Sources says that Giaa was acting way too pricey and after her starry tantrums touched sky high, the makers (Eagle Films) decided to let her go. “The show was supposed to end in this month. But it later got an extension of 50 episodes. But, since sometime Giaa has been creating issues for the production house. She has been complaining about clothes, shooting timings and what not. Finally, with things going out of hand, she got sacked,” informs sources.
When sources contacted Giaa about the same, she said, “I will talk to you and my fans when the time is right.” While other side Shivshakti remain unavailable to answer.
This is not it; the show is also facing problems from other actors. Amit Tandon, who plays Rahul on the show, has also stopped shooting. Other side makers have called the actor Karan Goddwani, who essayed Johnny back on the show.
Ali Asgar plays male protagonist on the show, which is adapted from the American sitcom I Dream Of Jeannie.
Sources have got the update that Amit will be seen in Vikram Bhatt's 3D thriller movie Creature, which is said to be on the lines of Hollywood classic Jurassic Park. Amit has truly turned out to be lucky with his debut Bollywood film as he will get to share the screen space with Bong beauty Bipasha Basu, who plays the lead role in the film. Pakistani actor Imran Abbas is playing the male lead.
"Amit is playing an important character in the film," said the associate director of the film. "Yes, I am there in Creature. It is a hectic schedule for me as I have to shoot for Jeannie Aur Juju, then I am opening my play centre, Play Around, in Mumbai on June 7 and leaving to shoot for the film in Ooty on June 8," said Amit, who has a 16 day schedule in the film.
Sources added that Amit will be seen as Arjun, one part of a couple who encounter the creature in their honeymoon. Aparnaa Bajpai, who has many commercials to her credit, is playing his wife. "I will get to do romantic, action, and horror scenes. I might also need to do some stunts," said Amit, who is confident of releasing a Punjabi album by the year end.
Wish you good luck Amit!
