Bipasha Basu came down to Delhi for what was expected to be just another promotional activity by a celeb. It turned out to be anything but that, as accusations of starry tantrums, breach of contract, abusive behaviour, harassment – many of them contradictory – flew around. Bipasha and Shemaroo say that she was being coerced into being part of the hotel chairman’s birthday celebrations. The chairman, Ashok Mittal, predictably denies this.

Bollywood hunk John Abraham is bowled over by his girlfriend and actress Bipasha Basu’s new chiselled figure and he now wants to follow her fitness mantra.

“I have tried Bipasha’s workout DVD personally and found it to be equally good for men as well, although it is meant for women. I just think that I should follow her routine now,” John told reporters here today.

“She is in the most amazing shape. When I looked at her recently, my jaws dropped as I said this can’t be for real. This is the best; she is in the prime shape of her life,” the actor said.

Bipasha, who is known to be a fitness freak, has created a unique workout programme lasting 25 minutes in ‘Love Yourself’ launched last week.

STRIKER SIDDARTH

Director: Chandan Arora
Cast: Siddharth Narayan, Aditya Panscholi, Vidya Malavade, Padmapriya
Producer/Director: Indian Films-Studio 18
Release: on February 5

Set in a Bombay ghetto in the mid ‘80s and based on true-life accounts, Striker is a story of triumph of human spirit over indomitable odds. His patience and cool attitude are Surya’s biggest strengths. But life has ways of testing even the strongest of men! From the director of Main, Meri Patni Aur Woh and Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon, and top-lining Siddharth Narayan (of Rang De Basanti fame), Striker is the story of a carrom player who grows up on the fringes of a criminal existence but does not succumb to it.
Striker is not about good versus evil.It is the story of a friendship, life in the city of dreams in the 80s, and of a game that is common but non-existent. Quite similar to pool (conceptually), carrom is common among people from the middle and lower income groups in India.
Born into a poor family, ‘Surya’ played by actor Siddarth grows up with few luxuries. Poor health keeps him away him away from school and that is when his elder brother introduces him to carrom.
Winning the Junior Carrom Championship at 12 is not enough to keep Surya’s fire for the sport burning through adolescence. Hopes for a job in Dubai replace the passion for carrom, as Surya grows into a young man.
Striker is the story of a carrom player who grows up on the fringes of a criminal existence but does not succumb to it.
