DIA MIRZA TURNS PRODUCER

Actress Dia Mirza is going to join the bandwagon of actor turned producer. She debuted with the movie ‘Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein’ in 2001 opposite Madhavan and became a star overnight, although the movie did not do well at the box office.

Dia might be seen playing the role in her production venture opposite Zayed Khan. The actress is interested in making biopics. She said that the real life stories inspire her and the personalities that attract her are Bharat Natyam dancer Rukmani Devi, painter Amrita Shergill and freedom fighter Sarojini Naidu.

One of her much waited films titled ‘Johnny Mastana’ has been waiting to be released for a year. The 28 year actress said that the viewers can see her best performance till date in ‘Johnny Mastana’. She also added that the only reason of the delay is due to the tussle of rights between Twentieth Century Fox and UTV.

JESSICA ALBA : LOVELY AT THE LATE SHOW

The 29-year-old tells Tarts, “I think there is a nice balance (between “family friendly” and more adult films) but it would be fun to do more films that my daughter can see. I like finding a character who finds herself, finds strengths and actually uses her damn stilettos (for a purpose) instead of just killing her feet.”

TRISHA IN A DRUG SCANDAL

South Indian actress Trisha Krishnan, who made her Bollywood debut with Akshay Kumar-starrer 'Khatta Meetha', is angry after her name was dragged in a drug scandal and thinks it's an attempt to tarnish her image.

A recent report on a Telugu channel claimed that she is into drug abuse and is closely associated with a drug peddler from Nigeria. Trisha, on the other hand, believes that she is being dragged into this controversy only because she is a good friend of Sidney Sladen, a designer of African origin, whom the channel is accusing of being a Nigerian drug dealer.

'I was angry. This is not just a harmless rumour. The first thing I did was to get my lawyer to issue statements to all the TV channels. I've taken legal action against the channel which put this out. There is not an element of truth in it. It's strange where this story came from. I haven't been to Hyderabad for a year now. I was told this peddler knows my number. But come on, everyone knows my number,' the pretty actress said.

Trisha believes this incident is an attempt to malign her in the Telugu film industry. "The only problem is you can't pinpoint such a thing to any one source. But yes, it seems to have been done to tarnish my image. Luckily, I've got a lot of support in Hyderabad, even from the authorities."
