Unlike her latest Telugu release Anaganaga O Dheerudu, which got lukewarm response at the box office, her new Hindi movie Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji (released on January 26) is getting positive responses from the audience and critics alike.

But Shruti Haasan is not happy! Why? The singer-actress felt that her scenes in the film were cut short considerably and her role did not turn out be as nifty as she expected. So it is heard that the actress is showing no interest in promoting Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji.

Shruti, who plays an industrialist’s daughter Niki who is keen on bettering society through social work, appears in the film halfway through, just before the interval. Almost till the interval, the audience wonders if Shruti is part of the cast or not! On the other hand, Tisca Chopra, who essays the role of her stepmother, is there throughout the film.

Meanwhile, her spokesperson said: "Shruti’s Tamil film opposite Suriya demanded all of her dates from December-end to February first week. She has been shooting in Chennai and overseas. As a result, she couldn’t promote the movie as much as she would’ve wanted to. She was looking forward to promoting the film but was really upset that the promotional dates clashed with her Tamil movie schedule."

Sonakshi Sinha is on a rigorous exercise regime to drop weight for her upcoming roles in Joker and Race 2.

The actress, who had been quite chubby, reduced her weight for her debut film Dabangg. This was as advised by Salman Khan, whom the actress considers her mentor.

Sonakshi, realising that she now needs to look even slimmer, has hit the gym and has been working out without a break.

It is reported that Sonakshi will be replacing Bipasha Basu in the sequel of Race. Bipasha had a glamorous role in Race, but Sonakshi’s earlier statements that she wouldn’t take up steamy scenes have made viewers wonder how would Sonakshi be a replacement for Basu? Will the role be changed for Sonkshi or will she reverse her statements? We are yet to see.

Dhoom, India’s version of hi-octane thriller films, is one of the most successful series in Bollywood. The much talked about third part of Dhoom has finally got the booster shot it needed. It is now official: Aamir Khan will be playing the villain in Dhoom 3.

Confirming this, Aamir says, "It is indeed a pleasure to be working with Yashji and Adi once again. Dhoom is a great franchise, most entertaining and full of fun. Every time I hear the theme tune of Dhoom, it brings a swing to my step. Victor’s script really won me over and I look forward to working with him."

Says producer Yash Chopra, "It’s a great pleasure to have Aamir working with YRF once again. It’s even more special that he will be doing Dhoom 3. I am terribly excited with what an actor like Aamir will bring to the Dhoom franchise with his unique star power and level of performance. Adi and Victor have worked over a year to bring out what I can now confidently say is possibly one of the best scripts coming out of YRF. I am sure that Aamir and Adi together will create magic to give our audience one of the most exciting films ever seen."

Coming to the rest of the cast, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra will be seen in their previous avatars of Jai Dixit and Ali respectively. Produced by Aditya Chopra, Dhoom 3 will be directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya. Vijay is the writer of all three Dhoom films and has also directed Tashan. The film will begin shooting end of this year and is slated for a 2012 Christmas release.
