MERE BROTHER KI DULHAN | IMRAN KHAN LATEST UPDATE | IMRAN KHAN GOSSIPS | IMRAN KHAN UPDATES | GOSSIPS OF IMRAN KHAN | LATEST GOSSIP OF MERE BROTHER KI DULHAN

While most of the young actors in the industry are dying to work with A-list women, Imran Khan, who is doing a filmi comedy for the first time, says that the thought of working with Katrina Kaif never crossed his mind before he was signed on with her

Imran Khan and Katrina Kaif seem to be hitting if off really well and those who have managed to get a sneak peek at Mere Brother Ki Dulhan are vouching for a great chemistry between the two. But when asked if Kat was ever on his wish list, Imran said, “I don’t have a wish list of heroines. You are confusing me with someone else…never mind!” Well, it was pretty obvious who Imran was taking a dig at— none other than good friend Ranbir Kapoor! Even as we giggled into our coffee, we decided not to let him off the hook too easily. The truth is that Imran was supposed to work with Kat in a film directed by Sanjay Gadhvi over a year ago, but the project never happened. When probed about Kat being on his mind since then, he said, “We had spoken about working together earlier. There were offers, but the films never took off. I was amazed by how quickly things fell in place with Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. Shortly after I Hate Love Storys released, I met Adi (Aditya Chopra) and Ali (director Ali Abbas Zafar). I heard the script and loved it. I was committed to do a Dharma film with Kareena, but that was to start in December. I was going to take a holiday in the time being, but Fate had different plans. Coincidently, Katrina had dates too. So within a month we started shooting for the film!” The best wish lists are never made, it seems!

‘Mausam’ vs ‘Rockstar’ vs ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’, this September

September 9 this year will be the day when industry’s three heartthrobs Shahid Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan will strike the chord together with Mausam, Rockstar and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan respectively. Shahid’s Mausam has been postponed to release on September 9. This will mean that a stiff competition between the three is also expected.

Says the producer of Mausam, Sheetal Talwar, “I am sure all three films are good. We find September 9 as the right date to release Mausam. Now let the best man and the best film win. Let the audience take the decision.”

But shedding light on the expected business of the three films, Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh does not seem too happy with the three releases together. He says, “Even a Diwali weekend is not enough to accommodated three releases. And a non festive weekend by no means will be enough for three such big films which clashes three teen heartthrobs. The business of each film could get affected by almost 40 per cent.”

While Yash Raj Films is known to never postpone their films once they have fixed a release date, Taran Adarsh still hopes for a way out to avoid losses. He says, “I hope better sense prevails and they figure a way out of this. And it would be wrong to say that this clash will give us a clear winner among the three as none of the film will get enough time and space!” he adds.
