Nazia Hussain

When Krushna Abhishek replaced uncle Govinda for a film

It is sad to see a film like Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai not getting enough screens for exhibition. Though it has got a few multiplexes but only for a few shows, it is unlike what producer Ashim Samanta had envisaged about. Grouses Samanta, “It seems the multiplex cartel has decided not to release non-star cast films (the film stars Aditya Samanta and Nazia Hussain) because they say that they don’t get numbers. We had not asked for 10 screens in town and the suburbs respectively; we have asked for just one. Alas!”

Back after a four year-hiatus, when he last made the comedy venture Don Muthuswami, Ashim Samanta, in his zest to carry on the legacy of his late father Shakti Samanta, is launching son Aditya Samanta in his upcoming film <em>Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai</em> that releases on 3 August (2012). Movie Chakkar cornered the filmmaker who is busy with the film’s release procedures. Excerpts… <strong>Why a film after a gap of four years? </strong>

In his pursuit to carry on the legacy that his father the late Shakti Samanta left behind, his son Ashim Samanta has launched his son Aditya Samanta in his soon-to-be released film <em>Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai</em>. The film, that also stars Nazia Hussain, is set in a set of two proud Indian families comprising of the Rathores and Choudharys who are both wealthy hoteliers from Udaipur. An unsolved murder of a family combined with business rivalry and the need to prove their up-manship deepens the enmity.
