Among the various stories of luck and good fortune is one of Poonam Pandey's die-hard fan who got the chance of a lifetime to share space with her on the silver screen in her debut film <em>Nasha</em>. Wondering how? It so happened that the fan Nitin Kumar had been following Poonam Pandey religiously since the last year. When he heard that Poonam was shooting at Mahabhaleshwar for her debut film, he landed up on the sets and waited patiently for three days to catch a glimpse of the sultry actress.

One film old in Bollywood, and Mumbai-bred Hyderabad hottie Tamannaah is already acquiring quite a controversial reputation. Even before she signed on to play Sridevi’s role in Sajid Khan’s remake of <em>Himmatwala</em> the actress got into a verbal scuffle with producer Salim who demanded her mound of money as per an agreement that he alleged to have signed with the actress regarding her earnings while launching her in <em>Chand Sa Roshan Chehra</em>.

Producers Surender Suneja and Aditya Bhatia have signed Poonam Pandey for their film Nasha. Said the former Kingfisher model, "It can be Nasha of any sort. There are people who are high on life today while some need some nasha as a crutch to move along in life. The film, however, talks about the addictions of the youth, one of which is connected to the main storyline of the film. This is a film for the youth and is a coming of age film. It is a film that every moviegoer will identify with."

After fighting tooth and nail to ensure that Sridevi’s comeback vehicle English Vinglish does not budge from its release date September 21, the film’s producers have finally bowed out of the woman-centric race. Leaving the coast clear for Kareena’s <em>heroine</em> on Sept 21 English Vinglish has now moved to October 5. The decision was taken at a meeting earlier this week attended by the producers, director Gauri Shinde and Boney Kapoor.
