Mahie Gill To Turn Into Bikini Clad 'Mona Darling' For 'Zanjeer' Remake

Mahie Gill, who wowed the audiences with her bold and raunchy performance in Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster, has been roped in the remake of Zanjeer to reminisce Bindu's iconic character, 'Mona Darling'.
 And while Bindu sported body hugging slit-dresses in the original, Mahie will scorch the screens by slipping into a bikini and reportedly, will also do some hot love-making scenes, with Prakash Raj, who will essay the character of Teja, played by Ajit in the 1973 release.
 Gill, who will have to shed kilos to get a bikini friendly body, was initially apprehensive about the role, however on being convinced by her director she accepted the challenge.
 "I was initially apprehensive about doing the part. I wondered if I'd be able to carry it off. It was director Apoorva Lakhia who convinced me. Now I'm very excited. To recreate the original vamp 'Mona Darling' of the 1970s for today's audience is a challenge. And most of my scenes are with Prakash Raj who is a very good actor. I think I'll be able to pull it off," the Gulaal star was quoted saying.
 The makers of the film want Mahie to go beyond Bindu and to perform more 'horizontal acts' with the villain. They have even decided to do away with Bindu's cabaret and in turn will feature Mahie in a club number.
Whether Mahie will be able to pull off the role or not, well for that we'll have to wait and watch.

Madhur Bhandarkar Granted Relief In Preeti Jain Rape Case

Madhur Bhandarkar can now heave a huge sigh of relief, as the Supreme Court (SC) has stayed the criminal proceeding against the filmmaker, in Preeti Jain rape case.
 
 In July 2004, Preeti Jain, an aspiring actress, had lodged a complaint against Madhur alleging that he had raped her several times between 1999 – 2004, on the pretext of marrying her and casting her in his films.
 In her statement, Preeti had then said, "We had sex 16 times and Madhur made promises of giving me a lead role in his films. However, he didn`t offer me a lead role in any of his movies. At times when I refused, he raped me."
 A lower court found substance in Jain's complaint and asked Madhur to face trial in the case. Bhandarkar then moved the apex court challenging the court's orders. In 2011, the police too supported the director, by filing a report that the case against him was false.
 And today, SC granted him relief in the case. Reacting to the verdict, the 43-year-old filmmaker said that eight years of his life has been ruined due to the case.
 Madhur Bhandarkar, is presently busy with his opus Heroine which stars Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and Randeep Hooda in the lead roles.
