Minissha turns on the heat with her bikini

Minissha's yo-yoing weight is definitely favouring her right now. She rocks her hot-bod in an itsy-bitsy two piece on the cover of Man's World. She captions her Twitpic: My cover of Man's World is out.. The most fun I've had on a shoot.. Thank u team of MW n CJ!

Minissha's upcoming movies include Shirish Kunder's Joker, in which she is starred opposite Shreyas Talpade.

Sonakshi overtakes Munni and Sheila..

Sonakshi Sinha gets the village excited and drooling as she cavorts bare back in a gypsy outfit in a new still from the film Joker just released by director Shirish Kunder.

A youngster in the audience misses it all, as Vindu Singh covers his eyes with his hand, finding Sonakshi's jhatak – lapak too sensuous for the boy's tender age.

The still shows Sonakshi dancing to the lusty beats of the song - Dance Karle English Mein - choreographed by Farah Khan.

Sonakshi's exotic looks and Farah's deft choreography. OMG! This one is going to be more potent than anything that we have seen!

The song, set in a village, was shot in Chandigarh during the film's first schedule.

Sonakshi had shared her excitement over the dance number while shooting for the film in Chandigarh.

"I'm finally going to dance in Joker. I wouldn't call it an item song because I'm the film's heroine and item songs are performed by guest artists. But, I know it will be well shot and lavish and aesthetic because it's being choreographed by Farah Khan," Sonakshi had told TOI.

Earlier in February, there was talk of a top actress joining Sonakshi in the dance number.

"Well, a top actress will be joining me. That's all I can say at the moment," Sonakshi had said, refusing to give details.

"This is a special song in the film as it has lyrics in ten languages. We had a ball shooting for it. Also, Sonakshi was a revelation. From being someone coy in Dabangg, it was a welcome change for her too to show a different side of her persona," Shirish commented.

Sunglasses in Joker inspired by Dabangg

Like Dabangg, even Joker has a rural setup and the cast will be sporting stylish glares.

While Salman Khan has denied rumours that he will be doing an item song in Joker , it still seems like he is inspiring the team of the film. There is buzz that director Shirish Kunder is intentionally taking references from Salman Khan's last year's superhit Dabangg for his film Joker .

"Like Dabangg , even Joker has a rural backdrop", says a source. "Shirish Kunder has shot the film in a village setup close to Chandigarh. Perhaps masses relate more to such film setting".

Other than that, another common element between both films is the style statement. "The hep sunglasses that Salman sported in Dabangg became a rage. Sonakshi Sinha seems to have taken forward the sunglass legacy from Dabangg to Joker and is sporting the same kind of glares in her second film. Akshay Kumar also follows suit".

Its no 'joke' that ' Dabangg ' has become quite a trendsetter!

No Salman in Joker

Buzz was in the air that Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif will be seen together in a dance sequence in Akshay Kumar-Sonakshi Sinha starrer “Joker”.

This specially choreographed dance will feature Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif along with the lead stars of the film. This is for the very first time that two Bollywood superstars have been roped in for an item number.

A source stated “What further makes it interesting is the fact that this couple is none other than Salman and Katrina.”

The source said further, “The world has been speculating around whether they can see eye to eye or not but the fact is that they are quite decent with each other.

The source said, “They share a very cordial relationship and since Katrina is quite close to Salman’s family, there will never be any awkward moments between the two.”

But there comes a twist. Sources now state that this was just a rumor and that Katrina will not dance with Salman.

A source stated “Since Farah is close to both Katrina and Salman, people are assuming that she’ll approach the two for a song. Nothing has come forth yet. As of the moment, Katrina isn’t dancing with Salman to any number in ‘Joker’.”

No item song for Sallu and Kat together

Rebuffing all the speculations regarding her item song with Salman Khan in Shirish Kunder’s 3D film ‘Joker’, the ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’ lasso Katrina Kaif clarified that she will not be performing any dance number with the ‘Dabangg’ Khan.

Grapevine had it that Katrina and Salman will be performing a cameo in an item track from the film.

Though Salman might act in this Akshay-Sonakshi starrer film due to his fondness for 3D films, there are no confirmations of Katrina performing in the film.

"It is untrue that I am doing a song with Salman in Joker. There have been no such talks,” said Katrina Kaif.

Speculations regarding the duo performing together began as Katrina Kaif was the female lead in Farah Khan’s ‘Tees Maar Khan’, in which Salman Khan had danced on a rocking track ‘Wallah Re Wallah’.

A source close to the actress told TOI, “Since Farah is close to both Katrina and Salman, people are assuming that she'll approach the two for a song. Nothing has come forth yet. As of the moment, Katrina isn't dancing with Salman to any number in 'Joker'."

Shirish’s ‘Joker’ has been hogging the limelight since its first schedule, which began on Feb. 14, in Chandigarh for the fun and entertainment on the sets.

The first schedule of the film, which turned out be excellent according to Shirish, got accomplished few days ago.
