Ajay Devgan finds his Sita

According to reports in a tabloid, Raj Kumar Santoshi's magnum opus RAMAYAN is budgeted at Rs 90 crore. He has signed Ajay Devgan to play Ram and he was on the look out for Sita. After considering many actresses, he finally zeroed in on Kajol.
Santoshi and Ajay go back a long way. They have done films like KHAKEE, LAJJA, THE LEGEND OF BHAGAT SINGH etc. Infact the two are great buddies as well. Even the lovable couple Ajay-Kajol has done several films like RAJU CHACHA, PYAAR TO HONA HI THA, ISHQ etc together.
This is the first time they'll be working together (last being RAJU CHACHA) post marriage. It may be recalled that there was a buzz that the duo had also signed a film titled 50:50 earlier.
Kajol seems to have become very meticulous about choosing films post marriage. Well after her successful comeback in FANAA, one can only expect more!

All eyes on Ajay-Kareena love scene in 'Omkara'

An intimate love scene between Ajay Devgan and Kareena Kapoor in Vishal Bharadwaj's 'Omkara', which releases Friday, is raising a lot of interest.
'There is a three-four minute love scene between Ajay and Kareena. Though it is an erotic scene, it has been shot very aesthetically. The scene is part of a montage for the song 'O sathi re',' said a source who has seen the film.
Those present on the sets said that Bharadwaj, who has reportedly filmed the scene 'superbly', had to reassure a hesitant Kareena that it would be done very tastefully.
'Kareena was not comfortable doing such an intimate scene. But when she saw the monitor after giving the first shot, she agreed to do the entire scene without any hassles,' the source told IANS.
In Shakespeare's 'Othello', on which the film is based, the protagonist suffers from an inferiority complex due to the beauty of his lover. Bharadwaj, therefore, is said to have wanted someone who looked beautiful even without makeup, and found Kareena to fit the bill perfectly.
She plays a Brahmin girl who leaves her family for Ajay, a half-Brahmin and the chieftain of outlaws.
'Kareena had said that Ajay is the heart of the film and her character - Dolly - is the soul of the film. And surely the film belongs to Kareena, Ajay and Saif Ali Khan and it will be tough to decide who will walk away with the credits finally,' added the source.
A special screening was recently organised for the cast and crew of 'Omkara'.
