NEW DELHI: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan was on Thursday night discharged from hospital after a 12-day stay post his abdominal surgery.
“The actor is doing much better now following which he has been discharged,” a hospital source told PTI.

Last night, Big B had tweeted, “Freedom !!! free from central line, free from all kites, free to sleep without precaution… Now await to be free from hospital !!.”

Bachchan, who has a history of stomach ailments, was operated on February 11 at the Seven Hills hospital.

He had complained of acute abdominal pain and there were chances of him undergoing a second operation. But later it was decided by the doctors that another surgery was not required as the 69-year-old actor was getting better.

Clooney, Pitt, Dujardin: It’s an Oscar charm offensive

LOS ANGELES: Hollywood glamour meets French chic in a battle of charm for Oscar’s best actor accolade on Sunday that pits George Clooney and close friend Brad Pitt against dashing Jean Dujardin.Clooney, 50, beloved by his peers and regarded as the most eligible bachelor in the world, is thought to have the edge for his performance as a back-up dad forced to pull his family together in the emotional drama “The Descendants”.

But don’t count out Dujardin, the French star of silent movie “The Artist”, who has happily been spoofing himself and his Hollywood newcomer status on U.S. sketch show “Saturday Night Live” and comedy video website Funny or Die.

“Clooney is in top form and this film, most people felt was the performance of his career,” said Tom O’Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, noting that Clooney had been campaigning hard in the run-up to the February 26 Academy Awards ceremony.

Clooney won the Golden Globe last month, and has an Oscar under his belt for his supporting role in the 2005 film “Syriana”.

But that could work against him. “It’s still fresh in people’s minds and he’s relatively young and still has a career ahead of him. People remember that, and they rarely give Oscars in quick succession,” said Stephen Galloway, executive editor of features at industry publication The Hollywood Reporter.

Dujardin, 39, has the opposite problem. A household name in France but unknown in Hollywood, Dujardin utters just two words as silent movie icon George Valentin, who refuses to embrace the talkies in “The Artist.”

Nevertheless, he has won a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award for the role and has been the face of “The Artist”s Oscar campaign. If he wins on Sunday, Dujardin would be the first French-born actor to win the Oscar for a lead role.

“This is one of those rare situations where the performance is as good as movie, or maybe even carried the movie, but we don’t know if that’s just the way Jean is and this is the one performance he can give,” said Galloway.

ONE HIT WONDER?

Dujardin rose to fame in France as a comic actor, starring in the television series “A Guy and a Girl,” and the 2005 spoof surfer movie, “Brice de Nice” in which he played a dead-beat surfer obsessed with the late Patrick Swayze’s character Bodhi in “Point Break.”

But some industry-watchers feel he may be too green for the best actor award, and the memory of Italian actor Roberto Benigni, who charmed Americans in 1999 for “Life is Beautiful” and promptly went back to work in Italy, is still fresh.

“Jean Dujardin is part of the crazy moment that ‘The Artist’ has, but is he the Roberto Benigni type? He has his one big year and is honored for it, but that’s the last we hear from him?” said Yahoo! Movies executive producer Sean Phillips.

British actor Gary Oldman, star of thriller “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”, and Mexico’s Demian Bichir, recognized for playing a Los Angeles gardener in an immigration battle in “A Better Life”, are regarded as having only outside chances of taking the Oscar home.

And Pitt, who won over audiences with his performance as baseball manager Billy Beane in “Moneyball”, may have to wait his turn.

Pitt, 48, is yet to win an Oscar and has only been nominated twice before during a prolific film career that started with him being perceived as a “bit of a rascal”, according to O’Neil.

“There’s a feeling there for Pitt that he’s way overdue and that this movie needs some awards love,” said O’Neil.

“Now he’s settled down with Angelina (Jolie) and had kids…and there’s a feeling that he’s adored as a star that matters…an Oscar would be the perfect timing right now.”

Pitt also starred in Terrence Malick’s mystical “The Tree of Life”, which won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, and is among the Academy Award best picture nominees.

But Galloway feels Pitt is still too young for the award, despite his body of work.

“He looks younger than he is, he doesn’t look like a veteran, and also, he hasn’t yet done a body of work that is so significant, although he is putting that together. “Moneyball” will help consolidate that,” said Galloway. (Reuters)

Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan says brawl was self-defence

MUMBAI: Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan on Thursday denied starting a fight in which he is accused of breaking a man’s nose at a luxury hotel in Mumbai, saying he was acting in self-defence.Khan said the brawl began when his girlfriend, actress Kareena Kapoor, and other companions were verbally abused by fellow diners at the Wasabi Japanese restaurant in the Taj Mahal Palace hotel.

“There was an ugly incident where my friends and the ladies with us were abused and I was assaulted,” Khan said. “I was hit and I defended myself,” he added.

Khan, who surrendered to police and was released on bail Wednesday, is accused by South African businessman Iqbal Meer Sharma of pushing him and breaking his nose.

Police said Sharma claimed he was punched in the face after a “heated argument” with the actor over allegedly “rowdy and raucous” behaviour by Khan and his friends.

“I have been to the police to answer the requirements of law as I am a law-abiding citizen,” Khan said in the email.

“I have seen Sharma’s interviews on TV. They look like decent people. I cannot believe how aggressive they were on that night and the lies they are telling about me with such straight faces,” he added.

The actor was apologetic about the dispute saying that “it could have been handled differently.”

“I should have set a better example. I’m sorry that I reacted this way,” he told reporters.

Khan, who attended a press conference on Thursday to promote a local hockey league, said “I am better now” pointing to swelling above his eye.

“I have faith in the law of court and they will be the best to decide about this case,” he said.

Khan, who has filed a return complaint alleging Sharma started the incident, is one of Bollywood’s biggest actors, with hits including “Dil Chahta Hai” (Do Your Thing) in 2001 and “Omkara” in 2006.

Khan is also a film producer and has recently been putting final touches to his spy-thriller “Agent Vinod”, which is set for release next month.

He became the new Nawab (Muslim prince) of the former princely state of Pataudi last year after the death of his famous cricketing father Mansur Ali Khan, better known as “Tiger Pataudi”. (AFP)

After failing miserably on the romantic front, now Katrina has decided to stay away from the industry as far as matters of the heart are concerned.

If reports are to be believed, Katrina is ready to settle in for an arranged marriage and has asked her mum to look for a suitable groom for her.
