Dostana director Tarun Mansukhani joins the growing community of the fans of Love Aaj Kal.
On his Facebook profile, he wrote, "Saw Love Aaj Kal..Again...And enjoyed it much more... Saif and Deepika are great...But kudos to the main hero…Imtiaz...Way to go!"
Fellow director and friend Abbas Tyrewala said that Veer Singh Panesar's character should have been introduced a little differently, slightly dramatically, to which Tarun replied, "Totally agree... The film is flawed… But then which film isn't… The eventuality is that one enjoyed the film... And I guess that's what counts… Right?"
And yes, he did find the beginning of the film a bit confusing. "The 1st five minutes was confusing…the audiences see different editing patterns and the next time someone tries it… they're more aware..." he tweeted.
He also loves the song Aaj Din Chadheya from the film. On his Twitter page, he wrote, "Am listening to "Aaj din Chadiya" from LAK…What wonderful lyrics!"
About Saif, he tweeted, "Isn't Saif brilliant in the film... Loved him as the Sardar... He was so fantastic... :-)." And about Imtiaz: "Imtiaz is the true star... Hats off to him!! Imtiaz is a genius. He tried something new."
So what's next for the director after Dostana? It's the sequel. He has been spending sleepless nights scripting the film and intends to make it bolder and sexier. Besides, Abhishek and John, the casting has not been decided. Filming will begin in mid 2010.
His latest tweet reads, "So people - help me write D2. I'm stuck at a scene where Sam n Kunal flirt with a girl. Any suggestions? Experiences? Clever lines maybe?"
