Remember Kate Beck-insale and John Cusack in Serendipity? Them meeting over Christmas shopping, getting attracted to one another though they are attached elsewhere?
Peter Chelsom’s Serendipity now has a desi avatar. Boney Kapoor’s Milenge Milenge — in the making for almost two years now, is getting ready for release.
Ironically, the film stars one-time lovers Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor.
Since their first post-split film Jab We Met was such a whammer, Boney wants to cash in on Milenge Milenge as the last film to feature the Jab We Met jodi.
For almost six months, the producer has been chasing his dream pair. But now the wait has ended. After months of dilly-dallying, Shahid and Kareena are dubbing for the film. Says the director Satish Kaushik, who is also Shahid’s neighbour. “He has already started dubbing for the film. Kareena will dub as soon as she returns from her overseas trip. Yes, the film does have elements of Serendipity.”
The title Milenge Milenge suggests something of the afterlife. “No, no. Milenge Milenge has got nothing to do with reincarnation. One film on that theme (Karzzzz) is more than enough.”
