Mallika and the rumors!

The quintessential item girl aka JAlebi bai takes Rs 75 lakh from the Azaan actor and ignores his pleas to return the money. But she has a different story to tell…
We are tired of publishing negative stories about Mallika Sherawat but the Hisss actor seems unwilling to stop scaling the heights of histrionics and unprofessional behaviour. And the latest to bear the brunt of Mallika’s erratic mood swings is Sachin Joshi. The Azaan actor, we hear, wanted to make a film with Mallika. The film was titled Mumbai Mirror and the leggy lass had agreed to be part of the venture. She signed on the dotted line and had even taken Rs 75 lakh as a signing amount.
Apparently everything was hunky-dory between the young producer and the sizzling babe before Mallika’s ever-swinging mood changed! Just two days before the shoot started, Mallika came up with unreasonable demands. She asserted that she wanted to be the hero of the movie and wasn’t particularly happy with her role. Left with no option but to find a replacement for Mallika, Joshi found a new actor called Vimla Raman for his film.
A little birdie tells us that when Sachin tried to contact Mallika to return his Rs 75 lakh, she completely ignored his repeated pleas. In fact, the Murder star was happily preening and blowing kisses on the red carpet in Cannes.We hear that Joshi is about to approach the Producers Guild of India and file an official complaint against Mallika now. We hope Sachin’s legal action will change Ms Sherawat’s tune and good sense will prevail in her whimsical head. Till it does, producers need to think twice before having this Haryanvi babe on board.But then comes a twist in this sordid tale. We hear now that Mallika is fabulously furious with Sachiin Joshi for spreading stories about her greedy and unprofessional behaviour, especially after he was the one who tom-tommed it all over town that the lady had loved his script and was eager to do the film. Our buddy the birdie tells us that Mallika was majorly shocked to hear the stories, since she had just about met Sachiin and heard the synopsis of the film; she had not agreed to do it, but had asked for a complete script.
Now who is cooking up what stories about whom, we cannot tell without knowing more from Mallika and Sachiin alike, but as soon as we do, you will be told!

Neha Dupia in Karan Johar’s film.

Actress Neha Dhupia is all set to share screen space with Emraan Hashmi in Karan Johar’s next home production to be directed by Rensil D’Silva . “Yes, I have been signed for this film. I can’t talk much about it. There are other two films of mine that are coming out- Maximum and Rush,” said Dhupia.
The film will also star Sanjay Dutt, Kangana Ranuat, Randeep Hooda and is likely to roll out later this year.
Earlier, Karan had said, “The film has a strong ensemble cast, like Emraan, lots of people are there in it like Kangana, Randeep Hooda and host of young brilliant actors. We will announce the film with title and cast very soon. It is about individual paths, there is no predominant love story. It is too early to talk about it.”

‘Zanjeer’ remake, First Look!

South actor Ram Charan Teja is all set to step into Amitabh Bachchan’s shoes, as the angry young man Inspector Vijay, on in the ‘Zanjeer’ remake.
Here is the first look of the actor.
The film is directed by Apoorva Lakhia, who shot to fame with Shootout At Lokhandwala, and will have Priyanka Chopra step into the shoes of Jaya Bachchan.
Says Ram, “Zanjeer is a tribute to Mr. Bachchan and my father (actor Chiranjeevi).”
Amitabh Bachchan posted on his blog, “I do hope they will make a successful film. It is a compliment to the film being remade it was worthy of remaking when you had a hand in making the original. How many films do carry the benefit of a remake, is what needs to be appreciated also.”
Till date, just forty percent of the film is complete.
