There are two independent serotonin (5-HT) systems of organization: one in the central nervous system and the other in the periphery. 5-HT affects feeding behavior and obesity in the central nervous system. On the other hand, peripheral 5-HT also may play an important role in obesity, as it has been reported that 5-HT regulates glucose and lipid metabolism. Here we show that the intraperitoneal injection of 5-HT to mice inhibits weight gain, hyperglycemia and insulin resistance and completely prevented the enlargement of intra-abdominal adipocytes without having any effect on food intake when on a high fat diet, but not on a chow diet. 5-HT increased energy expenditure, O2 consumption and CO2 production. This novel metabolic effect of peripheral 5-HT is critically related to a shift in the profile of muscle fiber type from fast/glycolytic to slow/oxidative in soleus muscle. Additionally, 5-HT dramatically induced an increase in the mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor coactivator 1α (PGC-1α)-b and PGC-1α-c in soleus muscle. The elevation of these gene mRNA expressions by 5-HT injection was inhibited by treatment with 5-HT receptor (5HTR) 2A or 7 antagonists. Our results demonstrate that peripheral 5-HT may play an important role in the relief of obesity and other metabolic disorders by accelerating energy consumption in skeletal muscle.
Effect of 5-HT on Adiposity of Mice Fed a High Fat Diet.
A, Body weight of male C57BL/6 mice fed a chow diet (Ch) or a high fat diet (F) were measured over 26 weeks (n = 12 to 20). Mice were intraperitoneally injected with PBS or 5-HT (1 mg/mouse) twice a week. Open circles, chow plus PBS (Ch+PBS); filled circles, chow plus 5-HT (Ch+5HT); open squares, F diet plus PBS (F+PBS); filled squares, F diet plus 5-HT (F+5HT). B and C, Photographs are the gross appearance (B) and the abdominal cavity (C) of representative mice from each group at 26 weeks of age. D, The proportion of whole body fat (n = 5) and intraabdominal fat (n = 10) of each group of mice at 26 weeks of age. E, The adipose tissues of mice at 26 weeks of age were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Bars in histological sections indicate 50 μm. Figs show the size distribution of adipocytes. Data are means ± s.d. Figs with a different superscript letter are significantly different (p<0.05). F, The change in body weight of C57BL/6 mice treated with several doses of 5-HT were measured over 22 weeks (n = 14 to 20). The body weight of mice at 22 weeks of age shows the concentration dependent effect of 5HT. Open circles, Ch+PBS; open squares, F+PBS; filled symbols, F+5HT at a concentration of 0.1 mg (▲), 0.5 mg (◆) and 1.0 mg/mouse (■). Red colored symbols show significance in F+5HT mice against F+PBS mice (p<0.05). Data are means ± s.e. All data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA without (F). Data in (F) was analyzed by one-way ANOVA. Columns with a different letter are significantly different (p<0.05). *p<0.05, **p<0.01 indicates significance in F+5HT mice against F+PBS mice.
Metabolic Effect of 5HT on a High Fat Diet.
A, The concentrations of blood NEFA, cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, insulin, leptin and adiponectin were measured in mice aged between 21 and 26 weeks of age (n = 7–12). B and C, Glucose tolerance (B) and insulin tolerance (C) tests were performed in each group of mice at 21 weeks of age (n = 7). Circles, Ch+PBS; filled circles, Ch+5HT; squares, F+PBS; filled squares, F+5HT. Data are means ± s.e. Data in (A) were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. Data in (B) and (C) were analyzed by Student's t test. Columns with a different letter are significantly different (p<0.05). *p<0.05, **p<0.01 indicates significance in F+5HT mice against F+PBS mice.
Effect of 5-HT on Energy Metabolism.
A, Energy expenditure, oxygen consumption, production of carbon dioxide and respiratory exchange ratio were measured for 24 h in each group mice at 21 to 23 weeks of age (n = 5–6). The acclimation time was 1 h. These values were normalized to body weight. B, The food intake of each group of mice was measured for 1 day at 17 weeks of age (n = 6). C, The rectal temperatures of each group mice at 22 weeks of age are indicated (n = 14). Data are the mean ± s.e. Data were analyzed by Student's t test (A) and two-way ANOVA (B). Columns with a different letter are significantly different (p<0.05). *p<0.05, **p<0.01 indicates significance in 5-HT-treated mice against PBS-treated mice.
