The much-hyped wedding will be a private affair to be attended by the families of the couple but the events leading up to it is going to be interesting. A mehendi cum pre-wedding bash will be organised for the friends of the couple at the Malik’s farmhouse in Karjat, Mumbai. Then the registered marriage will take place at Imran’s house, which will be followed by a dinner at Taj Lands End.

Bollywood heartthrob Imran Khan is all set to marry his long-time girlfriend Avantika Malik. The big day is scheduled on 10th January and the pre-wedding party will be held on 8th January. The pre-wedding rather mehndi party is believed to be attended by a vast number of guests. Imran Khan is reportedly too selective in this regard. The insiders report that the leading ladies of the Bollywood, with whom Imran was paired in the films, are said to have been invited.
The attendance of Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Genelia D’Souza at the event is established. However, few other stars namely Sonam Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, etc., are believably skipping the celebration owing to their hectic schedules.

Deepika Padukone features on the cover of Filmfare Magazine for the month of November 2010. Deepika Padukone poses with Imran Khan – Her co star for the upcoming movie Brake Ke Baad.

Yes, this is true that Imran Khan and Ranbir Kapoor lip-locked twice on Karan Johar’s talk show, ‘Koffee with Karan’. They smooched each other not for enjoyment but for a cause. They wished to bag role in Karan Johar’s ‘Dostana 2’. They did so to impress the filmmaker.

A source who was present during filming says, "They were a riot on the show.
They were all over each other and if they have a problem, it didn’t show. To convince Johar that they would be just as compatible on screen, they ended up kissing twice!
Karan was totally taken aback by their madness. After they kissed the first time, the host asked them to do it again as they returned from a commercial break.
Without hesitation, they embraced each other and broke into another kiss!"
It was heard in the past that Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan were at loggerheads but no such ill-feeling were seen between them. They were more than good friends.

Says a source, "It didn’t seem like there was any rivalry between the two. Ranbir graciously adjusted his dates for Imran. They were seen joking and having a long conversation before the shoot."
Well, there is a bright chance that Ranbir and Imran will replace John and Abhishek in Dostana sequel.

Imran Khan got engaged to his long time sweetheart, Avantika Malik on January 11 this year. Now, the star is all set to take the wedding vows with his fiancée on January 8, 2011. The families have started sending out the invitations.
A source tells a tabloid, Though it is exactly two months away, the preparations are in full swing. Those on the guest list were sent SMSes or told on the phone to keep themselves free on January 8 from 5 pm to 5am. The message stated that a formal invite the wedding card would follow later.

One of the hottest and talented young actors in Bollywood, Imran Khan has finally signed his first movie under the reputed Yash Raj banner.

After romancing the bubbly Sonam Kapoor in I Hate Luv Storys, Imran will woo the sexy Katrina in his next yet untitled movie under Yash Raj Production. Katrina and Imran cast together will scorch the screen for the first time. The pair is expected to be hot and a hit with the audience.

Confirming the news, Imran said, “I am very happy to bag this film as it has given me the opportunity to work with Yash Raj Films. I admire Aditya and love his working style. The way the script was visualized by Ali is simply beyond expression.”

Set to be directed by debutant Ali Abbas Zafar, the movie will be a romantic comedy. Zafar has worked before in Yashraj Films like New York, Badmaash Company, Tashan and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.

Aditya Chopra will be producing the movie. Shooting for the movie will kick off in the mid-September.

Actress Deepika Padukone, who’s making news for her split with Ranbir Kapoor, is taking on more work to focus on her film career. Now, according to latest reports Deepika has signed a film opposite Imran Khan which will be produced by Kunal Kohli in association with Big Pictures.

The film will be directed by one of Kunal Kohli’s close associate and is expected to go on the floors by early next year. What is interesting is that despite the fact that Imran Khan is Ranbir’s best buddy, Deepika chose to do this film, making it clear that she does not wish to mix her personal and professional life.
With Deepika taking on more assignments by the day, looks like her professional life is becoming a new comfort zone for her.

