/> Outwardly there's no real love lost between the two enduring divas of the silver screen. Many years ago Shabana had been openly critical of Rekha's dialogues and performances.

More recenty Shabana's husband Javed Akhtar had opined that he didn't think too highly of Rekha. "I've never been a fan of Rekha Mujhe uski performance dil mein nahin lagi. Unka rona hasna sab heroine ka hota hai. The first time I really liked her was in Krissh."

But now, 30 years after they played Sahelis fighting over Jeetendra in Raaste Pyar Ke, Rekha and Shabana may be brought together in a film called Sadiyaan.

And the ambitious director who may pull off this casting coup is Raj Kanwar who has so far been known mainly for his male-oriented subjects.

Reluctant to reveal too many details at the moment Raj Kanwar says, "Sadiyaan which means centuries, would be an entirely new territory for me. Yes I do want to cast Rekha and Shabanaji together. Work is on for the screenplay. Song recordings have also started. I hope to get the project in place in a few weeks.'

Rekha is deeply excited by the film. "Shabana whom I call Munni is always a pleasure to work with. When you have a co-star like her you're challenged to give your best.

Sadiyaan would be interesting also because I've never worked with Raj Kanwar before. Also he's planning to cast a very big male actor in a guest appearance," she ends mysteriously. Aarya Babbar's Hollywood connections Smart and Hunky Aarya Babbar has definitely strengthened his Hollywood connections yet more.

After his first film 'Partition' where he has played the main antagonist, Aarya's latest Hollywood film to hit the screens is "A Tune for Her" that has been just released in Calgary Canadian Film Festival.

Directed by Samit Brar, Aarya plays the main lead in this film opposite Canadian actress Crystal Loschuk.

A Tune for Her, is basically a Romantic film which has received very favorable response from critics as well as viewers in Canada.

Says Aarya, "This is the story of love between a music composer Aman and singer Grace. Working in it has been a wonderful experience. I am waiting for both my films to release in India." A Tune for Her will first release in UK and then in India.

A theatre artiste, Aryan has impressed everybody with his versatility as Ashwarya's brother in "Guru", where he has given a commendable performance.
