Shah Rukh Khan, who is shooting for Rohit Shettys film in Wai, has been riding a bike to commute on the sets which are spread over 20 acres. Says an onlooker, The set covers a vast area of land. Most of the unit folk use cars to reach different spots on the sprawling sets but Shah Rukh prefers the bike. He will also be seen riding it for some scenes in the film as well. The source adds, Shah Rukh has been juggling his shoot and other commitments. At times he shoots during the day and flies to Mumbai at night and returns the next morning for the shoot.

Most filmmakers shoot a song sequence in four to five days. But South director Shankar took one month to shoot a track! As he is known for filming in exotic locations across the globe, for his upcoming Tamil film starring Vikram and Amy Jackson, he chose China as his location. The song has been choreographed by Bosco-Ceasar. Says a source, The songs were in shot in exotic locations like Panjin, Lexiaguo, Huanglong and Li River as each location was very different from the other. The unit folks had to travel a lot to for the shoot schedule. Vikram confirms, Yes, we did shot for a month for the song.

Says a source, Kareena has no reservations about doing such scenes. She is a thorough professional and a directors actress. She is ready to do what the script requires if its an integral part of the movie. The scenes will be shot in Bhopal next month Adds the source, The details of the scenes have been worked out and both the actors are comfortable about it. We also make sure that it will be shot aesthetically so there should not be any issue. Jha remained unavailable for comment.

Ameesha Patel is presently completing her film Shortcut Romeo opposite Neil Nitin Mukesh that releases in June. At the same time she is busy with her home production Desi Magic which goes on the floors next month as well as doing events across the country. The actress whose event schedule is choc-a-bloc will be travelling to four cities in 10 days to perform at sangeets, mehndi and other marriage functions. Ameesha has always been a hot favourite as she is known for her looks, talent and of course her dancing skills. Though Ameesha is completing all her commitments as a star, she is starting work soon on her home production simultaneously. According to sources, Ameesha and her business partner Kuunal Ghoomer have decided on two boys for their film Desi Magic. Says Ameesha, We cant make an official announcement yet but Desi Magic is a youth-centric film. The actors, the music and the look is all going to have a very fresh and youthful appeal. We shall announce the names of the two boys soon. In the meantime the team is busy with the music of the film and DJ Aqeel has done a brilliant job keeping in mind todays young audience. It also has a beautiful melodious romantic song from Lalit Pandit. The team is super happy with the way the film is shaping up and is now working towards it going on the floors soon.
