Anjaana Anjaani delayed to avoid clash with Babri Masjid verdict
On September 24 the Allahabad High Court is expected to give a judgment in controversial Babri Masjid Demolition case, and it has given film makers cold jitters. Two of the mega budget movies, “Robot” and “Anjaana Anjaani” earlier scheduled for released this Friday, have been postponed to October 1, 2010.
The comedy- romantic flick “Anjaana Anjaani” now will hit theatres on 1st October instead of 24th September. The main reason given is the Ayodhya verdict which will be declared on 24th September. Gossip sources report that the film’s hero Ranbir Kapoor had a talk with the producers on this serious issue and the Babri Masjid Demolition case verdict should be respected and it is not wise to release the film on a date to clash with it. The director Siddharth Anand said that he doesn’t want to risk the film’s release and it won’t be a big deal if it is delayed by a week. The film took about a year to produce and surely the producers do not want to risk its fate at the box-office by clashing with Ayodhya-Babri Masjid cases.
Anjaana Anjaani, directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala (under his Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment Pvt. Ltd banner) and Sharan Kapoor (under his IBC Motion Pictures banner) features Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Zayed Khan. The film’s music is by Vishal-Shekhar and cinematography by Ravi K. Chandran.
The romantic comedy film is about Kiara (Priyanka Chopra), based in San Francisco, while Akash (Ranbir Kapoor) is a New York City boy, both trying to find luck after several failures in their careers and in love lives. Both are fed up and they decide to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge (Brooklyn Bridge? Remember the poem by American poet Carl Sandberg?), and they land up on the same bridge at the same time, when instead of killing himself, Akash stops Kiara from jumping and tells her to travel with him to Las Vegas, the sin capital of the world, to make it big (from gambling?).

Wallpaper: Priyanka Chopra in What's Your Raashee?
The Bollywood movie “What's Your Raashee?”, directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, starring Priyanka Chopra and Harman Baweja in the lead roles is the second film by the pair, after the disastrous film ‘Love Story 2050’, which mostly received negative reviews from the critics despite being one of the biggest and the most expensive films of 2008. Love Story 2050 crashed as a disaster in India and overseas markets and could not recover its budget making Adlabs lose over 40 crores.
Unlike their earlier film, ‘What's Your Raashee?’ in which Priyanka Chopra plays twelve different roles, each representing twelve zodiac signs, was premiered in TIFF and promoted very well. It is going to do well as reported. The film also has evoked a lot of curiosity, as Priyanka is, perhaps, the first actor in world cinema to play twelve different characters in a single film. The characters played by Priyanka in the movie are Anjali (Aries), Vishakha (Taurus) Kajal (Gemini), Hansa (Cancer), Mallika (Leo), Pooja (Virgo), Rajni (Libra), Nandini (Scorpio), Bhavna (Sagittarius), Jhankhana (Capricorn), Sanjana (Aquarius) and Chandrika (Pisces), all as brides for the same bride-seeker (Harman Baweja), who desperately wanted to have a marriage within ten days.
Interestingly, Priyanka Chopra is to play seven different roles in another movie by Vishal Bhardwaj in which she will be playing the roles of seven wives instead of twelve prospective brides she played in ‘What's Your Raashee?’. Vishal, impressed by her in 'Kaminey', and also having seen the rushes of her twelve roles, is yet to finalize her screen husbands. The film will go on the floors as soon as the male actors are finalized to pair opposite her.
