Om Shanti Om is believed to be the most hyped film of the year. It’s but obvious considering that Farah has managed to rope in 31 of the biggest Bollywood stars for an item number in the film. Deepika Padukone, Arjun Rampal, Shreyas Talpade and Farah Khan were seen talking about the much talked about seventies’ look in the film.
Farah says, “The look is of the seventies and was the most stylish era in Bollywood. Let’s hope the retro styles, the big collars, and the bell bottom pants make a comeback.”
The association of the film with the Style Awards just reinstates the style quotient of the film. About the style factor of the film, Deepika says, “Apart from the clothes, the movie itself has the look of the seventies. Farah has used colours accordingly. Then there is Shahrukh’s six pack abs to look out for.”

Well, with Saawariya also releasing on the same day as Om Shanti Om, wonder what the audience will fall for?

The Shahid-Kareena break-up has been the talk of the town since forever. Apparently, even before Saif Ali Khan walked into the picture, there were signs of a break up. The demure looking lady, Amrita Rao seems to have encouraged the falling out.
While shooting for Vivaah, the proximity between Amrita and Shahid grew. Once, during the shooting of Vivaah, Kareena went to the sets unannounced and saw Amrita stepping out of Shahid’s make-up van. As if that wasn’t enough, Kareena’s doubts got aggravated by the fact that Amrita has moved her residence closer to Shahid’s place.
Though, Shahid and Kareena refuted all allegations, the events culminated at a friend’s place where they had a showdown. Then stepped in, the Chotey Nawaab of Bollywood, Saif. Kareena and Saif didn’t get done with all the denials, till Kareena’s birthday came up and Shahid was conspicuous by his absence. No prizes for guessing who was by her side then.Moreover, when Kareena and Shahid met at the sets of Jab We Met to get done with some scenes, the two refused to even share the make up van, as they used to. Well, seems like even they are bored with the façade of still being a couple.
