Genelia out of the equation..

Genelia D'Souza will no longer be a part of Bol Bachchan.

Though Genelia was supposed to star opposite Abhishek Bachchan in this Rohit Shetty film, there were differences that cropped up between the makers and the actress to which this decision was taken.

A hunt is now on for the second lead in the film that has Ajay Devgn and Asin topping the cast with Abhishek joining in as well.

“For Genelia this could have been a ticket into a big Bollywood commercial film. In fact, she was banking on the film since Rohit has an impeccable record when it comes to delivering hits. Moreover the film is said to be a remake of a cult classic like Golmaal (the old one starring Amol Palekar), which means a successful outing was guaranteed,” said a source.

However, there were issues that cropped up before the film had gone on the floors.

“All was certainly not well between Genelia and the makers of Bol Bachchan. Genelia was not quite happy with her role as she felt she deserved better due to her reasonably successful stint down south.

“On the other hand, the makers were not too happy with her either. The differences did not seem to end and it was in the interest of both parties to call it a day.”

No one knows whether Genelia was asked to leave or it was the petite actress who chose to walk out. However, the fact remains that as of now there is a spot vacant for another girl to step in.

Since the film is looking at going on the floors pretty soon, it is currently a critical situation for Bol Bachchan to find an instant replacement.

“A decision has to be taken in a jiffy as Ajay, Asin and Abhishek have already allocated their dates and have to move on to their other respective projects soon.”

Love birds Genelia and Riteish come together

Bollywood actors Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza are excited to share screen space after a gap of seven years since their last outing together in 2004.

Also, Riteish said, "My first film with TIPS - Kumarji (Taurani)- have been wanting to work with them for a long time."

Force teaser trailer unveiled..

Everyone acclaims Gautham Vasudev Menon’s Kaakha Kaakha as one of his most commendable of his showpieces so far.

It’s almost 7 years since Kaakha Kaakha had released and Bollywood producers have now attempted to recreate the magic with John Abraham and Genelia D’ Souza with its remake titled Force.

Trouble in cockpit

Actress Genelia D’Souza has landed up in trouble for something which we think she is definitely not the right person to be blamed. As per the sources she has shot for an advertisement wherein she is shown getting a bit cozy with the pilot in a cockpit.

Now this act of the petite beauty has irked many of the airline staffs, they feel that this ad is posing fun at their profession and is also hampering their image. As per an air hostess, working with a reputed airline, “The ad agencies should not ruin our reputation. People use such ads to spread gossip about us. Being glamorous is important in our profession, but people think we are easy because of such media portrayal”.

The officials want to ban this ad and are not ready to entertain such remarks on them at any cost. They are even planning to lodge a complaint against the ad makers. However, the creators of the ad feel that the ad hasn’t been designed to hurt the feelings of anyone involved with the professions. They say, “It is a light, flirtatious interlude. It doesn’t put down anyone from the aviation sector or any other profession”.

If a court case is being filed, Genelia is to get caught in it too. The staff at different airlines feels that being a celebrity she shouldn’t have taken up such a project!!

We wonder how far this issue is to be dragged but we hope Genelia gets out of it soon!

Almost 80 per cent of the film is completed and those who have seen the rushes are gushing about it saying that the action, dance, and music of this entertainer is simply astounding.

Genelia and Hansika play the lovely lasses on either arms of Vijay, a milkman reminiscing us of Superstar Rajnikanth in Annamalai. Genelia plays an intrepid reporter and Hansika does what she does best with the role that she has been offered.

With lovely lasses on either of his arms and miling more milk with astounding entertaining elements Velayudham is expected to hit screens on Vijay's birthdate to make good business to that of a good looking milkman he has turned out to be.

The superhero Vigilante slash the alter ego of the milkman on the script is a surprise for which the director along with his producers play with the cards close to their chest as this project is another remake of the Telugu hit Azad (2000) that had Nagarjuna, Shilpa Shetty and late Soundarya playing pivotal roles.

Furious Fans

A house owned by Vijay, which was rented out to Vijay Anthony, came under attack recently. Some miscreants hurled stones inside and caused damage to this house situated in Virugambakkam. It was suggested that certain political factions, who disapproved of Vijay’s entry into politics, may have been behind the attack. The police report however put it down to drunken misconduct on the part of a few individuals.

This has angered Vijay fans who felt that justice has not been served. They have decided to organize protests to express their anger. The Coimbatore branch of Vijay Makkal Iyakkam was the first to make their feelings known and have organized a demonstration in that area. Many fans have joined in and they are all screaming for vengeance against the men who did this to their hero. They are demanding that the perpetrators be arrested and punished immediately.