5-HT elevates the proportion of slow type muscle fibers in the skeletal muscle of mice on the high fat diet.
A, Mice fed a chow diet (Ch) or a high fat diet (F) were i.p. injected with PBS or 5-HT (1 mg/mouse) twice a week. After 8 weeks of treatment, the frozen sections of soleus and gastrocnemius muscles of 14 weeks of age mice were immunostained using anti-slow and anti-fast myosin heavy chain antibodies, specific markers of myofiber type-I and type-II, respectively (n = 5). S and G in (A) indicate the positions of soleus and gastrocnemius muscles, respectively. Bars in histological sections indicate 200 μm. B, The activities of oxidative enzyme in soleus and gastrocnemius muscles of mice at 14 weeks of age of each group were examined by enzymatic staining using NADH-tetrazolium reductase (NADH-TR) shown with a blue precipitate. Bars in histological sections indicate 50 μm. C, The proportions of slow, fast and intermediate type muscle fibers in soleus muscle of each group of mice were calculated by evaluating the type of all soleus muscle fiber in each immunostaining section in (A) (n = 5). D, Intracellular levels of NAD-to-NADH ratio were measured in soleus and gastrocnemius muscles of mice at 14 weeks of age (n = 5–7). Data are the mean ± s.e. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. Columns with a different letter are significantly different (p<0.05).
Effect of 5-HT on mRNA expression in soleus muscle.
The relative mRNA expression levels of Total PGC-1α, PGC-1α-a, PGC-1α-b, PGC-1α-c, D2, UCP3, PPARγ, NRF1, Cyt-c, COXIV, HSL and CPT-1b were analyzed in soleus muscle of each group of mice at 14 weeks of age by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (n = 6–8). Data are the mean ± s.e. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. Columns with a different letter are significantly different (p<0.05).
Elevation of mRNA Expressions of PGC-1α-b and PGC-1α-c by 5HT.
A, In 8 weeks of age mice, the mRNA expression levels of PGC-1α-b and PGC-1α-c were measured in soleus muscle and after i.p. injection of 1 mg 5-HT by real time PCR (n = 6–8). B, The relative mRNA expression levels of 5-HTR were measured in soleus muscle of mice at 8 weeks of age by using real time PCR (n = 6–8). C, At 30 min before the administration of 1 mg 5-HT, mice were injected with several 5-HTR antagonists: Methysergide (antagonist for 5-HTR1, 2 and 7, 0.1 mg/mouse), SB-269970 (5-HTR7, 0.6 mg), Ketanserin (5-HTR2A, 0.1 mg/mouse) and SB-204741 (5-HTR2B, 0.08 mg/mouse). The mRNA expressions of PGC-1α-b and PGC-1α-c in soleus muscle were determined at 120 min after 5-HT injection by real time PCR (n = 6–8). The mRNA expression levels in PBS-pretreated mice injected with 5-HT are designed as 100. Values in soleus muscle were normalized to those for 18S. Data are means ± s.e. Data were analyzed by Student's t test (A) and one-way ANOVA (C).*, P<0.05; **, P<0.01 relative to basal values at 0 min of PGC-1α-b. #, P<0.05; ##, P<0.01 relative to basal values at 0 min of PGC-1α-c. Columns with a different letter are significantly different (p<0.05).

Retirement Health Program (Background)
The new Retirement Health Program at Saint Mary's College of California is designed to help employees pay for medical expenses during retirement in a tax-advantaged manner. It is also designed to provide retirees with access to affordable nation-wide health insurance coverage throughout retirement. This new program is being offered by the College through Emeriti Retirement Health Solutions (Emeriti), a consortium-based organization comprised of over 40 institutions of higher education.
Under this new program, the College contributes a flat dollar amount to the Emeriti employer VEBA account of each benefits-eligible employee age 40 and above. Employees age 21 and above can also make post-tax contributions of any amount to an employee VEBA account as part of planning for retirement. Employee contributions are immediately vested and contributions by the College are vested after five (5) years of continuous service. Employees can direct the investment in both types of VEBA accounts through the plan's administrator Fidelity Investments.
Upon retirement, the Emeriti VEBA account balances can be used to reimburse eligible medical expenses, including the cost of insurance premiums. Emeriti provides access to nation-wide health insurance at group rates to employees at age 65 as well as to eligible dependents through its insurance administrator Aetna.
