Mast Move
It's a bold move. Howard Rosemeyer, who got noticed for his choreography in Ram Gopal Varma's Mast and has put together a number for Mansoor

Khan's Josh, is now into acting. "From the moment I did my first play in school, I was hooked," he says. So he's starring in Joy Augustine's film Pagalpan. Incidentally, Rosemeyer landed Mast when he auditioned for the hero's role, and ended up impressing Varma with his dance movements. He's moved on since.

Something to talk about
"I'm not complaining," groans Martha Fiennes, 36, "but a little part of me says, 'O God, will one ever reach a stage where one is not bound to the family?'" Not in a while. The debutante director, sister of Ralph and Joseph Fiennes, was in India last week for a screening of her film Onegin, based on Alexander Pushkin's novel. Ralph starred in The English Patient and Schindler's List, Joseph in Elizabeth. Know what? Someday, they might just be known as "Martha's brothers". Ask those who've seen her film.

His Cup of Tea
Kanaboyina Sudhakar's Cup of Tea You're wrong. Clintonmania is not dead. Kanaboyina Sudhakar, 38, a car designer in Hyderabad, planned to unveil two vehicles when Bill came visiting last month: one shaped like a burger, another like a cup and saucer. He missed the deadline, so he's displaying them at a new museum of his creations in the city, since "whatever we do, we cannot forget our roots". He now plans a dinosaur-shaped car. Okay, so he missed Clinton ... it's not the end of the road for him.

That Man Salman
Black bucks or no black bucks, there's no dent in Salman Khan's arrogance. When he turned up six hours late for a press conference in Ahmedabad last week, and reporters threatened to boycott the meet, he shot back: "It makes no difference to me. I owe my success to my fans, not the press." They walked out. His fans did not. One of them, six-year-old Dolly, who had waited but failed to get an autograph, was unaffected by his true colours. "I've seen almost all his films since I began seeing films," she gushed. This Dolly has plenty of clones.
