Lagaan promotes cricket in UK

Actor-producer Aamir Khan's Oscar-nominated Lagaan will be screened at Warwickshire County Cricket Ground in Britain on July 4 2002.

The screening organised by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), and the British Film Institute (BFI) is an effort to maximise draw maximum attendence for the cricket matches held here, as it may be overshadowed by the upcoming football world cup to be held this year.

Pooja calls it quits

Actress-producer Pooja Bhatt has opted out of director Kaizad Gustad's Boom.

Apparently, Bhatt had some problem with the director's way of functioning.

The film will now be produced only by actor Jackie Shroff's wife Ayesha. Boom stars Jackie Shroff, Madhu Sapre, Padmalakshmi and Katrina Kaif.

Ban on Saroj Khan lifted

Ace choreographer Saroj Khan, who was banned by The Federation of Western India Cine Employees [FWICE], can now continue with her job.

A few days ago, her dancers had placed a complaint about them being underpaid by the dance master for Raj Kanwar's Ab Ke Baras which led to the ban.

Khan and her troupe have now settled the matter by mutual understanding and the ban has been lifted.
