The grapevine is abuzz that some of Mahima Chaudharys producers are in for a rude shock! For, the actress has committed herself to stage shows from July 12 to August 30 in the U.S. and U.K., thereby ditching four of her producers who were preparing themselves to shoot their films.

An upset Mahima refuted the development when this writer called on her. Yes, I am committed to the shows, but I havent cancelled any of my shoots to accommodate them, she tells me, adding, I had committed to these shows way back in January and all my producers were aware that I wouldnt be shooting on those dates.

Actually, Sunil Shetty and I would be shooting for Mahesh Manjrekars TERE PYAAR KI KASAM when not participating in the shows, in the U.S.. I have wrapped up my portions for Kundan Shahs DIL HAI TUMHARA due to this reason. Only a 2-day shoot with Arjun Ramphal and one song remains to be canned.

When I signed Vashu-jis OM JAI JAGDISH, I had categorically told him of these shows because I didnt want misunderstandings later. In any case, Urmila, who also plays a lead role in the film, is participating in these shows, so the schedule will be held once we return from abroad.

As for MASTANA (Govinda), the shooting is almost complete, while the schedule of RAHEN NA RAHEN HUM (Ajay Devgan) will commence once Ajay returns from abroad. To be honest, I dont know how these rumours originated. But, believe me, there is not an iota of truth in these malicious rumours.

Her face lights up as the topic shifts to her next release, YEH TERA GHAR YEH MERA GHAR. Its a simple film, very well narrated by Priyadarshan. Its not one of those films that has a massive backdrop, like LAGAAN, but the film is shot in one house. The performances of Sunil and Paresh Rawal are simply brilliant.
