Veena Malik makes ‘Dirty Picture’ producer lose Rs 650,000
Monday, May 21st, 2012 3:12:35 by Imran Shaukat KhanThe controversial queen of Pakistan, Veena Malik, will be seen playing a lead role in the remake of Milan Luthria’s ‘The Dirty Picture’, ‘Dirty Picture Sakath Hot Maga’. However, the film is facing a lot of problems before the start due to Malik’s visa problems.
The Pakistani starlet, who rose to fame during her stint in the ‘Bigg Boss’ house, was failed to appear at the press meet in Bangalore on May 18 since she CBI wanted her to be present at their Mumbai office, before going anywhere else for the shooting.
Director Trishul who was in constant touch with her manager explains, “We have made at least a hundred calls both the sides only to know that she could not make it. She had applied for visa for two places — Bangalore and Goa. She got an approval for Goa but they had some issues with her visiting Bangalore.
The director further added that normally Malik manager deals with all visa problems but this time they called her. He said CBI granted her visa but they previously had some issues with her visiting Bangalore.
Meanwhile, the producer of the film, Venkatappa, lost almost Rs 650,000 because of Malik’s absence as he had arranged a huge set up at Abhay Naidu Studio only for the photo shoot. Nevertheless, Venkatappa says Veena is ready to pay for the consequences.
“She could not make it on time and we could not postpone the meet to next day as we had to dismantle the set because the studio was booked for another movie. Apart from that, we had to cancel the hotel bookings too,” he said.
“This time we will not call the media till she reaches Bangalore. I hope there will be no more hiccups from now on. We are in constant touch with her. She has assured us that she will not miss out on anything the next time,” he said.
