"No one better than Eros in overseas" - Sajid Nadiadwala
"There's no one better than Kishore Lulla (Eros) in overseas," says long time associate Sajid Nadiadwala who has joined hands yet again for his hot-n-happening next release Housefull. "Kishore is one of the finest human beings I have met and a very fair person. There's an outstanding chemistry between me and Kishore. He's not merely a businessman but he's also very sensitive about his films," Nadiadwala adds. Sajid-Kishore bonding goes back to successful films like Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega, Heyy Babyy, Kambakkht Ishq and now Housefull which is carrying excellent reports. "Whenever we've worked, we've created a buzz. Heyy Babyy grossed Rs. 50 crores and it was the biggest grosser of Akshay's career then. The first day collection of Kambakkht Ishq was No. 1 as it had Rs 8.5 crores." Alright, how was your experience of working on Housefull? "Fantastic. Kishore gives a free hand in making the film. He has a brilliant office infrastructure in Mumbai handled by his brother Sunil Lulla. Hope our association works well in Housefull as well and it breaks all records." Housefull will be having one of the "biggest, widest releases. It will release in 2000 + screens across the world," Nadiadwala informs. As for his superhit combo with Eros, Sajid hopes that it will continue to reap rich dividends even for their eagerly anticipated project Anjaana Anjaani starring Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor which is releasing in a few months time.Budget blues: Yash Raj tells Kabir Khan to drop epic film
The budget crunch has eaten into one of the biggest production houses in the entertainment industry. According to well-placed sources close to Yash Raj Films, the banner which had till recently a reputation for an unbroken string of hits has now after setbacks like Dil Bole Hadippa, Rocket Singh Salesman Of The Year and Pyaar Impossible instructed its roster of directors to shoot within reasonable budgets. And financially impractical projects are a strict no-no. This, Kabir Khan discovered when after New York he decided to make a lavish big-budget epic. Initially, Aditya Chopra the Yash Raj scion was enthusiastic about the novel idea and gave Kabir a cart-blanche... But as the script evolved it became clear to the producers that Kabir Khan's epic would be one of the most expensive films in the history of Yash Raj. Aditya Chopra sat Kabir down for a meeting and calmly told him the epic project was not working. Admits Kabir, "Yes I've abandoned my earlier script. This was a subject I had with me from even before I made my first feature film Kabul Express. You can say it's my dream project. And my dream is now on hold." Kabir confirms that Aditya Chopra asked him to work on another more financially feasible subject. "After working on the earlier script for several months, I'm writing a new script. It's more of a fun film than New York. It is definitely not about global terrorism this time. I've said whatever I have had to on that subject. But a socio-political undercurrent can't be too far away from what I do." As for Kabir's dream project, he hasn't given up on it. "That's the film I became a feature-director for. I won't give it up."Benitez to have some Hennessey
