Though Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is based on a fictitious story, it has incidents from real life interwoven in the plot.
The movie, launchpad of Aamir Khan’s nephew Imran Khan , sees the graduation of Abbas Tyrewala from script and screenplay writing to direction.
Abbas, who has written the screenplay for films like Maqbool and Main Hoon Na , had a very original light-hearted romantic story set on a college campus for his directorial debut but he wanted to add realism to it. So he put in incidents from his own college days.
"I treated the film exactly as I remembered my college days…All the events are based on true incidents. Only the basic story is from the realm of fantasy," Abbas tells a news agency in an interview.
The movie’s story revolves around a group of college friends. Imran and Genelia D’Souza play two characters diametrically opposite to each other. The group also has another guy who harbours a secret crush on Genelia. And there is also a girl whose heart throbs for Imran. How love sprouts between Imran and Genelia, two unlikely people, is what the film is about.
Though the film is the launchpad of Imran, it was never intended to be this way. The film was initially meant to be produced by Jhamu Sughand. Aamir Khan came on board as producer much later, when Sughand expressed his inability to produce it. And even though Aamir decided to produce the film, he told Abbas not to treat it as the lauchpad of his nephew Imran.
‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’ releases on July 4.
