The first look of Yellamma , marking the acting debut of music composer Devi Sri Prasad, popularly known as Rockstar DSP, was unveiled recently, immediately drawing attention across social media. Known for shaping some of Indian cinema’s most popular soundtracks, DSP now steps into a new creative phase as a lead actor. The announcement of DSP’s Pan-India acting debut had earlier generated considerable interest, and the newly released glimpse adds to that anticipation.

On January 16, Kabir Bedi turns 80. Remove twenty years from that figure and you get how he looks today! Terming a healthy outlook and lifestyle, light exercise and careful diet as his secret armamentarium in looking three-quarters his age, Kabir notes that he is as busy an actor as ever. Among the films he is doing or are on release are a biopic, USA vs. Raj , the quirky Detective Shantaram , the Italian production, Questione di Stoffa , his Kannada debut, Koragajja and a spy drama on the web— Teen Kawwe , produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur.

Aamir Khan, who will next be seen in a comic avatar in  Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos , has lost oodles of weight. “Eighteen kilos, actually,” Aamir laughed as this writer gasped. “It happened by default. The new diet I am following for health reasons is working like magic for me.” Aamir’s dietary regimen eventuated after he started getting recurring migraine headaches. “I undertook the diet for the migraines. It is an anti-inflammatory diet. I not only lost eighteen kgs, my migraines have also reduced considerably.” Aamir is all set to be seen this Friday with his nephew Imran Khan in  Happy Patel , which is a comeback of sorts for Imran. “It is not a proper comeback for Imran. Both Imran and I have cameo roles. I haven’t done too many comedy roles in my career, although people still remember Andaz Apna Apna ,” he said.
