Haal-e-DilWhen Ajay and Kajol were told to stay away from an event

Now this was a special case where big stars were deliberately kept away so that newcomers could get media attention.

The event was the music release of film Haal-e-Dil which marks the debut of producer Kumar Mangat’s daughter Amita Pathak opposite Shekhar Suman’s son Adhyayan and actor Nakuul Mehta .




Ajay Devgan , who is a good friend of his secretary Kumar Mangat , took interest in this film right from the start. He, along with the likes of Vishal Bharadwaj and Anurag Kashyap , had a say in finalizing Amita’s co-stars in the film.

But when the film’s music was to release last weekend at J W Marriott in Mumbai, Mangat made an unusual request to Ajay.

The producer asked Ajay and Kajol to miss the music launch. Reportedly, he was apprehensive that if Ajay and Kajol attend the event, they would grab all the eyeballs and his daughter Amita and two newcomers would go unnoticed.

Devgan apparently understood Mangat’s point of view and did not attend the music launch.

Mangat says he is extremely thankful to Ajay for that.

The producer has apparently learnt from the music launch of Dasavatharam where Kamal Haasan was relegated to sidelines by the presence of international star Jackie Chan and a provocatively dressed Mallika Sherawat . After the launch, Mallika’s dress was more talked about than the songs of ‘Dasavatharam’.
