VERY FILMI

Love Hurts
The first poster of I Hate Luv Storys by debutant director Punit Malhotra is out. It features a romantic scene with Sonam Kapoor holding out flowers to Imran Khan and telling him those eternal words of love,“Kuch kuch hota hai…tum nahin samjhoge.” Imran looks on bored and disinterested. Probably a sign of what the mass reaction is going to be.

Made in America
Hollywood actor Nicholas Brown,who has represented India in Rehaan Engineer’s play How To Survive Under Siege,has been roped in to act in Kites alongside Hrithik Roshan. He has also just been cast in the Hollywood/Indian co-production Mumbai Calling produced by Sooni Taraporewala. Looks like we have an Indophile on our hands. Go get him,Yash Chopra,if you want to jazz up your next film with some swish American accent.

A brand’s delight
In an industry renowned for throwing tantrums,R Madhavan’s the exception. Madhavan,who’s the brand ambassador for a car went to Delhi and completed a shoot despite suffering from malaria. The shoot was apprehended to be postponed but he not only came but shot for the ad brilliantly. And here we were thinking that honourable gentlemen were those extinct species you only found in movies and Jane Austen novels.
