A Mumbai court on Saturday rejected Bollywood star Aamir Khan's plea to grant him the custody of his brother Faisal Khan, who is said to be suffering from some mentally illness.

The Mughal-era romance of Emperor Akbar and his Rajput consort, brought to life by filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker, wooed audiences with its epic tale of love transcending barriers.

The stars of the film Jodhaa Akbar Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai were in the capital on Friday night for the premiere of the film. Though critics have appreciated the film, it has not hit screens in Rajasthan due to protests by some Rajput groups. The stars react to the controversy.

Both Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan pulled out all stops to promote their home productions last year, and though SRK seemed to have topped the box-office charts in 2007, Aamir seems all set to reign showbiz in 2008.

Three men shopped for clothes from a leading store in Mumbai for 40,000 rupees. They then flashed an ICICI bank credit card. The sales executive was stunned when he saw that the name on the transaction slip was none other than SRK.

Be it the Bhuvan of "Lagaan" or the Mohan of "Swades", the protagonists in Ashutosh Gowariker's films love their motherland and "Jodhaa Akbar" promises to be no different.

An animated version of Tamil superstar Rajinikanth is set to wow fans in a 3-D film that features him in the role of an armour-clad warrior -- with a whole new set of his trademark mannerisms.

For composer A. R. Rahman, the biggest challenge in "Jodhaa Akbar" was creating music that could echo the union of cultures in the period film -- the story of 16th century Mughal emperor Akbar's romance with a Rajput princess.

Don't expect American filmmaker Chris Smith to repeat dialogues from his award-winning "The Pool" because he doesn't speak Hindi.

Music played a vital role in recreating the feel of Bollywood in the 1950s for "Khoya Khoya Chand", says the film's music director.

The makers of a new movie set in London's Bangladeshi community that infuriated community leaders and sparked heated debate about freedom of speech said the protests were unjustified and exaggerated by the media.
