UTV, Jiah Khan ink two-film deal
MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Jiah Khan has signed a two-film deal with UTV Motion Pictures.
Said Khan, “UTV has signed me for two of their future films to be started later this year.”
Meanwhile, the company has also clarified on rumours about the actress being dropped from Ken Gosh‘s next Yahoo with UTV. “Speculations in the industry about Jiah being dropped from Ken‘s project are completely erroneous. It was a mutual decision whereby Jiah opted out of the project with the character not suiting her,” said UTV Rampage Motion Pictures COO Ram Mirchandani.
Clearing her stance, Jiah said, “After the changes they made in the script, I felt that I don‘t suit the character.”
In Yahoo, Shahid Kapur features as the lead protagonist.
