The Bollywood strike will take place on February 23^rd for the entire day, although the strike could be extended if there’s enough support for the cause. The Film Federation of India (FFI) declared the nationwide shut down, while the industry is waiting to see if the Film Producers Guild will join the strike, which would provide a big boost to the cause.

However not everyone supports the strike, filmmaker Retan Jain is one in particular who insists that the strike will only succeed in losing money for the Indian film industry. Jain believes that the best way to tackle the central government proposal to impose another tax on movies made in India is to call a meeting with the finance ministry to address the proposal head on.

Other well known faces in Bollywood support the strike whole heartedly, including Ramesh Sippy who is calling for indefinite strike to ensure the protest does not go unnoticed. Sippy believes the tax would mean an extra burden on the Indian film industry which is already the subject of heavy taxes.

Diljit’s new single, 15 Saal, which means 15 years in Punjabi, discusses the loss of innocence in young women and how modern teenage girls are more likely than ever to grow up too quickly and get involved in drink, drugs and boys at a young age.

While Diljit fans believe the singer has a valid point to make about the way society is changing and how this is having a negative effect in young women, others believe the Punjabi singer is portraying teenage girls in a derogatory light, which has lead to the recent protest at Diljit Dosanjh’s home.

The women’s group acting under the banner, Istri Jagriti Manch, marched to the Punjabi singer’s home last month and gathered outside the property to hold a rally. The women were protesting over Diljit’s use of indecent language and remarks towards females in his music. A member of the singer songwriter’s family came out to apologise to the women’s group.

The 28-year-old’s volatile relationship with the public started last year when the singer fell on stage. The incident was recorded by a member of the audience who posted the clip online. However the situation soured after Diljit retaliated by posting a reply to the clip in his own YouTube video in which he slams the people who posted his on stage fall, verbally attacking them through a song. This caused a major backlash with new videos being posted daily blasting the singer for his actions.

As a result, the release of Diljit’s single, 15 Saal and album Urban Pendu were both cancelled. However the single was leaked online and the album has now being prepared for release later in 2012.

Have you heard the leaked single 15 Saal? Do you find the song’s message offensive or do you think Diljit has a valid point to make? Let us know your thoughts in the comments box below.

The happy couple revealed their plans to marry at the beginning of the year, sealing their engagement with a ring exchanging ceremony on Sunday. Amir presented his wife-to-be with a dazzling platinum band set with three diamonds which is believed to have cost £100,000, while 20-year-old Faryal gave the sportsman a stylish platinum ring which must have impressed the 25-year-old as he later tweeted that “loved” the ring she’d chosen for him.

It’s understood that Amir’s bride-to-be will move from her native New York to live with the boxer in his hometown of Bolton after their marriage. Faryal’s family flew over from the States especially for the engagement party and presented the couple with a luxury BMW car as a gift to mark the happy occasion.

While Farayl was born and raised in New York, much of her extended family still live in Pakistan and the student describes herself as having being brought up with traditional Pakistani values.

No wedding date has been set yet, although the big day is expected to take place in Khan’s hometown of Bolton.

Shah Rukh Khan was seen arriving at the Aurus restaurant in Mumbai late last night accompanied by three bodyguards. Eyewitnesses described SRK as looking inebriated when he arrived at the party which was hosted by Sanjay Dutt to celebrate the success of his recent movie, Agneepath.

There is some confusion over how and why the argument broke out between Shah Rukh Khan and film maker Shirish Kunder. Some reports suggest Kunder had been following the actor around all night which had annoyed SRK, while other sources have reported seeing Bollywood superstar approaching Kunder and starting a fight, believed to have been caused by a derogatory comment he made on Twitter about Shah Rukh’s movie Ra. One.

The host of the party, Sanjay Dutt and also Baba Dewan who owns the restaurant, intervened after the scrap broke out between the pair, with the two men stepping in to break SRK and Kunder apart to prevent the fight getting out of hand.

The Bollywood actor and the film maker have a difficult history as Kunder’s wife, Farah Khan, was a close friend of Shah Rukh Khan and had directed him in a number of movies including Main Hoon Wa and others. However their friendship deteriorated after Farah cast Akshay Kumar in Tees Maar Khan, it’s believed the duo no longer speak as a result.

Farah wasn’t present at the party, however she had plenty to say on the matter this morning as she issued a statement which read,

“Shah Rukh has always told me that physical abuse is the worst way to sort out a problem, and that it means the person who’s hitting has either a personal or professional crisis going on. It saddens me to see him doing the same.”

There’s been no word from Shah Rukh Khan on the matter, although Farah Khan also said that she and her husband have no intention to charges against the actor.

Jaz Dhami hasn’t released a single since last January when Tere Naal, produced by DJ Harvey, became a hit for the vocalist from Birmingham. However the rest of 2011 passed without as much as a hint of a new record from the popular singer.

That is all about to change in 2012 as Jaz Dhami has reportedly been hard at work putting in the hours on his second album which will be the follow up to his debut record, JD released in 2009. Teke Wali was one of the biggest hits to come off Jaz’s debut album and the singer will be hoping to emulate its success with the first release off what is tipped to be his next album.

There had been rumours that Jaz Dhami was working with music producer, Eren E, who is famed for producing the smash hit record, Amplifier, for Imran Khan. Jaz confirmed his involvement with the hitmaker himself by writing on Twitter recently, “Touchdown in Amsterdam, here to do some work with Eren E.”

The new track from Jaz Dhami in association with Eren E is still unnamed at present, however it’s believed to be an up-tempo club track and due for release in early 2012.

Comparisons are already being drawn between Agent Vinod and the James Bond films, with Saif Ali Khan doing little to play down the comparison by arriving at the trailer screening wearing a smart dinner jacket suit, one of the looks typically seen on James Bond in the iconic movies.

While the Bollywood heart throb conceded that comparisons between James Bond are “inevitable”, the actor stressed that Agent Vinod is a true Indian hero and that audiences will see this from the very first scene of the movie.

Agent Vinod’s leading lady, actress Kareena Kapoor, and also Saif Ali Khan’s real life girlfriend, was not present at the first showing of the movie trailer however the actor revealed the Bollywood beauty would be involved in future promotions for the film. Talking about his partner in Agent Vinod, Khan described Kareena’s role as “strong” in the movie, adding that she did the part “justice” and the film also did her justice in return.

The spy movie starring Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor had been due for release in December, however Agent Vinod is now due to be finally released in cinemas on March 23^rd.

The new single from Raghav is available to buy on iTunes and the official video has also just been released. The video starts with Raghav having an argument with a girl, however the singer switches the negative situation into a positive, turning his back on the argumentative lady and hitting the club with his friends.

The song’s message seems to be, don’t let petty things get you down, live and enjoy your life. As the title of the track suggests, if you’re on Top of the World, no one can touch you. This uplifting message is just the kind of inspiration many of us need at this time of the year, so Raghav may have another hit on his hands with this new track which cleverly taps into the mood of the nation as we look forward to what we hope to achieve in the coming 12 months.

Talking about what to expect in 2012, we wonder if Raghav will be looking to build on his Bollywood success in the next year? The vocalist broke into the world of Bollywood in 2011, releasing his first B-Town track, Hey Na Na Shabana, which proved very popular on dance floors in the run up to the New Year.
