Talented Director Relieved From Rape Case

Rather what can ruin his career completely has finally walked out of his life leaving him happy. India's highest Court has finally granted relief to ace director Madhur Bhandarkar in rape case lodged by small time actress Preeti Jain.

Way back in 2004, actress Preeti Jain had lodged a complaint that Madhur Bhandarkar has raped her several times by promising a lead role in his movies. Though the director made sensational movies like Chandini Bar, Page3 and Fashion, Preeti was never a part of them. While the Apex Court was hearing the case in 2005, Preeti made a murder attempt on Madhur through contract killers.

In 2006, Police requested Court to dismiss case against Madhur, as Preeti's allegations are found false, but it took Courts all these years to relieve him. A delighted Madhur states, 'Eight years of my life has been ruined due to this false case. I thank my friends and family for their support always'. The talented filmmaker is all set to rock Bollywood with his upcoming movie 'Heroine', which has ravishing Kareena Kapoor in the lead.

Katrina roots for Aishwarya

After Madhur Bhandarkar decided to show Aishwarya Rai Bachchan the exit route from his ambitious project HEROINE, it seems Katrina Kaif is developing a new sort of fondness for the would-be mom.

According to sources, Katrina is not too happy with the way things have shaped up for Aishwarya and her film HEROINE which no longer belongs to her now.

While maintaining a guarded stand on Aishwarya's pregnancy and her exit from Madhur Bhandarkar's film, Katrina says, "We should not be too harsh about such things and should work as friends always." Though Katrina tried to mince words, but the message is loud and clear that she sees Ash's expulsion from the film a tad serious move.

Though Katrina is known to display her political correctness all the time, but this time she has come in open support of an actress whose professional dealings have raised many eyebrows among Bollywood filmmakers and especially in the Madhur Bhandarkar camp.
