Abbas Tyrewala’s wife storms out

Abbas Tyrewala’s second feature film  Jhootha Hi Sahee   which  is ready  for release (it is no longer  titled 1-800-Love), has  landed  the director in  a  bit of a domestic crisis. Abbas’ wife Pakhi, who plays the lead, is reportedly disappointed by  the  length of her role. Recently after a special screening  of  the film, Pakhi stormed out of  the theatre. But not before confronting her  visibly-crestfallen  husband.

“Where am I in  the film ?” she was heard asking Abbas loudly after the  first 20 minutes of the  film were over.

Says  a  member of   the team  that  viewed  the film. “It’s true. The  film’s leading lady appears 30 minutes into the narration. And Pakhi was very upset.” When contacted Abbas said, “Well, Pakhi did have certain issues. But she can’t complain because she wrote the  film. And if  there’s more of John in the film than Pakhi, then only she’s to blame. By the way she recommended John for the film, and insisted that I sign him.”

John Abraham seems pretty gung-ho about the film. Says John, “Is Pakhi really unhappy about her role? She’s come out beautifully in the film. No one could’ve played the part the way she did.”
