There have been too many blind items about this upcoming movie. Last week Pinkvilla published a blind item which spoke about the hero’s friends nudging him to quit the movie(click here to read more). There have been blind items which spoke about the director’s protege being unhappy on not being cast in his latest flick.

While the protege is not being cast, the director’s other frequent collaborator who plays heroine still has a chance on being a part of the movie. What people don’t know is that the director’s favored heroine is also his GF!(click here to read more)It is a clash of BF’s fighting to please their GF’s.

Blind Item
This young actor, just coming off a big, much-needed hit, has had a reputation for aligning himself with his directors’ vision. Unlike the older superstars who tend to have the final say when it comes to casting and hiring key technicians, this heartthrob star has taken pride in the fact that he trusts his filmmakers implicitly to make all the right decisions.

Which is why it’s surprising to hear Bollywood insiders say that he’s locked in some sort of stalemate with the director of his new film over the casting of the actress opposite him. According to stories doing the rounds, the actor is insisting that the filmmaker sign his girlfriend for the role, but the director is keen to go with a young actress he’s worked with in previous smaller projects.

It’s puzzling, given that the actor’s girlfriend is a bona fide A-lister who’s busier than the star himself. And she hardly needs anyone to recommend her. Sources close to the director reveal that there is indeed some awkwardness between the two men, since the filmmaker had already promised the role to his favourite actress. Meanwhile, the actor can’t seem to understand why the filmmaker would decline an opportunity to raise the film’s profile by attaching his superstar girlfriend.

Apparently, the two have a meeting scheduled overseas where the director is supervising a project that his former assistant is directing. The actor will make a stop en route to a different location where he’s shooting for another new film.
