Shahid refuses Gowariker for Priyanka Chopra

After What’s Your Rashee, Ashutosh Gowariker has already started penning down a new script for his next film.

He approached King Khan but Shah Rukh Khan turned down the offer. After all the ‘Swades’ debacle is still lingering in the puns of Awards functions! So SRK cited some date problems. Indeed once bitten, twice shy!

Now next on Gowariker’s wish list was Shahid but to his shock, the actor too refused to work in his film. Not many people know that earlier Shahid had verbally committed to do his flick.

Well what is the reason for Shahid backing out suddenly?

Is it because of Gowariker’s statement on Piggy Chops at the IIFA? Ashutosh humiliated Piggy Chops at the IIFA ceremony by making a comment on stage that not her but Aishwarya deserved the best actress trophy.

Did Ashutosh’s comment on Piggy Chops didn’t go down well with Shahid?

Hmm… Seems like, camping with the Bachchans’ is alienating Ashutosh from the industry, first he creates ruckus at Film Awards, then humiliates Piggy Chops and now no actor is ready to work with him. Read more

Shahid Kapoor touted as biggest Kamina

Scriptwriter-director Amol Gupte, who plays a villain in Vishal Bharadwaj’s forthcoming thriller “Kaminey”, says he has no problems being touted as the biggest ‘kamina’ (rogue). On a more serious note, he says he discovered his mean side from failures in life just like his character in the movie.

“Essentially ‘Kaminey’ is a kind of metaphor for meanness and it has its shades for the characters in the film. Even in the contest ‘Sabse Bada Kamina Kaun’ to promote the film, I am being touted as the biggest ‘kamina’ (rogue) and I don’t mind that, ” Gupte told in a telephonic interview from Mumbai.

“I take it completely in my stride as I’ve tried to discover my mean side from massive amount of failures just like Bhopey, my character in the movie. The essence of the meanness quotient is what you’ll find in my character. His emotions are on a gallop and he is a dangerous man. He has got multiple shades, ” he said.

Gupte came to the limelight for penning the critically acclaimed 2008 movie “Taare Zameen Par”. Initially, Gupte was directing the film, but Aamir Khan later took over the reins and debuted as a director with the movie about a dyslexic child.

Asked if he had to undergo any research for his screen comeback, he said: “Thirty years of cinema study has got me a good experience and that is exactly the form of R&D that has gone from my side into the film.”
