The blind item below is by Rajeev Masand. It’s about something that was in the news last week. It is still in the news because now the media is debating on who should be and who would be cast to play this mogul. It was already being debated why Khiladi Kumar refused the film after agreeing to do it in the first place. He even accepted the film’s signing amount from the producers and then when he did not want to do it, he returned the money.

It was reported then that he wanted some changes in the script. The producers and director refused, so he just showed himself out. Now the media has asked him again who should play this moghul and he said that no one else can play that moghul onscreen aside from him. So, why did he refuse to do it if he has such hard feelings about this character? Once he got out, he should be more open to the idea of other actors taking over his spot. It can’t be that he got out by himself without anyone forcing him and yet, he still wants to play this role. Doesn’t make sense!

Now that Mamu Khan has taken over this project, it has been assumed that Raymond will take over this character. Actually, this is what mamu wants. He seems a little obsessed with Raymond’s career choices. It’s weird! Let’s wait and see who gets to take over this project.

 

 

Bollywood Blind Item

Change of Heart

An A-list male star recently dropped out of a high- profile biopic, making way for another A-lister. It has led to speculation among industrywaalas who can’t seem to understand why the actor would leave the film, especially since it’s the passion project of a top producer with whom he has a successful professional relationship.

Turns out it may have something to do with the cynical public responses to another high-profile biopic that released recently. Insiders are saying the actor does not want to make a movie that could be contentious; that he just doesn’t need to make a movie that will divide his fans. Fair enough, but most insiders are wondering how the other star who’s taken his place—who has an even bigger reputation for being a stickler—took the bait.
