Holi Partnership

Ekta Kapoor and Sanjay Gupta, while enjoying Holi festivities, celebrated their joint venture Shootout At Lokhandwala Part 2,

While Ekta Kapoor and Sanjay Gupta celebrated Holi yesterday afternoon (see more pics on right), we learn that the duo have more than colour balloons hidden under their sleeves. The speculations that Kapoor and Gupta would collaborate again for their sequel to Shootout At Lokhandwala, based on the real life shootout at Lokhandwala in 1991, has finally been made official. Although the original movie did fairly well at the box office in 2007, Kapoor and Gupta had a professional fall-out following the film’s release. Then on January 24, 2010 Mumbai Mirror broke the story about the disagreement between them over the subject for the sequel. While Kapoor wanted to base the sequel on another real life cop-gangster shootout, Gupta was reluctant to do so. Vishal and Rekha Bhardwaj join the festivities Bappa Lahiri shares a cozy moment with Salma Agha’s daughter Zara A source tells us, “All that is a thing of the past now. Kapoor and Gupta have met at a common point.” Gupta has bought the rights of a recent Hong Kong action movie for the sequel and has been spotted frequently visiting Kapoor’s office in Andheri lately. Since Gupta had a fall-out with the film’s original director Apoorva Lakhia, the sequel will be directed either by Gupta himself or a new director. We wonder which of the actors from the original film will secure a role in the sequel. The first part starred Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Tusshar Kapoor, Sunil Shetty and Arbaaz Khan. Meanwhile, at the Zoom party, Shveta Salve has too much of a ‘colourful’ day with her boyfriend Hermit Singh. Nov 27 we caught them locking lips, perhaps that wasn’t enough
