Sanjay Dutt's musical return

Sanjay Dutt's rendition of Aye Shivani in Sanjay Chhel's Khubsoorat became a popular hit.

So in Kaante, his joint production with Sanjay Gupta, the actor sang two numbers -- Chhod na and Rama re. Both were received quite well.

Now Dutt has recorded a song for the under-production Plan, directed by Gupta's former assistant Hriday Shetty. Plan features Dutt along with Dino Morea, Sanjay Suri, Bikram Saluja, Rohit Roy, Priyanka Chopra and Sameera Reddy.

Wait, that's not all. Dutt will also lend his vocal chords for Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Munna Bhai MBBS.

Incidentally, July 29 was his birthday. The actor turned 44 yesterday.

Fardeen, where art thou?

Is Fardeen Khan playing it safe or is there a dearth of good offers?

The actor is currently working on just one film, Govind Nihalani's Dev. A social drama, Dev also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Om Puri and Kareena Kapoor.

"I have worked in many films simultaneously. It has been quite testing and cumbersome at times," says the actor whose next release will be father Feroz Khan's Janasheen.

Although his last release, Bhoot, was a hit, its success didn't prove too beneficial for Fardeen, since it featured him in a guest appearance.

Apparently, the actor has now decided not to sign any film unless he is completely convinced about the script and his role.

Variety is the spice this Friday

August 1 marks the release date of not one but four films -- Hungama, Chori Chori, Oops! and Teen Deewarein.

While Hungama is a light-hearted comedy, Chori Chori oozes romance and mush. Offbeat films like Oops! and Teen Deewarein cater to a smaller audience.

Which one of these films will hit bull's eye? Find out on August 1.
