An old blind item from Bollywood for you all to guess today. It comes from India’s reputed paper, Telegraph India. It’s not that hard to guess, who the author was talking about here, but in case you have no idea, check out our guesses below.
Disaster before release
It was meant to be one of the biggest films of the year. After all, its lead actors are card-carrying members of the 100-crore club. But, as the release date approaches, stories of unhappy producers and the lead actor suggest that the film and its director are in trouble. It all started when the producers decided to not shoot the film in the more expensive format the director wanted. Midway through, the lead actor developed cold feet when he realised that the film was not shaping up well. On the editing table, the director was forced to trim the film to the bare minimum to keep the producers happy. And now, the lead actor has point-blank refused to promote what he says will be ‘an unmitigated disaster’. The second-time director is so low on goodwill within the industry that he might find it tough to bounce back from another flop.
