More news →Hamari Adhuri Kahani' gets 'U' certificate
Mohit Suri's forthcoming directorial "Hamari Adhuri Kahani" has been given a 'U' certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification. Starring Emraan Hashmi, Vidya Balan and Rajkummar Rao in lead roles, the movie is a love story that tries to define the true meaning of loving someone selflessly. "My film is a complete family movie. It is about love and longing. It questions the known meaning of what love between a man and woman should be because my film shows a married woman falling in love with a man after her husband disappears," Suri said in a statement. "Even though he returns to her life after many years, he stakes claim over her because they are married. It's a story that makes you think if marriage is the true culmination of love or is there a deeper meaning to love someone selflessly," Suri said. "Hamari Adhuri Kahani" releases on June 12.
Vidya trained with florist for 'Hamari Adhuri Kahani'
Actress Vidya Balan trained with a florist for her role in "Hamari Adhuri Kahani". In the Mohit Suri directorial, Vidya plays the role of a florist who works at a hotel owned by Emraan Hashmi's character -- a hotelier. Vidya wanted to be trained with a florist to look authentic on screen. Suri agreed and hired a trained florist from a five-star hotel in Mumbai. "Vidya is known to give her very best for the roles she gets sold on to, and she got deeply connected with her character Vasudha in 'Hamari Adhuri Kahani'. She wanted to give 200 percent for the film and as a director I was simply thrilled to have a talented actor like her investing so much for my film." "We hired a florist who trained her for the part. We were all amazed at her dedication to even get into such intricate things. No wonder audiences love what Vidya Balan has to offer in her movies," Suri said in a statement.
Mahesh Bhatt to sing for 'Hamari Adhuri Kahani' play
A rendition of the "Hamari Adhuri Kahani" title song by Mahesh Bhatt was not used in the film, but a forthcoming stage production will feature a version, sung by the filmmaker himself. "We will record the title song 'Hamari Adhuri Kahani' in Mahesh Bhatt's voice and use it in play. Initially, Bhatt saab was reluctant, but Pooja (Bhatt) and I convinced him to record it," actor Imran Zahid, who plays the lead role of Aarav in the play, told. When it comes to lending music to his stories, Mahesh Bhatt is very particular, and it is said that every time a track is rehearsed for recording, he first sings it in his own voice to gauge its depth. So, when the title track for the film "Hamari Adhuri Kahani" was being rehearsed, he picked it up in his own voice. Pooja then recorded it, and put it out on video-sharing platform YouTube, and wrote: "An uncut diamond straight from my treasure chest- never seen before footage of my father Mahesh Bhatt singing Hamari Adhuri Kahani minutes after it was composed." The rendition wasn't used for the film, but when "Hamari Adhuri Kahani" the play was being conceived, Imran suggested that his track be used for the play. A fresh recording and approach to the track was all that was needed. According to a source, Mahesh Bhatt had bluntly refused the idea initially, but Imran stressed upon the outcome the track could produce and urged Pooja to convince her father to record the song one more time. Finally, the senior Bhatt agreed to lend his voice for the track, which will be played during the course of the play. "Hamari Adhuri Kahani" is inspired by Mahesh Bhatt's life as the son of a mother, who lived a difficult, solitary life as her husband, whom she loved so intensely, was conspicuous by his absence. The story, according to him, is written from the perspective of this young single mother and how she deals with the world. The film, directed by Mohit Suri, saw Vidya Balan, Emraan Hashmi and Rajkummar in key roles. Now, the play, which features Delhi-based theatre artist Raichittri Gupta as the female lead, is set to be staged here next month. The movie and the play are based on the novel "All That Could Have Been", co-written by Mahesh Bhatt and Suhrita Sengupta.
