The blind item below is by Rajeev Masand and as much as we love Mr. Masand’s blind items in the past, it has become clear that things are different now. We are not talking about his closeness to Kebab Jo and his minions, but more like so close to the stars that his vision is being blurred because who in their right mind would call Raymond a “young actor”? Also, it’s funny how he starts off his column with a story on Raymond and then went on to have this blind item about him.
This blind item is not true at all, unless this actress is losing her mind or she is really being mind-controlled by Kebab Jo! She is more successful than Raymond at this stage of her career so why would she bother to be in a film where she probably has a 15-minute role? The film already stars this senior actor and then there’s Raymond, so how much screen time you think the director has given to his leading lady? Plus, the story is that of a father and son. The reason why this senior star agreed to play the father of Raymond is because he was promised a big role that is powerful and on par with Raymond’s role.
The other actress is mentioned here, which is strange because previously blind items said she broke up with this director. There is no news anywhere that she was ever considered for this role. In all, this sounds like fake news. It’s more to hype up Raymond and Aloo Paratha since no one is believing them anyways.
Here’s wishing them more energy and ideas to make people believe in them.
Check out the blind item below by Rajeev Masand.
Bollywood Blind Item
Casting Aspersions
This young actor, just coming off a big, much-needed hit, has had a reputation for aligning himself with his directors’ vision. Unlike the older superstars who tend to have the final say when it comes to casting and hiring key technicians, this heartthrob star has taken pride in the fact that he trusts his filmmakers implicitly to make all the right decisions.
Which is why it’s surprising to hear Bollywood insiders say that he’s locked in some sort of stalemate with the director of his new film over the casting of the actress opposite him. According to stories doing the rounds, the actor is insisting that the filmmaker sign his girlfriend for the role, but the director is keen to go with a young actress he’s worked with in previous smaller projects.
It’s puzzling, given that the actor’s girlfriend is a bona fide A-lister who’s busier than the star himself. And she hardly needs anyone to recommend her. Sources close to the director reveal that there is indeed some awkwardness between the two men, since the filmmaker had already promised the role to his favourite actress. Meanwhile, the actor can’t seem to understand why the filmmaker would decline an opportunity to raise the film’s profile by attaching his superstar girlfriend.
Apparently, the two have a meeting scheduled overseas where the director is supervising a project that his former assistant is directing. The actor will make a stop en route to a different location where he’s shooting for another new film.

Admin, What do you mean Aloo has to do what Kjo asks her to?
So is she actually dumb itself, a puppet kind of person or bitchy starkid like Kareena? In fact Kareena looks better before her. The b’day wish to Kat was snarky, and she posed as her bff. Yuck.
My qtn was why she’s so restless these days in comparison to past. Now when she has it all.
Is it bz of Jhanvi, Sara next list coming on board for Dharma? Projects will definitely be shared and she won’t get exclusivity?
My doubt is another thing. Is it Rk affect? You’ve always talked about how he affected his gfs mentally. Is he putting self doubt into her?
Mona & Leap thanks for the response. I share same thoughts as well.
@Admin: Any clue about the status of Aish and Abhis relationship? Are they still together or have separated and just together for the cameras like Shweta and her hubby?
Are they even trying to hide the rift between them. Abhishek and ABsr are posting pics of them holidaying with Shweta’s kids and Ash is posting pics of holidaying with Aaradhya along with her mother. Ash’s trip to Paris was work cum holiday (because she attended Longines event) and if Abhishek was busy with work it is understandable for her to go on holiday without him but here Abhishek is also on holiday with his father, nephew and niece. Tbh I was a little suprised to see them openly flaunting holidaying separately on social media. They always like to keep up appeaeances act like everything is fine.
If they were on a trip with their respective group of friends I could understand but they are holidaying with their families.
They are probably relaxed as a couple and know that they need each other, especially Abhi. Both of their focus now is to get back to acting in movies so that is what they are focusing on right now.
Ranbir kapoor isn’t young and doesn’t look young either . He looks like in his late 30s. Ajay Devgan casted as his father looks very odd . It’s going to look more weird on screen unless they do a lot of work on their looks .They l look better as brothers on screen.
Kebab Jo and gang has started working on possible ways to walk out of this movie. He got the hit he needed, why bother working with a ‘smaller’ director
Why so many blinds, discussions about this film? Do they already realise the film hasn’t got people’s interest?
Also admin I find this quite strange, so asking you to know if you have any inside info.
Alia is apparently at an all time high, has many best projects lined up for her. But she looks like a chicken without a head, maybe she’s in pressure to maintain or want more hence the restlessness.
Whereas Deepika who is her direct conpetitior right now, who should actually be worried, since last film didn’t do her wonders and has no line up so far, is chilling out like she’s figured it all out.
Is it bz Dp has some big move ready to be back with a bang and Alia is worried over being toppled? What’s the real deal?
Alia’s career is dependant on Kjo as almost all of her movies are either co-produced/produced by Dharma. And with Kjo gearing up to launch and mentor a new bunch of nepos I’m certain she is aware that she can no longer get first dibs on all of the meaty, author-backed roles. She is talented but she is still not ‘the greatest female superstar than all those before her’ like her pr claimed.
