Amitabh Bachchan’s cribbing about the poor editing of Mani Ratnam’s movie Raavan, on his blog, made actor Vikram and Cinematographer Santosh Sivan jump to Ratnam’s rescue by saying, it’s a director’s prerogative to decide how the characters should be depicted. Mani Ratnam who was calm till now, couldn’t stay the same any longer has spoken his mind to a Tamil weekly.

“That is his (Amitabh’s) opinion. I am not bothered about it. And I am not here in the industry to get marks from Amitabh Bachchan. We have made a film after two years of hard work. Anyone can comment on it,” Ratnam is quoted as saying by the weekly.

Big B had written “Lot of merited film edited out, causing inconsistent performance and narrative,”.

The superstar had later clarified that he has immense respect for Ratnam.

Bipasha made it clear saying she likes to get associated with credible products that promote health and fitness and such stuff doesn’t suit her personality.

In the past too the couple was approached to endorse sex related products, but they were least interested.

Bipasha Basu is behaving like the concerned girlfriend as far as boyfriend John Abraham goes.

Bips who has a very high media profile and is good with her media manners, has realized that John could be positioned better and higher in life , if only he showed his best profile to the media.

John has undoubtedly a low media profile as he believes in the fact that action speaks louder than words. He has never been into unwanted controversies or unnecessary publicity stunts.

While girl friend Bipasha feels that, he should know how to deal with the media in the best possible manner and gives him some cool tips.

Well, the saying is so very true. ‘Behind the success of every man there is a surprised woman!’

So, guys, If John is seen going gaga over his personal or professional life, you now know who the architect is..