Benefits eligible employees hired on or after July 1st, 2007 will be enrolled in this new program after attaining age 40. Benefits eligible employees hired prior to July 1st, 2007 will have a one-time option to enroll in the new Retirement Health Program (Emeriti) in lieu of the College's existing retirement health programs. Those benefits eligible employees who do not affirmatively enroll in the new Retirement Health Program (Emeriti) by June 29th, 2007 at 5:00 pm will not be able to enroll in the future. The election and waiver form is linked to this site.
Details about the Emeriti Program, the College's existing retirement health programs, and the transition to the new retirement health program are provided in the two PowerPoint presentations that are linked to this site. An additional document entitled "Your Plan Highlights at a Glance" is also linked to this site.

A&R disasters
Maybe the public should be trusted over A&R men. As the man who signed An Emotional Fish, I should know...
Ben Wardle
Thu 28 Aug 2008 11.12 EDT First published on Thu 28 Aug 2008 11.12 EDT
Some you win ... Tony Wilson, the man responsible for the Madchester phenomenon, and the Wendys
You may have read yesterday about Bandstocks, the latest proposed business model for sorting out the music industry. The idea revolves around fans investing in the music they believe in, and getting a slice of the profits. It's all quite similar to Sellaband, only with more experienced people behind it - B-Unique (home to Kaiser Chiefs and Primal Scream) and Friends Reunited founder Andrew Lewis are both involved.
OK, so if the bands flop, fans might end up losing their money. But let's be honest, the investment track record of music professionals isn't exactly spotless...
Take Tony Wilson, the Factory genius who put Joy Division and Happy Mondays on the map, helped invent indie-dance through the Hacienda, set the template for the iconic North from the mid-eighties onwards and went on to sign ... Northside and the Wendys.
It's easy, of course, to use hindsight to spot the terrible A&R decisions - how we still laugh at Mike Smith, the Decca exec who after auditioning the Beatles, decided that "guitar groups are on the way out".
Without wanting to take a trip down A&R memory lane, there is simply not an executive out there without a cupboard full of skeletons - huge deals were signed in the 90s for buzz bands the names of which now mean nothing, even to those currently working in A&R.
My first signing, for example, was an Irish act called An Emotional Fish (readers of my previous blog about terrible band names, will crow at the irony). After I discovered them in Dublin, AEF, as they briefly became known, were pursued by every major in town. Wining and dining went on for quite some time but we ended up doing such a massive deal, that even Atlantic's label boss, Ahmet Ertegun, flew over. After the first single peaked at 38, Ahmet became decidedly less interested.
But terrible music business investments are not just limited to A&R departments. In the early 90s, while working at another major label, I remember being given a presentation by Phillips, where they claimed, "It's been established that the public want a new format every 10 years - the Digital Compact Cassette will be the format of the nineties". The DCC limped on for three years until was discontinued in 1996. For all the carping of Guy Hands and the like about wasted funds on signing hopeless bands, I'll bet Phillips and Sony squandered more cash on those two white elephants than they gave to the music divisions.
Of course, the choicest time for bad music-business investment was the dotcom boom of the late 90s. Anyone able to name the first couple of Clash albums could walk into the City and get millions of pounds of investment for a website provided it had the word "Music" in the URL. It was so bonkers that I once had a meeting with someone from an American start-up whose job title was Director of Possibilities. You had to admire his optimism, even as his share prices came crashing down six months later.
So good luck to Bandstocks. I say let the fans have a go for once - they might prove a little more savvy than the professionals.

BOULEVARD: Headliners of ROCK TEMPLE FESTIVAL!
Rock Temple, the new international mail order dedicated to rock and metal music fans, in collaboration with Rocker Sound Agency & Burning Minds Music Group, is proud to announce the first official edition of its "Rock Temple Festival", an event that promises to become a brilliant annual kermesse for all the passionate supporters of this kind of music. This edition coincides with the first official italian gig ever of one of the most beloved AOR bands… BOULEVARD! After two cult AOR releases in the late eighties, "BLVD" (1988) and "Into the Street" (1990), which gave them big exposure in their homecountry, Boulevard sadly dissolved in 1991, but finally reunited in 2014 starting to write new songs for their awaited studio come-back. The result is included in "Luminescence", an unquestionable masterpiece of up to date melodic rock music, which is getting oustanding feedbacks from fans and critics, being already included in most of the "Top Album" lists of 2017.

VOLSTER – New deal & New album announced….
