Imran Khan Ranbir Kapoor Offered Same Script by Kunal Kohli?

Reports  in sections  of  the media suggesting that Kunal  Kohli submitted  the  same script  to Ranbir Kapoor and Imran  Khan have intrigued not  just the  director  but  also  his  colleagues from the filmmaking fraternity who wonder why the two actors  needed to make  a public issue  of  the matter,  and if  Yashraj Films from whom Kunal is supposed to have broken away with some acrimony ,are in way behind  these 'stall' tales.

Says a director –colleague  also a part of  Yashraj once, "I wonder which is more unethical. To  give the same script to two actors or for the actors to compare notes and gloat  in the press about it?"

Kunal  is reluctant to speak on the matter. When coaxed he  finally says, "I know Ranbir would never speak to damage my project, regardless of whether he  does my film or not.Besides I did not submit the same  script to the two actors. "

That  leaves us with the question on why Imran  Khan has been comparing notes  about  his scripts  with his colleagues and  tomtomming the fact in the press when in fact Kohli says he has just finished  his script and will now  approach the  suitable actor.(Apparently  it's Saif again).

According to Kohli  he's producing  two films.One of  the subjects is to be directed by Kunal's assistant while the  other is  a political satire which he will co-produce with Big Pictures.

A theory doing  the rounds is  that sections of Yashraj  Films from where Kohli broke away last year were spreading  the rumours  in the bid to stop  top actors from working with him.

But Kunal Kohli  gives Yashraj a clean  chit. "My wife Raveena still works for Yashraj and my relations with them are cordial. Aditya Chopra is  too above all these things. But I would like to say that no   actor should disclose which project  comes to him. Have you ever heard  Mr Bachchan or Shah Rukh talking about  what they are offered? My Hum Tum went to Hrithik Roshan and Viveik Oberoi before it came to Saif. Did you  ever hear  those two  actors  talking about Hum Tum? Are you aware of how many  actors  were offered Lagaan? All these premature  efforts to talk about my cast  is just so annoying."

In brief, Imran Khan's statements suggesting that Kunal Kohli  came to him with the same script that he gave to Imran are premature and unethical.

Over to  you, Imran. (The actor remained unavailable for comment).
