“My driver feels sort of unwanted, left out” revealed Prachi Desai during a visit to Bengaluru last month. The pretty lass was in the Garden City to inaugurate a power tool manufacturer’s first Do It Yourself (DIY) experiential store in the country. Prachi is the ambassador for the brand.

Starring: <strong> John Abraham, Chitrangda Singh, Prachi Desai, Raima Sen, Mini Mathur</strong> Directed by <strong>Kapil Sharma</strong> Rating: <strong> ***</strong> What do you with a self-obsessed guy like Ishaan who shoulders no responsibility except that to his iron-board torso and matinee-idol posturing, who takes everyone from Mom, Sis and Girlfriend to success, friendship and karma for granted? John Abraham plays the kind of narcissist whose life is just waiting to fall apart. It does, soon enough leaving him...well, high and not quite dry.

Prachi Desai, who was last seen in Bol Bachchan with Ajay Devgn and Abhishek Bachchan, will be seen playing a princess in the third installment of Vikram Bhatt's <em>1920</em>. When we asked to spell out the details, the young actress quipped, "I am doing Vikram Bhatt's <em>1920</em>. The film is based in <em>1920</em> and we will be shooting in London. Though it’s a horror film, I will not be wearing white clothes and coloured lenses or scary make-up.”

Fresh from the success of Raaz 3 and 1920 Evil Returns, producer- director Vikram Bhatt is already planning for his next thrilling installment of the <em>1920</em> franchise under the ASA Production banner. The producer has signed Prachi Desai for the coming installment of the horror film that marks the directorial debut of Tinu Suresh Desai. On his decision to cast Prachi, Bhatt said, “The girl in the film belongs to a royal family and Prachi is someone who looks extremely classy and dignified. She has that allure of royalty.”

Our leading men’s leading ladies are becoming progressively misleading. Sanjay Dutt who turned 53 this month would be romancing the 24-year old Prachi Desai in his new cops film <em>Thanedaar Returns</em>. And to ensure that the age difference doesn’t jar, the script is being modified to justify the gap of 29 years between the hero and heroine. The last time there was such a yawning gap between the lead pair was when Anil Kapoor played Kareena Kapoor’s husband in <em>Bewafaa</em>. And there the age gap was justified by the fact that Kareena was Anil’s second wife in the film.
