It8217;s war. The latest story doing the rounds in Bollywood is that a prominent camp has sab-otaged Vishal Bharadwaj8217;s Omkara. Now, the camp allegedly consists of a hotshot director and a superstar whose film released this Fri-day. Apparently, Ajay Devgan feels that the duo is not happy with the film8217;s critical ac-claim. Devgan and his producer/manager Ku-mar Mangat are even claiming that women audiences are being paid to leave the theatres. And that Omkara has done a booming business of Rs 31 crore in its first week. Tch Tch. When will the boys grow up?

Mommy? Not me
It seems Shilpa Shetty doesn8217;t want to play a mother on screen. At least that8217;s what she told a reputed producer who approached her with a script. Sexy Shetty flatly refused even a nar-ration. Such demands when she has such little work? By the way, Salman Khan8217;s Lucky co-star Sneha Ullal should get a lifetime Oscar. At 18, she is playing mom to a 6-year-old child in Aryan. Come to think of it, even she is virtu-ally jobless! Ah well, it8217;s all about perception, isn8217;t it?
Real to Reel
Madhur Bhandarkar is vindicated. His film Corporate had recently incurred the wrath of the business community, especially trade chamber Assocham that issued a strong statement saying the movie shows Corpo-rate India in bad taste by portraying indus-trial houses as 8216;8216;ruthless and heartless8217;8217;. But now, with the recent reports that indicate presence of pesticides in soft drinks, Bhan-darkar can8217;t stop grinning. 8216;8216;I8217;m getting calls that what Rang De Basanti did for the Jessica Lall case, my film has done for the pesticides issue,8217;8217; he says. Interesting.
