Ileana Snacked huge Remunaration for 3 Idiots..

Ileana has become as the highest paid actress in South India. No other South Indian actress has been paid Rs 1.5 Crores for a Telugu or Tamil film. Although Aishwarya Rai took Rs 6 Crores for Robot , she is not considered as South Indian actress but Bollywood heroine. So Ileana’s rate of Rs 1.5 Crores for the remake of 3 Idiots is the highest amount ever paid to a South Indian actress.

Director Shankar who is impressed with the work of Ileana wanted her to be the heroine for both the versions of 3 Idiots - in Telugu and Tamil. So she demanded Rs 1.5 Crores for both the versions together. So the producers obliged.

This puts her in No.1 slot in South India

Akon took off shirt on stage, a la Salman Khan

Gurgaon, April 17 (IANS) International pop star Akon threw open his black shirt and his black vest just the way our own star Salman Khan does in movies and on stage.

What followed thereafter, was a sight to behold! Hundreds of boys ended up removing their t-shirts and shirts and swayed it in the air, as the Senegalese-American singer sang 'Take it off' at his grand concert here Saturday night.

'If you are a true Akon party animal, take off your shirts!' Akon shouted out to all his fans.

Seconds later, a whole lot of men in the 2000 plus crowd bared their chest, and waved their shirts and t-shirts in the air in sync with Akon. There were yellow, red, black, white, blue shirts in the air all over the HUDA Grounds here.

The girls were only going crazy as Akon stripped down to a fit, toned bare chest.

As if the excitement wasn't already enough, Akon threw his shirt, and several people jumped to catch it. His vest followed and everyone seemed to want to grab the sweat-drenched piece of his clothing.

Akon set his Indian fans in a party mood as he belted out popular hits like 'Don't matter', 'Ghetto', 'Smack that', 'I Wanna love you', 'Dangerous' and 'Beautiful', among others.

The pop star turned 38 Friday, and was in full mood to party hard. He went crowd surfing in a transparent balloon, and later all by himself, letting his fans get a full feel of the Akon magic.

After all this acton, he was quite tired and demanded water too. But Akon was considerate enough to offer water to his fans as well - but in a different way.

He threw open at least 20 bottles of water and splashed it all over the crowd that stood right in front of the stage, and later even shared the cake he cut for his 38th birthday at the venue.

Thanks to the concert, Akon has left behind memories of being a people's person - and said he would love to return to India next year.

And in a way he lifted the spirit of music lovers who were disappointed after the cancellation of Bryan Adams concert here a few months ago.

'Delhi, you're all party animals!' he admitted before leaving.

He was invited to India for the concert organised by Netsurf Entertainment, B.M. Group and IVNO Events and Productions in association with Thrive Entertainment and S. Raj Entertainment. He will perform in Bangalore Sunday.

Koena Mitra plays a bisexual in her first Hollywood project, ‘The Story of Naomi’

Koena Mitra was last in news when she had a milkshake named after her. Since then, the news columns have been missing her as the girl had shifted her base to LA and was hunting hard for a Hollywood project. After putting in a lot of efforts, the girl has started her first Hollywood film, Story of Naomi, being produced by Michael Hirshenson of the When Harry Met Sally fame and directed by the ace fashion photographer Ash Gupta.
The movie has Koena play a bisexual girl who gets attracted to men and women equally. The movie also features actor Kevin Sorbo and Chris Devicchio. The first poster of the film shows Koena getting intimate with another girl.
Producer Hirshenson is all praises for Koena and says, “She looks international and her discipline and hard work can take her places. It all depends on how much she’s ready to learn.”
And it seems, the producer is quite right as this model-turned-actress has worked on her accent and was taking classes for it as the West puts more stress on dubbing and other technicalities.
All we can say is ‘Way to Go Girl’!!
