No difference

Let8217;s talk about Urmila Matondkar. Well, if anyone, and this includes the actress, thinks that it was her presence alone that has made Chhota Chetan a big hit, they need to do some rethinking. The revived-revised version of this three-Dfilm is doing well in the city. But trade expert Komal Nahata says that this is only because the film is running in two theatres. quot;Also there is a whole new generation that hasn8217;t seen a three-D film. Plus the fact that it is tax-free is helping the film. I don8217;t think it is running because of Urmila8217;s presence. In fact, they should have released the film in it8217;s original version. The new scenes are so distinguishable from the older, original ones,quot; says Nahata. Well, what Urmila should do next is wait for Satya. Reports say she is damn good in the film and actually, so is the film.

Last date

Mukul Anand8217;s Dus stirred a hornet8217;s nest even before the shooting started. You remember that fiasco with Lisa Ray when she said yes and later walked out? Then the whole panga with Karisma since Salman didn8217;t want to work opposite her. And then after a schedule, Mukul passed away. The stars involved, had been very emotional at that time but now such sentiments seem to be fading. Salman has given away his Dusdates to Baratiya, if sources are to be believed. But after Hum Apke Hain Koun..! it8217;s only natural for Salman to be in a hurry to complete this Rajshree film. Such films don8217;t get made everyday.

Sour grapes

Poor girl Mahima Chaudhary. First she had a falling out with her godfather and now people are saying that she is out of the only film she has in her kitty. The rumour doing the rounds is that she has been chucked out of the film that cast her opposite Govinda. To set the record straight: Mahima is in the film only word has got out that she is not. By the way, do you realise that a new chapter of bitter rivalry has begun? After Manisha Koirala and Aishwarya spitting venom at each other, now, it may just be the lovely Ash and the attractive Pardes girl. Already Mahima is sore about Ash getting Taal so much so that she pretends not to recognise her. Now what8217;s Ash8217;s fault here? PS: We don8217;t buy the bit about not recognising the former Miss World. I mean how many people haven8217;t seen Ash? And canan ex-model really say that?

Crank calls

Govinda is really upset. Do you care? Well, if you do, read on. The guy has sacked his old PRO after he failed to clarify rumours in the press that Chichi has nothing to do with a show in Pakistan. Also, there have been stories about the hero receiving threatening calls. On the contrary, the star says, he has been receiving quot;saving callsquot;. Now what does he mean? The dancing hero reveals that there was an attempt to attack him but it was foiled by a friendly caller who warned him. There was no one threatening him, he says. The children in his building are as upset as Govinda, ever since he came under security cover. There are cops in the compound all the time. As a result the children are running scared and prefer staying indoors. Govinda may be enjoying all attention from the kids and cops but he must be wishing that the killers didn8217;t like him so much.

Promo man

Ajay Devgan has found himself an alternate profession, just in case his actingcareer runs into rough weather. He can start making film promos to earn a living. The stunt-hero has taken the plunge with his own film, Pyar To Hona Hi Tha. Touted as the most expensive promo in the annals of Indian cinema, Devgan has himself conceived and executed the 30-second film _ after 50 hours and 252 layers of special effects. Apart from breathtaking visuals of Devgan and his leading lady, Kajol, the promo has the enchanting Paris skyline as the backdrop.
