The Delhi High Court, Yesterday (9 July), gave the green signal to Anil Kapoor produced film Shortkut - The Con Is On.

The case was settled after Kapoor agreed to pay a sum of Rs 35 lakhs to independent producer B S Bhullar who claimed to have copyright over the title of the movie. The actor’s production house Anil Kapoor Film Company agreed before Justice Reva Chetrapal to pay the amount to Bhullar.

Bhullar said that while the movie was titled Shortkut - The Con Is On, the tag line printed in red was not legible in the publicity campaign.

Producer Bhullar claimed that Kapoor had copied the title of his film. On 7 July, the High Court had issued a notice to the film company and had asked for a reply on the same.

The movie stars Akshaye Khanna, Arshad Warsi and Amrita Rao and will be released today (10 July) by Studio 18. The hearing was attended by a Studio 18 representative as Anil Kapoor is currently in the US.

Priyanka Chopra is a “good actress”, but daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai was more deserving for the Best Actress award for her work in Jodhaa Akbar at the 10th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards in Macau, says Jaya Bachchan.

“For all I know she must be really good in Fashion. I have not seen it. But I’ve seen Priyanka’s work in Dostana and liked it. She’s undoubtedly a good actress,” Jaya told.

“I don’t have any objection to her winning the award at IIFA. But I wonder why Aishwarya’s fine performance was ignored. I think she and the Jodhaa Akbar cinematographer Kiran Deohans richly deserved recognition for their work,” she added.

A lot has been said and written about Jodhaa Akbar director Ashutosh Gowariker’s comments on Priyanka not deserving the Best Actress award for her performance in Fashion at the IIFA.

Most sections of the industry have come forward to deride Gowariker for what they see as his childish and impulsive outburst.

However, the one aspect of his criticism against the IIFA jury awarding Priyanka and not Aishwarya that has raised eyebrows is his mention of Jaya on stage to substantiate his public objection.

“Priyanka, you are a very hardworking actress but I was just discussing with Jaya Jayaji why Aishwarya did not get the Best Actress award,” said Gowariker, when he came on stage to collect Best Director award for Jodhaa Akbar from Jaya, Abhishek and Aishwarya.

Surprisingly, Jaya not only stands up for Gowariker, but also gives him a clean chit for mentioning her in his speech.

“First of all it is being presumed that Ashutosh unnecessarily mentioned my name regarding Aishwarya’s omission from the awards. The fact is, I suggested he bring up the question on stage at IIFA. We were discussing why Aishwarya has not been given any award for Jodhaa Akbar and I suggested Ashutosh bring up the matter. So when he mentioned my name, he wasn’t doing anything wrong,” she said.

Commenting on Aishwarya’s performance in the film, she said, “The entire principal cast and crew of Jodhaa Akbar have been rightly nominated for the popular awards and have won also. I find it very strange that Aishwarya, who lived her part and looked every inch the royal Rajasthani queen in her body language and overall performance, was ignored.”
