Is it a coincidence that the amount of money put into publicity equals the success of the movie? In that case, Harry Baweja should be very depressed, after all the work and effort he put into Love Story 2050 only to have it crash and burn at the box office.
What did succeed however is the debut of Aamir Khan's nephew Imraan Khan in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, which looks like it will be a commercial success even though it was on a lesser budget than LS 2050 and took less time to shoot. Harry is literally pulling his hair at the bad reviews that LS 2050 is getting...on the other hand, Aamir is bringing Imraan in on another one of his projects.
A source reports,
"Aamir always had Imraan at the back of his mind but was vary of how the audience would connect with him in his debut film,"
"But since the verdict is now out, loud and clear, in Imraan's favor, Aamir has decided to go with him."
"Aamir wants Imraan to experiment with every film and not get stuck in a lover boy image. Delhi Belly is a sex comedy and the character of the protagonist will be surprisingly different from what audiences expect of Imraan. Aamir wants Imraan to surprise everyone,"
So Aamir is hoping to make Imran into...well, him. I guess from the recent newcomers in the industry, including Harman Baweja and Ranbir Kapoor, Imran is the most bankable.
There is still no leading lady cast for Delhi Belly as yet, but the girls will be queuing up to have a go in Aamir's production house, which seems to be taking over from Yash Raj...at least in making consistently hit movies...so far.
