Yash Chopra and Karan Johar come together for ‘The Movie’!

by Aaina on April 1, 2005

Two of the biggest names of the India Film Industry, Yash Chopra and Karan Johar, have joined hands for a Magnum Opus, also known as ‘the dream movie’ in Yashji’s own words. Karan Johar is overwhelmed with the idea of making a film such as this one. He claims that every Indian is going to want to watch this movie after they see the trailors. Well, here’s why the dynamic duo is so excited about this movie…

This masterpiece will be nothing like the movies seen in the past. One reason for this is the biggest star cast ever seen in a film. The film includes thirty-four talented stars! It’s not very often that one gets to see a film full of actors from three generations. Yashji and Karan Johar believe that this is by far the biggest advantage of this movie. They emphasized that by getting the three generations of actors in one big film, they will be able to fill the movie with a lot of emotions. Johar adds that in this way, the newer generation of actors can also learn a lot from the more experienced one. And of course, the biggest advantage of a muti-starrer would be to completely entertain the audience.

Director, Karan Johar was kind enough to provide us with the list of the star cast and here it is: Amitabh Bachchan – Rekha, Dharmendra – Hema Malini, Rishi Kapoor – Neetu Singh, Rajesh Khanna – Sharmila Tagore, Shahrukh Khan – Kajol Devgan, Aamir Khan – Karishma Kapur, Salman Khan – Madhuri Dixit Nene, Saif Ali Khan – Rani Mukherjee, Akshay Kumar – Priyanka Chopra, Hrithik Roshan – Preity Zinta, Vivek Oberoi – Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan – Sushmita Sen, John Abraham – Bipasha Basu, Shahid Kapoor – Kareena Kapoor, Dino Morea – Lara Dutta, Arjun Rampal – Diya Mirza, Zayed Khan – Esha Deol. Isn’t that the star cast of a ‘dream movie’?

What’s surprising is that the star cast worked out perfectly. These were the jodis that Yashji and Karan had in mind when they started planning out the movie. All the stars agreed, despite a few date problems. Preity Zinta cheered and danced around in here bubbly self, after signing the contract at the pre-shooting press conference held at none other than the humble actor, Shahrukh Khan’s residence, Mannat. Bar a few absences, all the stars were present at the party. Here, Yashji disclosed names of the others involved in the project such as the music director, lyricist, choreographer, action director, etc but the film still remains to be titled. Since we were able to catch up on the details, music of the movie is to be directed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. The lyricist is none other than the renowned Javed Akhtar and Farah Khan will make the stars dance on the tunes.

Now, won’t this be your dream movie? Mine too! Too bad it’s not true! Happy April Fool’s day to you…hope you get fooled again. :P

Interesting…. but if this is 3 Hour movie, that means each actor pair will get 10 minutes role in the movie ;)

Hey! It’s been busy this week. I got 3 shots on my left on the same day! My
arm is still sore. Anyways…I still haven’t finished my homework. I got my permit today (again). This time I’m gonna use it and not wait until it expires. Well, write back soon and tell me whatever. P.S. I can’t wait until we graduate and I leave for college, (I found out recently that I don’t have to pay any of my tuition for the 04-05 year, giving me lots of money!!!). See you Monday.
