It had been reported a few months back that actor Govinda and director Pahlaj Nihalani would be teaming up for Avatar, a film revolving around sports and the impact it has on youth and now it seems that Bollywood strongman Sunny Deol too has agreed to be a part of the film.

Confirming the news, Pahlaj was quoted saying that he was very keen on having Sunny Deol in the film and that the latter did not even ask about the role. Sources claim that Sunny will be seen playing the role of a sports coach in the movie. The film reportedly revolves around a bunch of rowdy college kids and how they are transformed and motivated through football.

Incidentally, this will be first time and Sunny and Govinda will be seen together in a movie, because though the two actors started their Bollywood careers a few decades back, they had not worked together throughout the years till now…

While Priyanka Chopra gets ready for the release of her Barfi!, there are old skeletons coming out of her cupboard. One of her long delayed films has gone for a title change and is now arriving as Deewana Main Deewana. The film stars, hold your breath, Govinda in the lead. Incidentally, this is the fourth title change for this near-decade old film.

"Yes, the film was earlier titled Ek Hasina Ek Deewana. After that it was called Bekasoor. Then a couple of years back it came quite close to release with the title Don't Worry. Now when the makers are actually serious about releasing it and have also released a few songs on the music channels, it is with a new name Deewana Main Deewana'", informs our source.

This is a film that Priyanka had signed when Govinda was a reigning star and she was fresh out of her Miss World stint. While she had signed The Hero and Andaaz with other two superstars Sunny Deol and Akshay Kumar respectively, even Govinda was in her wish-list. This is when director K.C. Bokadia approached her for Ek Hasina Ek Deewana and PC was game for it.

"Of course the film wasn't the grandest of setups for Priyanka but guess she may have found the unusual pairing to be exciting enough", comments an observer, "Govinda too was hunting for a new pairing post Karisma Kapoor and together they must have felt that a masala fare like this would fetch them a safe outing and also pave way for a new jodi."

However, as luck would have had it, the film was completed but never saw the light of the day. Now even though the makers feel that it may be a good idea to finally unleash the film, we doubt if either Priyanka or Govinda would indeed be willing to reveal much about it.

Govinda hasn't had a great time at the box office. His last major hit was the Salman Khan starrer Partner. However, since then he has been struggling to start his production house and hunt for a leading lady.

However, sources claim that he is keen on casting Kajal Aggarwal of Singham fame.

Reportedly, Govina has been planning a film called Dhurandar for a while. He has been on the lookout for a director for the film and has pinned up on the Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai director Rajnish Thakur.

Kajal's approval is being awaited for the film to go on floors.
