The film ‘Ishaqzaade’ is mainly a romantic drama. The film stars Parineeti Chopra, the cousin of Priyanka Chopra who has gained popularity for her work in “Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl’ and Arjun Kapoor, the son of filmmaker Boney Kapoor. The rest of the cast of this film is equally interesting. The music has been given by well known music director Amit Trivedi while the lyrics have been given by   Kausar Munir. The choreography has been done by the duo who had won the National Award for their outstanding work in the Hrittik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan starrer ‘Jodha Akbar’, i.e. Rekha and Chinni Prakash. Though the film is mainly a romantic drama, action plays an important part in it too. So, Sham Kaushal was chosen in order to handle the action part of this film.


Apart from the lead actors, the negative character is also played by a new face in ‘Ishaqzaade’. The name of the actor in this role is Aftab Ahmad. Along with them, we cannot leave out the name of Katrina Kaif who will once again be seen in an item number in the film, after her highly successful number in ‘Agneepath’.

The story of the film is based in the rural areas of Uttar Pradesh. It shows the journey of two lovers, played by Arjun and Parineeti, in this rural backdrop. It shows how their love grows among the intense political confines of the rural parts of India. These two young people were born so that they could despise one another. But as fate would have it, they fall in love.


The film deals with how their love blossoms in spite of the problems and unbelievable political confines. The tag line of the film itself says ‘Ishaqzaade hain jitney fasano mein, milte hain kahan ab jahanon mein’.A major part of the shooting of the film has been done in Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh, in order to capture the essence and feel of the village areas. The shooting had begun on 15th October, 2011. The apart that has been shot in Hardoi, was done mainly in the month of November. The film is all set to release in the month of May in 2012.


This is a big film for Yash Raj too and there is no doubt that they will pull out all stops to make it big. The actors too are working very hard for this film. Arjun Kapoor has stated that he did not need classes for acting as it runs in his blood, coming from a family that has already been involved with Bollywood. But there is also a lot of action in the film. So Arjun had to work very hard in order to maintain the desired level of fitness. Moreover, the film’s actress has already raised expectations with her performance in her last film. So can she set the bar even higher with ‘Ishaqzaade’? We will be able to know for sure when the film releases in May.
