Now, Aamir Khan is producing the debut vehicle for his nephew Imran Khan. Will he live up to his illustrious uncle’s name or fade away like his brother Faisal Khan? The music is by none other than AR Rahman. Mansoor Khan (director of Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak) is back as producer. The movie is directed by Abbas Tyrewala (the writer of Munnabhai MBBS, Main Hoon Na).
The song is terrific. Its a long time we saw some decent college romance. Hope this one will take us back to the romantic movies of the 90s with some chartbusting songs. At least the promo looks good. The actress is none other than Genelia D’Souza (Boys and Bommarillu fame). The girl has got a terrific break into hindi movies.
Am rubbing my hands with glee. Two Aaamir Khan productions this year. Jaane Tu and Ghajini starring the big Khan himself. Whoops. It’s simple things like these that makes life interesting

oooh…thats interesting! Although I am secretly praying Ghajini doesnt turn out to be a disaster with all the hype!

The song’s good. Who’s the singer?
The editorial keeda in me is irked by the missing apostrophe in the tag line that appears at the end. Should be “it’s”.
Liju Philip // May 11, 2008 at 9:04 am
@Ramya, the guy is good looking. Hope the years when south actresses dominated bollywood scene comes back
@Krishna, just the promos are out. Not sure of the release date. Even the music is yet to be released.
@Akhil, no idea about the singer. Need to wait for the music release. Btw, have done the necessary editing Editor saaaaarrrr

Ghajini is a difficult concept to sell to the Hindi audience…..if anyone can do it is Aamir. Let’s hope the story is not mutilated beyond recognition…..
Chittaranjan // May 11, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Nice song that. Rahman’s done the music so it prolly will be good!
And Re:”south actresses dominated Bollywood”, who apart from Sridevi and Jaya Prada have done that?
Liju Philip // May 11, 2008 at 5:07 pm
@Quirky Indian, Aamir is already insisting on changing the climax of Ghajini. Even i felt that it was too over the top. Maybe good for the Tamil audience, but surely not palatable to the audience that the Hindi cinema caters to.
@Chittaranjan, add Hema Malini and Rekha to the list.

@ Liju: Wonder why there are no telugu actresses these days…lerave alone the hindi film industry…atleast in the telugu film industry :-/
idlidosa // May 11, 2008 at 6:11 pm
@Chittaranjan: also add Viyajanthimala to the list
Liju Philip // May 11, 2008 at 9:24 pm
@Ramya, probably because the telugu girls know the truth about the top actors, producers, directors in the industry
Remember how Krishna’s daughter (Mahesh’s sister) was forced to stop acting by the fan clubs? Such things dont happen in the hindi film industry.
Also the Bombay imports have no qualms showing off skin. Btw, there was a telugu girl, Laya rite?
Chittaranjan // May 12, 2008 at 2:25 am
@Liju and Idlidosa: They’re all South-born actresses. Aren’t we talking abt heroines who have made a mark in the Telugu/Tamil industry and then went on to ace Bollywood as well?
Liju Philip // May 12, 2008 at 2:02 pm
we just clubbed together all southies
Ashi Kacheria // May 12, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Love Story 2050 also releasing on the same date.
In Harman Vs. Imran’s case, I would prefer Harman. A couple of reasons for this.
Aamir Khan might be a big star, but that doesn’t goes to say that anyone launched by Aamir will be a big star. Remember Faisal Khan? Aamir’s own brother. He had full support of Aamir, but what happaned to him? For all you know, Imran might meet the same fate.
Another point - Why would Aamit take Genelia, one of the most flop heroine of Bollywood as a heroine? I mean, how many fans does she has , apart from her own family?
Also, the director of the film is Abbas Tyrewala, the guy who used to write scripts before. In comparison, Love Story 2050 is directed by ace director Harry Baweja who gave us films like “Qayamat”, “Dilwale” etc. I trust Harry Baweja far more than Abbas Tyrewala.
Further, a look at Love Story 2050 ’s promos makes you sit back and take notice. Love Story 2050 is an interesting film. Its a love story, but with exciting special effects and an intriguing story line. This might be India’s first sci-fi film. The budget of Harman’s costumes in Love Story 2050 alone must be equal to “Jaane Tu”’s entire budget.
Boss, a multiplex ticket now costs Rs.250. I would rather go and watch Love Story 2050 than see some overrated and under-delivered performance by some over-hyped star-nephew.

@Liju: Laya’s married now and moved to the US. She has officially given up movies
There is Sindhura Gadde from New Zealand….but don’t know if we can classify her as Indian…leave alone an Andhrite 
@Chittaranjan: The trend has changed now. It was different when Rekahas and Hema Malinis were around. Not much competition then. If you are a classical dancer…and have beautiful eyes…you get lucky most of the times.
But times have changed. I reckon it’s easier to get into the southern film industry if you have a pretty face or have done some modelling or ads. Every big shot actor..be it Chiru, Venky, Nagarjuna, Mahesh Babu or the upcoming ones like Allu Arjun and Ram Charam Teja, they all want fresh faces in their movies….doesn’t matter if they are as old as their kids. Therefore, there is much more demand for newcomers in the Southern Film Industry than there was before. Many newcomers these days see the telugu/tamil film industry as a step towards Bollywood.
Bollywood is a different cup of tea. Actresses are not cast in a movie just for the sake of it…they get substantial roles and most of them go to already well established actresses like Rani or Priety. Where as in the Southern Film industry…this has just started.
If you taken Asin’s and Genelia’s case…they have already established themselves very well in the South and have moved to the Hindi film Industry. They were lucky enough to get roles in which they could excel and not just tag along the hero like dumbos.
