Story Line
LOVE U... MR. KALAKAAR! is about Sahil (Tusshar), a cartoonist, an artist who derives his inspiration from emotions that come from the sky, from the earth, a scrap of paper, a passing shape, a spider's web, while Ritu (Amrita) is a management trainee, whose world revolves around debits, credits, turnovers, profits, deadlines. She falls in love with Sahil. Will she help him "sketch" the new rules of business? An artist's simplicity amidst the dynamic corporate world!
Tusshar speaks on being the new Prem
Salman Khan has won most accolades after enacting Prem in many a Barjatya films. Hrithik Roshan and Abhishek Bachchan didn't gain in a similar manner though for MAIN PREM KI DEEWANI HOON before Shahid Kapoor saw some acclaim coming his way for his portrayal of Prem in VIVAH.
Now Tusshar Kapoor is all set to follow suit as he gets rechristened as the new age Prem in Rajshri's LOVE U...MR. KALAKAAR!
"This is a young love story and would be pretty much identified by the youth in India today", says Tusshar whose leading lady in the film is Amrita Rao, "It talks about the romance and relationships in the lives of today's youngsters. Also, at the core of it all, there is family drama as well.
"Yes, it is today's film but at the same time, just like any other Rajshri film, this one too would have a definite Indian feel to it", says Tusshar who is currently neck deep shooting for GOLMAAL 3, "The film isn't restricted within any boundaries though. It would be identified by both urban audience as well as those on small towns. After all any guy or a girl will always fall in love at least once in life. This movie is for every such youngster."
Tusshar said, “I am excited and feel privileged to be doing a film with the Rajshris. In the first week of March their office had called my manager Sanjay and told him that they wanted to meet me. A few days later when I went to their office, Soorajji was there. He met me and went away while S Manasvi, a first time director from the Pune Institute, gave me the narration. I loved it and immediately said I’d do the film. They wanted a look test (with Amrita Rao) and now I am shooting in Filmcity for it! The first schedule started on July 6 and will end on August 15.”
A small twist in Rajshri’s thought process – the hero won’t be called Prem, a name made famous by Salman Khan. “My name is Saahil,” confirmed Tusshar. “I play a cartoonist. Being an artiste, I have a casual look, laidback and slightly unkempt. I wear jeans and shirts. I don’t have a stubble or wear glasses. It’s a romantic film, not a family drama. Amrita Rao is Ritu, a young, bubbly girl. It’s my first film with the Barjatyas and her second film with them (Vivaah).”
How is the rapport between Tusshar and Amrita? “She is so dedicated and methodical in her work. Our on-screen chemistry is good and we get along very well. We were meant to work together,” he said.Does Sooraj Bharjatya visit the sets? And how is it working with the Rajshri banner? “On the first day Soorajji came to wish us good luck, and once when he was in the area, he had dropped in to meet all of us,” answered Tusshar. “The set and the unit is different from the others I’ve worked with. Everyone is sweet and soft-spoken.
SALMAN KHAN playing cameo in
LOVE U...MR. KALAKAAR!
The magical combination of Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya is back after a long wait of eleven years!
Vikas Kapoor, Salman’s business manager, said, “Soorajji met Salman for this cameo. Salman agreed.”
The dynamic actor-producer duo were responsible for some mega hits of the yesteryears such as Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, and Hum Saath-Saath Hain. But whilst Sallu won the hearts of the audiences as the lead role Prem in the 90's era, his venture this time with Sooraj will only last as a cameo in his latest flick titled, Love u...Mr Kalakar.
The buzz is that friendship between Salman and Sooraj goes way back to the days where both made their debut with the monster hit, Maine Pyar Kiya. Ever since, Salman is said to have garnered much respect for Sooraj and the Barjatya family alike. However, 'this was fate that they simply did not have another wonderful opportunity to work together again for a long time.
But Sooraj changed all that recently when he met Salman and requested him to do a cameo in his film. Of course Salman was heard to have said yes without a second thought.
Madhoo to make a comeback
Actress Madhoo who made her debut opposite Ajay Devgn in Phool Aur Kaante and won critical acclaim for her performance in Mani Ratnam’s Roja, is all set to make a comeback with a Rajshri Production film, Love You Mr. Kalakaar.
