Genelia D’Souza, who happens to play a character-oriented role in her latest film Katha, said in a press meet held recently, that she liked the way the audiences have reacted to her performance in the film. She is paired up with debutante Arun in the film, but many tout her as the hero of the film.
Produced by Gunnam Gangaraju of Just Yellow, the film is directed by Srinivasa Ranga. Saying how the film got good openings in the first week, Gangaraju said that despite the political turmoil in the state, the film still managed to draw good number to the theatres. He also said that women and children were liking the film too.
A film made like a suspense thriller, it is interesting till the end. Prakash Raj has an interesting role in the film, while everybody is liking the way the climax unfolds. After the failure of Amma Cheppindi three years ago, it is a good film in the kitty of Just Yellow.
‘Chance Pe Dance’ had been on the shelf for quite sometime after which it is now on the track, right in its post-production works. The film had undergone initial hiccups concerning the leading leady and title problems. The film was earlier titled as ‘Yahoo’ and had Jiah Khan. The gal said to have shot for 20 days after which she was unceremoniously removed from the film and the director had taken pains to edit the fresh version with Genelia D’souza. But recently Ken Ghosh found out a fault in the new copy quite recently.
During a trial run of the film for the cast and crew, they said to have noticed Jiah Khan in the background in one of the songs. Ken Ghosh panicked and had asked the operator to rewind the shot to confirm what they had seen.
“He was disappointed as he could not edit the shot as it was part of the song. The technical error can’t be reshot as they can’t make the set and get the same dancers back for the song. In fact, all the portions that Jiah had shot for were chopped or Genelia was replaced digitally,” revealed sources.
It seems the team now are in a fix as to how Jiah can be removed from the song. They are thinking to either pixilate the portion where Jiah is visible or erase her from the frame. In either case, it will be a creative liberty, sources added further.
