Lara worked up over Blue promos
Despite bikini, actress has less footage in promos than special-appearance Katrina.
Lara Dutta is blue. And this time, it isn't her boyfriend Dino Morea who's causing her worries. Lara is miffed with the producers of Blue after seeing the rough cut of the first teaser for the film. The promo, incidentally, has more of Katrina Kaif then Lara Dutta.
This should be fine in the normal course of things, given that Kats is clearly a much bigger star than Lara. But Katrina only has a special appearance in the Akshay Kumar-Sanjay Dutt starrer. And Lara has been billed as its heroine, or at least that's what Lara was given to believe.
So, when she watched the promo, she was fuming. How could the producers focus more on someone who had done a cameo than on the person who was the star of the movie?
A source on the film said part of the reason for this was that Katrina was in a different league. "The fact is that Katrina is definitely hotter than Lara in the market."
But he added that there was another reason for a little less of Lara in the promo. And that was that there is a lot of Lara to be seen in the movie. And we're not talking about the length of her role! "She's looking hot in the bikini, and we don't want to give it out in the promo itself," said the source. And not having too many other chick scenes in the movie led to overuse of Katrina.
"Lara is feeling sidelined because now she not only has to compete with Katrina, but also Australian pop sensation Kylie Minogue," he added. He said that the Katrina 'special appearance' bit was also turning out to be a little more than that. "Initially Katrina's role was supposed to be very limited, but during the making of the film, the length of her role increased," he said.
Another factor that's troubling Lara is the fact that Akshay Kumar and Katrina share a fantastic equation. "Since Sanjay Dutt has hardly taken any interest in the film, the producers consider Akshay's opinion in every aspect. It was Akshay's idea that they use Kat in the first teaser."
Now, it's to be seen whether the production house gives in to Lara's demand and chops Kat from the promo, or retains it.
