After pairing with the top stars of Bollywood, Deepika’s decision to be Farhan’s heroine may come as a surprise.

Deepika Padukone is being sought by Excel Entertainment, the banner of Farhan Akhtar and his good friend Ritesh Sidhwani , for a movie called Kartik Calling Kartik . The film, to be directed by a first timer, will have Farhan playing the leading man.

One doesn't expect Farhan Akhtar to be portraying the role of a struggler on screen. After all he has been born to an illustrious family and has enjoyed the luxuries of life. Since he himself has never struggled to reach where he is today, how could he portray the emotions of a struggler in LUCK BY CHANCE?

"I won't say that I have never struggled. Maybe if you have read about it somewhere, it is wrong because I was perhaps misquoted. I too have had my fair share of struggle, whether it was becoming a producer, director, actor or a singer. Everyone goes through this phase, regardless of the background", says Farhan Akhtar as he gets ready for the final leg of the promotion of this Zoya Akhtar directed film which is releasing on 30th January.

Suburban Mumbaiites, look sharp the next time you hail an autorickshaw. You just might get lucky and find the driver telling you “No charge” when Zoya and Farhan Akhtar with Ritesh Sidhwani in one of their ‘Auto by Chance’ three-wheelers you reach your destination.

That’s because producers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar have introduced 10 what they call ‘Auto by Chance’ three-wheelers in the suburbs that will run from today till Friday, January 30, to promote their film Luck By Chance that is releasing that day.

Hello! It's Karthik Calling Karthik for Deepika and Farhan. The director-turned-actor-turned-singer will team up with Chandni Chowk girl Deepika Padukone for Karthik Calling Karthik to be directed by debutant Vijay Lalwani.

Farhan Akhtar’s upcoming film is ‘Luck By Chance’ and a song had to be shot on Hrithik Roshan but the shooting had to be cancelled due to heavy rain.hrithik-roshan1-199x300 The shooting of the song starrer Hrithik Roshan called off due to rain It is said that rain spoiled the whole set. The entire set began to leak and Gaffer was in trouble that this may incur short circuit. There was a black out as all the lights were off due to rain.

One look at the promos of LUCK BY CHANCE and you know for sure that it is not a frivolous film in the offering. Though the film has its song and dance routines with all the fun in the offering, LUCK BY CHANCE does seem to be carrying a much deeper meaning to it. Considering the fact that one can't be sure about what's the kind of narrative that the film has followed and its ultimate culmination, can the audience still expect a happy ending for this Zoya Akhtar directed film?

It’s a rare sight to see the awesome duo of father and son jigging to the beats of Bhangra on Farhan Akhtar’s show ‘Oye It’s Friday’. Farhan Akhtar who celebrated his 35th birthday today,on January 9, got a pleasant surprise on the sets of his show when his father Javed Akhtar dropped by to wish the sonny dear and to shake a leg as well. The programmed will be aired today.

Farhan Akhtar Unplugged would like to wish Farhan Akhtar a very happy birthday!!
