Karan Johar has been refused permission to shoot in stations in London so his untitled film starring Kareena Kapoor and Vivek Oberoi, had to be relocated to Philadelphia, USA.

The film, which also stars Saif Ali Khan in a guest role, is about life in the western world today. Johar is expected to release the film middle of 2009.

B-Town’s IT couple was undoubtedly the biggest draw at the Delhi Marathon and Saif-Kareena made sure they reveled in all the attention – of each other’s, that is! A love-struck Saifu was seen canoodling Kareena and she, too, played the devoted darling. The Tashan actress kept sipping water from her beau’s bottle even after she was offered a separate one. Guys, we know you are too much into each other but there’s a world beyond too.

After Shahid Kapur and Kareena Kapoor ended their four-year relationship, another long-time couple has followed suit. It is learned that last month, Amisha Patel and Vikram Bhatt parted ways after a five-year stint, with Patel moving out of Bhatt’s flat.

The rumor mills are working overtime as usual, trying to sort out the reason for the rift between the two. Kanav Puri’s name has been thrown into the ring, as the London-based businessman and Patel have been spotted together on several occasions. Yet both Patel and Bhatt describe the rumor as rubbish and say they are just giving one another their needed space in the relationship.

Well, whatever the reason, we’re sure Yash Raj Films is happy to know that Patel will now have more time now to devote to the first film she has just signed with them. It will be directed by Kunal Kohli. The film also stars Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukherji and Rishi Kapoor.

Forget waiting for the marriage ritual of searching for his name amidst Kareena Kapoor’s mehndi design, which is only temporary, lasting about two to four weeks and is pain free. Instead, lover boy Saif Ali Khan has gone and had Bebo’s name inked indelibly in Devanagari script (ancient Indian language) on his left forearm (inspired by footballer David Beckham). The process, which is usually painful, required Khan to sit for two three-hour sessions Thursday at Hakim’s Alim in Bandra for the tattoo.

If this labor of love doesn’t convince Bebo that he is serious about making her his life partner, we don’t know what will. After all, neither Khan’s former wife Amrita Singh nor Italian girlfriend Rozza (Rosy) Catalino were privileged to see their names permanently engraved on Khan’s arm.

Khan is definitely looking at marriage for the two. We recently reported him as saying that he is “extremely and completely committed” to Kapoor and wants to spend the rest of his life with her.

Now that we have an informal commitment maybe the formal announcement will just be a matter of time. According to Indian tradition, if the husband can’t find his name in the mehndi, then they believe it’s not the right match. However in Bebo’s case, she shouldn’t have any problem finding her name on Saif, so only time will tell if they are well-matched or not.

Khan and Kapoor left on Friday for Greece to enjoy a few days of fun and frolic before the remaining cast and crew members arrive for the continued shooting schedule of Tashan.

Tashan also stars Akshay Kumar and Anil Kapoor. Vijay Krishna Acharya has donned the director’s cape for the film, while it is produced by Yash and Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner. It is scheduled for a April 25, 2008 release.

Shahid Kapur is on a high these days. After the super successful Vivah and Jab We Met, he has established himself as Bollywood’s newest lover-boy. So what is Sha-K up to now that he has his new found status?

For starters, he has just given his nod for a lavish love story for which Yash Raj Films has approached him, saying that he fell in love with the script itself. The film will be directed by either Aditya Chopra or his close associate Anurag Singh when it goes on the floor in March 2008.

Other filmmakers too are getting in line to have him sign their projects on the dotted line. Not rushing into anything and taking the proper steps in deliberation, he is trying to make sure he chooses the right scripts and is signing up for them.

It also appears that rules are meant to be broken concerning Sha-K. Not in a bad way, but if we remember it wasn’t too long ago when he said he would only do one film at a time. Well my friends…such is not the case any longer. Sha-K is not only readying himself for the YRF project, but also Ken Ghosh’s film, where, we might add, he will be sporting long hair, and his father, actor Pankaj Kapur’s directorial venture.

So now we can finally say with much confidence that Sha-K has arrived and has made his way into Bollywood’s big league. The rest of the big boys like the four Khans (SRK, Aamir, Salman and Saif) just might need to keep a close eye on this one.
