Venus bosses Ratan and Ganesh Jain seem to have become hard-core Priyadarshan loyalists.

After working with Priyan in "Hungama", "Hulchul" and "Garam Masala", which is scheduled to release shortly, the Jains have signed Priyan for two other films - one of them is likely to be the Shah Rukh Khan starrer that Venus has been planning for a long time now.

The fact that Priyadarshan had recently announced his decision to change tracks from comedy to more serious cinema does not worry the Jains.

On the other hand, Venus has apparently decided to sideline its once favourite director Vikram Bhatt after his string of flops. "We have no film with Vikram Bhatt and there doesn't seem to be one in the offing either. Vikram is busy with his other commitments," Jain stated.
