Aiyaa

South superstar Prithviraj seems to be climbing the popularity ladder quite rapidly. We all know that after having impressed people around with his acting skills in Anurag Kashyap’s <em>Aiyaa</em> in which he starred opposite Rani Mukerji, the actor was roped by Yash Raj Films for their upcoming film <em>Aurangzeb</em>. Now, the actor has been signed by choreographer-director Farah Khan for her upcoming film <em>Happy New Year</em> in which he would be sharing screen space with Bollywood biggies like Shah Rukh Khan and Abhishek Bachchan.

A superstitious Rani Mukerji has preponed the release of her film Aiyaa from 24 October to 12th of the same month. The actress, who believes that 3 is her lucky number has brought about the change. A source from the production says, “Rani is very charged about the film and has even hired her own team to look into the marketing and promotion of it. Ever since she agreed to be a part of the project, she has been involved in every department. Considering her lucky number is 3, she decided to prepone the film by two weeks.”

Come September 2012, the month is set to go down as a month when films of four big heroines would be released. It is already known that Madhur Bhandarkar’s Kareena Kapoor-starrer <em>Heroine</em> will release on 21 September (2012) and so are the release dates of R Balki’s Sridevi-starrer <em>English Vinglish</em> and Preity Zinta’s <em>Ishq In Paris</em>. The Rani Mukerji-starrer <em>Aiyaa</em> releases a week later on 28 September.
