Kajraare captures timeless moments in moving frames

The first look of Pooja Bhatt’s directorial venture Kajraare is finally out. Producer Bhushan Kumar of T-Series says that the film will brings picturesque virgin locales to life.

Kajraare is special since it sees the Bollywood debut of Mona Laizza, a popular Pakistani TV actress. She plays the lead opposite Himesh Reshammiya in the film, which is touted as an Indo-Pak love story. Apparently, around 70 girls auditioned for the role and Mona was zeroed in on.

The film is shot in the virgin locales of Lahore, Morocco and Europe. Himesh will play a lawyer. Needless to say, the film will have music by Himesh himself. The film is Pooja’s fourth directorial venture after Paap, Holiday and Dhokha. One hopes that Himesh’s mass appeal manages to pull through Kajraare, touted to be Pooja’s first commercial entertainer. The film is written by Mahesh Bhatt.

One knows the kind of history late Gulshan Kumar and Mahesh Bhatt created with Aashiqui. Now, with the new scions coming together, it looks like this Himesh-starrer will rewrite box office history yet again. The buzz is that the film is inspired by Frank Capra’s It Happened One Night.
