This
Is
The
Photoshoot
Which
Kangana
Was
Talking
About..
We
also
got
our
hands
on
an
old
interview
of
Pahlaj
Nihalani,
in
which
he
had
talked
about
launching
Kangana.
In
a
2009
interview
with
Mumbai
Mirror,
Pahlaj
Nihalani
had
said,
"Yes
it
is
true
that
I
was
supposed
to
launch
Kangana
in
I
Love
You
Boss.
Deepak
Shivdasani
was
the
director.
In
fact
I
had
spent
29
lakhs
only
for
the
publicity
of
the
film."
Nihalani:
I
Knew
Kangana
Is
A
Star
Material
"We
had
also
spoken
to
Amitabh
Bachchan
for
the
lead
role
but
he
has
just
heard
a
similar
subject
which
later
on
went
on
to
become
Cheeni
Kum.
Thereafter,
we
were
on
talks
with
Shatrughan
and
Rishi
Kapoor.
I
had
met
Kangana
at
Rikku's
office
and
knew
from
the
onset
that
she
was
star
material."
He
Further
Added..
In
this
old
interview,
Pahlaj
Nihalani
had
also
said
that
Aditya
Pancholi
and
Zarina
Wahab
had
approached
him
for
Kangana.
"Even
Aditya
Pancholi
and
Zarina
Wahab
had
approached
me
for
her.
However
I
guess
later
she
met
Mahesh
Bhatt,
who
decided
to
launch
her
(Gangster)
and
that's
why
she
opted
out
of
my
film."
Kangana
Treats
Me
With
Respect:
Pahlaj
Nihalani
"Later,
she
did
come
to
me
saying
that
she
wants
to
work
with
me
in
some
other
film.
I
had
no
contract
with
her
and
I
am
not
a
producer
who
would
work
with
an
actor
if
he
or
she
does
not
want
to
work
with
me.
But
thereafter,
she
has
always
been
cordial
with
me
and
treats
me
with
respect
so
I
have
no
ill
feelings
towards
her,"
had
said
Nihalani.
At
That
Time,
Kangana's
Real
Age
Also
Became
A
Controversy
When
Pahlaj
Nihalani
was
asked
to
comment
on
her
age,
he
had
said,
"A
woman's
age
in
Bollywood
is
never
above
21-22."
Cut
To
Present
Pahlani
has
recently
expressed
his
disappointment
over
Kangana's
interview
over
her
bold
photoshoot
and
had
said,
"I
am
also
a
victim
of
her
accusations.
I
remember
an
incident
when
Kangana
had
issues
with
her
passport
since
she
had
signed
a
film
with
Sidhwani
and
she
had
to
go
abroad
for
the
shoot."
He
Had
Further
Added..
"I
had
come
forward
to
help
her.
She
had
filled
in
her
age
and
address
wrongly
in
the
passport
form.
What
more
can
I
say?
Kangana
has
been
thankless
to
all
who
helped
her
and
I
am
one
of
them."