Swedish Melodic Hard Rock Band, VOLSTER feat. ex-members of Masquerade and House Of Heavy, have signed with European label ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records. VOLSTERS's debut album "Perfect Storm", includes 12 tracks and is produced by VOLSTER, co-produced/mixed by Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne, Lynch Mob, Armored Saint, Lizzy Borden, Megadeth, Y&T) and mastered by Thomas "Plec" Johansson (Soilwork, Onslaught, Armageddon, Degradead, Dynazty) at The Panic Room Mastering. A video teaser of new album "Perfect Storm" can be viewed here:
Henrik Lundberg says: "Brought up with music from the 70th and 80th the roots are deep. So it's no surprise our music is built from these glorious decades even if we also involve more modern flavours. The main ingredient is the melody, what else makes a great song other than great vocals and interesting riffs of course. With members having been active in the music business for decades now is the time to make all our music dreams come true, playing the music we love. VOLSTER is melodic hard rock as it's supposed to be."
VOLSTER is:
Peter Tenning – Vocals
Ulf Andersson – Guitar (ex-Masquerade)
Henrik Lundberg – Bass (ex-House Of Heavy, ex-Masquerade)
Daniel Granlund – Drums (Syconaut)
VOLSTER is a Swedish hard rock band started by guitarist Ulf Andersson and bass player Henrik Lundberg who were both members of the band Masquerade in the late 80s and early 90s. While Ulf left Masquerade for other projects, Henrik continued making a couple of albums with Masquerade before they broke up. In 2009 Henrik released an album with the band House of Heavy.
Ulf and Henrik met up again in 1996 to record a four song demo. This demo was called VOLSTER and in 2013 (17 years later) they decided to pick up where they left off and plans were made to start a band performing these songs and also write new ones. They kept the name VOLSTER.

STRAY BULLETS – New deal & Debut album announced…
Sneakout Records is glad to announce the signing of Italian hard rockers Stray Bullets for the release of their debut album. Their story begins back in 2007, when this hard rock combo coming from Verona (north of Italy) started to write the first songs together, in order to move their first steps for the making of their first studio album. It took three years to record and self-release "Lost Soul Town", a demo/album with ten tracks entirely played and recorded by the band as a home-made recording. In the following years, Stray Bullets faced a series of line-up changes, which accidentally led them to focus their proposal on a more sleaze oriented rock style. In the summer of 2015, after the meeting with Oscar Burato and Stefano Gottardi of Burning Minds Music Group, Stray Bullets took the decision of putting the basis for a collaboration together, in order to improve the quality of their proposal. The band entered the doors of Atomic Stuff Studio under the artistic guidance of Oscar himself, finalizing (with the line-up composed by vocalist Alex Chinaski, guitar-players Steven Evil and Nick, bass-player Dave Dufford and drummer Zen) the eleven tracks of "Shut Up", which includes most of the songs taken from "Lost Soul Town", now re-written and re-arranged according to the soul and style of the new line-up. A new band, a new album, and a new adventure: Stray Bullets are ready to rock the world with the energy captured in their debut "Shut Up".

BLOOD RED SAINTS – New album in January 2018…
Following on from their critically acclaimed 2015 independent debut album 'Speedway' Blood Red Saints make a welcome return with a brand new selection of top class hard rock. 'Love Hate Conspiracies' sees the band make a progression into a more focused direction. Pete Godfrey (vocals) tells us more. "The Speedway album was a great debut for us no doubt about that but this new album is a massive step forward. We've really found our own sound and identity with this material, it feels a lot more cohesive and is without doubt, heavier in style. This feels like a real band all pulling together"
The new album also sees two new Saints baptised to join original members Pete Godfrey, Rob Naylor (bass) and Lee Revill (guitars). Neil Hibbs (formerly of Arkhams Razor, Shy) joins to add a harder edge with crunching guitars for a tougher approach for both live and studio work. Andy Chemney (drums) was an obvious choice having worked with Rob in their previous band 'Angels Or Kings'. Rob takes up the story. "I've known Andy nearly all my life, he was the guy I wanted for our band and we are so pleased to have finally got our man"
So, what can we expect from 'Love Hate Conspiracies?' Lee Revill told us this "it's musically in a heavier direction than Speedway. We still wanted big melodic choruses but we wanted to toughen them up a bit too. We've got such a strong set of songs here and we are all excited to finally let people hear them, on the album and also live, these songs are gonna kick ass"
The album features a writing and vocal contribution from Paul Laine (The Defiants) on 'Is it over' and a track 'Turn on the Night', written by Steve Brown (Trixter, Def Leppard, Tokyo Motor Fist)
Mixing and production was handled by Simon Humphrey who has worked with some of the biggest acts in music over many years and his input was invaluable in producing this record.
