Bollywood actress Amrita Rao's younger sister Preetika has been finalized to play the main lead in fiction show "Beintehaa" on Colors.

A fervent love story, "Beintehaa" will be produced by Farhan Salruddin's Fortune Productions and it marks Preetika's TV debut.

Before becoming an actress, Preetika was a movie journalist. She made her debut in Tamil cinema in December 2010 with the romantic movie "Chikku Bukku".

Before Preetika, another Bollywood actress Tanushree Dutta's sister Ishita entered showbiz through television show "Ek Ghar Banaunga". 

Actor Hrithik Roshan, who donned the superhero avatar in the "Krrish" franchise, doesn't need a superwoman in real life.

"I don't think I need a superwoman in real life because I have my mother (Pinky), wife (Sussanne) and sister (Sunaina). They are my superwomen and I'm glad to have them in my life. They hold a very special place and I don't want anyone else to replace it," Hrithik said journalists here.

He was speaking at the meet-and-greet event organized to celebrate the success of "Krrish 3", which has seemingly minted over Rs.200 crore worldwide.

When asked how it makes him feel to play a superhero, he told, "Being a superhero is like playing any one of us because we all have it inside us. It has been a great journey for me and I learnt a lot by playing the character."

"I have learnt about several values a superhero posses and his service to the world. Even if we have five percent of those values, we can make the world a nicer place to live," he further added.

Rakesh Roshan-directed and produced "Krrish 3", which also features Kangana Ranaut, Priyanka Chopra and Vivek Oberoi in important roles, has done exceptionally well in Tamil Nadu as well. 

Bollywood actress Poonam Dhillon, last seen in the third season of TV reality show "Bigg Boss", is set to return to the small screen with a fiction show.

The yet untitled show is loosely based on highly acclaimed Sridevi-starrer movie "English Vinglish" and Poonam will be essaying the role of a loving mother-in-law.

This is not Poonam's first fiction show - she had previously featured in "Kittie Party", which had a successful run of approximately 500 episodes.

The show, about self-awakening and self-respect of a woman, will soon go on air on Sony. 

As a graduate in fashion designing, Sonakshi Sinha has an eye for detail, and she loves street shopping. She determined to accompany her stylist for a shopping spree in the lanes of Kolkata when she was shooting for "Bullett Raja".

Sonakshi plays an aspiring actress in the Tigmanshu Dhulia film in which she is paired with Saif Ali Khan. The film's narrative is set against the backdrop of Kolkata and Lucknow.

From Mall Roadto Chowringhee Lane and College Street, Sonakshi travelled everywhere with her stylist to pick clothes for herself.

"Sonakshi loves street shopping, and when she learnt that the clothes for her role have to be picked up from some famous lanes, she jumped to the idea and insisted that she too goes with her stylist and it will also help her to understand the role better," told the source.

"Bullett Raja" is about a mafia based in Uttar Pradesh. 

Actor-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan told, he is planning a "Krrish 3" sequel but in future will work with Hrithik on a fresh script outside the "Krrish" franchise.

"I'm currently not working on a film outside the 'Krrish' franchise with Hrithik, but I will do a film in the future. I would love to direct him in a fresh script as soon as I'm relieved with this franchise," Rakesh Roshan said journalists here.

The filmmaker, known for directing movies such as "Khoon Bhari Maang" and "Karan Arjun", launched Hrithik with hit movie "Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai" in 2000.

"I will start working on the sequel soon. Due to public demand, we may include some sidekick characters as well," told Rakesh Roshan.

Accompanied by Hrithik and cinematographer Tirru, senior Roshan was here to celebrate the success of "Krrish 3", which has been received well in Tamil Nadu. 

Singer Kailash Kher is paying a tribute to master blaster Sachin Tendulkar with his "Sachin anthem". The song will be available on his website for free download for a month.

The 40-year-old told the video of the song will be available on his YouTube channel from Nov 14, the day Sachin will star playing his last match in Wankhede stadium in Mumbai.

"We are presently shooting for the video of the song. The song will be available online from Nov 13 and the video can be seen on our YouTube channel from Nov 14. We want to celebrate this moment as a festival for a month, so the song will be available for a free download on our website for a month," Kailash said in an interview.

The lyrics of the song goes like "Ek hai samandar, ek chand, ek sooraj, ek hai Himalaya, ek hai gagan, ek hai Bharat, ek Bharat ka sachin". The talented singer says that the song shows his love and emotions for the cricket legend.

"I finished the song in three days. From composing to recording and production, it was all complete in those three days. I am a big fan of Sachin and this song has Kailash's love and emotions for him," he told.

The "Tauba tauba" singer already had plans to pen down a song for Sachin when he met him in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

"When Sachin made his 100th international century against Bangladeshin 2012, even I was present in Dhaka during that time. I had planned to write a song for him since then, but got busy with something or the other. About two-three weeks ago, I was talking to Suresh Raina who told me that this will be Sachin's last Test match. That's when I decided to pen down the song and show what I feel about him through it," he told.

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut will visit the dargah of Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti along with Vishwas Patil, director of her forthcoming movie "Rajjo", to seek blessings for the film.

The duo will visit the holy shrine Tuesday afternoon, and according to sources close to the team, they will be there for an hour.

Confirming it, Patil told in a statement, "Kangana and I are visiting Ajmer Sharif for taking Baba's blessings...It's been hundred years of Indian cinema and I have tried to make a different film, so I need Baba's love."

"Rajjo", releasing Friday, has Kangana essaying a nautch girl's role.
