Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra will have parted ways but of their forthcoming film Teri Meri Kahani they apparently sizzle together.
There’s nothing like putting an act on screen in addition to off screen.
TMK has no similarity with Taiwanese film 'Three Times'
Director Kunal Kohli has dismissed comparisons between his Shahid Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra starrer 'Teri Meri Kahani' and Taiwanese film 'Three Times'
Both Shahid and Priyanka are seen in three different avatars over three time spans -- 1910, 1960 and 2012 -- within the film, comparable to 'Three Times' which features three separate love stories chronologically set in 1911, 1966 and 2005, with the similar lead actors, Shu Qi and Chang Chen.
The 2005 film was successful and won several awards. However, Kohli says his film is different. "I HAVEN'T seen the film ('Three Times') initially but someone told me about it while I USED TO BE making the film and that i happened to examine it. But I'D still say our film is totally different. It's only a coincidence," he said last evening, after unveiling the primary look.
"There isn't any similarity between the 2 films. Now-a-days if you wish to remake a film, you simply buy the rights and make the film. So if I NEEDED to make 'Three Times' I'D have bought the rights," he said.
Citing an example, Kohli said, "Like once I made 'Hum Tum' there has been a movie called 'Before Sunset' that came out six months later, and it had the precise opening like my film... where the fellow has lost his love and he
has released a book and the film starts with the click conference and he talks concerning the love he has lost."
As for the primary look trailer, there have been few sections which in some way seemed very similar to Shahid's last film, 'Mausam', where the hero happens to fulfill the leading lady, Sonam Kapoor in three different situations.
But Kohli says that each love story in some way has the elemental portion of love, meeting and parting how one can". meet and part ways is there in every love story, be it 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge', 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', 'Fanna', 'Hum Tum' or 'Veer Zaara'.
Whatever popular love story you take, it's all about meeting and parting. But how they meet, how they part ways is different in every love story or even on this story, it's different," he said. The film is up for release on June 22.
