Producer Sajid Nadiadwala is keen to rope in Neha Dhupia to play the lead opposite Akshay Kumar in his forthcoming film, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. Neha, who seems interested in Nadiadwala's offer, will debut in Harry Baweja's Qayamat (Ajay Devgan, Suniel Shetty, Sanjay Kapoor, Chunkey Pandey, Arbaaz Khan, Isha Koppikar, Riya Sen) that releases July 11.
Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, which also stars Salman Khan, will be directed by David Dhawan under the Nadiadwala Grandsons banner. The shooting for this Anees Bazmee (Aankhen, Shola Aur Shabnam, Bol Radha Bol) scripted comedy will begin in July.
Shahid-Ken reunite
After the success of Ken Ghosh's Ishq Vishk (Shahid Kapoor, Amrita Rao, Shenaz Treasurywala), Ghosh and Kapoor have been roped in for another movie by producers Tips Films.
Shahid has also been signed by the Shah brothers of Time Magnetics -- Dhirubhai, Pravin and Hasmukh -- in a yet-untitled film for which the director is yet to be decided. Shahid confirms, "I am excited about my films. I am itching to get back into action."
Time Magnetics' last film, Anil Sharma's The Hero: A Love Story Of A Spy (Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, Priyanka Chopra), fared well at the box office.
Anil in Manoj Agarwal film

Kohli, Gadhi direct Yash Chopra films again
Kunal Kohli and Sanjay Gadhi gave Yash Chopra box office duds in Mujhse Dosti Karoge (Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, Rani Mukherji) and Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai (Uday Chopra, Sanjana, Jimmy Shergill) respectively.
Yet, Chopra has decided to give them another chance. The duo have been assigned a project each for Yash Raj Films. The cast for both is yet to be finalised.
Ekta's 'K' fetish continues
Like all her projects, the title of Ekta Kapoor's next venture starts with the letter 'K'.
Her forthcoming production, directed by Santram Varma (director of her television serials, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kaahin Kissii Roz) will be called Kimberley Kottage. It stars Sohail Khan, Anita and Isha Koppikar. The film is complete.
