The Bobby Deol hit film, Nanhe Jaisalmer, has been the talk of the town recently. It seems that director Sameer Karnik has been accused by writer Nikhil Saini for ripping off his original script. The tribunal of writers association has ruled in favor of Nikhil Saini and a final decision is expected within a day or two. Besides a large payment among other things heading Nikhil’s way, this all means that Nanhe Jaisalmer will not be released on schedule. Here’s what Nikhil had to say,

Sameer Karnik has stabbed me in the back. I never thought that he would do something like this to me. Nanhe Jaisalmer is originally my script and screenplay. I used to know him very well as he had made Kyon…..Ho Gaya Na for Boneyji. I narrated the film to him in good faith but I never knew that he would make some cosmetic changes and make his film out of it. I just came to know about it when I saw the promos and read in the newspapers about the story of a child in awe of a star.

Sameer Karnik denies the allegations and claims that his film is based on a real life story of a child in Jaisalmer in Rajasthan and has nothing to do with Saini’s story. It seems as the the writer’s tribunal has made their decision. We will have to wait and see the outcome.

Bobby Deol, child star Dwij Yadav, and director Samir Karnik were present to take pictures and answers questions for their upcoming film Nanhe Jaisalmer. The press meet was held Wednesday evening at Club Millenium in Mumbai.

The Naqaab media greet-in, which took place at the Inorbit Mall in Mumbai, started off with Akshaye Khanna and Bobby Deol introducing Urvashi Sharma, the leading lady of their soon to be released film, to the stage. Music director Pritam then entertained the crowd by singing the songs of the film. It was a media success with fans and media-types feeding off the energy from the music and upcoming film.

The Apne Premiere held  at Cinema, Versova on Thursday evening was a star-studded event. It was filled with many of the big names of Bollywood. Apne is Anil Sharma’s latest release. Among those on hand included: Shamita Shetty, Shilpa Shetty, Preity Zinta, Karan Johar, Anil Kapoor, Yash Chopra, Akshay Kumar, Sunny Deol,  Bobby Deol, Kangana Ranaut, Kareena Kapoor, Sonali Bendre, and Twinkle Khanna.

At a special viewing of Jhoom Barabar Jhoom Abhishek and Aishwarya were seen making a commotion and throwing coins at the movie screen each time Abhishek’s face was shown. What they did not realize was that their throws were short and were hitting the heads of everyone in the front row. Their cheering and horseplay was not appreciated even by the director Shaad Ali. He tried to calm them down to no avail. He had this to say about the situation:

After some time I felt like collecting those coins and throwing them back at Abhishek. He was too thrilled and did not realize that the coins were landing on our heads. They needed good aiming skills for the coins to land at the screen.

They sound very childish and other cast members like: Bobby Deol and Lara Dutta stayed indifferent and kept quiet while Preity Zinta joined in on the disturbance. Maybe the couple is still drunk off their marriage and taking it out on everyone else.
