Lollywood Gossip

Friends again
Zara Shaikh and her choreographer-cum-designer Khawar Riaz have always shared a love-hate relationship.

Splitting and getting back together after a couple of weeks is never far from their minds. This time too, after calling it quits, Zara has once again extended the olive branch.

Apparently, the professionalism of Riaz and counselling from mutual friends convinced Zara that Riaz is truly an asset that she cannot do without.

Shopaholic unlimited
Meera is desperate to look her best in the Lollywood version of the Hindi film Devdas. After finalising the details with Feroze Khan for the role of Chandramukhi, Meera has been raiding stores and holding meetings with dress designers with renewed energy.

Cold war
Director Sangeeta has found an arch rival in Syed Noor, who is replacing her in many of her ventures. Reports says that Sangeeta was taking a break in London when she was booted out of a film project without her knowledge. This is not the first time. Syed Noor had earlier taken over the reins of the film Shareeka from Sangeeta, much to her chagrin.

Shaan's take
Shaan is planning to capitalise on his role in the hit Majajan with a vengeance. His character Majajan will be the main focus of his next movie Zill-e-Shah.

Shaan believes that Majajan, a rebel who had fought against corruption in society, had won the audience over. So a detailed narration of the same character in Zill-e-Shah has the potential to be another winner.

On the rebound?
Veena Malik is rumoured to have found love in the arms of her current co-star Adnan. According to sources, the actress, who was going steady with Babrak Shah, had a strong suspicion that Shah was two-timing her with actress Sheeba Bhagri.

Upset over the developments, Malik sought solace in Adnan and ended up finding love.

Reason to cheer
Diljeet Mirza is all set to launch his latest film Jawab. The announcement seems to have cheered up Lollywood's bigwigs, who are desperate for meaningful films. And who better than Mirza, known for his sensitive films dealing with socially-relevant themes, to herald a change in the film industry?

Debut deal
Maria Wasti, TV actress and compere, has signed on her first Lollywood venture. Known as a style icon and TV actress in her own right, Wasti had previously turned down dozens of films as she was busy with her soaps. Her debut film, titled Wapsi, will be directed by Majeed Razzaq
