Saurabh Shukla, best known for his role as ‘Kallu mama' in “Satya”, wants to break away from his parallel-cinema and serious-actor stereotype. He is now ready to release his first full-blown commercial film “Pappu Can't Dance Saala” starring Vinay Pathak and Neha Dhupia. While Vinay has previously worked opposite Lara Dutta portraying an oddball couple, this time Neha Dhupia plays his unusual love interest. The story appears notoriously similar to the 2005 film “Main Meri Patni Aur Woh” with a short and plain-looking man marrying a tall and beautiful woman. But Saurabh is hoping that his film will be ‘zara hatke'!
John can't act
We aren't saying a thing; in fact, it is John Abraham who has decided he can't act — in his maiden production venture, that is! The actor, who has turned producer with his banner JA Entertainment, is certain he doesn't want to make films and act in them whether the script requires it or not. John's first production will be helmed by Shoojit Sircar and is titled “Vicky Donor”. John is roping in several pros from Hollywood to support his film.
Tough choice
Guess who's racing to win a film with Shah Rukh Khan? Kareena and Katrina, the pretty lassies of B-town are trying to elbow out each other, we hear, for bagging the role in Rohit Shetty's next action film with SRK. The director, who was earlier scheduled to remake the classic comedy “Angoor” with SRK and Kareena, had to decide on an action thriller after his lead actor wanted to continue with the genre post-“Ra.One”. Katrina already has one YashRaj film with the man, and Bebo just completed “Ra.One”.
