Harman Baweja to Debut in Bollywood with High-Budget Film ‘Love Story 2050’

There are some movies that come into lime light even before hitting the screens and there are some actors or actresses who make the newspaper headlines even before having their first movie released. If you do not agree with me then let me tell you that the upcoming romantic flick Love Story 2050 is in evidence of what I claim.

The movie Love Story 2050 is directed by Harry Baweja, who is going to introduce his son Harman Baweja through this high-budget movie. The movie is based on a futuristic plot where the Mumbai city of 2050 will be showcased. Priyanka Chopra will be seen opposite Harman Baweja in this romantic movie. Set in a time line of 2050, the movie is based on a romantic story.

The movie has already been one of the much-awaited movies of the tinsel town this year. No doubt, its whopping budget of Rs 60 crores has been instrumental to bring the movie under the lime light. Moreover, the movie is going to launch a starry looking actor opposite a former Miss World. Director Harry Baweja admitted that a lot of special effects have done in the movie which costs a big amount. So, you can see, the movie is full of glitz, romance and fantasy.

India Times reported:

Harry Baweja explains, “The concept of the film was such that it would not have been possible for us to make the movie on a low budget. The setting of the film is in 2050 where Mumbai will be shown as a city of high-rises and flying cars.
The futuristic backdrop demanded a lot of special effects and we have employed everything from Videographics to SFX in the film. Just 5 minutes of special effects cost us 60 lakhs”.

Well, it seems that the movie includes everything required to be successful in the box office. However, some of the high-budget movies of late did not work well in the box office. Saawariya had a budget of Rs. 40 crores, Jodhaa Akbar had Rs 41 crores, but the movies were not as successful as these were expected. However, with a budget of Rs 35 crores, Om Shanti Om rocked the box office last year. So, it will be interesting to see how the fans of Bollywood take the film Love Story 2050. The movie is expected to hit the screens on June 13, 2008.

Hey ,
Nice post.
Liked your take on Harman Baweja.
I have been waiting for this guy since like ages now.

Saw this video - the newer promo for the film, and methinks he looks a lot like Hrithik Roshan.

I think this film is a good mix of science fiction and lovestory, and moreover, with kids in it, it;s sure gonna attarct a decent fanfare. Whatsay ?
