Film Talk: Casting Coups
By: Planet Bollywood Special Correspondant

Plan


Seems like director Sanjay Gupta and controversy walk hand in hand! Just as Kaante had some definitive news, his other movie Plan has actress Cleo Isaacs walking out of it. The reason she has given for her exit is that her role in the movie kept on getting reduced as more and more heroines stepped in, namely Priyanka Chopra & Isha Koppikar. She also asserted that she was signed as the ´leading lady´ of the movie. Produced by Sanjay Gupta under the White Feather Films banner and directed by Hriday Shetty, the film has music by Anand Raj Anand and lyrics by Dev Kohli. It is written by Yash-Vinay and Milap Zaveri; the same team that wrote ´Kaante´.

Bewafa

Boney Kapoor and Dharmesh Darshan´s upcoming magnanimous project has been victim of several rumors. The film´s star cast is said to have been huge with a number of big named stars (including a Khan or so). None of those rumors have been confirmed by Darshan or Kapoor but the film´s title (earlier reported as Kaajal) has been released as Bewafa and the stars confirmed are Anil Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor. An odd pair for a casting coup? According to both actors, it's story related.  

Desh

Aamir Khan asserts that he is still not out of reckoning for Ashutosh Gowariker´s next biggie Desh. According to him, the movie is still at the scripting stage and will take sometime to go on the floors. "Ashutosh Gowarikar is the captain of the ship and he will decide, if he finds Shahrukh better suited he should take him or if I suit the role better he will go for me", he informed.

Sulemani Keeda

No, it´s not the name of a film. Rather, it asserts that Johnny Lever seems to following in  the footsteps of the legendry comedian Mehmood. He has also taken up singing and has recently cut an album with an unusual name of, you guessed, it ´Sulemani Keeda´.
