Koirala's secretary. He had also directed three films -- Namchin, Ramgadh Ke Sholay and Teen Moti.

After conquering the world, now it's the universe....

Abhishek Bachchan He inherits his father's sense of humour.

When a scribe asked Abhishek Bachchan, how it felt working with an ex-Ms Universe Sushmita Sen for Bus Itna Sa Khwaab Hai after already working with an ex-Ms World Aishwarya Rai, the actor replied with a cheeky smile, "I am expanding my horizons!"

Abhishek's next move -- an Abbas Mastan film opposite current Ms World Priyanka Chopra.

His horizons sure seem to be expanding with each film!

Sunny and Dharmendra -- The dhamakedar duo

Gadar After the success of Gadar- Ek Prem Katha, Sunny Deol is on top of the world.

Although Dillagi was a dud, he's isn't ready to part with his directorial baton just yet. And he's set his sights on teaming up with dad Dharmendra for his next project.

If brother Bobby joins the action too, you can bet that they'll have smashing hit at the BO!

Good times for Saif

Saif Ali Khan Saif Ali Khan is enjoying his time in the spotlight, too. He's bounced back well with Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, which has been well accepted by the audiences.

Nobody can get enough of his next film, Dil Chahta Hai. With Aamir Khan and Akshaye Khanna for company, he'll be laughing to the BO, all the way.

And he didn't even need to add an extra "s" to his name, for good fortune to come his way.

Filmmaker Mrinal Sen to face the camera

After shooting from behind the lens for years, renowned filmmaker Mrinal Sen will now face the camera instead - for a documentary based on his life and his filmmaking techniques.

76-year-old Padma Bhushan recipient Sen, whose realistic depiction of middle class Indian life won him many international prizes, will star a television documentary, directed by friend and film critic Chidananda Dasgupta.

The 30-minute documentary will follow a question-and-answer format with Sen being quizzed extensively on why he chose the less-lucrative "parallel cinema" genre over the more popular song-and-dance routine.

Sen's major films include Ek Din Pratidin and Akaler Sandhane and Khandhar.
