It feels as if I got a thousand jadu ki jhappis all together. It’s ecstatic and I love all of it.” Romp on, Neetu, romp on!

"Dabangg was a whole lot smoother process for me because Salman was there as a mentor and guide," she said.
"Most people opt for the glamour way to begin with but the role of Rajo was something I couldn't refuse.
Dabangg has been a perfect platform for me and very few people get that in their very first film," the 23-year-old actress said.
Sonakshi says the film is a perfect package with just the right producer, director, script, her co-star and mentor Salman Khan.
"Salman is an amazing co-star to have. Never once did he make me feel like a newcomer. He is always full of inputs, advice and inspiration. Our families have known each other for a while now so the comfort level has always been there. He has always pushed me to better myself in every way, be it fitness, acting and even overall personality," Sonakshi says.

I play someone who just she loves attention," giggles Amrita, "There are moments when she just comes.
On the scene aur aate hi ek patakha phodh deti hai. Since the film is based on Delhi and its high society, she has to do something striking to get her fair deal of attention.
This also has to do with the fact that her character belongs to a small town called Bahadurgarh which is an hour long drive from Delhi." For a Mumbai girl who has seen a sophisticated lifestyle throughout her growing up years and has a good fashion sense, it was quite a challenge for Amrita to don a behenji persona.

"This has physically been the most challenging film for me. I had to learn how to skate, then I had to act blind, I had to hold a pigeon, run behind a chicken, get bitten by a dead fish - don't ask me how," Deepika said.
"I fell a zillion times and even hurt my knee. By the way, my knee still hasn't healed. Oh! I also fell into a ditch with my face-in, got knocked over by an auto and hit a lamppost.

No Italian Job for Katrina

Why Katrina Kaif has chosen to walk out of the much-talked-about The Italian Job is a mystery. After months of speculation, the actress quit Abbas-Mustan’s Bollywood remake of F.
Gary Gray’s 2003 original. Katrina has cited date problems for walking out of the film. Recently.
She signed a new project with Yash Raj Films. Simultaneously. When Dostana 2 was postponed to December, her original dates for the film had to be changed.
Though the actress had signed The Italian Job when it was announced eight months ago, she let go of the project because managing dates was becoming a problem.
What’s shocking though is that Katrina let go of a role that was actually quite a meaty one. Apparently.
She would have played the role Charlize Theron enacts in the original. Our source said, “There have been rumours.
That Katrina was not keen to do Abbas-Mustan’s The Italian Job. Apparently, she had even asked for some changes in the script. Obviously.
Katrina walking off at this stage comes as a surprise, considering her role is extremely pivotal in the film.”
Added to this, you wonder why the actress would let go of a directing pair like Abbas-Mustan, especially after her last film with them, Race scored well at the Box Office. Apparently, when Katrina expressed her anxiety to Abbas -Mustan, they talked to her at length. And they did convince her until her dates for Dostana 2 were pushed to the end of the year. Since The Italian Job is supposed to go on floors in mid-November, neither Abbas nor Mustan could argue further.
