    Bollywood Blind Item 2 - November 2014

    In Desperate Need of a Comeback Flick

    A prominent male star who suffered a crippling blow recently with the abysmal failure of his latest film, has been calling up industry bigwigs for advice on what his next move ought to be. His latest release was his fourth consecutive turkey, and the opening weekend collections of his films have been consistently declining—the new one taking in numbers so paltry that a rival star asked snarkily if a zero had accidentally gone missing from the figure. No wonder the poor actor appears to be seeking words of wisdom from experienced film industry folks on how to conduct his career hereon.

    He called upon an A-list producer-director who’s a close friend of his wife, to help understand what might have gone wrong with his last release, a film that was in the actor’s comfort zone. Apparently he has also been leaning on a superstar actor friend for guidance on how to navigate what’s left of his career.

    Good thing he has a sense of humour that sees him through these challenging phases. The actor apparently told his friends he could always get a fancy corporate job if the acting gig doesn’t work out anymore. “I am, after all, well qualified, with a foreign degree… something I must thank my parents for ensuring that I pursued,” he’s believed to have joked. Fortunately for him, it’s unlikely that the curtains will come down on his career just yet. He has at least two big films slated for release in the months ahead— both done with promising directors—which may turn it around.
