Jaaneman is a love triangle starring Salman Khan , Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta in the lead roles.
And director Sirish Kunder is pretty excited about the film as it is his directorial debut.
Kunder says 'Jaaneman' is purely a musical having some outstanding melodies without any dancing by his choreographer wife Farah Khan .
"Farah is known to bully her directors who let her do what she wants. But here, she had to contend with me-her husband and when I told her that I did not want dancing as all were story songs, there were lot of fireworks initially," Kunder told reporters at Cinemax in Mumbai where the film's producer Sajid Nadiadwala and United Film Organizers (UFO Moviez), the world's largest digital cinema network, has announced their tie up to screen the film in 400 UFO digital screens in the country.
"I am a dreamer and a compulsive people-watcher especially at international airports and five star lobbies. My head is forever teeming with stories. Farah is my sounding board and when I tell her a story idea she reacts immediately. When she told Sajid Nadiadwala about this particular story, Sajid's reaction was immediate and positive overnight. I found myself scripting a film," Kunder who is a well-known film editor said.
He said he wanted Gulzar to do the screenplay and dialogues but Gulzar told him that since the story was so visual only he (Kunder) could write them. "But he was kind enough to pen the lyrics," Kunder said.
Nadiadwala who is producing 'Jaaneman' said Farah was like his sister and when she gave him a two minute narration of a story idea Kunder had, he instantly said, "I will make it".
"I am very selective about script and usually it takes me couple of years to finalise a film. Here, I committed Rs 35 crore to a two-minute narration. I am very family oriented and was confident that Kunder would pull off the multiple roles of writer-director and editor. The entire process took one year. There was lot of brainstorming, debate and arguments. But in the end, both of us were satisfied with the end result."
