“I can’t explain what Delhi Belly is about!” Imran smiles. “The film is in Delhi, what Guy Ritchie’s Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) was, in London.

Finds phoren distributors for his new projects
Aamir Khan is in Europe meeting up with several international distribution houses to discuss his next three films -- Peepli Live, Dhobi Ghat and Delhi Belly. Since they are films with different sensibilities, Khan wants a new channel to take his films to a new audience -- the kind that appreciates world cinema. He doesn't want to go through the usual Eros and UTV way, like most big Hindi films do.

I like working hard for a couple of years and then taking off for a while. I travel, live, pursue my interests, work in other countries and then, when I miss home, I fly back, work here and then take off again,” says Shenaz.
She has this uncanny knack of landing roles when she’s busy partying.
