'Love Story 2050' portrays true picture of future Mumbai: Harman Baweja

Love Story 2050 , set for release on July 4, will depict the ''true picture'' of the Mumbai metropolis, including how it will look after more than four decades, claimed debutante hero of the Bollywood film Harman Baweja .

Speaking at a function in Bangalore to announce the association of Sun Microsystems, which provided the technology platform for the movie, produced and directed by Harman's father Harry Baweja , he claimed that the release was eagerly awaited throughout the country as it was the best sci-fi movie produced in India till date.

''We did our home work well as we have been working for nearly four years to put the theme on the screen. We toured 14 countries and 40 studios and shot more than 1,200 special effect shots, thanks to the platform provided by Sun to make the futuristic Mumbai look real,'' he said.

He said the movie had been produced after consulting a number of builders to know their perception about Mumbai in 2050.

''The landmark locations of Mumbai like the Gateway of India, Taj Hotel and Flora Fountain will be presented as they are, but the viewers will see along with them a score of 200-storyed buildings, flying cars and other futuristic items,'' Harman, who pairs with red-haired Priyanka Chopra in the movie, said.

''Indian movie goers, especially the youth, have become more demanding in terms of their expectation from a Hindi movie and Love Story-2050 is one such attempt to cater to such an audience,'' Harman added.

For the versatile Boman Irani , who plays the role of the 'mad scientist,' who creates the time machine to help the lovers travel to Mumbai of 2050, it was a 'rare occasion' to act in such a movie.

''Creating the time machine was really amazing. The Sun Microsystems technology helped us to do it. It was a long painful and arduous journey, but we all enjoyed it,'' he said.

Sun Microsystems Director K P Unnikrishnan said apart from being the technology partner, the Sun brand also appeared in the movie through some innovative in-film placements.

''This not only compliments the story line but also accentuates Sun's technology prowess,'' he added.

Unnikrishnan said Sun had a history with Hollywood films having rendered technology and on-site assistance to Paramount Pictures for technically challenging 'Big Buck Bunny.'

Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini

Bollywood Actress Rani Mukherjee's sexy in her bikini In Dil Bole Hadippa Believe it or not, but the whole ‘bikini top ‘n’ skimpy shorts’ avatar in short — flaunting Rani Mukerji’s hot new bod wasn’t her idea. Not even the producer or director had anything to do with it. After she realised how much she had toned up (to play a male cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!), Rani just happened to discuss this idea with her designer friend Manish Malhotra. And from there on it was Manish’s game plan, after all, he’s transformed many a Bollywood girl in to glam queens. He suggested that it would be a pity to waste such a well-toned body by not showing it off. That’s how the idea of a special song was born. And is she looking hot? Talk about her ‘shapely’ success, and Rani says, “Believe me, I didn’t starve at all. I love my food, especially rice and sweets. There was no way I was giving up all that. So, I just worked out harder and was occasionally allowed my ‘cheat’ meals of rice, sweets, etc. ...

'I have no heartfelt desire to work with SRK’: Ranbir Kapoor

Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor maintains he never said he was desperate to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, but admitted he would love to work with the superstar if a good project came his way. “I had no such dil ki tamanna (heartfelt desire) to work with Shah Rukh sir. But I respect him a lot. I am a big fan of him,” Ranbir told reporters on the margins of the HT Leadership Summit here Friday. The 28-year-old, who was here with his father, evergreen star Rishi Kapoor, says a superstar’s presence in a project isn’t reason enough for him to accept it. “It’s not that if a superstar will be there in a film, I’ll agree to do it. But if I like a film, I like its script, I would be more than glad to do it,” he added. Nevertheless, Ranbir enjoys the attention he gets from the youth.
