London, March 30 (IANS) Bollywood heartthrob Arjun Rampal has three films lined up for release this year and the National award winning actor says he is having “jitters” as the release dates are getting closer.
“Beginning to get the jitters as films are getting closer to release… always happens,” the 37-year-old posted on his Twitter account.

“‘Housefull’ will be the first one on April 30, followed by ‘Raajneeti’ on June 4. I know there is time but still get these pangs of anxiety… it reminds me of days when exam result day would near,” Arjun posted on his Twitter account.

His third release is Karan Johar’s yet-to-be titled film, which is an adaptation of Chris Columbus’ 1998 comedy drama “Stepmom”.

“‘Stepmom’ will be released some time in August or September… looking forward to all three, all very different from each other, (I) had a great time making them,” he said.

While “Housefull” is a comedy directed by Sajid Khan and also stars Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, and Ritesh Deshmukh, “Raajneeti” is a political thriller written, directed, and produced by Prakash Jha. It also stars Ajay Devgn, Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor.

In the “Stepmom” remake, Arjun has teamed up with Kajol and Kareena Kapoor.

Why Aarya Babbar got embarrassed on ‘Tees Maar Khan’ sets?

Bollywood actor Aarya Babbar, who is currently shooting for Farah Khan’s “Tees Maar Khan”, was so excited on the first day of shoot that he performed an entire scene without even any instruction from the director.

Aarya had a scene with 40 villagers, but he was so excited to be shooting with Khan that he started performing even before she could say action.

“I was very excited to give my first shot for Farah. My scene went off great and everyone clapped and I had a sigh of relief that it was a good start… then I saw Farah walking towards me and she said ‘I didn’t even say action, sweetheart!’

“In my excitement, I didn’t even realise if Farah said action or not. I was so embarrassed,” said the actor.

Aarya has been part of films like “Guru” and “Jail”, among others.
