The blind item is right about whatever this actress has been feeling. To be fair, it does not seem that she has a lot to do in this film. She is looking like if she is part of the supporting cast. There is another actor in it, which we forgot to mention in the trailer post of this film, he seems to have more screen space than she does but you don’t see him anywhere promoting the film. You don’t hear him complaining about it either. How could you? He ain’t got no Kebab Jo or Tikka Jo by his side! By the way, he is such a cutie pie! He was also in ‘Inside Edge’ playing the innocent and nice boy. In this film, he is the total opposite, which quite a transformation.

How come only the lead actor is going everywhere and jumping on people? Where are the other actors? It seems that the producers of this film and the director too realised how the lead actor can pretty much take hold of the promotions and the actress is not needed. But so far the active promotions have been performances on stage, so this actress definitely wouldn’t fit in because she is not singing in this film so what would she do on stage? Get jiggy with it?

 

It is true that suddenly after the stage performances, the actress was included but then again these were interview sessions, so it would be the producers’ loss if they don’t include her. There might be something amiss about this blind item. Probably, someone saw the actress missing and decided to put it together that something was wrong.

The promotions of a film are not decided before a day of the scheduled promotions, it is decided months before. If ever there was any problem, the actress would have worked it out already. Besides, her mentor is really besties with the director of this film and it is hard to believe that he did not go through the promotion plans with them months before now, especially since he knows the actor is most likely going to grab the headlines more than the actress.

 

If you think about it, both the lead actor and actress are bankable actors with box office success behind them. The producers of this film would be foolish if they don’t make full use of these two. Then again, we also remember how the same production house doesn’t really do much to promote their films. Katrina Kaif once got upset with their slow promotion tactic, she wanted more and more promotions while they just told her to calm down and let them do things their way. We don’t know if they are the same way now since their production house almost went through a period where everyone thought they would shut down and the producers would part ways.

It’s nice, though, to see that the actor cares enough about this actress’ complaints – if that’s really what happened. He didn’t get mad at her for going behind his back and complaining. At least, that’s what this blind item is saying.

But on the whole, it does seem like it is a made-up situation to explain why the actress has been missing from the promotions so far. If you check today, she has been doing interviews for the film with her co-star. So, there is no issue. Usually, with this production house, they like to do a huge music launch followed by a couple of group interviews. Everything seems to be on schedule.

The female lead of an upcoming film gets miffed with the makers; the male star comes to her rescue

Promotions for a movie can be a tedious job for the actors. Sometimes, it turns out to be a stressful job, often more than shooting for the movie they have been promoting. But, promotions can also be hurtful if one of the actors gets sidelined despite being an important part of the film. Such instances are often witnessed in the industry, but in rarity, actors speak about it in public.

Recently, a talented young female star who established her mettle in a very short period faced this kind of situation. She is the female lead for an upcoming musical film which stars the current heartthrob of the nation as the male lead. It so happened that the female lead was heard to be miffed with the director and the whole team of the movie for sidelining her during the promotions and giving all attention to the male star. She felt that she is being shown as only a supporting cast and the movie is not riding on her shoulders just as much.

Moreover, the young lady raised these concerns to her mentor, who happens to be a friend of the director as well. The mentor spoke to the director and the male star got a whiff of the whole incident. The male actor made sure that she becomes a part of the grand event that was held recently irrespective of her presence needed or not!
