Pappu Can't Dance salaa....


Aamir Khan is at it again. After making digs first at Amitabh Bachchan and then at Shah Rukh Khan on his blog (via a dog Shahrukh), his next target is Salman Khan. At a recent music sitting of his nephew Imraan's debut film, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Aamir and director Abbas Tyrewalla put together a hilarious song inspired by Salman.
Aamir Khan has not only been an intrinsic part in discussing every minute detail of his nephew's film but also played an important role in composing and writing the songs of the film. A source says, “Aamir has been meticulously planning and executing every aspect of his nephew's debut film with director Abbas Tyrewalla. He also roped in A R Rahman, the best name in the music industry to compose the music of this film.”
But Aamir seems to have more than just personal interests in the film's making. He didn't spare a chance to make personal digs at co-stars wherever possible.
Says a unit member from Aamir Khan Productions, “Recently, Aamir had a music sitting with Abbas Tyrewalla to discuss the concept of a particular song. Abbas had to come up with the lyrics as per Aamir's expectations. The song has a lot of attitude and spunk and is filmed on Imran and his gang of friends where they are addressing the song to Pappu, a burly rich guy in their college. It was hilarious to watch Aamir discuss the concept keeping Salman in mind and he also ended up saying, 'I hope Salman doesn't mind this song' at the music sitting.”
“Throughout the song's discussion, Aamir went all out to make fun of Salman Khan who is well-known for his muscles, penchant for wearing and gifting expensive watches, fast cars and bikes, his popularity with women, his peculiar accent, and his unique dance style,” adds the source.
Check out the song:
Hai muscular…
Very muscular
Hai popular…
Very popular
Hai muscular hai popularSpectacular! he's a bachelor
Pappu ki gaadi tez hai
Pappu kudiyon mein craze hai
Pappu ki aankhen light-blue
Pappu dikhta angrez hai
Rado ki ghadi haathon mein
Perfume Gucci wala… But Pappu can't dance, saala!
But Pappu can't dance, saala!
Haan Pappu naach nahin sakta!

Forbidden Kingdom: Jackie and Jet love fighting and this is only the first film!


The teaming up of a Jackie Chan and Jet Li had everyone in the martial arts community salivating and smacking their lips. Things got a bit apprehensive when it looked more and more like Forbidden Kingdom would turn into a family film. While I don't think that is too far off from accurate at least there is going to be some appropriate action scenes for film-geek parents who take their spawn to the theater.
Both Jackie Chan, 53, and Jet Li, 44, said their on-screen duels were the most enjoyable ones they had shot in more than a decade, reported Sina. Jackie Chan said, "Just one fight scene would take 12 days to shoot. Before a shoot, we would say to each other, let's be slower, slower. Once the fighting started, we couldn't control ourselves, we would fight faster and faster." Their duels went by in such a quick blur, the playback had to be set a a lower speed so the moves could be seen, said Jet Li. Even Yuen Wo Ping said that they were too fast.
When Todd wrote about Fearless he noted that Li was slowing down. He was fast, but not as fast as he has ever been. And that's fine, we understand aging and growing old. But perhaps this proves nothing can be hindered by sheer enthusiasm to work together and bringing your 'A' game. Even if it is an 'A-'. But for Yuen Wo Ping to say they're to fast? One word. DANG! Just don't end the movie with a goof reel. Follow the jump to read Jackie Chan's personal reflection about fighting with Jet after the jump.
Also, we can tell you that it slipped during a press conference yesterday that Forbidden Kingdom may be meant to be one of three films [haven't we learned anything about trilogies this summer?]. Yesterday, drector Rob Minkoff declined to confirm talk that the movie is the first of a trilogy. Li Bingbing gave the game away, however. Asked about her character, she said: "Can't tell too much. We have to shoot a sequel."
