Preity Zinta, Shiney Ahuja At ‘War’! February 21, 2008

All is not well between Preity Zinta and Shiney Ahuja on the sets of Jhanu Barua’s ‘Har Pal’. According to reports, the lead pair is not getting along with each other. In fact, the actress is having a tough time dealing with Shiney. According to sources, Preity is pretty fed up with Shiney’s antics and is trying her best to remain professional and finish the film. Initially, they were cordial to each other and the first schedule went very well. But now the atmosphere on the sets is hostile. One of the problems is that Shiney believes in giving a lot of retakes while Preity believes in giving her best in the first shot. Also, the actress is very punctual, while Shiney not only arrives late but spends long hours after that reading his lines and getting in the right frame of mind. Their styles of working are opposite. But it was Shiney’s behaviour on one of the schedules that intensified animosity. One of the scenes required Shiney to hug Preity. It was an intense dramatic scene and once the director called ‘action’, it seems that Shiney hugged the actress so hard that she yelled. She made her disgust apparent about Shiney’s manner of holding her. On that particular day, Preity made sure that Shiney stayed away from her all day. Now the pair share a strictly professional relationship and Preity stays away from Shiney. She does not want the film to be affected and is quite excited about her role in the movie. She is known to finish her shot and disappear into her van. Shiney has tried to patch up, but she is just not interested.

Aishwarya-Abhishek Together Again! February 21, 2008

It had to happen. After Guru the movie-making maverick Mani Ratnam was bound to return to his favourite actor. It comes as no surprise to know Abhishek Bachchan and Mani Rathnam will team up again for their third film together. After the terrific tuning that they shared during Yuva (which Abhishek describes as his career’s first turning-point) and Guru (which he acknowledges as his second turning-point) it doesn’t require much calculation to see the creative and commercial viability of the Mani-Abhishek pair. Abhishek’s better- half too is back in the Mani-fold. Coming out of his bereavement (Mani lost his brother earlier this year) Mani Ratnam is all set to announce a supple romantic film featuring filmdom’s foremost marital pair. Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan will come together in Mani Rathnam’s film that starts shooting in September. According to a source very close to the project, “It’s going to be a very intense love story. Where Guru was more a bio-pic with a cavalcade of characters claiming screen space, this film will focus primarily on the romance. It’s a very intense film. Mani most romantic film to date. And yes, it’s again based on real life characters.
