Ajay Devgan's secretary preparing to launch daughter
Mumbai : If Ajay Devgan's secretary-cum-producer Kumar Mangat is splurging money on his daughter Amita's launch vehicle "Haaley Dil", the Devgan family is leaving no stone unturned to make it a perfect debut for her.
Mangat, who produced last year's critically acclaimed "Omkara", is spending Rs.100 million on "Haaley Dil". Ajay is keenly scanning the list of possible actors as he has taken the responsibility of finalising the male lead.
"Since her father is his manager as well as mentor, Ajay is like a big brother to Amita," said a source.
Ajay's brother Anil is to direct the love story.
The film is expected to go on floors by the end of this month.

Abhishek's compliment made Karan's day
While shooting at Kamalistan recently for "Betiyaan Apni Ya Paraya Dhan", TV actor Karan Mehra was more than glad to bang into Abhishek Bachchan, who was also shooting at the same place for his Motorola ad.
When the duo met, the first thing Abhishek had to say was how much he liked Karan's new Mountain Dew ad. Karan was of course happy to hear that, especially coming from such a great star.
But Karan also conveyed his own share of congrats. When Abhishek inquired for what, Karan commented that the last time they had met he was single, now he was hitched!
"That was really sweet of him. We had great fun during the little while we had been shooting together," said Karan.
Karan will be soon seen in a cameo role in Abhishek starrer "Drona", which is set to release soon.

Priyadarshan upset with journos
Priyadarshan is upset with journos as even after issuing repeated media statements about the title of his forthcoming film "Bhool Bhulaiyaa", some still refer to it as "Chandramukhi".
"It's a comic thriller called 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa', not 'Chandramukhi'. And it's a re-make of the hit Malayalam film 'Manichithrathazhu'. Moreover, it is not produced by me, but by Bhushan Kumar under their banner T-Series. I hope now things clear up," said Priyadarshan.
An exciting thriller-comedy, the film revolves around conservative and superstitious people living in a small town. The film promises to reveal many dimensions of human psychology.
Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Shiney Ahuja, Amisha Patel, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav form the cast of the film, and Neeraj Vora has penned the screenplay and dialogues.
