Jiah Khan
>> Tuesday, April 21, 2009
Jiah Khan may be out of UTV Motion Pictures' 'Yahoo', but the young actress has quite a few reasons to cheer. Not only has she been roped in for a separate two-film deal by the same production house, she has also signed a three-film contract with 'Ghajini' producer Madhu Mantena.
'I think I owe her that,' said Mantena. 'Specially after the way she has been treated.' Things didn't work out between UTV and Jiah as it was felt that she didn't suit the character in 'Yahoo' opposite Shahid Kapur.'God has a unique way of evening things out. I must admit I was very low after what happened. When Madhu's call came it was like a sign from heaven,' said Jiah.
The actress has met up with the producer and one of the films that she has apparently been signed on for is the much talked-about sequel to 'Ghajini', the action hit that had Aamir Khan in the lead. But Jiah does not want to reveal much at this early stage
'It's much too early to talk about what we're doing together. But the important thing is Madhu came forward when he thought I was in a situation. UTV, whose film 'Yahoo' I lost, have also signed me for a two-film deal,' the actress said. Why sign Jiah for two films after the 'Yahoo' fiasco
'I'm too small, too new and too much of an outsider to comment on why UTV did what they did. I did work for almost two years on 'Yahoo'. I performed a very difficult dance number with Shahid. And I was very proud of matching steps with Shahid. Like I said it's not mine to question why.
Jiah has also signed Sajid Khan's 'House Full' where she has two other leading ladies - Deepika Padukone and Lara Dutta - fighting for Akshay Kumar's attention.'But I've my own track. And I get to do comedy for the first time. I was very good at comedy in acting school,' the youngster quipped.
One wonders what it is with actress Jiahn Khan. She may have bagged a two-film contract with UTV, but she has already lost out on two movies. The first, as everyone knows, is Ken Ghosh's Yahoo, starring Shahid Kapoor in the lead.
But it seems that she has been shown the door from another film as well. It seems that MF Hussian's son Owais Hussian has dropped Jiah from his directorial venture and roped in Sonal Chauhan
Jiah lost Yahoo to Genelia D'Souza and now she is believed to have lost out to the Jannat girl. Of course, neither UTV nor Owais are saying that the actress was shown the door. But where Yahoo is concerned, a considerable part of the film had already been shot and that's when Genelia stepped in.
According to reports, leading actor Shahid, a good friend of Ghosh, was not too happy with Jiah's performance in the film, which finally led to her being dropped. UTv, however, has insisted that since the script was changed, the actress decided to amicably part ways with them.
Jiah shot into limelight with Ram Gopal Verma's Nishabdh, where she was cast opposite Amitabh Bachchan. Her next release was Ghajini, where she had a part with hardly any meat in it yet one which was significant to the action in the film. It remains to be seen when she starts work on her two films with UTV.
