The blind item below speaks of a situation that has already been reported by Rajeev Masand. It seems that perhaps this young actor is still reeling over the shock that the director he has worked with the most and has given hits with the most will not take him in his next project. Director went with an upgrade the minute he got the chance to without even thinking about the young actor. That’s how it is in this industry. One actor always try to take some other actor’s work.

Speaking of the actor, who is replacing the young actor, it’s just baffling how he is still getting big budget films. It’s not surprising he is getting films, but big budget ones? Do they want to go bankrupt or something? This reminds us of the time Abhishek Bachchan felt confident enough to do ‘Drona’. We all know what happened to that one, aside from the Bachchan parivaar and Priyanka Chopra, no one watched the film. Who in the world thought that it was a smart idea to hire AB Jr in a big budget superhero film?

It is a big risk to be taking this actor now because he has not had a steady time at the box office. Speaking of steady time, this is why he keeps himself in the news. The more the media talk about him, the more people will remember who he is. You guys remember Imran Khan? Know where he is now and what he is up to? No! Exactly. This is why this actor is doing: staying in the news, good or bad. This is the only reason why we can think of that people are still signing him up for big projects and paying him lots of money. Because he is still relevant, very much relevant. He might not have had a hit film in a while, but people still know who he is and the media just loves him! The latter is especially strange considering how he mistreated them in the past. Wonder if some dough had something to do with the changed perspective on this actor!

It was just in the news today that some brand signed him for 6 crore! The guy, who looks like he hasn’t had a decent meal or a nice shower/shave, got a 6 crore offer! Quite something!

If you see the dots now connecting to this actor, you will notice how everyone close to him is playing the PR game. Meaning, they are all going along for the ride because they all have something to gain from it.

Enough ranting, just check out the blind item from PinkVilla below.

Director replaces his actor-friend with an A-lister in his next movie, leaves the former bummed

For a director, when a movie does better than expected, their worth immediately increases. With that success, the director is bound to be approached by many other actors who flock to such filmmakers hoping to work with them. How does it matter if you initially did not give them the time of the day?

Such is the case with this filmmaker who recently gave a hit which surprised the industry too. The movie in question featured his favourite actor and close friend who has worked with him before.

The director’s next is a two-hero film and this recently emerged star was sure that he would be one of the leads. And rightly so, because the filmmaker had him believed as well. However, when an A-List actor, who is desperate for a hit himself given his recent string of flops came knocking, it was an offer that the director could not refuse.

Hence, in a betrayal of sorts, the A-List actor has officially been confirmed for the movie and will be starring alongside another A-Lister who has never worked with the director either.
