Is Sooraj Pancholi’s Football Film Finding It Hard To Get Takers?
Buzz is, Excel Entertainment, which was backing the actor’s sports film with Pierre Timmins at the helm, has applied brakes on the project due to lack of studio
Sooraj Pancholi has not
had a smooth sailing in Bollywood. Even before his debut film,
Hero, could hit theatres, the youngster found himself embroiled in
a legal muddle when he was charged with abetting the suicide of
actress Jiah Khan. The incident invited a lot of bad press for
Sooraj, but, he was hopeful that Hero’s success at the box-office may
rescue his reputation, personally and professionally. However that didn’t
happen as the film failed to make an impact.
Nonetheless, things began looking up for Sooraj
when he was signed on for three films one after the other -- Remo
D’Souza’s next with Ajay Devgn, choreographer Bosco Martis’s Circus
and debutant director Pierre Timmins’s sports film.
But it looks like it will be a while before things
fall into place for the actor. Buzz is, Excel has applied brakes on
Pierre Timmins’s film for some time. Reason? They are yet to get a
studio on board.
Sooraj has been prepping for the film for a while
now (In Pics: Sooraj Pancholi’s football prep up for Pierre
Timmins’s film, August 23) and was to continue doing so for the
next few months. Now, he will have to wait a bit before he resumes
his football lessons.
His other projects too seem to be in limbo. His
film with Bosco does not seem to be making any progress as the
choreographer has not made an official announcement about the
project yet.
Goes to prove that Bollywood can be a tough place
even if you are a star kid.
