Nargis Fakhri too hot to be Mithunda’s sister

Posted: 22 May 2012 12:50 PM PDT


It was meant to be her next big film after Rockstar. But Nargis Fakhri has just lost out on her dream film opposite Akshay Kumar, because of changes beyond her control.

The film, Kumar's home production Khiladi 786 which goes on the floors next month is now left without a lead actress after Amitabh Bachchan pulled out because of health and date problems. The filmmakers, who roped in Mithun Chakraborty woke up to the realisation that the half-Asian model-actor, best known for her pout, would never fit in as Mithunda's sister.
A source close to the developments said, "Nargis was signed by Himesh Reshammiya and Akshay Kumar to play Amitabh's sister in the film. However after Bachchan pulled out, Akshay roped in Mithun to essay the role of gangster Tatya Tukaram Tendulkar. That changed a lot of things."
Apparently, Akshay was not willing to compromise on the role of the gangster, and given his equation with Chakraborty, especially after the success of Housefull 2, he was keen to have him on board. Unfortunately for Nargis, this meant she had to let go of her big role. There was no way the filmmakers would pass off the sophisticated Nargis as the earthy actor's sister, added the source.
The parting between Nargis and the makers of the film was amicable, we are told. And it happened on Monday afternoon. Sources also claim that there are no ill-feelings between the actress and the filmmakers. "They have decided to keep their options open for a future project that may bring them together. Right now, the hunt is on for a new leading lady," said the source. In the film Paresh Rawal and Himesh Reshammiya play Gujarati characters of Champak Lal and Mansukh and Akshay Kumar plays a Punjabi guy. The film goes on the floors in June and is directed by debutante Ashish R. Mohan. Producer Himesh Reshammiya and Nargis remained unavailable for comments.

Uday Chopra goes Hollywood – Rubs shoulders at Cannes with Nicole Kidman

Sadly enough, Uday Chopra, the son of highly successful film maker Yash Chopra, could not make it big in Bollywood. After a dream debut with superhit 'Mohabbatein', the actor has only 'Dhoom' and its sequel which can be counted as successful films in his career.
Disheartened by this fact, the actor turns to the West for rescue. Uday now heads YRFE, which was established last November as a subsidiary of Yash Raj Films to develop, finance, and produce English language films for the U.S. and global markets. Uday is reportedly producing 'The Longest Week', starring Jason Bateman, Billy Crudup and Olivia Wilde and to be directed by Peter Glanz.
Justifying his action, Uday says, "My family has a deep commitment to making and distributing quality films that entertain and enlighten audiences. I share that passion, as well as a love for American films that I have had since childhood. It is that enthusiasm and my love of the creative process of filmmaking that drove me to start this new venture."
Uday has also teamed with Pierre-Ange Le Pogam of Parisian company Stone Angels to produce and finance the upcoming Nicole Kidman project, Grace of Monaco. The film will be directed by Olivier Dahan and deals with the story of efforts by the late Princess Grace of Monaco (the former Grace Kelly, played by Nicole Kidman) to make peace between her adopted country and France.
Uday says, "Grace of Monaco is the kind of movie that has a perfect blend of talent and sensibility that YRF Entertainment is proud to be a part of."
What Bollywood could not do it for Uday, Hollywood is doing it and a proud Uday gets to walk the red carpet at Cannes this year rubbing shoulders with Nicole Kidman!!
