Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is set to share screen space with Oscar-winning actor Ben Kingsley in Leena Yadav's ambitious 'Teen Patti'.

Ambitious because her last so called ‘intelligent’ movie ‘Shabd’ didn’t do well at all

'Teen Patti' is inspired by the Hollywood flick ‘21’ where a professor played by Bachchan tutors five of his brightest proteges, played by R. Madhavan and newcomers Siddharth Kher, Dhruv Ganesh, Vaibhav Talwar and Shraddha Kapoor for high stake gambling, but with a cause.

Ace Bollywood stars seem to have crushed the economic slump in order to register handsome growth in their advance tax payments.

The latest list not only showed the top ten Bollywood earners pay 17.7% more in taxes as against the last year’s figures, but the industry has thrown up a new 'Hero No 1'.
 
Multi-talented actor Akshay Kumar has topped the list of income tax payers in the Bollywood industry.

Big B’s ain’t moving out of aamchi Mumbai.

Actually it’s his wax figure that’s shifting from Madame Tussaud’s in London . It's going to the Hong Kong branch of the organisation for five months. This will make him the first Bollywood star to appear there.

Interestingly the only other Indian figure in Hong Kong at the moment is Mahatma Gandhi.

Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan will be seen sharing screen with Hollywood actor Richard Gere.

Gere, favourite lover boy of the late 80's and early 90's, will make his Bollywood debut with Bib B in Ambika Hinduja’s long awaited Teen Patti, which is all set to be a star-studded affair.

Last week Bollywood has been into speculation with news that Amitabh Bachchan was all set to launch his own news channel, INDIA 24/7. But the shahenshah has now clarified that INDIA 24/7 isn't name for any news channel but instead it's the film's title which he is doing with Ram Gopal Verma. The flick was previously titled Rann.

"The title is no longer `RANN', as in a battle or a war, but `INDIA 24/7?. And ever since I have been reporting on set, the media laugh riot has been in unabated operation," says Bachchan.

Big B aka the Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan is all set to add another feather to his cap.

The big news doing the rounds is that Big B is going to launch his own news channel by the name India 24/7.

Confirming the development, a source close to the superstar said, “Apparently, Amitabh Bachchan is starting a news channel called India 24/7 and the preparations for starting it, is on in full swing. It is being planned in collaboration with a big corporate house. Of course, right now nobody wants to confirm anything and everything is hush-hush."