No one could topple Deepika from her top position even when she had no bollywood release for two years. Her brand is way bigger than Alia or any other current actress. According to Rahul Raut she is apparently on a break and will get back to work after the wedding. I’m sure she must have signed or finalized a script for next year.
@Ananya Dp is an outsider, self made actor who spend 10 bloody years of hard work,risk taking in projects, hits and mises, sweat and tears to be in a position she is.she has built herself as a brand, an image, actor and superstar. There is a confidence and faith in self that comes with achieving what dp has done and mind you it took her 10 bloody years to be called directors first pic, superstar. She has learned to and proven that she can swim and survive the big bad world of bw on her own now. Dp is chilling because her movie with irfan was put on hold due to irfan’s health pretty sure she will have projects lined up for dates after movie with irfans’s wrap up was suppose to be.
ALia like a typical star kid took a shorter route thanks to kjo , it took her 5 years to proclaim she is the greatest superstar of all times. Alia’s entire personal and professional is curated by kjo Her i am dum image is carefully curated by kjo while in reality she is not, 90% of her work is produced by kjo , its kjo who lobbies on her behalf she never had to prove herself like an outsider like dp to become directors pick . Alia is ambitious, good actor but the route she took makes her insecure of her position and leaves her proclamation that she is the greatest start she is totally dependent extremely hallow and she looks like a chicken without a head. can she survive in bw with kjo who knows she has never tried. Alia since her link up with ranbir has started coping his exes and stoped talking abt dp seems intentional. she is pitting herself to replace dp for sure. ALia better stay wary of sara whose first movie hasnt come out yet and she just singed her third movie talk abt star kid privilege and jhanvi who is also kjo’s fav.

Aloo has to do what KJo asks her to.
@admin alia still has to do kjo bidding ??really even after all her success ? one would assumes that after 5 years and all the hits she would on directors top picks and should start being independent of kjo the girl is ambitious enough why wont she try to branch out on her own now while keeping kjo close by ?
Ok, I’m OT here – but admins, you’re missing an opportunity to call our “young” star Biryani. Goes well with Kebab Jo and Aloo Paratha, don’t you think? 🙂
Why Briyani?
Hi Admin,
I am particularly intrigued by the recent sports scandal. The well known sports journo who has been sexually harassing women since past 8 yrs now being expelled aftr being exposed in social media albeit without naming him there. Name was revealed to BCCI and ICC only. Who could be this person ? Would really wana know. Today there is a detailed article in Mumbai Mirror as well. Do respond. TIA
Sorry, no idea. Perhaps, someone else can help.
I don’t think Nusrat is that young actress. She is in the same age group as RK.
Masand’s blinds now a days
Amisha Patel: such a wannabe; can sleep with anyone, dies to get clicked with top actors
SSR, Karthik Aryan: arrogant after 1 hit, giving tough time to well known directors/producers, parades naked in house party
Alia/Ranbir: where is the pooja ki thaali? worship them for being so honest abt their relationship
Mr Masand; have GUTS? write abt Ranbir’s drug addiction, Ranbir Ayan, Gauri’s drug addiction, KJo Sid: u have no BALLS to touch these ppl.
PS: I rmmbr once he write abt Purab Kohli n Kumarmanglam Birla’s gay blind! THAt was a blind! he had to delete it due to pressure from Birla!
That blind was about Kumarmangalam Birla and Sharman Joshi if I remember correctly. The other pair mentioned in that blind was Yash Birla and Salil Khan.
alia/ranbir will be in it if dharma ends up producing this film its as simple as this nowadays when it comes to seeing if alia will be part of the movie. the point of this blind is just to tell that the 36 yrs old ranbir is acting like a lover in his early 20’s wanting to spend every waking second of his life with his lady love ROFL . kabab jo seriously thinks knowing both have used string linkups for PR will fall for this stupidity that these two are in love for the first time like teens eye roll.
here an idea for kjo produce a reality show titled keeping up with kapoor’s starring
neetu,ayan,rishi,alia,mahesnh bhatt, ranbir I mean kjo you get to earn money and sell them as th it couple of bw . its a circus already make it a reality show circus.
Ranbir thinks Alia needs his help to boost her career and popularity? HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Really mis masand’s old articles and blinds, those were the real gossip of tinsel town. These days masand’s blinds are least honest when they come to a-listers. It’s almost like only b-listers and less powerful and vulnerable actors/people are targeted. And even if there are blinds about a-list actors, the blinds/gossip look silly, fake and propaganda driven rather than covering real juicy gossip.
So many blinds on this movie, casting, director, his previous hit cast since Ranbir was announced as the lead actor. But why??!!
Maybe he is clashing with the director regarding the heroine simply because then there will be an exuse for him to walk out of if his preferred heroine is not casted. As per previous blind he is being brainwashed by his friends to not do this movie. Lol
all this noise by kjo and company about rk/alia/ayan/luv is all about hyping this projects but you may be ryte rk might be looking for a way out too
