Guess Who: Director Helps Young Actress Land The Heroine’s Role

Rajeev Masand has published a blind item in Open The Magazine about a director who helped a young actress land the heroine’s role opposite an A-list star.

Things have been looking up for this young actress. After starring in several flops, she has been among the hits in the last two years. While it looked like her career was going downhill, a few good hits have managed to turn the tide for her. It is weird how suddenly she is the subject of quite a few blind items. Has she hired a new PR agency is it the same old PR agency which is trying hard to impress its client?

While many may have forgotten, it was rumored that this actress was rumored to be having a fling with the director mentioned in the blind item. Their movie together was a huge hit. Then came news of her being in relationship with that movie’s leading man. Did she do both of them? Sources keep telling us that she is not faithful to her current date either. A top director told our source during their high school reunion that she has been hooking up with her ex-BF on the sly.

Blind Item

A popular director who delivered the biggest hit of his career so far with a musical love story some years ago may have put in a word for his leading lady that helped her land the heroine part in a new film opposite an A-list star.

Things have finally begun to look up for this young actress who’d been having a tough run until she landed a role opposite one of the most popular south Indian stars in a big multilingual film last year. That movie didn’t work, but she did score a hit with another Bollywood release. More recently, she was in a big-budget entertainer that’s done reasonable business. What she needed was a film that could give her a character to sink her teeth into. Especially since her exit from a coveted biopic came with speculation that she just wasn’t living up to the director’s expectations.

It was clear that she just needed something solid to shut up the naysayers.

And voila—exactly that seems to have fallen into her lap in the form of this project that will star one of the industry’s most talented young male actors (himself going through a rough patch currently). It will be directed by a filmmaker who’s made a string of relatively modest-sized hits. Another actress was originally attached but when she left the project, the filmmaker’s friend—the aforementioned director—recommended this young leading lady for the job, promising the filmmaker that she would be right for the role, and pointing out that it would be fresh casting since she’d never worked with the A-lister before.

It all worked out after the big-shot music baron who’s bankrolling the project gave his blessing. Insiders are saying he might still have some guilt from having had a hand in her exit from that biopic…which he’s also financing.
