Bollywood choreographers and producer Vashu Bhagnani share a long (if uneven) relationship.

Failure to launch

Vashu was once supposed to launch Farah Khan and Ahmed Khan as directors. But they chose to make their directorial debut with other producers.



Now, he wants Vaibhavi Merchant to remake his 2001 Madhavan-Dia Mirza starrer Rehna Hai Terre Dil Mein. He wans Riteish Deshmukh and his son Jackky to play the roles done by Madhavan and Saif Ali Khan in the original.

Says Vashu, "I've alreadyu00a0 spoken to Vaibhavi. Right now she's very busy with her choreography. She'll do it very soon." The producer also wants to start a film school in Juhu for aspiring actors and technicians.
