Eyecatchers
High
Slot
 If
it happens, it will be a king-sized tribute. Thirty years after the death
of Jaipur's Maharaja Sawai Mansingh - Rajmata Gayatri Devi's late
husband - his statue may finally find its pride of place in the city.
Jaipur's Shri Rajput Sabha has commissioned its making, but the Rajmata
is still "awaiting a final approval from the state". Time yet
to ride high.

 Promos
of one are barely out of the way, but here comes another. Salman Khan,
Rani  Mukherjee
and Preity Zinta, public pals since their last film together (Har
Dil Jo Pyar Karega) only four months ago, are playing winsome-threesome
again-in Abbas Mustan's forthcoming Chori Chori Chupke Chupke.
Deja vu? No, says producer Nazim Rizvi, insisting the trio were signed
before HDJPK. "They make a great team. In the film, they literally
play hide and seek with each other." More on CCCC: "It's a love-triangle."
Heard that one before. Now tell us something new, chori chori.
Roll
Call
 Ash,
Sush, make way. Ramp queens Lisa  Ray,
Yukta Mookhey and Aditi Govitrikar are ready to roll. Ray's
debut film Kasoor will be out in January and Govitrikar's "challenging"
Soch in April. Mookhey is "meeting a lot of filmmakers"
but will tell who only in December. Sure shots? Kasoor director Vikram
Bhatt swears "Lisa is brilliant". On your marks, beauties.
Just
Like Papa
Subhash
Ghai played godfather to his father. Now he's doing it for him. Ghai has
signed on Tiger, Jackie Shroff's "coy"10-year-old son,
to play his film's lead man when he turns 16. Though Mom Ayesha wants
him to "complete school first", papa Shroff, who Ghai launched
in Hero, is "elated" as "Ghai will turn him into
a real actor". Tiger plays his racing cars today. God knows what
he will play at 16.
