Vivek Vaswani's Dulha Mil Gaya is still held up. The film which is directed by Mudassar Aziz and stars Sushmita Sen and Fardeen Khan with Shah Rukh Khan in a special cameo, is still held up. The film has been in the making for more than two years now.
The reason for the delay is the producer's insistence on extending SRK's role in the movie. It seems that there is still one song which remains to be shot. This is a song which will star SRK, Sushmita and Fardeen. But now that SRK is out of action because of his shoulder injury, the makers will have to wait for a while. Meanwhile, the film's release is being planned for mid June this year. Incidentally, SRK is playing the role of God in the movie. He is the God of Love and reportedly shares most of his scenes with Sushmita. The actress and he last worked together in Farah Khan's directorial debut, Main Hoon Na, which was produced by SRK. One hopes for the sake of the makers that the film gets wrapped up this year and is released in time. It will also come as a breather for Sushmita, who has hardly any films on hand these days. She has already distanced herself from her forthcoming release, Karma Aur Holi, where she appears opposite ex boyfriend Randeep Hooda. So maybe Dulha Mil Gaya may help her resurrect her career, which has been singed quite badly by Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag, her last release
MUMBAI: Though actors Shah Rukh Khan
and Sushmita Sen are yet to sign on the dotted line, producer Viveck Vaswani seems set to cast them in his film Dulha Mil Gaya.
Vaswani's Insight Productions will shoot this big budget film in Trinidad and Tobago, reports Bollywood Trade.
The first Bollywood film to be shot on the Carribean island may see some known cricket players, including Brian Lara. But Vaswani has brushed aside reports that he was keen to cast Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar in a small role as "rumour".
Vaswani who is all charged about the project said: "The film has become the hottest title in the industry and we have been inundated with calls from producers asking us to part with the title."
The film marks the directorial debut of Mudassar Aziz, writer of Tanuja Chandra's Zindaggi Rocks and Mahesh Bhatt's Showbiz.
"Mudassar is keen to work with Sushmita after Zindaggi Rocks. We are planning to meet Sushmita," said Vaswani, who is just back from Trinidad after filming probable locations.
Talking about Sushmita he said: "I have known Sushmita since her first film Dastak which was released 10 years ago. I have been closely following her career since."
If Shah Rukh signs on the dotted lines, he will be featured as a rich Trinidadian millionaire.
It may be recalled that Vaswani had cast Shah Rukh in the early years of his career for Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman which was directed by Aziz Mirza.
The film was Mirza's directorial debut and made him the most sought after director and also boosted Shah Rukh's career.
Vaswani has written the story of Dulha Mil Gaya and describes it as a warm and witty film set in Trinidad that will have many firsts to its credits.
"It is one of the finest stories I have written and will be the most promising directorial debut of 2007, with Mudassar doing the screenplay, dialogues, lyrics and the direction. He is an incredible powerhouse of talent," he said.
Vaswani has decided to release the film in May 2007 and has already struck a deal for international rights of the film.
