Split Image Pictures brings together Bollywood and Hollywood to creat India’s first creature - feature film with the most stunning, never-before seen effects.

After contemplating and varying on a lot of working titles, the Bollywood-Hollywood film starring Mallika Sherwat and Irfan Khan will now be officially called ‘Hissss’. Produced by Vikram Singh & Govind Menon of Split Image Pictures & Directed by renowned Hollywood director Jennifer Lynch, the movie has been in news lately for its interesting amalgamation of top technicians of the west and the superstars of our Bollywood industry.

In Ravi Chopra’s Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai, Tabu shall be playing a naughty lawyer. The acclaimed actress has never played a completely over the top sensuous character before and is excited to play the part in this Hollywood comedy, My Cousin Vinny’s Bollywood remake.

Our source informs, “Ravi Chopra managed to convince Tabu in playing a sexy character for his next, Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai. When she was first offered the part by him she had declined it. But after a lot of deliberation, Chopra managed to get the Namesake starlet going in for the role. The role requires Tabu to expose her body. But since the film is a comedy she won’t be presented in a vulgar manner.”

Two back to back failures - Ugly Aur Pagli and Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam have brought Mallika Sherawat’s soaring market price down!

An industry source revealed, “She had begun quoting 1 to 1.5 crore per film post the success of Welcome. She was expecting both Ugly Aur Pagli and MGMA to become hits but well fate had something else in store for her. Not only both these films flopped badly but also got her acting severe criticism from all quarters! This has been a major set back for her in terms of demanding the price she wanted for herself. Now with these two massive flops in a row, producers are being vary of negotiating any price with her beyond Rs. 75 lakhs. Mallika too has been left with no choice but comply with it without being the snooty self that she had been for last few months!”

It’s time now. Stand up. Stay silent for few moments. Why! It’s time to tribute to Kundan Shah’s ironic tour de force ‘Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron’, although quite ironically. That’s how Sanjay Chhel’s ‘Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam’ can be described in a nutshell.
