Monday, 28 December 2009
NEW DELHI, Dec 27: After losing close to Rs.700 crores (Rs.7 billion) in 2009, Bollywood has pinned many a hope on the coming year with a slew of films - Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol's comeback as a pair, Salman Khan's magnum opus, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif in a political drama and Shahid Kapoor's next where he shows off his eight-pack abs.
The year will start with actor Uday Chopra's debut production venture "Pyaar Impossible", which stars him and actress Priyanka Chopra. The film will hit theatres Jan 8.
While Uday plays a geek, Priyanka will be seen as the beauty every guy has his eyes on. Directed by Jugal Hansraj, "Pyaar Impossible" is a romantic comedy that shows how Uday and Priyanka come together by a twist of fate and love blooms amidst all odds.
"It was good so far. Now I am really waiting to see how public takes the film," Uday had said.
A week after "Pyaar Impossible", Shahid Kapoor will enthral fans with his dance moves in "Chance Pe Dance" Jan 15, where he teams up with Genelia D'Souza.
In the film helmed by Ken Ghosh, Shahid plays a struggling actor and had to really work on his body. He will sport an eight-pack abs in the film.
Next in line is Salman Khan's magnum opus "Veer", which releases Jan 22. Directed by Anil Sharma, it is a patriotic period film set in colonial India.
"Veer", written by Salman himself, is about bravery, treachery and love and revolves around the much-maligned Pindaris, who preferred death to dishonour and fought to their last breath to save their land.
The much-talked about film features Salman in a never-seen-before avatar along with newcomer Zarine Khan. Former Miss UK Lisa Lazarus also plays a pivotal role in the movie that also stars Mithun Chakraborty, Jackie Shroff, Sohail Khan and Bharat Dabholkar.
