Shiv Sainiks disrupt Tezz shoot

The unit of Venus Films' Tezz was in for a shock yesterday when some members from political group Shiv Sena stormed into the sets at Filmistan studios disrupting the shoot for a while. A song sequence featuring Mallika Sherawat was being filmed and Shiv Sainiks were objecting the presence of foreign dancers.
However, the production head explained to them that the foreigners just featured in a couple of shots as the movie is set in London. As promised, the foreigners even left after finishing their bit yesterday afternoon. Post that, the shoot went on smoothly.
Tezz directed by Priyadarshan stars Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Kangna Ranaut, Zayed Khan, Mohanlal and Sameera Reddy. The film is set for an April release.

 Ekta Kapoor was considering her blue-eyed girl Vidya Balan for their next big project 'Shootout at Wadala'. But after much delay and deliberation she is finally replaced by Kangana Ranaut in the film.
The underworld film to be directed by Sanjay Gupta has John Abraham, Anil Kapoor and Tusshar Kapoor in lead roles. "For quite some time, Vidya Balan was being considered for the female lead, to be paired opposite John Abraham. John plays the character of the notorious gangster Manya Surve and Vidya was to play his girlfriend", says a source closely associated with Balaji Films. 
However it seems like Ekta Kapoor herself was responsible for making Vidya so big with the success of The Dirty Picture that the actress wasn't sure whether she would want to do this role in the male-centric underworld drama. "So she opted out of the project but on a very amicable note and there is absolutely no bad-blood", adds the source. So the makers replaced Vidya by their other favourite - Kangana Ranaut who worked with Balaji in Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai.

Ajay Devgn has done some thrilling action sequences in his upcoming release Tezz

The promos of Priyadarshan's slick thriller Tezzhave created quite a buzz. Ajay Devgn and the rest of the cast have performed high-octane action stunts designed by Hollywood power duo Gareth Milne (Bourne Ultimatum and Bourne Identity) and Peter Pedrero (stunt co-ordinator of The Bourne Supremacy and a few action sequences from the Harry Potter series). The film also stars Anil Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut,Sameera Reddy and Zayed Khan, and has been produced by Ratan Jain. 

Says Devgn, "It's a fabulous mix of international action and Indian emotions. Films work only if they connect with the audience, and Tezz has that emotional element. It has been presented in a very stylised manner with some fabulous action."
