LMAO at the Kareena comment.
Btw I think if indeed DP-Ranveer have chosen BM over Shuddhi...KJo should think of hiring Sid Malhotra...he's got good reviews in Villian trailer.

Sid is hot but is KJo that big of a numnut that he is going to gamble 150 crores on Sid whose last movie collected like 30 crores in total? But who knows.. Love ke liye kuch bhi karega. 😆 At times like this you realize how terribly small the Bollywood actor pool is.

Who else is there? Among the older successful lot everyone else is a misfit. KJo will either have to go back to HR again or pick someone newer.

@Tantal & Shreya,
I won't be surprised if KJo takes Alia and Siddharth for Shuddhi! The film has become an izzat ka sawaal for him now and seems hell bent on making it, whether he gets his desired star cast for the film or not!
Though I am really surprised that Ranveer and Deepika (if indeed they were in the running for the film) decided to choose BM instead of Shuddhi! All said and done, KJo is anyday a safer bet than SLB.

<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif">@Himani, earlier I used to think that some members just baselessly accuse DP of using her PR, but now that I have been sort of regular on the BF forum for the last couple of months, I believe her PR is super active and hence super annoying too! And just like the boy who cried 'Wolf' 'Wolf' too much, now even if something comes out in Deepika's favor from a non-biased channel, most people simply assume that its her PR at work. </font>




<div>

Every other actor actually had a active pr. Its just that unlike deepika, they do not get highlighted in this forum. Katrina's name had been associated with hny, ws, bombay velvet, raees or even the sb movie with salman. She is in none of them. Sonam's name came up for ff, piku, raees. Amidst all the pr chant, deepika ends up doing most of the movies her pr claims that she had been offered

^Butler, that might very well be the case too! The thing is that Deepika probably has the largest fan based on IF and since 2013 was very good for her, articles related her Deepika and her films keep coming out in large numbers. In comparison, other actors do get talked about, but not as much as Deepika and the films she is doing.
I don't think most members dispute the fact that Deepika is not in the running for most of the films that she is associated with. Its just that in comparison, other actors, even ones who are as popular or even more popular than Deepika don't get discussed here as much as she does.
It probably just annoys non-fans, just like it annoys fans when Deepika is criticized or bashed here. I love Deepika and while it does irritate me also to see some members writing nasty stuff about her, I do realize that it happens the other way too. And just like, they can't stop fans from gushing on our favorites, we also cannot stop critics/non-fans from writing whatever they wish to regarding a celeb.
Outside the forum, its a very different world! Ranveer might be the Crown Prince of BF, in reality, its Ranbir who is far more popular. Similarly, Deepika might be bashed for her active PR on BF, she remains undisputedly popular amongst the masses! I don't think we should take BF as a criteria for anything other than having a fun time discussing films and stars!

Once there was news of Ranveer choosing BM I was sure DP would go for it too. I think work related to Shuddhi has been slow for whatever reason. Kareena kept waiting for it for ages. Ranveer-Deepika wouldnt want to repeat Katrina's mistake from 2013 ie put all eggs in one basket and the basket explodes. 😆

^I do hope Ranveer and Deepika don't make a combo-package of themselves...only doing films together from now onwards!😆 Kareena must be realizing how working with the Nawab hurt her career so badly, that she is getting offered films like Singham 2!

Poppy - it's not only the overly aggressive PR of Deepika regarding her movie. After she bagged her one-off Lux modeling gig with Imran these were the kinds of PR articles that flooded the media>

Deepika Padukone Takes Over Katrina Kaif's Spot As Lux's Face!

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone is currently the most trending actress in the B-Town. Be it movies, Box-Office or fashion, she is right on top of the ladder. Word is out that she has replaced Katrina Kaif by becoming the new face of the soap brand Lux. Deepika Padukone is definitely on a roll. She has become the soul of many movies and the essence of beauty ads. Likewise she continues to get gorgeous each day and will be the fresh face of Lux. There has not yet been any formal announcement of this agreement but we hope to see an ad from the brand featuring the leggy lass. Apart from becoming the new brand ambassador of Lux, Deepika is currently busy shooting for her upcoming film which is titled as Finding Fanny Fernandes. The 27-year-old is juggling between a handful of projects. She also has Happy New Year coming up and in this one she is paired opposite superstar Shahrukh Khan. It looks like the year 2013 has turned out extremely lucky for Deepika. She has had big hits and she is gaining more fame and recognition. However, it's not just luck that has worked in her favour. The actress has a terrific talent and that is why she is being applauded in this world of showbiz.

Cut to present - Katrina is still the face of Lux but her PR hardly ever puts out anything to counter act those rumors in the first place.

Deepika has been in contention apparently for 9 movies just this year (courtesy Nick). Now, that may very well be true but to encounter multiple speculative articles on each individual movie leaves one gasping for breath.

No I dont think its was a question of combo package. Both were desperately trying bag some big films for 2015 and thereafter. The cast of the other big films are either confirmed(SB film for instance) or still in the air completely(Shuddhi, Mohenjodaro, Time Machine film). Maybe BM just happenned to get confirmed first for them. DP wont sign a big film unless she is sure who is the hero. The bigger heroes are all either booked(Khans, Ranbir) or too slow(Aamir, HR). BM is her best bet. Though personally I wish she did films with the newer guys now. Btw what will happen to Piku now?😆
