Dostana 2 Stalls

July 26, 2010, (Sawf News) - Dostana 2 - headlining Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Katrina Kaif - has hit a roadblock due to creative differences between producer Karan Johar and helmer Taran Mansukhani.

According to the Mumbai Mirror, Karan does not approve of Mansukhani's script.

Surprisingly, Abhishek seemed to have liked the script. Earlier this month, he told the TOI:

"Initially I was against doing a sequel to Dostana. I couldn't see how Tarun Mansukhani could make it funnier. How could he rise to the occasion? Tarun said, 'Let me write the script. You'll be the first person I'd narrate it to. If you don't like it then I'd throw it out.' Believe me Dostana 2 would be twice as funny as Dostana."

Karan, of course, is the person who calls the shots, not Abhishek, and Karan has strongly advised Tarun to take time off and spruce up the script.

Filming was scheduled to begin in the first week of August in London and the lead stars - Abhishek and John - had put off their other projects for Dostana 2.

Abbas-Mustan's The Italian Job remake starring Abhishek had been rescheduled to November to give time to the star to complete Dostana 2. John Abraham had taken a rain check on the cop drama Kaakha Kaakha remake for the sake of Dostana.

Tarun is currently struggling to ensure that Dostana 2 release date is not impacted.

"Karan and I have collectively taken a call to delay the start of filming by a few months so as to gain more prep time. Dostana will still release as per schedule in the second half of 2011," said Tarun.

Pranitha – Leaning Telugu Isn’t Difficult

 Em Pillo Em Pillado girl Pranitha says she might not be new to the camera but she is definitely new to the language. Though she found it unsettling initially, the producer Pokuri Baburao and director AS Ravikumar Chowdary along with the unit helped her with it and now she not only reads but also writes telugu. Telugu is similar to Kannada and that’s what makes it easy to comprehend she avers. To keep herself slim and pretty the actress stays away from oily food and gulps down gallons of water, also swims regularly and finally attempts to be calm and composed always. Her dream role is to do a socio-fantasy like Kajal’s in Magadheera. She’ll next be seen in a film entitled Bava with her favourite co-star Siddharth.

When Amitabh Bachchan was mistaken as Shah Rukh Khan

Hindi film megastar Amitabh Bachchan was in for a surprise at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport recently when an uniformed officer mistook him for actor Shah Rukh Khan.
The 67-year-old actor was on his way back to the country when he was mobbed at the airport and had to oblige them with autographs. But he was in for a shock when he was mistaken for King Khan.
Recounting his experience, Bachchan wrote in his blog, “Airports are strange places. KLIA is no different from any airport where the staff would immediately recognize any celebrity, except a few exceptions. They mob and ask for pictures and stuff… I oblige… it makes them happy.
“They seem to be obsessed with our cinema and with our artists. One today, uniformed and medalled, walked past me in the crowded duty free, turned back after expressing some recognition and smiled – ‘hello .. Mr ShahRukh Khan’,” Bachchan wrote.
The veteran actor, one of the most famous Bollywood faces abroad, did not know how to react and is still in two minds whether he should take it as a compliment or not.
“I am still debating in my head whether I should take this as a compliment or not. For the official to find absolute dedication in his name giving, sends me a healthy feeling. I shall remain with it…,” he wrote.
