It looks that bad boys are in demand in Bollywood and the latest actor in this league is actor Shiney Ahuja. Within a week of his release from Arthur Road Jail, where he was lodged on charges of alleged rape, Bollywood is in talks with the tainted actor. First off the block is his mentor Sudhir Mishra, who brought him recognition with Hazaron Khwahishen Aisi, and subsequently Khoya Khoya Chand.

Mishra is all set to cast him in a movie titled Hitman, which will go on the floors next year. He told, “I spoke to Shiney soon after he was released from jail.”

It can be recalled that actors such as Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan have been at crossroads with the law, but that did not impact their brand equity as stars. Ahuja has been ordered by the Bombay High Court to relocate to Delhi until his trial begins.

Sudhir will begin work on Hitman soon after this venture gets completed. The two had discussed the movie before the actor was arrested. The duo had also planned to work on Devdas but the project was finally shelved.
