Parineeti Chopra: Harder you fight, Higher you soar!

“4 years ago, a chubby, childish girl was

introduced to the world.

4 years later, I am where I want to be.

A very special photoshoot, made me get rid of

my inhibitions, and portray the strong, confident

girl I feel today.

Anybody who thinks it’s a challenge,

Take it from me – you can also do it!

Because I am sure that, like me, like me, even you are

built that way.”

-Parineeti Chopra

Dawat-e-ishq now to release in September

With the release date of Aditya Roy Kapur - Parineeti Chopra starrer, Dawat-e-ishq shifting to September, everyone wonders why the change?

However, the real reason for the date to shift is that the producer Aditya Chopra felt the need to add a couple of songs more to the film.

The producer after watching the cut of the film realized how interesting the film has turned out to be which has only increased the potential of the film.

The film is no less than a huge YRF production and they want to leave no stone unturned with regards to this film.

And since additional shoot would consume some time now, they were of the opinion to push the release.

Also Sept 5 is a lucky date for YRF with Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and Shudh Desi Romance releasing on the same weekend.

Habib Faisal goes down South for his forthcoming film Dawat E Ishq

Habib Faisal likes to explore the north of India. All his film has a strong characteristic of the place it has been shoot in. The director who likes to shoot his films in Delhi and Lucknow has his way to show the city in perfect light.

For the first time for his upcoming film Dawat E Ishq, the director has gone to the south of India. Dawat-E-Ishq starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Parineeti is set in Hyderabad milieu.

The actor has got this inspiration from his wife. Not may know Habaib’s wife is a deccani. The director is inspired by her culture.

He was keen to show the Hyderabadi Culture in a very authentic manner. Dawat E Ishq is very close to the director as it is inspired by his wife's mother tongue.

The film will have an authentic flavour of deccani or hyderabadi comes from his wife.

Shuddh Desi Romance - Bollywood film review ***

A romantic comedy which tells it like it is; and like it isn’t.

Does what starts physical always turn into love? And what reaches love, always turn into commitment? How do you figure out?

Shuddh Desi Romance is a fresh and real love story about the hair-raising minefield between love, attraction and commitment. Supposedly a romantic comedy that tells it like it is, but it isn’t.

Having a talented cast in this candid look at the affairs of the heart in today’s desi heartland like the endearing Rishi Kapoor, handsome Sushant Singh Rajput, Parineeti Chopra yet it is the debutant Vaani Kapoor who impressed the most.

This rom-com, directed by Maneesh Sharma, written by Jaideep Sahni, and produced by Aditya Chopra is a journey of three restless young people who junk the society’s syllabus for finding love and decide to follow their heart.
