It is a lesser known fact that Bigg Boss 19 contestant and former beauty pageant winner Nehal Chudasma has been trying her luck in Hindi films since quite a long time. Nehal, who shot a film titled Laila Manju is directed by Main Aur Mrs Khanna (2009) fame Prem Soni, was stalled citing no buyers for it, both theatrical and OTT.
It all began when director Prem joined hands with Remo Dsouza in 2020 and the latter came on board as a presenter. The film was ready on the edit table but Prem was struggling to release it. Just after Covid-19 had hit the film industry, Prem decided to release the film on an OTT platform.
The film COP (cost of production) is around 20 crores and no platform was offering more than 9 crores. After facing several rejections, the association of Prem and Remo fell apart as Remo stepped down as a presenter.
