Top 10 Saddest Break-ups in Bollywood: No. 8: Amitabh Bacchhan & Rekha
Sanjay Dutt’s niece to star in ‘Yeh Jo Mohabbat hai’
Producer Ashim Samanta is set to continue the legacy of Aradhana Films with his upcoming romantic flick “Yeh Jo Mohabbat hai”.
This will be his son, Aditya Samanta’s debut film and he will be seen with Sanjay Dutt’s niece, Nazia Hussain. The film is directed by Shree Narayan Singh.
Both Aditya and Nazia make a nice on screen couple. “I am very excited. I hope that they succeed. The chemistry on screen is excellent. They both look fantastic and like they are made for each other,” Ashim said on the music launch of the film Wednesday.
“She (Nazia) is exactly what we wanted. I auditioned so many girls. I wanted somebody young and innocent and not very modern. I wanted a mix of tradition and modernity and that was tough,” he added.
The music of the film is fresh and has been composed by Anu Malik, who was also present at the event along with the complete cast of the film. The film’s cast also includes veteran actors like Mohnish Behl, Rati Agnihotri and Farida Jalal.
Shakti Samanta’s banner Aradhana Films is known for its epic romantic dramas like Amar Prem, Kati Patang and Aradhana. “Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai” is also a romantic film but is modern in its outlook.
“Emotions like love don’t change with time. We might be portraying age old emotions in the film, but the film is very modern in its outlook,” Ashim said.

Ajay Devgn to copy ‘Jumping Jack’ moves in ‘Himmatwala’
He is known for playing intense roles, but now Ajay Devgn is ready to imitate Bollywood’s “Jumping Jack” Jitendra’s dance moves in his new film “Himmatwala”, which is based on the 1983 film of the same name.
“I am ready to do anything, be it action or dance… You can’t look at one department, it is a film in totality… I am looking at the whole film right now,” Ajay told reporters Wednesday.
Said Sajid Khan, director of the new version of “Himmatwala”: “Ajay’s image is action and intense oriented, but for me, he is a complete hero. He can do anything. Our film is not a take off on ‘Himmatwala’. It’s not a spoofy film.
“It is based on 1983 film ‘Himmatwala’ and it is my version of ‘Himmatwala’. You will get to see many things which were not there in ‘Himmatwala’. Actually, they are two different stories. We have taken rights officially for the film and for the two songs.”
Directed by Telugu filmmaker K. Raghvedra, Jeetendra and Sridevi-starrer “Himmatwala” was a super hit film of 1983.
Sajid says Jeetendra may do a guest appearance in his film.
“I will ask Jeetu-ji to do a cameo in the film. For Ajay, it is like homecoming because his dad did action for ‘Himmatwala’. This time around the action will be completely new and different.”
Ajay said: “I am asking him (Jeetendra) to do that cameo. I don’t know if he would do that or not.”
To be co-produced by Vashu Baghnani and UTV Motion Pictures, the film’s leading lady is not yet finalised.
