A new home and a new Govind film for Govinda Govinda

Hero No 1 Govinda has signed on for Govind Nihalani's next film. And he won't be up to his crazy antics onscreen, this time.

Also with his Chappar Phaad Ke fee Govinda, a Virar local, has moved into a swanky new Juhu pad.

And more than his new home what pleases the ChiChi more is his new neighbour actor Dharmendra.

Manoj dislikes dogs

More than his sinking career, actor Manoj Bajpai is terrified of dogs! When he had to do a risky shot involving wolves for Aks, he simply refused!

So director Rakesh Omprakash Mehra with no choice but to shoot with a duplicate.

Manoj apparently worked on his physique for the film. Sadly, all that body-building was in vain as he turned into jelly as soon as he heard the tiniest doggy whimper.

The magnanimous aura of a grand spectacle

Director Shanker, known for his cinematic extravagance, has used over 500 old cars and 34 movie cameras to shoot a small action sequence for his new Anil Kumar starrer Nayak.

From what we've heard the director has outdone himself with the visuals. And with the punchline "The magnanimous aura of a grand spectacle" splashed across the Nayak posters, we wouldn't doubt his word.

At the music launch the director even said that Kamal Haasan, who had seen the film, was jealous of the leading man as felt he missed out on being part of such an outstanding film.

Aamir launches website to address industry problems

Aamir Khan launched a new website EnterMedia2001.com -- which will have interactive message boards on the Indian media and entertainment industry in Bombay.

The website is the initiative of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) which will hold a seminar called 'EnterMedia2001' on the 7th and 8th of August.

Aamir Khan said that it was very important to address issues like piracy and act on them.

The direction toward change will be initiated when accounting firm Ernst&Young documents the findings of the seminar, and presents them to the Government.
