Earlier titled as Love Story, Kismat Talkies will mark the debut of Javed Akhtar’s daughter and Farhan Akhtar’s sister Zoya Akhtar as a director. The film will also mark the comeback of Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor who have earlier worked in films like Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham, Yaadein, Mujhe Dosti Karoge and Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon.
Rumours are there that Hrithik and Kareena have opted out of the film but the production house Excel Entertainments denies all such stories. Kareena Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan have earlier featured in four films and this will be the first time that they will be directed by a woman director.
The film is based on a romantic plot. After playing a double role in his debut Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, Hrithik Roshan will be seen in yet another double role in Kismat Talkies. The story revolves around the confusion that is created due to the double role of the protagonist. Hrithik plays a model in the film. He is in complete awe of Priyanka Chopra. He even goes on to express his love for her but later on confusion infuses in the plot due to the love story that revolves around the look alike of Hrithik and Kareena Kapoor, a hooker.
The film’s soundtrack is being composed by ‘Teen Ka Kamaal’ trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. The film’s plot has been knitted by Zoya Akhtar and the shooting of the film will begin in 2008 at various locales of India.
Zoya Akhtar was supposed to enter the film industry with ‘Luck By Chance’ as a director but the film did not go on the floors due to unknown reasons. Lets hope that kismat shines for Zoya through her Kismat Talkies.
