After an overwhelming response she generated for her television debut, Mona Singh was looking forward to making a foray into films. And opportunity knocked at the right time when the producer of Page 3, Bobby Pushkarna decided to launch her at a time when her show Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin, was coming to an end.

In her desire to make this nothing short of the best, she had started working out to get back into shape. But, the latest buzz doing the rounds is that the film has been shelved.

When contacted, Mona said, "I'm clueless about the happenings of the film.
For the past few months there have been no calls from the producer and even his office hasn't bothered to keep me informed about recent developments. I get the impression that the film will never take off."

Although disheartened, she is not ready to give up. "I'm not going to give up so easily. If it was just films that I wanted to do, I wouldn't have started my career with television. I'm still open to the idea of doing films. But I'll never do any B-grade films. The script has to have meat to it. I refuse to take up roles that portray me as a dumb bimbo,"she says.

Not wasting any time in moving on, Mona has started accepting work on television again and has two shows on hand.

When contacted for his version, Pushkarna, currently in London, admitted to all not being well with the film. "There are certain issues that need to be sorted out. I made a big mistake by announcing Mona as the lead actress in my film. The script has undergone some changes and that's why it got delayed by a few months. My film is on and will shortly go on floors." So does it mean that Mona won't be a part of it? "Why don't you check with her," said Pushkarna.

thanks, already posted, i feel bobby was very rude in his statements and very unprofessional, it is he who signed her and not mona who went to him for the role, so after giving her hopes for such a long time, now telling he regrets , is very disgusting on his part,

all the same , i wish mona all the best in whatever she does either in tv or movies,

thats so rude for Bobby to say something like that in public. Mona is such a good actress and she already has 2 good shows with her. Wish her all the very best !

Unprofessional approach of Bobby. Any how Mona will do her best let it be small or big screen. All the Best to Mona. She is profound and decent actress and have thrust to work. She is hardworking too.

Its not Mona who initially told about the role. It was only Bobby who announced her name. Let us get some firm news.

If Bobby "made a big mistake" in signing Mona, shouldn't he have realised this year ago and come clean about it, instead of keeping her hanging and making her face all sorts of uncomfortable questions? 😡 Very Very unprofessional!

I think she has been saved from working with such an unprofessional director. She has enough talent to get work from others.
