Bollywood’s newest on screen couple is scheduled to make a grand debut with Pritish Nandy’s Meera Bai Not Out. The buzz is that the there is some stress between the duo. It all started when Mandira learnt from Eijaz’s parents that he was nicknamed Gabbar after they fell in love with the film Sholay in 70’s. Now Mandira who is known for her sense of humour twisted the name Gabbar to Gobar (cowdung). “On the sets she called him Gobar and Eijaz didn’t like that as there were was Anil Kumble and some other important people present on the sets” says our source. Both Bedi and Khan have been on great terms through out the shooting of the film but it was that one incident that created a rift. “Mandira is a friend and I know that what she said was a joke. I’m very fond of her and that explains it all,” clarifies Eijaz. The on screen couple has been going all out to promote their upcoming film. The market for small budget films is huge. To an extent this trend of small budget films was started by Pritish Nandy, whose films have been highly acclaimed. Lets see how Meerabai Not Out fares.
