The new director Abninay Deo who has the experience of directing 350 advertisements behind him and the other main creative brains behind the project have now the task of finalizing the actors who will enact the main three roles of 'Delhi Belly'. It stale news that Ranbir Kapoor is no longer in the project and the names of the lead actors of 'Delhi Belly' can be expected to come out in the media soon. The film attracted the media attention not only because it was announced as an Aamir Khan Production. The news that foreign director Robert Nylund was the man in charge of direction and later on Ad film maker Abhjinay Deo replacing him resulted in the film's name staying in the main filmy headlines for some days. The consideration of Ranbir Kapoor and the acclaimed actress Chitrangada Singh for the roles in the film also created more hype as Chitrangada was back into B-Town after a long break. The movie will be scrutinized for the potential of the new director as Aamir Khan himself has selected Abhinay to be the captain of the ship. Aamir Khan selected the ad man after seeing some of his advertisements and decided that he is the guy with the right attitude to be the director. The makers are almost near to deciding on the final three lead actors as the auditions and other tests have been over and three actors for each role have been selected. Now what is left is to fix up the final three actors. The action comedy although to be shot in Delhi with Indian actors will be in English and it is said as a film that targets the international audience. When it is an Aamir Khan production we can expect something fresh. Well we will hope so.

Delhi people don’t stop to watch film shooting: Vidya Balan
Vidya Balan has discovered a new side to Delhi. During her extensive shoot in the capital for No One Killed Jessica,the Bollywood star walked through crowded streets and markets, even in old Delhi, and was quite surprised to find that people did not stop to watch the shooting. Delhiwallahs are as busy as Mumbaikars, the actress said. “I always thought Delhi was a bit more relaxed than Mumbai where nobody walks aaram se (in a relaxed way). But through my walks in Delhi during the shoot of ‘No One Killed Jessica’, I realised that people don’t have time to look at you. Life is as fast-paced here as in Mumbai,” said Vidya. The 32-year-old essays the role of Sabrina Lall in the film, based on the murder case of model Jessica Lall, who was shot dead by Manu Sharma in 1999. For many scenes, Vidya had to shoot in perennially crowded areas like Connaught Place and Bhikaji Cama Place in the capital, but says she was surprised that no one waited to see the shooting, unlike earlier times. “I give complete leeway to the fact that I was dressed differently – very plain and simply. I saw a mad rush of people in CP and Bhikaji Cama, but people didn’t have time to stop and look at us. I had always heard that Mumbai is more used to stars and Delhi isn’t used to stars, but even here, no one cared! This is one new side of Delhi that I got to explore,” she added. Vidya spent a-month-and-a-half shooting in Delhi for the Rajkumar Gupta film, and says the experience was heart-warming. The film releases Friday. “I actually walked through the streets of Delhi for the film. It’s been a different and heart-warming experience because it wasn’t like just shooting in one location. I had to walk through streets wearing absolutely plain clothes and shoot with hidden cameras to look like one of the people in the crowd. “I won’t be able to specify the streets I traversed, but I know I have been through both – Puraani Dilli and New Delhi. I have really explored Delhi like I could never have done alone and I don’t think any Delhiite has explored Delhi the way I did during this shoot,” she said, sounding overwhelmed. The actress who hails from Tamil Nadu loves Delhi’s winter. “It always feels so good to be back in Delhi, especially at this time of the year. It’s so charming… we don’t have this kind of weather in Mumbai. The streets are so much calmer during these days than the rest of the year. So I really like it.”
'Vivah'/'ASMM' benefit in Delhi/UP due to 'Dhoom 2' release issue
Dhoom' 2 hasn't released in multiplexes across Delhi, UP and regions of Haryana and the films that seem to benefit most from the situation are 'Vivah' and 'Apna Sapna Money Money'. While patrons are still flocking the single screen theatres in these states, there is still a large section of unsatisfied audience that is addicted to watch their movies in multiplexes week after week. And for this section of audience, there is a choice to pick between 'Vivah' and 'ASMM'. Also notable is the fact that 'Vivah' has maintained terrific collections in the 2nd week and the momentum seems to be in the right direction even in the 3rd week. With not much competition up North at least in the multiplexes, the film is obviously going to benefit a big deal there.
