If there was no proof of this happening, this blind item would have been something sent out to malign this happening actor. But unfortunately, news did come out about what he did and that too from the female director. And the paper that printed this director’s interview is not even an Indian media outlet, so it cannot be that easily manipulated.

You have probably seen the trailer of this actor’s film with an actress, who has been MIA for a while now. The film is basically a Hollywood film set in India. As per the news and blind item, the actor wanted the director to cast his girlfriend in a role in this film; not the leading actress’ role but some other role. The director refused because she already signed on someone that she thought would be perfect for it.

The director is pretty pissed off at him for ditching this film and refusing to promote it. She also doesn’t know how Bollywood works, so she is just ranting to the media about what he did to her project. He has not commented on these allegations, but let’s see if he says something when the film releases in India. Obviously, he won’t be able to escape then. Maybe he wanted this to be his ‘Slumdog Millionaire’!

If that is really the reason he has refused to support this project, it’s not nice or professional of him to do that, especially when the director is a two-time cancer survivor! The blind item has the wrong information, though. It’s not the lead actress’ role that he wanted for his girlfriend, it’s another actress’ role in the film. The director mentioned that in her interview about him.

Check out the blind item from PinkVilla.

Bollywood Blind Item

This young actor refuses to promote his upcoming film because of his girlfriend

Bollywood couples are aplenty in the world of movies with Priyanka Chopra-Nick Jonas and Deepika Padukone-Ranveer Singh soon entering marital bliss. There are many young B-Town couples, but there is one in particular who have been together through thick and thin; personally and professionally.

The young actor in question has managed to win hearts without being a star kid and gave a massive hit, just a few months back. His girlfriend, also an actress is not as popular as her man. When a movie was offered to the actor, he tried to use his power to influence the makers into casting his girlfriend. However, the makers were adamant on another actress, who has been MIA for a long time. Eventually, the actor did not have a choice but to star in the film.

But revenge is a dish best served and now the actor is getting back at the makers of his upcoming film, whose release date is close. The makers are in a jiffy as the actor is dodging their calls and is refusing to promote the movie at all.

We wonder if it was a wise decision though!
