Tabu romances Apoorva?
Tuesday, Mar 02, 2004

Bollywood is abuzz with the news that arty actress Tabu is maha fida over young director Apoorva Lakhiya. Remember Apoorva? Yes, he is the man who made tall claims that his directorial debut MUMBAI SE AIYA MERA DOST would be another LAGAAN before the release of the film but ended up tasting disastrous flop. Sources close to Tabu say the two have been spending a lot of time together and are definitely an item. Perhaps, they have met together with good friend Abhishek Bacchan. Tabu had brief brushing affairs with Feroz Nadiadwala and Milind Soman earlier. Meanwhile Tabu is also said to have raised her remuneration. After MAQBOOL, Tabu is reportedly raised her remuneration from Rs 35 lakhs to Rs 50 lakhs. Perhaps, that is why she is now out of WHITE NOISE, Television director Vinta Nanda’s debut project. The producers refused to pay her the hefty remuneration. Wonder what she’s making with all these money? Well, she is now building a palatial house in posh Jubilee Hills area in Hyderabad, which incidentally is very near to her ‘good friend’ and actor Nagarjuna.

John lost another film!

It is not just Tabu that who is demanding huge price for films, here is another male star John Abraham who is losing films for his demand of hefty remuneration. He has lost many a films for his greed for money. Though he is yet to deliver a hit on his own, he is reportedly demanding Rs One crore per film. This irked Suneel Darshan who wanted to take John for his next film but dropped off that idea now. When John demanded Rs One crore, Dharshan reportedly retorted him saying ‘I would pay you that money only if you show me that you have at least 5 lakh fans.’

Nair to give Manisha sleepless nights

Shashilal Nair who rose to fame with his controversial film, EK CHOTISI LOVE STORY starring Manisha Koirala and her double is now planning to make his next film on her. In his new film, he tries to expose off her double standards. “She has no qualms in signing on films which have sex theme but makes hue and cry if someone comments on her sexy roles, she would put on blame on the filmmakers,” he fumes. He is now searching for a Manisha look a like heroine.
