Arjun Rampal in a Big Dilemma

Posted by admin on Sep 4th, 2010 | 0 comments

Arjun Rampal may be having a great year as far as his movies are concerned but he is in a dilemma as two film-makers are fighting over him to cast him in their movies and that also for the same subject and the same role!

Directors Abbas Mustan and Sanjay Gupta have been fighting over casting Arjun Rampal for the remake of the Spanish action thriller “Ladron Que Roba a Ladron. (To Rob a Thief)” Both of them approached the hunky actor with the same role for the same movie. The name of Abbas Mustan’s movie will be ‘Players’ while Sanjay Gupta has named it ‘Jahan Teri Yeh Nazar Hai’.

Arjun, playing safe, remarked, “I don’t know the details of any of the two films but I am supposed to meet Abbas-Mustan and Gupta.” Sanjay Gupta had planned on a lineup of actors, Arjun being one of them and when he came to know that Abbas Mustan is also doing the same with the same role for Arjun, he was livid.

Apart from the fight over Arjun, there is also debate about the rights of the film and who has actually claimed it. Sanjay Gupta says, “I fail to fathom why Abbas-Mustan and the producer of their film Ketan Maru are so stubborn about this whole thing. I have clearly told them that I have purchased the rights (from the original producer Lion Gate Films). They just refuse to understand!”

He adds “I have been pressurised by many people in the industry to part with the rights and hand them over to Abbas-Mustan. But I am not going to bow down.” Producer Ketan Maru conforms that his creative team also approached Arjun. “Yes, we have approached Arjun and there is some confusion that prevails on our film. But we’ll sort it out.”
