Director Raj Kanwar is very busy with the post-production work of Hum Ko Deewana Kar Gaye which was inspired from a real love story. It will be releasing next month.

Kanwar revealed that his film Hum Ko Deewana Kar Gaye was inspired by a real life couple in Canada, “Their love story left me stunned for two days. The third day I met them again. I jotted down details of interesting incidents that transpired in their lives and that’s how I penned the story of my film”, he said.

According to him, Hum Ko Deewana Kar Gaye isn’t the usual, cliched love story. “My films are bold. For traditionalists and people from the older generation, it will be a shock. But the younger generation will be open to the subject,” he added. (more…)

Priyadarshan is gearing to make another laugh-riot titled Bhaagam-Bhaag and this time he is bringing comedy professor Govinda and action cum comic star Akshay Kumar. Both will be joined by Lara Dutta and Paresh Rawal in this comedy to be launched this June.

The director is inspired from English movie as he told, “it’s a totally crazy comedy of errors like Stanley Kramer’s It’s A Mad Mad Mad World.”

He added, “It involves characters in a theatrical group from India who have to perform in London. The actors in the group include Akshay Kumar who is the villain in the play. Govinda is the hero while Paresh Rawal owns the repertory. The story unfolds when the play’s heroine, fed up with Akshay’s and Govinda’s antics, refuses to turn up. So, once in London they’ve on the look-out for a new heroine. It’s a crazy film.” (more…)

You are doing an international film based on Monica Ali's novel 'Brick Lane'?
Yes, it’s true. The producers chose me after seeing my film ‘Kaal Purush’. It’s an honor to get such an offer, as the book is nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. The film is all about a woman name Nazneen from Bangladesh, who bears lots of hardship in both personal and social levels. It has a strong script and I would love to do it. But the problem is that they want 45 days’ schedule. I don’t know if I will mange to find time, as I am very busy with my other commitments. Still, I will try my best to do this film. (more…)
