Sanju's ready to forgive

Sanjay Dutt will finally work in a Mahesh Manjrekar film. The change of heart occurred at the recent IFFA award ceremony in Colombo, where the two buried the hatchet and decided to kickstart the project, Ek Anokhi Prem Kahani, that had been lying in cold storage for long. In the film, Sanjay will share screen space with Kareena Kapoor for the first time. Mahesh is, of course, over the moon with this development. In an interview with a Mumbai daily, he said, "The film was planned with Sanju and Kareena right after her debut in Refugee. She projected a pristine beauty and innocence that I needed to play up against Sanju's character. Though Kareena has matured in ten years, I find the same quality of unspoilt beauty and grace in her. Sanju also has aged wonderfully. To me they still work for my love story." Let's hope it works at the box office as well.

Not a funny scene

The rumour mills have it that Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is producing My Friend Pinto, is giving the film's director Raghav Dar a tough time. Apparently, he drops in on the sets and asks Dar to reshoot whatever he doesn't like, without understanding the director's vision. According to sources, once he even asked Dar to change the sets, scenes and even the choreography. Although the film starring Prateik and Kalki Koechlin is supposed to be a comedy, Dar, who has assisted Mani Ratnam and worked with Sanjay on his play Padmavati, is not finding the experience funny.

did you know?

Katrina Kaif does not like wearing make-up. She claims that she doesn't "need to apply much make-up. Besides, the team that works on me is so good that I have fun all the time." This Kat is definitely meowing. Wonder how theother actresses, who have taken wearing make-up to another level, will react to this comment … or to her, for that matter.
