Raveena Tandon seems to be fast earning the reputation of being the `first choice` of every producer in town only to be dropped from them when they are actually announced.

And this list includes the likes of Madhur Bhandarkar, Rakesh Mehra, Meghna Gulzar, David Dhawan, Hansal Mehta, Karan Johar, Yash Chopra ...the list is too long.Poor Raveen, all her toil in touching base. Not to mention the disillusionment she undergoes when after the initial round of talks she is unceremoniously dropped. What could be the possible reason? While some say it`s the exorbitant fees she demands, others say it`s her insistence on bound scripts, inclusion songs even where there is no need for any, top actors as co-stars, start-to-finish schedules and sundays and holidays off - that makes the producers livid.

Last month when the svelte actress announced five films under her own banner, if there were people who heaved a sigh of relief, it was the bunch of filmmakers who have been at the receiving end of her starry nakhras.
