Blind Item 2 – July 2016

    We have another blind item for you and this time, it comes from Rajeev Masand. It refers to a recent release that was highly awaited, but didn’t receive a good response at the box office. The reason why is because a lot of people did not like the film, especially the lead heroine’s acting while her other two supporting leads got amazing praise for the way they played their characters. Also, there seemed to have been problems with the director’s first film too and the actress had to direct the film on her own because he wasn’t doing a good job. We won’t say more, just check out the blind item below.

    The Star-Struck Filmmaker

    Blind Item 2 – July 2016

    The crew that worked on a recently released film appears to be genuinely upset about the film’s failure, placing all the blame at the feet of their director whom they insist was way too distracted to give his job the attention it deserved. Those closely attached to the project reveal that the director simply wasn’t around for much of the post-production, choosing instead to participate in reality shows and promotional tours with his stars in the weeks leading up to the film’s release.

    A key member of the team says the captain of their ship didn’t so much as sit in on the final edit of the film, issuing blanket instructions over the phone while attending international premieres. “Dus minute kaat do,” he ordered his editor on the phone line from Europe when the producer said the film’s length was becoming an issue. He didn’t even bother to recommend which scenes to snip.

    According to unit members, the director was so privileged and overwhelmed to be working with his A-list star that he became blinded by the fact that the star’s performance just wasn’t cutting it. When one of his actors pointed out that the star’s hysterical delivery needed to be reined in, the director reportedly brushed off the concerns, insisting that it is exactly how he had imagined the character. But this is hardly surprising for anyone who has closely followed his story.

    On his debut film a few years ago, it is a well-known fact that his actress had to jump in and pretty much take charge when the unit lost confidence in his leadership skills. He even fell out with his producer during the making of that film over his inability to execute the project in the manner that had been planned.
