Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's much awaited comeback movie, Jazbaa has landed itself in legal trouble owing to director Sanjay Gupta. The director has filed a defamation and mental harassment case on producer Vinod who is demanding to be listed as producer of Jazbaa movie even though he has not invested any money in this project. Producer Vinod had approached Sanjay way back in April 2014 and given him token advance of Rs 49.5 lakh to work on a film called Delhi Ka Thug with Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood and Boman Irani. The project got shelved owing to insufficient funds. Sanjay never got compensated for his time spent on the project and so producer Vinod never asked for the money back as he felt Sanjay invested a lot of time in developing the project and didn't even take up any other film at the time. With the Jazbaa film starting, Vinod thinks that his money is being used in this film and that's why he has been demanding his money back or wants credit as the producer of the film.Owing to this Sanjay has filed a case with the Versova police against Vinod Bachchan for extortion, defamation and cheating.

Nikhil Advani's next is supposedly hanging in balance as Hrithik Roshan is yet to confirm his participation. A couple of months ago, there was a great deal of speculation about Nikhil Advani having signed Hrithik Roshan for a film tentatively titled 'Bazaar', although there was no official confirmation. Sources close to the project suggest that the actor has so far remained non-committal, keeping the director on the tenterhooks. A source says, "Nikhil met him some time ago and casually mentioned his next project to him. Hrithik liked the concept and showed interest to do the film. So, ever since Nikhil has been waiting for him to devote time for a detailed discussion on the script. The film revolves around the stock exchange market and will require two heroes. So, once he gets Hrithik's nod, he can go ahead with the casting for the other actor."

While many were expecting another romantic comedy from Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut after the hugely successful 'Tanu Weds Manu Returns', she says her forthcoming film 'Katti Batti' is an 'intense' film, which does not focus on 'live-in relationships at all'.'Katti Batti' is not based on live-in relationships at all. People are assuming many things about this film. Live in is one of the stages that the lead pair are going through and probably it is a part of the film for three minutes that too is through a song. So, 'Katti Batti' is not about live-in and I myself don't know anything about live-in so it's better I shouldn't say anything on it," Kangana, who was here on Thursday to promote the film, told IANS. The actress also said that she played the 'most intense character' of her career in the Nikhil Advani directorial. "This has been the most intense character I have ever played. The promos and songs of 'Katti Batti' don't give the idea about the intensity that the film carries. I suggested to the makers if we can take out promos that can tell the kind of depth and intensity that 'Katti Batti' holds, but they didn't take any of my advice and everything looks happy go lucky. But 'Katti Batti' is a very intense film," she said.
