Speaking on the occasion of the release, Producer Director Harry Baweja said, “It is an extremely emotional day for the whole cast and crew, who have worked tirelessly over the past two years in making of this film. When you set out to do something that has never been attempted before (genre wise or budget wise or scale wise), one comes across various challenges, which, while being obstacles also spur you to put your heart and soul into the project. I am glad that we partnered with the Reliance ADA Group for this film, who have not only stood by me during making of this film but have also been instrumental in giving the film widest possible release globally.”
Rajesh Sawhney, President – Reliance BIG Entertainment, added, “We are extremely proud to be associated with Love Story 2050. Not only is it one of the most ambitious films in our 2008 slate but is also a landmark film for the Indian film industry. The team at BIG Pictures has aggressively supported the enthusiasm of Baweja Movies with tremendous branding and marketing initiatives and a wide global release of the film.”
Presented and Co Produced by Adlabs, and Baweja Movies, Love Story 2050 is a romantic and emotional love story spanning two generations. Set against the backdrop of present day Adelaide (Australia) and Mumbai (India) in 2050, Love Story 2050 is India’s first sci fi film as well as one of the most expensive films ever made in the country.
Esha Deol opted out of an Emraan Hashmi movie, because Percept Picture Company wasn’t ready to pay her bigger bucks. According to a source at Percept, the actress walked out of the project she’d given the nod to. “These days, everyone wants to be Akshay Kumar even if he or she can’t gurantee returns,” says the source. Financial disputes Shailendra Singh of PPC confirms the news, “We expected Esha to be enthusiastic about the film. But she insisted on sticking to her perceived commercial fee. So we decided to let her go.”
