Colors today announced its big plans for its marquee format show - Bigg Boss. This year, the channel has signed both, the DABBANG Salman Khan as well as the MUNNABHAI Sanjay Dutt as hosts for Bigg Boss Season-5. This is the first time in the history of Bigg Boss in India that 2 top Bollywood superstars would be hosting the season. Talking about Bigg Boss Season-5 plans, Ashvini Yardi, Head of Programming-COLORS, said, "Over the last 3 years, Colors has taken Bigg Boss to newer heights of entertainment and popularity. Now, with both Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt as hosts, we're sure that Bigg Boss Season-5's appeal will touch unprecedented heights." Ashvini further added, "Given the way Bigg Boss has been performing over the last 4 seasons growing from strength to strength, this year we plan to leverage the chemistry and talent of Sanjay and Salman and with our plans on the content front, we are confident to make the show even BIGGER." Talking about his association with Bigg Boss Season-5, Salman Khan said, "I greatly enjoyed working on Bigg Boss' last season and received a lot of positive response from fans and well-wishers alike. It's an exciting format that makes for compelling viewing and I am glad to be back for another season. I think it's a great move by Colors to also sign-up Sanjay Dutt for Bigg Boss Season-5. It can only mean one thing for the viewers - more excitement and a differentiated appeal for this season." Commenting on his television debut, Sanjay Dutt added, "I am extremely delighted that I am making my foray into television through a concept like Bigg Boss - a show that holds a nation's attention for more than 3 months." He further added, "I loved watching Salman host the last season...I thought he was mind-blowing with his sense-of-humor and inimitable style." Bigg Boss Season 4 was a runaway hit as over 90 million viewers from across the country tuned in for the series, the finale episode itself generated a TVR of 6.7. In fact, the TVR generated by the Bigg Boss Season 4 finale episode also managed to shadow the 6.1 TVR garnered by IPL final cricket match. The show has been growing from strength to strength right from its inception. 'Bigg Boss' presents the unique combination of reality and real unscripted drama. It is the ultimate reality show where 14 handpicked strangers are locked in a house, for close to 96 days - with over 50 cameras following their every move 24x7 and Bigg Boss, the ultimate authority in the house who ensures that their stay is anything but comfortable. As the 14 hand-picked contestants vie with each other to survive in the Bigg Boss house, irritation, backbiting and backstabbing reach its prime. This is one show that brings out the best and the worst side of contestants.

Zindagi Na Milegi Fir Dobara

After enjoying a madcap image of youth in 'Delhi Belly', it's time to take a fun-filled trip with another bunch of guys - Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol in the exotic locales of Spain in 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara', which releases Friday.
If city-centric 'Delhi Belly' took a peep into the lives of a section of youngsters through three friends, 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' too is an urban drama where three friends venture out to have some fun time together.
Directed by Farhan's sister Zoya Akhtar and produced under the banner Excel Entertainment, 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' is about a holiday that changes the lives of three best friends - Arjun (Hrithik), Imraan (Farhan) and Kabir's (Abhay) forever.
The film was previously titled 'Running With The Bulls' but the name was later changed to the present one. It is the second directorial venture of Zoya after critically acclaimed 'Luck By Chance'.
Kabir, a wealthy young man who works with his father's construction company in Mumbai, is engaged to Natasha (Kalki Koechlin), daughter of a hotelier. Kabir wants to go on an extended bachelor party with his best friends Arjun, and Imraan, before he ties the knot with her and invites them to join him.
London-based Arjun is a financial trader who works at a huge firm. As he grew up without a father and lived a tough life, so his entire focus is to get bigger, better and faster, while Imraan is a copywriter who works at an advertising agency in Delhi.
When Kabir offers to take them on a vacation, Imraan readily agrees, but Arjun is reluctant as he is too tied up in his work. However, after much cajoling he agrees and thus starts their Spain sojourn.
All three meet up in Barcelona and set off on an adventure that helps them iron out their differences, get rid of their fears and alter their perception about various things in life. The holiday turns out to be a lesson in life for them and force them to break out of the box. The three-week journey changes their lives forever.
As luck would have it, Laila, played by Katrina Kaif, a bohemian fashion student from London is also there. She takes time off to teach diving every year and this time she decided to do it in Spain, where she meets Arjun, Imraan and Kabir.
The mega-budget film has been extensively shot in Barcelona, Pamplona, Bunyol, Andalucia, Egypt and Mumbai.
The La Tomatina festival of Spain was re-created for the shoot of the song 'Ik Junoon'. It was shot in Bunyol, Valenci, in Spain. Almost 16 tons of tomatoes were used for the shoot and were flown in from Portugal. The film has already created a lot of buzz with its songs and promos.
After a long time Abhay got an opportunity to work in a mainstream commercial film and it also gave him a chance to make good friends with his co-stars Farhan and Hrithik in real-life. While shooting for the film, the three did some adventure sports like skydiving and scuba-diving.
Zoya has also made the three lead actors of the film sing a song 'Senorita', composed by trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, is a rage among people.

Hrithik, Katrina, Farhan to drive from Mumbai to Delhi

ZINDAGI NA MILEGI DOBARA stars are truly living up to the title of their film by doing the unthinkable! When a cast as heavy as Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol , Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin decide to go on an adventure road trip from Mumbai to Delhi, it shows that they surely want to live it up and 'let themselves go'.
The stars will be driving through India stopping at various cities en route, Gujarat and Rajasthan being two major states. As per the plan they will do the driving bit as much as possible on their own to get the real and the raw feel of the road trip. After all, covering a distance of roughly 1500 kms. will be quite a task. The journey will flag off on Thursday, 7th July from Bandra, Mumbai and will end on 10th July in Gurgaon where the star cast will be performing at a live public concert.
Ritesh Sidhwani, the producer says, "This film is about a bachelor trip that the three boys decide to go on. And now we are gearing up to relive the experience once again." ZNMD is about living each moment like there would be no second chance. The film is all set to hit the theatres on 15th July.
