Priyanka Chopra and Harman Baweja in 'Love Story 2050'
he promos of ‘Love Story 2050’ have sure generated the required buzz among fans, and Bollywood director Ashutosh Gowariker is so impressed with the pairing of Priyanka Chopra and Harman Baweja that he has signed the duo for his next.
Book adaptation seems to be the new mantra is Bollywood as after Rajkumar Hirani directing a movie titled ‘Idiots’ based on Chetan Bhagat’s ‘Five Point Someone’, it is Ashutosh, who is gearing up for his next based the book ‘Kimball Ravenswood’ by Madhu Rye.
Ashutosh has decided on the title of the movie as well, and it is ‘What’s your Rashee?’ The movie which will star Harman and Priyanka in the lead, is going to be a romantic comedy.
After directing period films, Ashutosh wants to try his hand at comedy and as Priyanka has proven to be quite the charm when it comes to comedy be it for ‘Mujse Shaadi Karoge’ or ‘Salaam–E-Ishq’, it didn’t take much time for the director to finalize his female lead.
Ashutosh was contemplating opting for Hrithik after seeing his terrific performance in ‘Jodhaa Akbar’, but the filmmaker was not sure if a comic role would be well suited for Hrithik, so Gowariker decided to cast Harman as he has strong resemblance to Hrithik and the ‘Love Story 2050’ debutante is said to good at comedy as well.
Priyanka and Harman, who feel in love on the sets of ‘Love Story 2050’, are looking for more projects where they can work together and, with ‘What’s your Rashee’ their 'Love Story’ continues at least in 2008.
