Love Aaj Kal beats Ghajini

Saif-Deepika starrer ‘Love Aaj Kal’, which opened to packed houses all over, has reached the top slot in many places beating ‘Ghajini’. ‘Love Aaj Kal’ has released in over 1,800 screens and has reportedly taken over the highest grosser of 2008-‘Ghajini’.

The film has taken a superb initial and the opening is at par with ‘Ghajini’. The film is being expected to soon emerge as one of biggest hits in the overseas market as well.

Love Aaj Kal seems to have impressed the youth croud for its contemporary approach to love relationships in urban India, where the characters are not hesitant about calling off their relationship to chase their personal goals.

Well, with the way Love Aaj Kal is heading, it seems that Saif Ali Khan is surely emerging as the No 1 Khan.

Kareena Kapoor irrks Deepika Padukone

Bollywood can get so weird sometimes. Surprisingly, the much-talked-about film Love Aaj Kal has been in the news more for Kareena Kapoor's absence than for Deepika Padukone’s presence . It could be because Saif Ali Khan, who produces and plays the lead role was expected to rope in his real life girlfriend and not Deepika.

Deepika is irked by the talks on Kareena's exclusion from the film. She has told her friends that Love Aaj Kal should be dedicated to Kareena. Deepika did confirm that it must be the first time in the history of cinema that a leading lady is being talked about so much for not being in the film.

However, Deepika is not annoyed with Kareena for drawing all the attention. She is sure that people will start talking about her once the film is released. She revealed that Imtiaz Ali was sure that she should act in the film and offered her the role even before the release of her debut film Om Shanti Om.

Deepika understands Saif-Kareena situation quite well. She said that it's natural for Saif to be very keen on casting his ladylove Kareena in his home production. She added that she would be disappointed if she were in Kareena's place, as she too wants to act with her beau Ranbir Kapoor.

Saif Ali Khan searches a blonde girl in the streets

Actor turned producer Saif Ali Khan had been on a lookout for a special blonde girl and he walked that extra mile to find her. Well, the news doesn’t concern his personal life but is strictly professional. The actor-turned-producer had to literally walk the streets of San Francisco to spot a ‘blonde girl’ for an important role in ‘Love Aaj Kal’.

It so happened that during the shoot of ‘Love Aaj Kal’, director Imtiaz Ali shot down the girls selected by the casting agent in the US. So, Saif-Imtiaz had no other choice but to go for road auditions.

"We had gone to the US to do a reassessment of the location twice and we got everything in place except for the blonde American-looking girl who would play an important person in Saif`s life in the movie. It was an easy cast as everyone thought getting a blonde girl would be a no-brainer. The casting director there showed me many pictures but I somehow did not like anyone. We were very tense as we just had three days left to find someone, train her and shoot with her," said Imtiaz.

Imtiaz further stated that they got their special ‘blonde girl’ outside a nightclub.

"Still we were not getting anybody...till the last night before we were supposed to shoot when a person from the crew spotted a girl outside a nightclub and called me. Her name was Luna Livinsky and she was a 23-year-old born to hippie parents. I loved her and she was open to work with us. Saif too gave the nod and we shot with her the very next day. She has done a good job in the film given the short notice period," Imtiaz said.

Well, Luna seems to be one lucky blonde girl!
