Dharam's back!
Veteran actor Dharmendra will be seen in a pivotal role in Kalpeshwar Films' next Kaise Kahoon Ki Pyaar Hai, produced by Arjun Hingorani and directed by Anil Kumar Sharma.
The 67-year-old actor has been a regular in all Kalpeshwar Films' ventures. He was the protagonist of Kab Kyon Aur Kahan (1970), Kahani Kismat Ki (1973), Kaatilon Ke Katil (1981) and Sultanat (1986).
The film will mark the debut of Amit Hingorani (son of Arjun Hingorani). He will be cast opposite Shraboni Mukherji (Kajol and Rani Mukherji's sister), who has done many music videos and films like Border and Ansh. Sunny Deol will have a special appearance in the film.
Bhansali approaches Tata Infomedia
Sanjay Leela Bhansali has approached Tata Infomedia for Rs 750 million for his forthcoming historical love story Bajirao Mastani, starring Hrithik Roshan.
Tata Infomedia has also financially assisted Vikram Bhatt's Aitbaar, co-produced by Jatin Kumar and starring Amitabh Bachchan, John Abraham and Bipasha Basu.
Earlier, Aitbaar was stalled when the financier backed out. Tata Infomedia then stepped in. The company has made a foray into motion picture production with the launch of its new division Cutting Edge Entertainment.
Neha's mucky experience
While shooting for her debut film, Harry Baweja's Qayamat, former Miss India Neha Dhupia had an unforgettable experience. The shot required Neha to come out of a murky pool of water for a dance number. Neha refused. Her costar Ajay Devgan and Baweja tried their best to cajole her, but failed.
The next moment found Neha in the pool. Ajay and Harry had given her a mighty shove. Trial by water, indeed.
Jessae will act, after all
Not so long ago, model Jessae Randhawa claimed films were a definite no for her. She wanted to get involved in the health business and start a fitness centre.
Today, she has signed Chot, directed by Nabh Kumar Raju (former assistant of Sooraj Barjatya and director of Hum Tum Pe Marte Hain, starring Govinda and Urmila Matondkar) and produced by Sanjay Thakur (Dal -- The Gang). Her costars are Ashutosh Rana, Sharad Kapoor, Nethra Raghuraman and newcomer Rohit Nayyar.
Chot speaks about the conflict between two rival groups headed by Ashutosh and Sharad. The screenplay and dialogues are written by Atul Tiwari (who penned Mission Kashmir). Jessae and Rohit provide the romantic angle.
