Sajid Khan is back again to tickle your funny bone with Housefull 2: The Dirty Dozen.
Actress Zarine Khan, who once weighed 100 kg, shed her weight to make a mark in the entertainment industry but the Character Dheela girl doesn't believe in crash diets and prefers balanced eating habits.
We recently reported the bonding between Jacqueline Fernandez and her Housefull 2 director Sajid Khan.
Now the possessive beau has started to affect her professional decisions, too. Apparently, Khan forbade her from doing an item number for Desi Boyz starring Akshay Kumar and John Abraham. Says an insider, "Director Rohit Dhawan and producer Krishika Lulla were keen that Jackie do an item song for DB. However, she refused the song saying Sajid (Khan) wouldn't like it. Apparently, the director has a say in whatever Jackie does, personally and professionally. The 'official' reason is that if Jackie acts with John in Desi Boyz (it releases before Housefull 2), the pairing would lose its freshness for Sajid's film."
Khan refutes the buzz, "She hasn't discussed anything with me. It's her choice... I will never interfere with anyone's career. If she asks me, I will definitely stop her. Jackie is paired opposite John in my film. If she performs an item song with Akshay and John in Desi Boyz and it releases before my film, it will affect the freshness of my film. I won't allow any of my pairs - Akshay-Asin, John-Jackie and Riteish-Zarine - to do item songs together in anyone else's film before Housefull 2 releases."
When asked if he didn't want Jackie to turn down the song because of their personal equation, Khan says, "I don't discuss my personal life." Jacqueline says, "Sajid is the director of my next film, Housefull 2. He wants to see John and me as a fresh screen pair with this film. Doing the DB song would've killed that element, so I respected his decision and passed on the opportunity."
Krishika adds, "Jacqueline told me Sajid wouldn't allow her to do the song."
Once in a while comes a clash between two star-studded films.
No sooner did Yash Raj Films announced that Ek Tha Tiger would release on the 1st of June next year, the news came that Sajid Nadiadwala’s Housefull 2 would also hit the screens the same day.
Trade analysts predict that the release of the two films will keep the box office cash box jingling.
While the YRF film has Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in the lead, Housefull 2 has stars like Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Riteish Deshmukh, Shreyas Talpade, Asin, Zarine Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Shazahn Padamsee, Rishi Kapoor,Randhir Kapoor and Mithun Chakraborty.
Incidentally, Nadiadwala’s Housefull opened to packed houses and was one of the biggest hits of 2010.
Moving onto the production of Housefull 2, sequel to Housefull which has already begun and the filmmakers have opted out for London as their first stop.
While things are running smoothing, not everything is going to plan as accordingly to reports, director Sajid Khan is having a difficult time in persuading his heroines, Asin Thottumkal and Zarine Khan into wearing a bikini.
Sajid wants to incorporate the same sort of glamorous look he did with the original Housefull, where his leading ladies, Lara Dutta, Deepika Padukone and Jiah Khan were seen dancing around in hot bikini’s.
But unfortunately, Asin and Zarine are just not comfortable in wearing one, and we don’t blame them, they certainly don’t match up to the likes of Sajid’s previous actresses. Though Zarine is said to have lost weight, we don’t think she could pull off a bikini just yet, and as for Asin she has clearly gained weight in the movie Ready.
On the other hand, heroine number three, Jacqueline Fernandez has given her director the green light and has absolutely no qualms about wearing a bikini. No surprises there!
We’re guessing Sajid never mentioned the bikini look with Asin and Zarine before they signed on the dotted line. Anyhow, the two stars have come across very confident about what they believe; they’re not called Salman Khan’s leading ladies for no reason.
Do you think Asin and Zarine are being unreasonable? Or are they doing the right thing?
Bollywood actress Zarine Khan may have found love. Salman Khan's blue-eyed girl was spotted with a mystery man at a Worli nightclub over the weekend.
An onlooker reveals, "Zarine walked in at around 1 am with a bunch of friends. There were a few guys and a girl in her gang. Her brother was also present. She was dressed in a white top and a black mini skirt and had a tattoo of a heart inked on her left ankle. One guy in particular stood out as the object of attention."
The source adds, "They were very comfortable in each other's company and were seen cosying up. Zarine and this guy kept showering each other with loving pecks on the cheeks, holding hands and hugging each other. Interestingly, when she hit the dance floor, the DJ played Zarine's hit track of her item number from Ready, Character Dheela Hai."
Our source didn't get the name of the guy but described his looks, "He is a fair guy of normal build and slightly shorter than Zarine in height. He was dressed in blue denims and white shirt with gray stripes and has a spiked hairstyle."
Zarine Khan made her debut last year with Salman Khan's Veer but her striking resemblance with Salman's ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif piqued everybody's interest more than her work.
The pretty actress is back in the spotlight with Salman Khan and this time its for an item number in the upcoming laugh riot 'Ready' that has Asin leading opposite Salman.
Zarine sheds light on her weight issues, Katrina Kaif and new projects and goes "Yes, I am really happy. People have loved the song and it is topping the charts. After Character Dheela became a hit, people's perception about me has changed. People have started accepting me and it feels nice."
She said that she had to put on her dancing shoes and mentioned that she loves dancing and has learnt Bharatnatyam and belly dancing.
Well, We would all like to see them skills to be exhibited. Don't We ? Kya Karein salaa Hamara Character bhi hogaya thoda Dheela . .
