After nine years, Bobby Deol will be seen doing a negative role in his upcoming flick ‘Ek - The Power of One.’

The 39-year-old actor, who played a similar role in Bichhoo, said that he has no problem playing the role of a professional killer yet again.

Bobby told, “Though I also did such a role in Bichhoo, this one is a far more stylised version of a professional killer. In fact I was very excited when I saw the southern version of Ek and said yes to the role.”

Here’s good news for Prabhas fans.

The keenly awaited film of Prabhas, named as ‘Billa’ is all set to hit the silver screens on April 3.

Billa is considered to be the remake of a Tamil film under the same title.

However, some film experts do believe that the Telugu ‘Billa’ would be much more classy and impacting than that of Tamil one.

The audio release of the film starring Prabhas and Anushka was launched recently at Hyderabad.

The multiple Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire is ready to hit Chinese theatres on March 26.

Lots of films produced in the tinsel town fail to benefit from the propering Chinese cinema market due to the annual quota, and others are thrown out by the censor board.

Chinese censors are cautious of uncomplimentary delineations of the country and its public, explicit sex and aggression and receptive topics including Tibet.

However, “Slumdog Millionaire” cleared Chinese censors without problems.

During a screening session last evening, the censor board has raised finger on Deepa Mehta’s upcoming film Videsh (earlier titled Heaven on Earth).

According to reports, the board thought that the movie showcases excess aggression being shown on Preity and thus insisted on some scene cuts that would make the movie look less horrific.