Love Hate Conspiracies can be heard soon enough, with a release date for 26th January 2018 on the AOR heaven label.
Pete Godfrey leaves us on this note.
"We hope people will love this album as much as we do. A lot of hard work has gone into making it and we think it shows"
Catch BRS out and about throughout the year with HRH in North Wales in March and more shows to be announced soon. Check them out on Facebook too.

PAL (Pettersson/Andersson/Ljunggren) – Debut album out on January 26th 2018
PAL is a Swedish musical collaboration between guitarist Roger Ljunggren and Peter Andersson and Peo Pettersson.
Roger and Peter, longtime friends, started writing and play music together way back. They first got to know each other in the early eighties. Growing up in Skara, a small town in the southwest of Sweden sharing a passion for music and specially song-writing the sweat out together in a small rehearsal studio together with some other local musicians.
The group started in 1987 when a demo was recorded in Peo's studio Vanäs for a band called Escape which at that moment was short of a singer and Peo helped out.
Now, thirty years later the three musicians are making music together again. The songs on the debut album "Prime" are a collaboration between the three – where Roger wrote the music and recorded the guitars and solos and Peter arranged, produced and played the bass. Peo then added the vocals. Mauritz Petersson was hired to do the drums.
You can surely hear vintage elements in their music , but this time with a more modern approach and passion for the music they all grew up with. The first label that was invited to listen to the material was AOR Heaven in Germany. A record deal was signed with them shortly after. Release of the debut album "Prime" is scheduled in Europe January 2018.

LIFT, STEM Action Center launch MakerMinded manufacturing learning platform year two
Program connects students to STEM experiences and skills to build Idaho's advanced manufacturing workforce
10/29/19, 11:06 AM | Automation & Networking, Design & Development
BOISE, Idaho (Oct. 29, 2019) — On the heels of the Governor's Summit on the Future of Work earlier this month, Idaho Gov. Brad Little and the Idaho STEM Action Center have announced that competition for year two of MakerMinded in Idaho is now open. The STEM Action Center is again partnering with LIFT – Lightweight Innovations for Tomorrow, a Detroit-based national manufacturing innovation institute, to bring MakerMinded to Idaho public school students in fifth through 12th grades. The program utilizes a digital platform to provide students with meaningful advanced manufacturing and STEM activities in a competitive format. The goal is to give students foundational skills in advanced manufacturing to help fill Idaho's STEM career pipeline.
Originally designed by LIFT and Tennessee Tech University's iCUBE and launched in 2016, MakerMinded impassions students about advanced manufacturing and equips them with the skills and mindsets needed in the innovation economy. It directly links students to a diverse range of national and local STEM and advanced manufacturing programs, including manufacturing facility tours, gaming activities, and project-based learning. MakerMinded also drives a sense of competition, as students and schools receive points for each completed activity that are tallied on a real-time online leader board. The top schools in four different classifications based on student population will win $4,000 each and are celebrated at year-end recognition events.
"Thousands of jobs go unfilled in Idaho because our workforce lacks the skills in science, technology, engineering, math, and computer science to meet employers' needs," Gov. Little said. "Idaho's partnership with LIFT and the work of the STEM Action Center and others are connecting our students with the education, training, and exposure they need to fill the jobs of today and tomorrow."
Currently, there are nearly 7,800 unfilled STEM jobs in Idaho, according to STEM Action Center executive director Dr. Angela Hemingway- and that number is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.
"One of the STEM Action Center's legislated goals is to align science, technology, engineering, math, and computer science education with workforce needs throughout Idaho, and MakerMinded is a great program to help accomplish this goal," Dr. Hemingway said. "The importance of a STEM-literate workforce to Idaho's economy can't be overstated. We are the fastest-growing state in the U.S., our tech sector is the second fastest growing in the nation, and 80 percent of all jobs will require technology skills within the next 10 years. Meanwhile, the Idaho Department of Labor predicts upwards of 100,000 STEM jobs will exist in Idaho by 2024. These jobs will represent $6.5 billion in personal income and almost $350 million in tax revenue if our workforce is poised to fill them."
