Arjun Kapoor disappoints daddy Boney Kapoor

While Arjun Kapoor is basking in the glory of the success of his debut film ‘Ishaqzaade’ we know one man who is regretting not launching him, namely his father, Boney Kapoor.

According to the grapevine, after a lot of effort Boney Kapoor has found a suitable script for his son but Arjun will not be able to commit to the project because he has signed a three-film deal with Yash Raj films.
An industry insider stated that Boney took his time to come up with the right script for Arjun because he wanted his son to feature in a well-written movie with strong characters. It was just a few days ago that the concept of a contemporary romance saga struck Boney and he immediately broached the subject with his son. Unfortunately Boney had to leave with a heavy heart because Arjun had already signed a contract for three Bollywood movies with Yash Raj Films and couldn’t say yes to his father.
The insider added that YRF was stunned when their film ‘Ishaqzaade’ starring two relatively new faces, Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra, registered Dhs3.75 million at the BO on its opening day. YRF naturally seems keen to cash in on the opportunity and work on their forthcoming films with Arjun Kapoor.
The 26-year-old actor is apparently being roped in to star in another Bollywood film with Parineeti Chopra which will be directed by Pradeep Sarkar (‘Lafangey Parindey’). There is to be another project which will be helmed by Shimit Amin (‘Chak De! India’). By the end of the month, the projects will possibly be finalised.
Well, it looks like Boney Kapoor will have to wait for a long time to fulfill his dream of working with his son.

The younger Chopra bags a film opposite PC’s ex!

Priyanka Chopra might be at the top of her game but she is facing competition from the place she would have least expected – her own home! Rumour has it that PC isn’t exactly pleased with the way her younger cousin Parineeti has become the toast of the town after her act in ‘Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl’ and the promos of the much-awaited ‘Ishqzaade’ opposite Arjun Kapoor. Apparently, the young lady has bagged yet another big project in the Yash Raj camp with none other than Shahid Kapoor! 

The film will go on the floors soon and buzz is that this news hasn’t gone down well with Priyanka who has reasons to be upset. One, she has never been a Yash Raj girl despite her years in the industry. Apart from the flop ‘Pyaar Impossible’, Bollywood’s foremost production house hasn’t considered her for any film. However, what perhaps is irking her the most is that Parineeti’s next film is opposite her ex boyfriend Shahid who allegedly isn’t showing much interest in Priyanka either. Insiders say he is recommending Bipasha’s name for Siddharth Anand’s official remake of the Tom Cruise starrer Knight and Day!
Though on the surface all seems well between the cousins, there’s definitely cause for concern. Parineeti recently joked “I feel inferior when standing next to my shapely cousin (Priyanka).” And PC came back with, “I will slap her and throw her into the gym right away!” But besides the superficial camaraderie, Priyanka campers insist that she’s fuming about her cousin’s YRF coup!
