Jackie Shroff says no to father roles

July 16th, 2011

jackie-shroff-bollywood-001Guess, the ‘18 till I die’ syndrome works well with Jackie Shroff. According to sources, for the upcoming movie, ‘Neil Ko Pakadna Mushkil Hi Nahin Namumkin Hai’ directed by Chandra Barot, Jackie was offered the role of the lead actor i.e. Aniket Vishwasrao father but Jackie refused and as a result, the storyline was changed slightly and he was asked to portray the role of the actors brother.

Director of the movie informs, “Jackie was to project the role of Abhijeet’s father but he refused the role saying abhi mujhe pitaji ke role nahi karne hain . Therefore, we changed his role as the brother’s role in the movie.” In the movie, Jackie Shroff essays the role of Aniket Vishwasrao’s big brother and the brothers have an uncanny rapport as they like to play games where they challenge one another on various issues. Now, Jackie’s photos regularly appear on the front page for his many charities and he always chides with Aniket as to when would he see his photo on the cover of a paper. This is a sort of challenge for Neil (Aniket) and he accepts the challenge. Neil, with his three friends, kidnaps a beauty queen (Sanam) who has just won a beauty pageant (not knowing she is the daughter of the Chief Minister). Thus starts a long chase and finally Swati (Sanam) realises that this was a prank gone wild (she actually falls in love with Neil), both Swati and Neil decide to clear all misunderstandings and return back home when Swati actually gets kidnapped by real terrorists. The boys decide to rescue her as it was their fault in the first place and in the process, they also get caught. Here Jackie Shroff decides to bring his brother back and this time Jackie’s wife (Anu) throws a challenge at him and this is one challenge he is not going to loose.

Salman Khan exclusively for YRF

July 16th, 2011

salman_picIn Bollywood, Salman Khan’s wish is the industry’s command. However, even Salman knows when to make an exception.

Considering it’s the actor’s first ever collaboration with YRF in the romantic thriller Ek Tha Tiger, he has decided to do as Aditya Chopra has requested, by blocking his dates exclusively for the project.

A source informed that Salman has always wanted an opportunity to build a relationship with the banner that his father, Salim, has worked extensively with, in the films Deewaar, Trishul and Kaala Patthar.

And while, this has motivated the actor to agree to Aditya’s terms, Salman’s brother and producer Sohail Khan will have to pay the price.

The source explained, “Salman will start shooting for Aditya’s project later in the month.

He was then scheduled to film for Sohail’s Sher Khan in September. However, with the actor’s latest arrangement with YRF, Sohail’s project will have to be postponed.”

Ek Tha Tiger, directed by Kabir Khan, also stars Salman’s ex-flame Katrina Kaif.
