Salman and Rani's look in Saawariya



Rani Mukherjee, the reigning Queen Bee of Bollywood buzzes again! She is all set to create hysteria with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus, Saawariya. This is the first of her two mega projects, in which she plays a prostitute, the second being Laaga Chunari Mein Daag. With the spotlights refusing to leave the film's debutantes Ranbir and Sonam, it becomes needless to say as to who will be the spotlight's next darling!

Its official now to 'reveal' that Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's dream boy from his magnum opus Saawariya, has to do some screen sharing with Salmanbhai. Of late, Salman was seen wooing all the Gods, irrespective of the religions, including celebrating Ganeshotsav recently! From the above picture, it seems that he plays a Muslim clergy in this film. It's only fair to say that 'Variety, thou second name is Salman Khan'! By the way, this is Salman Khan's third film with Bhansali, the other two being Khamoshi and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's unveils his ambitious "Saawariya"

MUMBAI: The music launch of 2007's most eagerly awaited movie "Saawariya" was an emotional moment for filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, his protgs debutantes Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor and their parents Rishi and Anil Kapoor respectively.

The newcomers were presented for the first time at the music launch of the film which releases on November 9. They were introduced by Salman Khan and Rani Mukherji, who play guest roles in
"Saawariya".

Ranbir, aware of the Kapoor legacy and his debut film which Bhansali said was a a tribute to the RK banner, was visibly nervous on stage. He said he would work hard to prove that he was worthy of his family name.

Sonam could not hold back her tears and wept on Bhansali's shoulders. When asked whether her taking centre stage as a leading lady would mean her dad Anil Kapoor would now have to content with fatherly roles, the doting daughter said her father would continue to be 'Lakhan' (his character in the film Ram Lakhan) and a leading man.

"He is more energetic than me. I am just in my early 20s. But he works out for two hours more than me every morning,'' she said.

The music was launched by Anil and Rishi Kapoor in the presence of their respective family members. Rishi Kapoor's brothers Randhir, Rajiv, sister Reema Jain and her family, Natasha Nanda daughter of Rishi's elder sister Riu Nanda and the Kapoor matriarch Krishna Raj Kapoor were present. Anil Kapoor's father Surinder Kapoor, brother Sanjay Kapoor and his family, Arjun, son of Boney Kapoor were present to cheer Sonam. Ranbir's mother Neetu Kapoor and Sonam's mother Sunita Kapoor were also called on stage by Bhansali.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali described the making of "Saawariya" as the most exciting phase of his career. ''I needed two young newcomers and I got them in Ranbir and Sonam. They are like my own children and the time spent with them gave me a fresh perspective to life and new way to look at movies. I suddenly feel alive once again,'' he added.

When Rani Mukherji was asked if she felt that her and Salman's presence in "Saawariya" would overshadow the debutants, she replied,''In fact, these newcomers would overshadow us. We are in the film because Sanjay wanted us to be in it.''

Commenting on the music, Sanjay said apart from the debutant actors, he had a debutant music director too. ''When Monty Sharma did the background score for my Black and Devdas, I recognized that special spark in him and with Saawariya he has turned into a full fledged music composer. Monty, an exhilarating blend of spirituality, youh and madness has spent more than two years
composing and perfecting ten songs of Saawariya. I am also introducing two new singers Shail and Parthiv who will certainly bring alive the score,'' he said.

Paying special tribute to Salman, Bhansali said, '' I owe everything to Salman. If he had not done my first film Khamoshi, I would not be standing here before you.''

When Salman was asked about Ranbir Kapoor's debut, he replied in his witty style ,''He is making me feel nervous.''

Saawariya is produced by Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sanjay
Leela Bhansali films.

Lyricist Sameer said ,''Sanjay is one of the finest directors who are dedicated towards music. Saawariya needed very simple and youthful lyrics. Monty is new but a talented composer and I was inspired by his tunes.''

Interestingly, "Saawariya" releases on the same day as Shah Rukh Khan's "Om Shanti Om" on November 9th.
