Yeh Hai Jalwa
Salman
Khan and Amisha Patel have been teamed for the first time in Ketan
Manmohan Desai's YEH HAI JALWA, directed by David
Dhawan. Incidentally,
David has always said that he is inspired by the Manmohan Desai formula of
film-making and YEH HAI JALWA is his second film for the banner, the first
being DEEWANA MASTANA.
YEH HAI JALWA will be Salman's second
release in 2002, after the much-hyped TUMKO NA BHOOL PAAYENGE. Co-starring
with Salman and Amisha are Rishi Kapoor, Rati Agnihotri, Anupam Kher,
Kader Khan, Rinke Khanna, Sharad Kapoor, Navin Nischol, Kiran Kumar,
Shahbaaz Khan, Jaspal Bhatti and Master Ajay Nagrath.
Shot at the
eye-filling locations of U.K. and Australia, YEH HAI JALWA stars Sanjay
Dutt in a special appearance. Incidentally, before YEH HAI JALWA went on
the floors, Ketan Desai had started a Sanju – Salman starrer, which was
shelved after its first schedule.
YEH HAI JALWA
tells the story of
a son (Salman Khan) who goes in search for his father. The plot thickens
when the son suddenly discovers that the father (Rishi Kapoor) he thought
was dead for all these years is alive and is in fact one of the richest
men in U.K.
So what happens when the father, happily settled with
his wife and children, is suddenly confronted with a grown up illegitimate
son?
Rishi Kapoor and Rati Agnihotri (together after KUCH KHATTI
KUCH MEETHI) live happily with their family, Kader Khan (Rishi Kapoor's
father), Rinke Khanna (Rishi – Rati's daughter) and Master Ajay Nagrath
(Rishi – Rati's son). Till Salman enters their lives.
Treated
humorously, YEH HAI JALWA is one film David Dhawan is looking forward to
since his last release, KYO KII… MAIN JHUTH NAHIN BOLTA, bombed at the
box-office. Incidentally, David's two films will be released close to each
other, HUM KISISE KUM NAHIN on May 3 YEH HAI JALWA on May 31.
