Celeb Whispers: Latest gossip from Bollywood

Things are not going right between this actor and his producer. Both of them have their own set of ideas on how their forthcoming film should be promoted. 

Damage control

We hear that after reading the reviews of Humshakals, Saif Ali Khan is keeping a safe distance from the film. He consciously stayed away from all the “success” parties of this movie. Apparently most of his friends from the industry warned him to stay away from this film but he went ahead anyway, lured by the hopes of box office success. For the first time in his career, Saif’s performance has been criticised in a film. We hear that he is not responding to Sajid Khan’s calls regarding the next film that they were supposed to do together. Right now the actor is only concentrating on Happy Ending, Phantom and his next with Reema Kagti.

 PR mishaps

A recent news item suggested that Sonam Kapoor bagged Salman Khan starrer Prem Ratan Dhan Payo because of her father Anil Kapoor. Anil reportedly made a phone call to Salman asking him to cast Sonam in Sooraj Barjataya’s much talked about film. Rumour has it that this is the work of the public relations company that was previously managing her work. Now that she is no longer with them, she is facing accusations of nepotism. It seems like someone’s out to get revenge.

 Vidya stands alone

We have heard that even Vidya Balan has stepped away from her PR firm because she was not happy with the way her life has been portrayed in the media in the last few months. The actress was in the news not for her films but for rumours of a troubled marriage and wrongly speculated pregnancy. She was livid when her husband’s name was linked to an upcoming actress. Right now Vidya is going solo and has decided not to team up with any PR firm in a hurry.

 Newbie actor misjudged?

New girl on the block Kriti Sanon is in the news for many wrong reasons. After making her Bollywood debut with Heropanti, she signed Singh is Bling with Akshay Kumar. These days her name is being linked to a married producer. Rumour has it that the man is so besotted with Kriti that she’s been signed on for a three-film deal with the studio. But our sources insist that there is no truth to this matter. We feel bad for the poor girl whose hard work and talent has been overlooked because of these rumours.

 Actor versus producer

Things are not going right between this actor and his producer. Both of them have their own set of ideas on how their forthcoming film should be promoted. The duo had a huge fight recently over the marketing plans of the film. We hear that the lead actress was torn between the two but has clearly chosen to be on the actor’s side. The chemistry of the co-stars at various gatherings is the talk of the town right now.
