Bollywood's date fight: Deepika, Sonakshi, Anushkha, Jacqueline face-off
Manash Carrnad/Sanskriti Media and Entertainment.
acqueline Fernandez, Deepika Padukone, Anushkha Sharma and Sonakshi
Sinha are four actresses from Bollywood who are extremely upset these
days and the reason is the same… No, they do not have the same date, but
they have a problem with dates.
The actresses have been approached for various films and shows and the
dates are clashing and it is time to choose what will benefit them the
most. 2014 will see all the four actresses fighting for dates, trying to
shuffle and shuttle between one project to another and perhaps drop a
very important project opting for what they feel is a more important
one.
Jacqueline Fernandez
Let us talk about Jacqueline Fernandez first. The Kick heroine has to
kick off well this year and she has to choose between Salman Khan and
Shah Rukh Khan. That certainly seems to be a wonderful position to be
in, because the grass is always greener on the other side.
Jacqueline’s film Kick with Salman Khan gets underway soon and she plays
the female lead in the film and the poster has her well positioned too.
The film also marks the directorial debut of producer Sajid Nadiadwala.
And then in the middle of February, there is a Malaysia chapter of
Temptation Reloaded where she gets to gyrate with Shah Rukh Khan. The
temptation may be strong enough, but she has danced with him earlier in
Australia and the attraction may not be as great as about acting with
Salman Khan.
Having said that, Jacqueline is desperately trying to coax her
producer-director to let her go for a few days and it seems unlikely
that Sajid and Salman will let her go. A couple of hugs between the
Khans have not really changed things around.
Deepika Padukone
Bollywood’s Numero Uno heroine Deepika Padukone is also a victim of
dates. The actress finds herself sandwiched between Salman Khan and
Ranbir Kapoor.
Sooraj Barjatya wants to cast Deepika in his film Bade Bhaiyya opposite
Salman Khan and Deepika already has committed to Imtiaz Ali for a film
opposite her old love Ranbir Kapoor.
There are no sparks flying today between old flames, but then Deepika
considers Imtiaz a good friend and often takes his advice too. Having
worked in a Love Aaj Kal earlier with Imtiaz and having delivered a Yeh
Jawaani Hai Deewani with Ranbir too, the lure of the film already is
high enough and add to that the commitment that she has done.
But then the bulk dates that Sooraj Barjatya wants are not what she has
in hand and the badminton ace’s daughter does not want to move like a
shuttlecock between two films, especially when she has been desperate to
work with Salman too. “The three people I want to work with are Aamir
Khan, Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan, but I am hoping to tick them out,”
was her recent refrain.
Anushka Sharma
Band Bajaa Baraat babe Anushka Sharma also seems to be a victim of the
date story. The actress has two films releasing one after the other. PK
with Aamir Khan and Bombay Velvet with Ranbir Kapoor.y And both these
films have makers like Rajkumar Hirani and Anurag Kashyap attached to
them respectively.
The Vinod Chopra produced PK was earlier slated to release in June and
now the film is releasing in December. And that is the same time that
the Fox Star produced Bombay Velvet will have its velvet red carpet. And
Anushka will need to decide whether she wants which film gets the
better deal and she cannot do much about the film that gets the shorter
end of the straw.
Sonakshi Sinha
Sonakshi Sinha is no stranger to a story that Anushka finds herself in.
But then she will be ina tougher position as she finds herself with two
releases on the same day.
Action Jackson with Ajay Devgn and Holiday with Akshay Kumar stars Sona
in the lead role and she has to devote more time to one film. She did
promote R Rajkumar more than Bullet Raja and the result is there for all
to see. Hence both Action Jacksons will clamour for Sona’s dates and
she may be able to date just one.
