All has not been well with Umesh Shukla's upcoming family drama, All Is Well. The Abhishek Bachchan-Asin starrer was in the news recently after Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani who was paired with Rishi Kapoor, was finally replaced with Supriya Pathak (Mirror, Jan 5) after almost a year's wait for dates. All her portions have had to be reshot.

The long-delayed film is now scheduled to open in the theatres on August 21, but the makers still feel that it lacks sizzle and have roped in Brazilian model and Kingfisher calendar girl, Nathalia Kaur, to steam up the screen.

Nathalia who was last seen conquering her fears in Khatron Ke Khiladi in 2014, is presently in Rio De Janeiro, where she was crowned Miss Espirito Santo this week. She will now be competing for the title of Miss Brazil World. A source close to her confirmed that she has been signed for a special appearance number which will be filmed in Los Angeles during a two-week schedule in June.

"It is a racy track in which Nathalia woos both Abhishek and Rishi, while Asin looks on with a glum face. It won't be a sleazy song because the film is a wholesome family entertainer," added the source.

Mirror had earlier reported (April 13) that John Abraham's next home production, Rocky Handsome, is an official remake of South Korea's highest grossing film of 2010, The Man From Nowhere.

The film went on the floors on Sunday, June 15, in Hyderabad. It is a 40-50 day schedule which will be followed by a second 10-15 day stint in Goa and wrap up with 20-odd days of shooting in Mumbai.

"We want to finish it by October and are looking to a February-March 2015 release," informs Sunir Kheterpal, whose company, Azure Entertainment, is co-producing the film with John's JA Entertainment.

The original film is an action-thriller which follows the journey of a lone crusader, played by Won Bin, who goes on a murderous rampage against the drug mafia when the only person he cares for, a seven-year-old girl, is taken from him along with her mother.

A seven-year-old girl whose identity Sunir is not ready to reveal yet, has joined John, Shruti Haasan and Nathalia Kaur in Hyderabad.

When Nathalia, a Brazilian model turned-actress joined the shoot, the rumour mill claimed that she will play John's wife.

"Nathalia is playing the girl's mother, a club dancer, and we're going to be shooting a song with her. Another club number will be picturised on a known actress at a later date," says Sunir.

"Shruti is the one who has been cast opposite John as his wife and she is the heroine of the film. We have recorded a romantic track which will be filmed on them," he added.

There are four villains in the films who are taken on by John. The bad guys are being kept under wraps for now. All Sunir is willing to reveal is that John has three looks in the film and inspired by Won Bin's character in the original.

In an interview to Mirror (December 30, 2013) John Abraham had jokingly revealed that director Nishikant Kamath wanted him as a "lean killing machine" in Rocky Handsome as opposed to the 12-pack Hulk of Force.
