| Hurman will bounce back with 'It's My Life': Anees Bazmee By ANI, 14 February, 2009 |
 Hurman S. Baweja's 'Victory' may have fared poorly at the box office, but Annees Bazmi, the director of his next film 'It's My Life', is unperturbed. He says the actor would come out trumps with the light-hearted romantic film, which is a remake of Telugu superhit 'Bommarillu'.'Hurman is a hardworking boy and that is something we all would agree after both his films. They may not have worked, but in filmmaking there are so many factors that decide the fate of a movie at the box office. Hurman has done very well in 'It's My Life'. The audience will love his pairing with Genelia D' Souza,' Bazmee told IANS. Hurman's all three forthcoming projects are very high profile. While his immediate release is 'It's My Life', it will be followed by Ashutosh Gowariker's 'What's Your Rashee' where he is paired opposite Priyanka Chopra. His next would be a Sanjay Leela Bhansali project which is still untitled. 'It's My Life' is a critical project not only for Hurman, after a hat- trick of successes in the form of 'Singh Is Kinng', 'Welcome' and 'No Entry', Bazmee too has to prove a point - that he can set the cash registers ringing even when it comes to romantic films. 'You are forgetting 'Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha'. It was a good success as well, but was there any comedy? It was a complete musical entertainer, something that I can vouch for 'It's My Life' as well. With the film, I am sure Hurman will bounce back.' Bazmee isn't too worried about recession either. According to him, it isn't really impacting the films being directed by him. 'The entire boom followed by burst was witnessed in last two-three years while I have been in the industry for 30 years. I think I can say that I have seen it all quite closely. This is why I have never been unreasonable when it comes to the budget of my films. It has always been set in a decent range; hence the price cut doesn't impact my films. He argues that films are doing well even today. 'Look at the back-to-back success of 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' and 'Ghajini'. People did go to watch them in theatres, even when all thought that post- Mumbai terror attacks, no one would venture into theatres. This means that films are doing well even today. Even 'Chandni Chowk To China' did fetch in good numbers to begin with. It's just the price which is failing,' said Bazmee. Meanwhile, the shooting of 'It's My Life' will soon enter its last leg with the final schedule in Delhi, which is expected to take place soon. Bazmee is confident that this film, which also stars Nana Patekar in a key role, would be ready for release in June-July. The film is being produced by Sanjay Kapoor. |
