The Word of mAn[S]o0r

My blog description includes the words "a little gossip" of which i have posted none off.. so from here, im starting a section just on that! And what should come first but a case Hollywood copying off Bollywood! The ONE good idea bollywood's had in YEARS is now gettin copied by the west. Read the story here.

Gangster MD - Hollywood's Spin on Munna Bhai MBBS

This will be a first...of sorts.  Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding fame) is all set to direct Chris Tucker as Gangster MD, in the Hollywood version of Munna Bhai MBBS, originally played by Sanjay Dutt.  Of course, given Mira Nair's Indian origin, one can't truly say that it's mainstream Hollywood picking up a Bollywood script.  Nevertheless!  The movie plans are still being finalized and may include some of the original cast as well.  Filming is expected to begin after Tucker finishes shooting Rush Hour 3 with Jackie Chan in Paris this summer.
