The sequel to Indra Kumar's 2004 smash hit Masti is titled Grand Masti. Bollywood Hungama got in touch with Milap Zaveri who is writing the story, screenplay and dialogues for this laughathon. Says Milap, "Yes the sequel to Masti will be called Grand Masti. There is a double meaning touch to the title as well. Masti, which released way back in 2004, was India's first sex comedy and the sequel is all set to be even more wild and wacky. Tusshar Hiranandani and myself are working on the story and screenplay while I have written the dialogues"
The film will star the naughty trio of Vivek Oberoi, Riteish Deshmukh and Aftab Shivdasani who entertained us with their sexcapades last time around. The leading ladies are yet to be finalized. The film is expected to go on floors later this year.

After Ashutosh Gowariker, another Rahman loyalist in Bollywood has had to reluctantly switch to another composer. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra who worked wonders out of Rahman in Rang De Basanti and Delhi 6 and had resolved never to work with another composer, was compelled to look towards Shankar- Ehsaan-Loy for the music of his new project Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (BMB).
"And with good reason," informs a source close to the project. "Mehra was adamant on pulling off a hat trick with Rahman. He waited for months for Rahman to accommodate BMB into his schedule. And Rahman, to his credit, tried his best. It was especially important that Rahman do BMB because of the composer's impressive record with bio-pics Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, The Legend Of Bhagat Singh, Mangal Pandey, Elizabeth. But his impossible schedules and constant travel into three continents left Rahman with little choice."
It was with a heavy heart that Rahman informed Mehra that he couldn't do BMB. That's when Mehra's 'Milkha' Farhan Akhtar stepped into the picture.
Farhan, a close friend of the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy team, has employed the trio's considerable talent in all his home production from Dil Chahta Hai to Rock On to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. It was Farhan who suggested Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy as a worthy replacement for Rahman.
Outwardly Mehra seems happy enough with the change. Says the charged director, "I've been very keen to work with Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy for many years. We go back almost 20 years. Ehsaan had composed music for my first ad film. Loy and I know each other from my student days in Delhi. Shankar's first music score for an ad film was for me. They've already composed 4 songs for Milkha. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy are going to sweep all the awards and win a million hearts with this score."
As for Rahman, Mehra refuses to comment on his quiet exeunt from Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
Earlier it was Ashutosh Gowariker who after getting resonant music in Lagaan, Swades and Jodhaa Akbar from Rahman had to switch to a new composer Sohail Sen in What's Your Raashee and Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se, both resounding flops.
Rakeysh Mehra is trying his best to re-focus on the altered musical state in his creative ambit.
The film begins shooting at the end of February and will be completed in July.

Putting to rest all the speculation behind the producers of Sudhir Mishra's dream project Mehrunissa, Nikhil Advani's Emmay Entertainment Private Limited (Emmay) and DAR Motion Pictures, today announced that they have joined hands, coming together to produce and present this project.
On producing Mehrunissa, Arun Rangachari, Chairman, DAR Capital Group, says, "Mehrunissa is today among one of the most anticipated movies within the industry being propelled and helmed by some of the best in the business. This apart, the movie perfectly matched our sensibilities of what we would define as good commercial cinema and we had absolutely no hesitation partnering in this project. It is an honour to be part of a project of this stature."
Set in the beautiful locales of Lucknow, Mehrunissa is a romantic drama with light hearted moments that track the enmity of two bitter rivals and their past bromance. Alternating between the present and the past the story deals with their actions when the love of their life returns to their world.
Commenting on his association with DAR, Nikhil Advani says, "Mehrunissa is a project that is very close to all our hearts. Being one of the most interesting and challenging films coming out of our banner this year meant that it was essential that our partner's sensibilities, vision, values, etc. were completely in sync with Sudhir and us. Our decision to partner with DAR was in this very spirit."
Director Sudhir Mishra sharing the same sentiment said, "Mehrunissa has lived with us for a very long time, and having a partner like DAR on board is an added strength. A project of this stature needs a strong foundation; DAR & Emmay provide exactly that & more".

In spite of the sleeper-hit F.A.L.T.U, Vashu Bhagnani's son Jackky's career seems stuck, first for the want of a top notch leading lady and now for a director. First it was the FA.L.T.U director Remo D'Souza who begged off from doing a sequel. Apparently, relations between the two soured during the making of F.A.L.T.U to the extent that Remo had confided to a cast member that he would not return for the FA.L.T.U sequel.
Rajkumar Santoshi who had been signed by the Bhagnanis to direct the son is directing another film with Abhay Deol in the lead.
The latest we hear is that Vashu has bought the rights of a Telugu hit Ala Modalaindi which he wants Gautham Menon to remake in Hindi with Jackky in the lead.
The original Telugu hit released in January 2011 starred Nani and was a box-office sensation. Vashu apparently insists that Menon who directed Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein for Vashu 11 years ago, do the Hindi remake of Ala Modalaindi.
Says Menon, "Yes, I've been asked to do a Telugu remake. But I am not really interested in doing that remake at this point of time. My two Hindi films so far have been remake of my own Tamil films. Besides, I am also planning to remake my Kamal Haasan starrer Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu."
In fact the producer of the original Tamil film Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu have dubbed the film Hindi and are all set to release it. The only way Menon can stop the Tamil film being released in the dubbed Hindi avatar is by agreeing to do the Hindi remake for the same producers of the original Tamil film.
Says Menon, "If I have to stop the dubbed version of Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu from being released, I've to do the remake for the same producer. So, that's the third remake in Hindi in a row for me. I remade my Minnale for Vashuji and I've just completed Ek Dewaana Tha which is also a remake. I'd rather do an original film for Vashuji and Jackky."

In spite of the sleeper-hit F.A.L.T.U, Vashu Bhagnani's son Jackky's career seems stuck, first for the want of a top notch leading lady and now for a director. First it was the FA.L.T.U director Remo D'Souza who begged off from doing a sequel. Apparently, relations between the two soured during the making of F.A.L.T.U to the extent that Remo had confided to a cast member that he would not return for the FA.L.T.U sequel.
Rajkumar Santoshi who had been signed by the Bhagnanis to direct the son is directing another film with Abhay Deol in the lead.
The latest we hear is that Vashu has bought the rights of a Telugu hit Ala Modalaindi which he wants Gautham Menon to remake in Hindi with Jackky in the lead.
The original Telugu hit released in January 2011 starred Nani and was a box-office sensation. Vashu apparently insists that Menon who directed Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein for Vashu 11 years ago, do the Hindi remake of Ala Modalaindi.
Says Menon, "Yes, I've been asked to do a Telugu remake. But I am not really interested in doing that remake at this point of time. My two Hindi films so far have been remake of my own Tamil films. Besides, I am also planning to remake my Kamal Haasan starrer Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu."
In fact the producer of the original Tamil film Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu have dubbed the film Hindi and are all set to release it. The only way Menon can stop the Tamil film being released in the dubbed Hindi avatar is by agreeing to do the Hindi remake for the same producers of the original Tamil film.
Says Menon, "If I have to stop the dubbed version of Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu from being released, I've to do the remake for the same producer. So, that's the third remake in Hindi in a row for me. I remade my Minnale for Vashuji and I've just completed Ek Dewaana Tha which is also a remake. I'd rather do an original film for Vashuji and Jackky."
