John Abraham miffed: I didn't cast her out

One year long separation, as in Bipasha's horror movies, the ghost still haunts her and she is still said be suffering from the doings of John Abraham, atleast that is what Bipasha thinks. The latest story comes from the sets of 'Shootout at Wadala' where the rumor is that John had asked Sanjay Gupta to remove Bipasha from the movie. But on the other hand, both producer and the director has come forward to express that they had never planned of grabbing in Bipasha for the role. The truth still hides somewhere!

Bipasha and John Abraham was one couple which had envied many, for the fact that both were hot rolemodels or rather sex symbols for many. The duo had been quite good to each other and professional as well. But somethings did not work out good and it was Bipasha Basu who announced that they were no longer together. It has been an year since this happened and although John had not spoken much about this issue and had also waited for her to return back, it never happened and it seems that both have chosen their ways. But this new rumor pulls out the older stories together.

However, citing the thorough professionalism of John Abraham a close friend to John says “It has been nearly a year since John and Bipasha have broken up. However in spite of such a long time, John has maintained silence over the whole issue. In fact, in a recent interview to a daily, Bipasha hinted that John cheated on her. However, he did not even comment on it. But the recent news that he is instrumental in Bips being thrown out of Gupta’s film has upset him.”

“He has now moved on in life and everyone is aware that he is already dating Priya (Runchal) and has plans to settle down with her. He does not want any bitterness in his life and he wishes well for Bipasha who had been an integral part of his life for years. No one knows why they broke off and John has no intention of discussion that on a public platform. However, these constant attacks by Bipasha are now taking a toll on him. ” adds the close friend. 

Sanjay Gupta too denies the allegation and says, “Neither Ekta Kapoor nor I have ever claimed that Bipasha was a part of the film. So where is the question of her being out of the film? The last thing is to accuse John of doing something unprofessional. He does not in any way interfere in the casting process of the film. His silence should not be taken for granted. People are even saying that Naseerbhai and Nana Patekar are in the film but all I want to say is that nothing is finalised as of now.” 

Although in midst of this the crew says that they are aware of the tiff between the ex-couple's!

Is RGV the next after Gupta?

As the controversy on 'Department' continues, it is said that although Ram Gopal Varma has stopped the buzz about being seriously interfered in his creative work, it seem that the accused persons are too strong for him to handle. It is said that Sanjay Dutt and Dharam Oberoi are furious about these acts by the director and is not leaving any chances to deface his career. It is said that Sanjay and Dharam have been spreading the news about how difficult is it to work with RGV and also spreading out that RGV isn't the person who used to be the master of creativity like in earlier years. The news is spread out quite strong and it seems that this would eventually cause RGV to loose up his upcoming projects especially the much awaited 'Sarkar 3'.

Sanjay Dutt, who is close with Abhishek Bachchan is also too influential on the actor, so if the war continues between RGV and Dutt, the ultimate loss will be RGV's as he might loose his central character for 'Sarkar 3'. "Especially since Ramu has openly blamed Abhishek for getting Sanjay in the film and then opting out himself due to unavailability of dates," reveals a source, adding, "although Amitabh Bachchan has praised Ramu's so-called rogue methodology of filmmaking in the promotional interviews, he too won't be happy with the way Department failed so miserably." 

"Sanjay and Dharam are mincing no words when it comes to blaming Ramu for the failure of Department. Even though the director has spoken about their interference harming the film, they are telling others that he has lost his touch, proof being his string of flops. So Sanjay and Dharam are saying it's not a viable option to work with Ramu," explains the source.

Its not that Sanjay Dutt can't do it, he has done it with Sanjay Gupta, the director for 'Shootout at Lokhandwala' where the actor and director fell out on financial issues. Since then Sanjay Dutt has been able to confront every actor going to work with Sanjay Gupta making him not launch a film since S@L. So being such a powerful actor, he literally jeopardized the career of Sanjay Gupta. He might not be able to do it to that extend but he might still be able to break the dream project of RGV. 

As the source divulges, "There were reports about how Sanjay Dutt tried to take Anil Kapoor and John Abraham out of doing the film. Vivek Oberoi, who patched up with Sanjay last year, couldn't upset him and opted out of Gupta's film. If Dutt could jeopardize Gupta's career, he can sabotage Sarkar 3." Sanjay Gupta is planning to release his movie this year under Ekta Kapoor's production house.

