Mumbai, Oct 4 (IANS) Veteran filmmaker B.R. Chopra, who believes in registering movie titles well in advance, is facing a title dilemma for his new film starring Govinda.Chopra said: "Actually I have an appropriate title for my new film with Govinda. It's 'Pappu Paas Ho Gaya'. It suits the theme and the mood of the film."

However, there is one hitch. "Recently, I gave the title to another producer. And he was allowed to call his film 'Phir Pappu Paas Ho Gaya'. That film came and went, and practically no one seems to have heard of it. So I'm in two minds. Should I go ahead with the title or not use it since it's been used so recently?"

Chopra's new film brings together Govinda and Lara Dutta for the first time.

Rajpal Yadav is back in Rakesh Roshan's good books

After a hiatus, Rajpal Yadav is returning to the big screen with Rakesh Roshan's "Krazy 4" for which the actor is busy shooting.

"I play one of the four 'crazy' characters in the film. And the best part of this experience is my co-stars. Irrfan Khan is a senior colleague whom I really respect, Arshad Warsi I've worked with and like immensely. Suresh Menon is a dear friend. We've all met so many times we feel very comfortable with each other," said Yadav.

Interestingly, Rajpal had politely declined to do the role of Hrithik Roshan's sidekick in Roshan's "Krissh" and the filmmaker was none too pleased with him.

"But that's a thing of the past. Rakeshji is not only a successful filmmaker, he has also been a popular hero. He knows the compulsions of an actor. I had genuine problems with the Krissh role. When Rakeshji called me for 'Krazy 4' he was really sweet. I love the working atmosphere in his production house and crave for more such organized units. I'm really looking forward to starting work on 'Krazy 4'," Yadav said.

Sanjay Gupta to put up cut-outs of 'Dus Kahaniyan' stars

Remember those small-town fairs where professional photographers in small tents with over-sized cameras clicked pictures of you with cardboard cut-outs of your favourite actors? If Sanjay Gupta has his way he would bring back those days.

Gupta said: "What I intend to do is to put up life-size cardboard cut-outs 30 feet in length and eight feet in height of all the stars from 'Dus Kahaniyan'. Each of these cut-outs will be put up at multiplexes. There will be a gap next to every star in the cut-out for the viewer to accommodate himself and get himself photographed with his favourite actor. In fact a whole family or group of friends can get themselves photographed with the stars at various positions using the cut-out."

He dismissed suggestions that his idea is old-fashioned and said: "As a child I remember posing in a studio with Dharmendra. You watch how this old-fashioned idea catches on like wildfire. This is the era of cell-phone cameras. So everyone can click in an instant. This is going to be put up at IMAX and other big multiplexes. It's a little bit of added masti for cinegoers."
