Director Neeraj Pandey, of 'Special 26' fame, has changed the title of his upcoming production venture from 'Aman ki Asha' to 'Total Siyappa'.
	The makers felt the title 'Aman ki Asha' was communicating a different feel while it is a fun film. It will now be called 'Total Siyappa', which means total chaos.
	"We had earlier called the film 'Aman ki Asha' as the boy's name is Aman and girl's name is Asha. But the film is more than that. So, we have now changed it to a Punjabi title, 'Total Siyappa'," Pandey said.
	The film is set in London and has a hilarious take on how a Pakistani Punjabi boy goes to meet the girl's Indian Punjabi family and the chaos that follows.
	'Shool' fame director E Niwas will direct the film, which stars Ali Zafar and Yami Gautam. It is set to hit screens on January 31.

	The 23-year-old actress who plays the female lead, Katniss Everdeen, in 'The Hunger Games', admires her alter-ego's characteristics, reported E!Online.

	"I think Katniss is a great role model, she's strong and she's not afraid to say what's right even when it is scary," she added.

Emma Thompson has made her peace with Helena Bonham Carter whose alleged affair with Kenneth Branagh is widely believed to be the reason behind Thompson's divorce from the actor in 1995.
	Speaking about the affair for the first time, Thompson said she and Bonham Carter shared many personality traits which may be why her ex-husband fell for both the women.
	"That is - as Mike Nicholls (the film and theatre director) once said, and I've picked it up because I think it's such a wonderful phrase - all blood under the bridge. You can't hold on to anything like that," Thompson told the Sunday Times.
	"It's pointless. I haven't got the energy for it. Helena and I made our peace years and years ago."
	Thompson, 54, has spoken about how her divorce pushed her into depression.