Although officially Dharam Oberoi and Sanjay Dutt's associates claim they do not have this power to break career. "Sanjay has been in the industry for over three decades. Why would he stoop low to ask any actor to not work with a particular director? Anil Kapoor and John Abraham are working with Sanjay Gupta. So the question of Sanjay Dutt asking actors to not work with Ramu doesn't arise. People will say all sorts of things, but truth will always prevail," says Dharam Oberoi.

We will wait to see the fate of Sarkar 3!

Sanjay Gupta pays for being innovative !!!

Sanjay Gupta filmmaker of 'Shootout At Wadala' sent out invites to the launch of his film in the form of a court summons in the hands of couriers dressed as policemen. 

Shootout At Wadala is the sequel of Shootout At Lokhandwala starring John Abraham as Manya Surve, Sonu Sood as Dawood Ibrahim and Manoj Bajpayee as Dawood's brother, Shabbir. It also stars Anil Kapoor and Kangana Ranaut.

The Versova police has registered an FIR against filmmaker Sanjay Gupta, producer Ekta Kapoor's production house and a publicity portal for accusing them, they have been booked under section IT act 66(b), 467, 468,469, 470, 471 and 420. Versova police officers investigating the case said that Gupta and Balaji Motion Pictures allegedly misused the commissioner's letterhead and rubber stamp to send invitations for the press conference that was held on Wednesday evening at Mehboob Studios in Bandra. 

Nandkumar Mhetar, senior inspector of Versova police station, confirmed that the director, the production house as well as a Bollywood movie portal glamsham.com were being accused of forgery and cheating. "The invitation cards printed by the production house contain the imprint of the commissioner's rubber stamp, and also mentions that the commissioner will be conducting the press conference to speak on the crime rates in the city."

Sanjay says, "I am not aware of this (case). As far as we are concerned, it was nothing more than an innovative and creative marketing thing. It was an invitation sent only to the media and not to any public. In any case, the summons-style invitation has a disclaimer stating that this is not a real summons and is purely for publicity and promotional purposes."

Ghanchakkar - Vidya's Comedy movie with Emraan

When an actress decides to entertain people with her good talents, there are barely any barriers that will stop her. Be it her bold roles in Ishqiya or The Dirty picture, she has always done her best to get the audience entertained. She has almost done all genres but comedy, so now we will see her humor talents with the next UTV motion pictures venture, Ghanchakkar.

Ghanchakkar is set to star Vidya Balan opposite Emraan Harshmi and is going to be a comedy entertainer. Siddharth Roy, Head of UTV motion pictures confirmed this and says "Ghanchakkar is our third film in a row with writer-director Raj Kumar Gupta. The lead roles were virtually written for Emraan and Vidya, so we have managed to get our dream cast."

When approached on her new venture, Vidya says “Comedy is one thing that I’ve wanted to do for a long time. As an actor, all you want to do is reach out to the audience with diverse, yet entertaining, roles. Also, the story, director and co-actors play a critical role ifor me while selecting a film,” .

The movie revolves around a ex-conman Sanju (Emraan) and his ambitious wife(Vidya). The story shows up the silly acts which happen when two thugs trap the couple and thereafter leads to a chaos. Vidya, who is presently busy promoting her forthcoming film Kahaani, directed by Sujoy Ghosh, will start shooting for Ghanchakkar in August this year. The film is expected to release by mid-2013. 

Vidya also clarified that she did not want to do 'Shootout at Wadala' although the director Sanjay Gupta had written the role keeping Vidya in mind, but she finds there little possibilities to explore her acting talents. The production crew of Shootout at Wadala has grabbed Kangana Ranaut for the role now, she will be playing opposite John Abraham. “In Shootout At Wadala, there was nothing much for me to do. They wanted to start it in November. I couldn’t do it at that time, as I had just finished The Dirty Picture and was busy promoting it,” says Vidya. 

 “I am sure it will be a good film, and whoever does it will do justice to the role. With no disrespect to anyone, this was not something I wanted to do,” she added.
