I am happy that she is making her film, I am very excited about giving her ideas which would be useful,” he said. Talking about the genre of their next film, Gandhi said that he is waiting for Rao to make the formal announcement. “There is something which Kiran has in mind...it is better if we wait for her to announce it, whenever she does,” he said. In the meantime, Gandhi is also excited about his another film Tumbaad.

I became emotional after watching certain scenes of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. The film brought alive memories of the Partition when I did not have a job or enough food. I burst into tears to see my initial days on screen

High security for Cruise’s daughter

Tom Cruise pays $50,000-a-week to bodyguards to protect his seven-year-old daughter Suri. One of the Oblivion star's main reasons for hiring security is the constant paparazzi that follows Suri and his ex-wife, Katie Holmes, all the time.“Tom is always surrounded by two rings of plain clothed security agents. That goes double for his precious daughter. Katie believes money is no object when it comes to the safety of Suri and insisted Tom handle that side of things,” a source said. “She'd go broke if she had to pay for it and it's a total necessity with the enormous interest in Suri,” the source said.

“These guys are highly trained. They legally carry weapons. When in los Angeles they keep guns in the trunks of Katie's SUV limos. When in New York, they have licenses to carry firearms on their person,” the source added.
