Family of a man employed with Bollywood actor Asin has alleged that he has gone 'missing' because of abuse by the actor. Asin has denied the charge. "The concerned person N. Muthu Kumar has left my employment and we informed the police immediately. Other accusations are false," the actress said in a statement Thursday.According to S. Vadivu, her son Kumar was employed with Asin for four years."I am worried as Asin's father Joseph said that Kumar was sacked after he joined the Mumbai underworld several days ago. While my search in Mumbai was fruitless, the facts do not add up because Kumar told me over phone sometime back that he was likely to quit after the actress abused him over his physical handicap," Vadivu told. Asin is currently shooting for "London Dreams" as the female lead with Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan.

And now we have heard that Chunky has just signed for Anubhav Sinha's film “Sankat City” that requires him to play a double role. Chunky had played a double role in David Dhawan's Aankhen. That film had set the screen on fire. Will Anubhav's film create the same magic? You never know in Bollywood that is as unpredictable as the weather.

Akriti Kakar is riding high on the success of her new solo song, Mohabbat Aapse from Aa Dekhen Zara, which is currently burning the airwaves.  Considering the success of all her previous songs (right from Dil Vich lagya Ve to Khuda Ya Kher) that also had other popular singers like Sunidhi Chuhan, Shankar Mahadevan, this one is certainly special for her. Akriti shares, “I’m very upbeat about this song in particular, as I have sung it in my style with a lot of personal touch. It’s an emotional track featured on Bipasha Basu in the movie. I guess for every artist it’s very important to sing in a way that the listener can connect to the song and have a feeling of owning the song.”

The posters and promos of "Barah Aana" may call it "a comedy of real life" but actor Naseeruddin Shah insists it is not a comic film but an example of "responsible" cinema."I will not say that it is a comedy film, it is very serious film and an example of responsible cinema," Shah said. According to the actor, those films come in the "responsible" cinema category which "do not aim at multiplying investment, do not go with a tried-and-tested formula and which try to present an accurate picture. “Barah Aana" is a story about three friends -- a driver played by Naseeruddin, watchman (Vijay Raaz) and waiter (Arjun Mathur who was last seen in "Luck by Chance").