The entire cine goers clan, the Bollywood fraternity along with Kamal Hassan wait with baited breath as newbie Shruti Hassan makes her grand debut with ‘Luck’ opposite Imran Khan. The on-screen chemistry between the couple as seen in the trailers and in the promotional events looks promising. Also, Shruti get to show some of her versatility as she does some karate and martial arts rounds in the flick with veterans like Sanjay Dutt and Danny Denzongpa.

What do Aamir Khan and Imran Khan have in common apart from their bloodline? The younger Khan says that like his uncle he too is a perfectionist.

“Aamir is one of India’s finest actors. Though he doesn’t agree that he is a perfectionist, he just likes to work hard… it is a good thing. Even I like working hard, so I’m a lot like him professionally,” Imran told IANS in an interview.

“I feel that if I am putting my name, face, energy, talent and time into something – it should turn out to be the best. If I’m associated with something – be it a film or an event, I like to do whatever I can to make it a success. At the end of the day, everyone should strive for perfection,” he added.

At 26, Imran is quite a mature decision maker considering his criteria for choosing his films.

“I don’t go by banners. I go by what interests me and appeals to me. At times it’s the script itself. I chose ‘Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na’ for its simple, cute, romantic and comic feel. Then I chose ‘Kidnap’ for its action. Now I have done ‘Luck’ after which I’m doing a romantic comedy again to break the monotony. So whatever excites me, I do it,” he said.

In “Luck”, Imran has performed death-defying stunts and has starred opposite his childhood friend, Shruthi Haasan who is making her Bollywood debut with the movie. Releasing July 24, the action-thriller also stars Sanjay Dutt, Mithun Chakraborty and Ravi Kissen, apart from others.

It was Imran only who suggested Shruthi’s name for the female lead to director Soham Shah.

“I’ve known Shruthi since we were 10 years old. We have grown up together and know each other way too well. Soham was very sure he wanted a new girl for ‘Luck’. And since I had seen a lot of girls during the screen tests for ‘Jaane Tu…’, I told him — ‘Dude, you’re going to have a tough time finding one.’

“He also wanted someone who could do her own stunts. I just thought of Shruthi not knowing if she wanted to act or not. But then she came down to Mumbai and it worked,” he narrated.

According to Imran, Shruthi is “quite serious about her work”.

“Shruthi used to enter the sets with a serious look on her face. She is very serious about her work. But so am I. At times it was hard to act opposite her because she knows me inside out,” he said.

After “Luck”, Imran will be seen in “Delhi Belly” and “Seven Days in Paris”. He has also signed up for Dharma Productions’ “I Don’t Believe In Love Stories”, in which he will share screen space with Sonam Kapoor.

He is the latest heartthrob in tinsel town and there are many actresses who would love to be paired opposite him. But the two-film-old Imran Khan would rather share screen space with Kareena Kapoor than Aishwarya Rai.

“No,” said Imran when asked whether he is keen to work with former beauty queen-turned-actress Aishwarya. “I’m most keen to work with Kareena. Both of us shot for a chat show last week and I had great fun,” Imran said on Thursday.

Dressed in a casual blue T-shirt and a tattered and torn pair of blue jeans, Imran was at his wittiest and generous best at an event for a radio channel.

Imran, who also promoting his upcoming film Luck, not only hugged young girls but also 50 plus women when they screamed out his name in excitement and cheered every time he smiled for the shutterbugs.

He even sang few lines of the hit song Kabhi kabhi Aditi… from his debut film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and did a jig on the song Pappu can’t dance… from the same movie on a special request by his young female fans.

Though, Imran looked little embarrassed due to all the attention he was getting, he loved every bit of his interaction with the fans.

“I always love meeting my audiences and fans face-to-face and I love interacting with them at live events,” Imran said..

Luck, which releases on July 24, also stars Imran’s childhood friend Shruthi Haasan who is debuting with the film.

Apart from them, the action thriller, directed by Soham Shah of Kaal fame, has Sanjay Dutt, Mithun Chakraborty and Ravi Kissen.
