There will be no Jacqueline in Murder 3'

Murder producers have said that Jacqueline Fernandez will not feature in the third project in the series.

Mukesh Bhatt has revealed that he wants to cast a new actor to begin work on Murder 3, Hindustan Times reports.

"Just like the stunning girls we see in Bond films, we will have a new girl in every Murder film," he said.

"We launched Mallika Sherawat in the first film and Jacqueline in the second. Now, we want the audiences to ask, 'Who's the next Murder girl?' with enthusiasm."

Lead actor in the series Emraan Hashmi recently stated that the films could not be made without him in the main role.

Fernandez is reported to have angered producers when she opted to fulfill shooting commitments on Housefull 2 in the UK, instead of promoting the Bhatt project in Mumbai.The erotic thriller exceeded trade analysts' box office predictions when it released earlier this year.

Jacqueline Fernandez, Murder-2 Actress

Jacqueline Fernandez is a Sri Lankan actress and model, currently working in Bollywood films. She is a former beauty queen who won the Miss Sri Lanka Universe in 2006. She has received an International Indian Film Academy Award and Stardust Award for Best Female Debut in 2010, for her role in the Indian film Aladin.

Born in Colombo, Western Province Fernandez comes from a Sinhalese family in Sri Lanka. At the age of three her family moved to Bahrain. In Bahrain, she studied at the The Sacred Heart School. While schooling she participated in many co-curricular activities including ballet, drama and athletics. After graduating from the Murrey University in Melbourne, Australia with a degree for mass media studies, she chose modelling as her profession, providing her service to a number of fashion designers in Australia, Singapore, Dubai and Sri Lanka.

In March 2006, Fernandez was crowned the Miss Sri Lanka for Miss Universe 2006. She also competed in Miss Universe 2006.

After competing at Miss Universe, she worked as an anchor on Lanka Business Report and wrote a weekly column for The Daily Mirror while modeling in India.

Fernandez made her acting debut in the 2009 Bollywood fantasy movie Aladin directed by Sujoy Gosh alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, and Ritesh Deshmukh. She played the character of Jasmine, the new girl in college who has come from America.

2010 saw her once again appearing alongside Ritesh Deshmukh again in the romantic comedy Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai. She also had a cameo appearance in Sajid Khan's Housefull in a song called 'Apni tho Jaise Theise' which was a big success. The film starred Akshay Kumar in the lead role while Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Jiah Khan, Ritesh Deshmukh and Arjun Rampal featured in supporting roles. Fernandez's third film Murder 2 was released in July 2011; while Housefull 2 is set to release in 2012.

Riteish-Genelia's caught at midnight!, Genelia and Riteish spotted at Midnight in Mumbai

Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza were spotted having a great time at a suburban restaurant in Mumbai on Saturday night.

The two actors, who always resort to the 'just good friends' line whenever asked about each other, entered the restaurant at around 12 am and were seen enjoying a scrumptious meal.

It can be recalled that Riteish, who debuted in Bollywood opposite Genelia, has also been linked up with her Aladin co-star Jacqueline Fernandez. However, all the reports seem baseless after spotting the chemistry between Riteish and Gene.

Watching them enjoy each other's company so fondly, anyone can be sure that there is much more than just friendship between the two. While the two actors talked on myriad issues, the cutest part was when Gene sang a song for Riteish. Though we couldn't hear the lyrics of the song she was singing, we could see Riteish enjoy all the attention that the lady was bestowing on him.

And oh by the way! The two looked super good together and we only hope that they come open about their relationship soon.
