For the last few months, rumours have been rife that Nitya Mehra, erstwhile assistant to Farhan Akhtar, is all set to turn director and that none other than Akhtar's company Excel Entertainment was to launch her.

There have also been rumours that Mehra has been approaching various actors to ask them to be part of her film but they've turned her down. The first actor she approached was Aamir Khan, who liked the script but didn't oblige. Next was Hrithik Roshan, who opted for Ashutosh Gowariker's 'Mohanjodarro' instead.

Later, we're told that Ranbir Kapoor was approached but he too said pass'. Finally, Ranveer Singh was approached but he was already committed to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Bajirao Mastani'.

Now, sources close to the production house tell us that Farhan Akhtar himself will play the leading man in Mehra's film. Let's wait and watch!

Edit: Blind was not about Nitya as Nitya wasn't his AD in Don2.

Doe, Oh Dear, Another Female Dear

There are murmurs doing the rounds in tinseltown that a much-married film director is allegedly more than just 'good friends' with his female assistant. The cat came out of the bag when another assistant director connected the dots after repeatedly spotting the filmmaker visiting his new squeeze at her apartment in the wee hours of the morning.

Incidentally, this isn't the first time the married director may have strayed. Currently in his late 30s, he's believed to have romanced at least one heroine off-screen. There were rumors not so long ago that he shared a particularly close relationship with a stunning doe-eyed actress he had acted opposite. Those stories were confirmed by the actress' now ex-boyfriend, a leading male star who discovered 'overfriendly' text messages from the director on his girlfriend's phone. It had led to a colossal fight between the couple at the time.

Neck deep in production on his latest directorial effort, an epic-sized action movie, the filmmaker has reportedly been seeing very little of his family these days. When he isn't on set, or in production meetings at his office, assistants say his car can almost always be found parked outside the building of his new girlfriend.
