Unusual suspects

Believe it or not, Paresh Rawal has been paired opposite Konkona Sen Sharma in Sanjay Chhel's next film tentatively titled Fantastic. It is being produced by Percept Pictures.

Chhel is reluctant to discuss the storyline, except for stating that in one portion of the script, he has shown "some kind of between Paresh and Konkona."

The shooting commences next month. Rahul Khanna (attempting comedy for the first time), Neha Dhupia and Javed Jafffery comprise the rest of the cast.

Meanwhile, Chhel is gearing up for the release of his Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam with Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherawat.

However, Ugly or Pagli which also focuses on Mallika Sherawat is expected to release earlier.

"So what if both the films have Mallika and both are comedies?

They're different films.. and there will be a month's gap between their release," he ends bravely .
