Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the director of Devdas, has added a special dance number to the film which will have the lead female stars-- Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai compete with each other. The two who play Chandramukhi and Paro even share some acidic dialogues.

The song has been meticulously choreographed by Saroj Khan to give both the stars equal footage. Apparently, Bhansali was compelled to bring Madhuri and Aishwarya together in the dance item to cater to the demands of his distributors.

Eventhough Chandramukhi and Paro do not meet in the original Bengali novel writtn by Sarat Chandra Chatterjee, we are sure that they will definitely set the screen ablaze together.

Khan-Rampal conflict

Salman Khan and Arjun Rampal have their swords drawn. Although, there's no plausible reason for the conflict, we hear Khan's ego was to blame.

Salman was keen to launch brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri as a full-fledged director. And was also keen that Aishwarya Rai would star opposite him in the lead. However, the script demanded another hero to play the parallel lead with Salman. The first option obviously was Ajay Devgan but after he turned the offer down, Arjun Rampal was the next choice.

Salman personally discussed the project with Arjun. But Arjun decided that he didn't want to be associated with the film which has hurt Salman's ego.

Jeetendra-Tusshar star together

Jeetendra is all set to appear in a film, Kya Pyaar Karoge Mujhse, along with Tusshar Kapoor. The film is to to be made under the Siddhivinayak banner and will be directed by Anurag Basu. The film will also star Esha Deol and newcomer Natasha.

The last film made under this banner was the BO dud, Kyonkii Main Jhuth Nahin Bolta.

Priyadarshan selects SRK for next

Despite the debacle of Yeh Teraa Ghar Yeh Meraa Ghar, Priyadarshan is geared up for another remake -- a copy of his Malayalam hit, Thalavattam, which starred Mohanlal in the lead.

And the surprise is that Priyadarshan has selected Shah Rukh Khan for Mohanlal's role. Aishwarya Rai and Karriena Kapoor have also been cast as the female leads.
