Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna
This will be the second time the Amitabh has worked with blockbusting director Karan Johar, the first time being the sensational Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Ghum. Amitabh's role in the feature film is not clear and is not expected to be as high profile as the role of Yashorvardan Raichand in K3G. The film's story is not also clear but early indications suggest it is a loose drama based on extra-marital affairs, something unusual from Karan Johar, who is famous for family flicks. The film's other stars are Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukherji, Preity Zinta and Arjun Rampal. And for the third time, Amitabh will share screen time with son Abhishek Bachchan. Karan Johar has denied that the story is based on the Hollywood hit Closer, or that it was inspired from Silsila. But he has stated that the idea of the story came from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black. Which sounds a little odd, as Black virtually had no romance or extra marital affairs? Karan Johar has stated that Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna explores the darker side of human relationships and each of his characters has grey shades, unlike the previous goody-two-shoes characters in his previous feature films. As part of a marketing campaign, Preity Zinta will appear in the popular soap Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi to promote Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna in the month of July.
