Vikram Bhatt searching for Ms Right
Vikram Bhatt is searching for Ms Right not for himself but for his next film.
Vikram Bhatt is on a look out for a new female face for his next directorial venture Shapit where he is introduces Aditya Narayan.
Vikram searched high and low and even screen tested dozens of potential actresses but none could satisfy the intelligent director. "Vikram even flew down to London hoping that he'd find his leading lady there, but nothing materialized out of the trip," said a source close to the director.
If closely observed Vikram has a record of discovering some of the most beautiful actresses of the Indian screen. Sushmita Sen is a Vikram Bhatt protégé. He discovered her and cast her in the lead in Dastak.
Lisa Ray was Vikram Bhatt discovery too. It was Bhatt's Raaz that shot Bipasha Basu to fame and today Adah Sharma is laughing her way to success.
Behind every successful actress, there's Bhatt naturally!
Now the girl hunt has shifted to Mumbai where Vikram is searching high and low for that perfect face.
"I'm still searching for the right girl opposite Aditya Narayan. It's a dream role for any newcomer,” says Vikram.
Shilpa's hot item song for Dostana
The hot Shilpa Shetty is all set to Shut Up and Bounce. Yes that's the song of Tarun Mansukhani's Dostana that will hit the air soon.
Director Karan Johar said that Tarun and he and his entire team brainstormed tossing names of actresses who would be apt for the item.
"We finally zeroed in on Shilpa because she has the best body in town," Karan says.
"Shilpa has done a fantastic job but credit also goes to choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant and music director Vishal Shekhar,” adds Karan.
“Shilpa's number will be the introductory song along John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan. " Tarun said, "Shilpa was comfortable wearing anything for the song. We were to shoot the song in seven day but completed in four days flat."
Shilpa agreed to be a part of Dostana immediately because not only was a Karan Johar production but it also had some favourite team of co-workers like designer Manish Malhotra, Mickey Contractor for the make up and Latika for her hair.
And though her bag went missing, Shilpa along with Manish shopped at Gucci and Dolce and Gabbana.
