What a coincidence! Right after her break up with Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone is doing a film titled Break Ke Baad! She will be paired opposite Ranbir’s friend and competitor Imran Khan in the film.
As the title denotes, Break Ke Baad is about a young couple who break up and want to come together. This modern day love story is set against the locales of Delhi and Australia.
Imran and Deepika are paired for the first time in this film. Break Ke Baad is also Imran’s first opportunity to do a film opposite a top league actress, after his 7 days in Paris with Katrina Kaif was shelved.
Break Ke Baad, is the first independent production venture of director turned producer, Kunal Kohli . The film is also the directorial debut of Danish Aslam, Kunal’s assistant.
A.R.Murugadoss, the maverick director who directed Aamir Khan in Ghajini last year, will be having yet another Khan for his next Bollywood project. Bollywood’s bad boy Salman Khan will play the lead role in his next project titled Kick. This romantic action thriller film will have the tall beauty Deepika Padukone playing the heroine.
Kick is a remake of this year’s namesake Telugu blockbuster directed by Surender Reddy. The original had Ravi Teja and Ileana D’Cruz in lead roles. The remake will be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Munnabhai co-writer Abhijat Joshi will pen the script.
An action packed thriller, Kick will have Salman Khan doing some daredevil stunts. The star will be doing a lot of martial arts and kick-boxing in the film. The action sequences of Kick will be shot in Tokyo.
Deepika Padukone has just wrapped up the shooting for Housefull with Sajid Nadiadwala. The producer was hesitant when he approached her for Kick as Deepika has a good rapport with Shahrukh Khan. But she made it very clear to the producer that she is open to work with any actor.
Salman Khan had thrilled his fans with his action scenes in Wanted, another remake directed by another South Indian director Prabhu Deva. Hope he will do it again with the thrilling action scenes of Kick!
Love Aaj Kal is doing good with its songs and promos and is gearing up for an eagerly awaited release on this Friday. The film is an acid test for its lead pair, Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone, and a lot of expectations are riding on this romantic comedy, which is about love across generations.
Saif Ali Khan’s previous two releases Tashan and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic bit the dust at the box-office. His voice over animated film Roadside Romeo was also a dud at the box office. Saif, who is aiming at a big come back with Love Aaj Kal has also turned a producer with the film.
Deepika Padukone is also badly in need of a hit. Her last two films were not able to live up to the expectations. While Bachan Ae Haseeno opposite her boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor was an average, Chandni Chowk To China opposite Akshay Kumar turned a disaster at the box office. She also has a lot of hopes pinned on Love Aaj Kal.
As far as the audience are concerned, July was not a satisfying month for them. Even big releases like Kambakht Ishq and Luck have failed to live up to the expectations. Movie buffs are now expecting a lot from Love Aaj Kal, especially because the movie is directed by Imtiaz Ali who gave us the sweet Jab We Met in 2007.
Love Aaj Kal with its songs, trailers, controversies and freshness of the lead pair has created quite an interest in people. But can this film bring some cheer on the face of the audience on the last day of July remains to be seen.
