Priyanka - Govinda film retitled
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,September 02 2006]
Once upon a time Govinda was a reigning star and Priyanka Chopra was a Miss World looking for a step in the right direction to movies.
This was when 'Ek Hasina Ek Deewana' happened. To be directed by K C Bokadia, it wasn't the grandest of setups for Priyanka but guess she may have found the unusual pairing to be exciting enough. With a supporting cast comprising of Shakti Kapoor, Prem Chopra, Kader Khan, Johny Lever and Sharat Saxena, she knew that she was headed for a pucca masala fare and hence would have expected a safe run.
But as luck would have had it, the film got made but never saw the light of the day. As Bokadia prepares to release another of his stuck projects 'The Challenge' [starring Sunny Deol in the lead], even 'Ek Hasina Ek Deewana' has gone for a title revamp and is now named 'Bekasoor'.
Keeping the fate of recently released 'Sandwich' in mind, even if the producers decide to release the stuck 'Bekasoor', they would have to ensure that it is publicized in a good manner and presented as a fresh project altogether.
