Sallu’s back in court

Don’t look now, but another Bollywood director has run out of ideas and magic mushrooms. Ravi Chopra, the man who brought us such unforgettable cinematic journeys of love, death and dementia like Baabul and Baghban has decided to make a B-town version of the court room comedy, My Cousin Vinny.

He’s cast none other than actor, politician and Latin pop sensation, Govinda, as the lead. But the ball doesn’t stop there; no Ravi Chopra movie’s complete without a guest appearance from Mr. Congeniality himself, Sallu Bhai, who will be playing a lawyer in this one.

Being a good friend of Ravi, Sallu gave him shooting dates straight away and did the role for free. But Ravi, who has nothing better to do with his time and money, ordered the latest Ducati bike for Sallu for being such a pal.

So we can expect to see him tearing down Bandstand soon enough,wind and monsoon bugs ricocheting off his weaved hair. He’s already got black bucks and humans on his record; I wonder what he’s going to kill next. Given the recent events, SRK should keep his ears open for the hum of a sports bike engine and an out-of-tune solo vocal rendition of ‘Born To Be Wild’ gradually getting louder.
