AKSHAY KUMAR WON'T PLAY IN HIS OWN PRODUCTION OH MY GOD

Akshay Kumar Won't Play in His Own Production Oh My God!

Akshay Kumar was supposed to play Lord Krishna in his next home production based on Paresh Rawal's successful play Krishna Vs Kanhaiya, a story about the clash between an atheist and God. However, Akki, reportedly has opted out of playing God.

The film that has now been titled Oh My God! and is Akshay's first co-production under his recently set up production company Grazing Goat, will be directed by Umesh Shukla, who had also directed the play it is based on. Ashvini Yardi, ex head honcho of a television channel gets into film production with this venture as well.

A source close to the film revealed to Mumbai Mirror, "Originally, Paresh Rawal was supposed to produce the film. But now his company Playtime will be the line producer for the project."

Explaining the reason behind Akshay's decision to opt out of the project, our source added, "Despite having to work on five films in 2012, Akshay tried his best to allot dates to his co-production with Ashvini. However, things failed to fall in place. He is tied up with five films next year- Shirish Kunder's Joker, Prabhu Devaa's Rowdy Rathore, Milan Luthria's Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Part 2, Ashish Mohan's Khiladi 786 and Neeraj Pandey's Special Chabbis. And Ashwini wanted to put her first film on floors in January 2012."

"Akshay and Ashwini had long meetings. Akshay is still trying to work out his dates, but chances of him remaining in the film are pretty remote. Even the entry scene had been completely worked out keeping Akshay in mind. So, all that will have to be done all over again. A big star will be chosen to replace Akshay," added the source.

According to sources from the industry, Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn are being considered to replace Akshay.

Akshay and Ashvini remained unavailable for comment.

SULAGNA PANIGRAHI OPPOSITE RAJAT BARMECHA IN UPCOMING MOVIE

Sulagna Panigrahi Opposite Rajat Barmecha in Upcoming Movie

Sulagna Panigrahi, popular as Dhara of Amber-Dhara fame, took the big leap and entered Bollywood with the thriller, Murder 2. And now she has grabbed her second big project opposite Rajat Barmecha of Udaan fame.

The movie we hear is a youth-centric movie. In Murder 2, the actress played a damsel in distress and couldn’t do the typical dancing and prancing around trees in the movie. However, her wish is fulfilled with her latest movie as not only is she playing a much younger girl but is also going to dance.

Sulagna says, “Yes, I have been selected for a film with Rajat Barmecha and it is a youth oriented movie. I am not allowed to divulge anything else at this stage. It’s a sheer co-incidence that I bumped into Rajat at the film festival, I had attended a few months ago and I had liked the film Udaan very much. And later we were introduced as co-stars in the party. I am looking forward to doing all that a Bollywood heroine does. After doing a film like Murder 2 where I was screaming throughout the film, this film gives me the scope to present my talent in a different way.” Good going girl.

MALLIKA SHERAWAT TO SING IN LUCKY UNLUCKY

Mallika Sherawat to Sing in Lucky Unlucky

Mallika Sherawat’s comeback film Lucky Unlucky directed by Afzal Rizvi has thrown yet another challenge at the actress. After making her slip into the role of an athlete, he now demands Mallika to exercise her vocal cords as well.

Mumbai Mirror learnt that the actress would now be singing with her co-actor Sonu Sood for a specially composed track in the film.

Composed by Santokh Singh, this song will have Mallika crooning in her native language Haryanvi.

In fact, Santokh Singh has been reportedly, asked to compose the music for the very track in a way that does justice to the untrained voices of both Mallika and Sonu.

When asked about the singing plans, Sonu said , “We are planning something. But if I reveal our music plans now what would be the USP later? We are planning a song that would incorporate sounds from across the country. There will be songs in Punjabi, Haryanvi, Telugu, Tamil and Marathi.”

Since Sonu has worked in Hindi, Punjabi , Tamil and Telugu films, the task of finding the correct music has been assigned to him. “We’re looking at both film and folk songs from these regions. Lucky Unlucky is a road movie that takes Mallika and me across the country. The music will be in the languages of the cities that we visit.”