According to the National Association of Manufacturers, manufacturing is an important part of Idaho's economy. The organization reports the state's 1,714 manufacturing firms employ 9.24 percent of its workforce and that Idaho's more than 68,130 manufacturing employees have an average annual compensation of $70,052.70 — nearly double the average annual compensation of $37,425.61 for employees of non-farm businesses.
Seven states — Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia — are part of the national MakerMinded initiative. Together, more than 5,000 students and teachers from more than 400 middle and high schools are active on the platform. Originally funded in Idaho through a grant from the U.S. Department of Defense's National Defense Education Program, year two funding shifts to the Idaho STEM Action Center, but the mission to inspire the next generation of makers and innovators remains the same.
"Programs like MakerMinded are helping to broaden the STEM talent pool and build the quality workforce our nation needs to meet its most complex defense technological and manufacturing challenges," LIFT's Emily DeRocco said. "We are excited to build off of last year's success and engage more students and teachers on the MakerMinded platform."
"Continuing to reach students of all ages to inspire them to consider advanced manufacturing as a career choice is critical to our mission and to filling the widening skills gap across the U.S.," LIFT CEO and executive director Nigel Francis said.
A focus of this year's competition will be to directly connect students and teachers to local manufacturers for plant tours, internships and other experiential learning opportunities.
"We had 55 schools participate in last year's competition and we also signed up 62 manufacturers across the state to offer schools site visits, guest speakers, mentorships, job shadows and internships," said John McFarlane, Idaho's MakerMinded coordinator at the STEM Action Center. "One of the winning schools, Basin Elementary, used their cash award to convert an unused classroom into a makerspace for the whole district to use."
The latest competition ends at noon April 23, 2020, with recognition events scheduled for early May.
Students, schools, employers and others interested in joining the Idaho MakerMinded campaign should visit www.id.makerminded.com or contact John McFarlane at makerminded@STEM.idaho.gov.

Two volunteer firefighters in Virginia have been suspended for rushing an 18-month-old girl to a nearby hospital during a medical emergency in their fire engine because it did not have the proper equipment or medications, according to a report.Captain James Kelley and Sergeant Virgil Bloom, both with the Falmouth Volunteer Fire Department in Fredericksburg, Virginia, said they were the first emergency team to arrive on the scene near a McDonald's restaurant on February 27, according to WTTG. So sad that somebody who is clinging to death, that a firefighter team transporting the kid to safety would only get in trouble for it. It seems the city of Fredericksburg, VA is more worried about law suits then the heroes they have in their fire department. To me they had the proper equipment to rush the child to the hospital, they had sirens and a transport system. Bet anything the people who suspended these firefighters would of freaked out in this situation if they came across a little child clinging to life or death. It just seems that city officials in cities across America seem to be at war with our safety personnel and police officers for some reason anymore.

Home Entertainment Varun Dhawan nods a no to an Aanand L Rai directorial
Varun Dhawan nods a no to an Aanand L Rai directorial
Aanand L Rai, a filmmaker known for delivering such commercially and critically successful films as Tanu Weds Manu (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013) and Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015), is having a hard time in locking the cast of his next directorial venture.
For the unversed, the filmmaker has already roped in Dhanush and newcomer Sara Ali Khan to play lead roles in the movie. But the untitled project is a two-hero film and Rai is unable to find the actor who could play the parallel lead in it.
He had reportedly offered the film to Hrithik Roshan and then Ajay Devgn, but both the actors turned down the offer. The latest we hear that Varun Dhawan has also nodded a no to the project citing date issues.
"The director needs another big Bollywood star to step into the film and elevate the project. But whoever he is approaching is declining his offer. First, he was in advanced talks with Hrithik Roshan but after War (2019), he was apprehensive about doing a romantic saga. At this point, he wants to live up to his action star image," a source close to the development tells a publication.
After Junior Roshan rejected the film, Aanand L Rai took it to Ajay Devgn who also did not show interest in doing it. "Ajay and Aanand wish to collaborate soon on another project that the filmmaker is planning, but not the Sara-Dhanush starrer," adds the source.
"Aanand had finally taken his film to Varun Dhawan, after Hrithik opted out of it. Varun respects Aanand and wants to do a film with him, but at this point, his dates are completely blocked with Coolie No. 1, Ekkis and then Shashank Khaitan's Mr Lele. So, he also had to let it go," the source says in conclusion.
