YAADEIN
Most Awaited Film Of The Year

Yaadein is one of the most-awaited films of the year, 2001. The Subhash Ghai film started shooting on July.15, 2000. Tips has aquired the India rights as well as the International rights for the film. The music director is Anu Malik.

"I am composing the music for Subhash Ghai's Yaadein. All songs are already recorded and the film is almost nearing completion. The first time Mr. Ghai approached me, I was very excited. It's really good to work with big directors and once the film is a hit, the music automatically becomes hit. Yaadein's audio cassettes and CD's will be out in early June. Besides Yaadein, I am also composing music for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas. The music is a combination of soul, heart, innocence, technology and emotion. We've mainly signed in Sonu Nigam for Hrithik's voice and for Kareena's voice, we have roped in Sunidhi Chauhan, Alka Yagnik and others. Yaadein is one of my best works and it's going to be a super-hit album," says music-director of Yaadein, Anu Malik.

"Yaadein is one of my dream project. It stars Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, Jackie Shroff and Rati Agnihotri in main roles. The film is all set to release on July.27, 2001. I've taken Anu Malik as the music director. He is such a talented music director. As for the lyricist, it's Anand Bakshi this time. We had shot scenes of Yaadein in Mumbai, Rajasthan, Pune and others in India and ofcourse abroad places like London and so on. This gives a change in background scene during the movie which is necesarry for all movies. Yaadein is produced by Ashok Ghai. We've had lots of adventures and interesting occassions during the shooting of Yaadein which are ofcourse unforgettable. The movie revolves around three sisters and Hrithik as the brother. Jackie Shroff and Rati Agnihotri play Kareena Kapoor's parents. All of them are child-hood friends. As for more, well you have to wait for the movie to release," says director, Subhash Ghai.

"Yaadein is my 4th release. It's pretty good to be in the Bollywood industry. I've always wanted to work with top directors and Subhash Ghai is one among them. His latest hit, Taal is mind-blowing and I know Yaadein will also click in music as well at the box-office. This is my first original romantic film. Ofcourse, Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai was there, but I don't consider it as a romantic film. As for Fiza & Mission Kashmir, they were action and had national-consciousness in them. Yaadein is about happy and sad moments and it is a musical film. I & Kareena have put a lot of efforts for the film and it ought to do well," adds Hrithik Roshan to the conversation.

"Yaadein is already insured for 14 crores and that makes the movie to do well. Yaadein revolves around me & Hrithik Roshan. I'm playing the main lead opposite Hrithik Roshan for the first time. The movie has been under-production for 8 months or more now and it intends to be completed by early July and the music release will be held in July mostly either at London or New Delhi. Subhash Ghai has been really friendly to me at the sets. We had a lot of adventurous circumstances and it was fun and exciting for all my shoot-outs till now. As for Hrithik Roshan, well he is not a boasting person. He is a really great guy. Okay, now I know what you want to know. No, I am not having an affair with Hrithik Roshan. I just take him as a friend and if we have 3 and one more films together, then what's the big deal. My other releases this year are Ajnabi, Ashoka & Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai along with Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum," says Kareena Kapoor.

Kareena Kapoor was seen with Hrithik Roshan on the sets of Kareena Kapoor. They were shooting in Pune at M.G.Road in the Camp Area.

Yaadein: Releasing World-wide on July.27, 2001.
