Harman Baweja, who is debuting with the much talked about Love Story 2050, has been taking the comparisons with Hrithik Roshan on his chin.
At his music launch last week when someone shouted ‘Hey Hrithik’ at him from the crowds, Harman smiled and said, ‘Can’t help the way I look. It’s what my parents gave me.’
But Harman and his father Harry Baweja have decided to avert any more comparisons with the Krrish star and also curb the unnecessary digs about Harman’s glamorous girlfriend Priyanka Chopra.
Since it was felt that Harman even sounded like Hrithik, Harman’s dubbing for Love Story 2050 is being done under strict supervision by a female voice expert who sits with Harman. The film is releasing in July.
‘She listens to every word that Harman dubs. And if anywhere he sounds like anyone else, she immediately corrects him and makes him redo the dialogues. For this reason, Harman’s dubbing in Love Story 2050 has taken a painfully long time. No actor has taken so long to complete his dubbing. A month away from release and Harman is still dubbing!’
Says a source close to the Bawejas, ‘Harman is not the least conscious or worried about all the comparisons with Hrithik. They started when Harry Baweja decided to launch his son in a futuristic film.
‘Everyone jumped to the conclusion that it was another Krrish. Then to make the comparisons even stronger there was the Kareena Kapoor factor. She had opted out of Hrithik Roshan’s Kaho Na…Pyar Hai after a few days of shooting. The same happened with Harman’s Love Story 2050.’
More worrisome to Harman is the way Priyanka Chopra’s presence in his life is being seen as a calculated move to gain mileage for the film.
Says the source, ‘Harman has a great deal of self-respect. He’d never want to be known by being associated with anyone else more famous and recognisable than him. In fact Kajol and Ajay Devgan were supposed to launch the music of Love Story 2050. Harman’s father decided against it at the last minute.
‘Harry Baweja in fact rang up his colleague Kumar Mangat and advised him not to allow Kajol and Ajay’s presence to overshadow his daughter at the music launch of Haal-e-Dil. That’s how self-respecting the Bawejas are.’
It hurts Harman to have his name being constantly mentioned with Priyanka.
Says a source, ‘He has now decided to seriously cut down, if not entirely do away with, public appearances with Priyanka. Of course, she will be part of all the Love Story 2050 promotion. But Harman is refusing offers for magazine covers and guest appearances on reality shows with Priyanka.’

The magnum opus, Jodhaa- Akbar, will now be released in April 2008
Video:
Wait, don’t blow the bugles yet. Its date of release has been announced so
often that yet
another postponement isn’t exactly surprising. The Mughal opus which was to be
released on
January 15 has been postponed to April. Not to worry, we’re talking April 2008.
Long wait
Perhaps the wait will make the heart grow fonder for Ashutosh Gowariker’s
Jodhaa-Akbar
featuring Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan in the eponymous roles. The film has
been so
painstakingly shot that its first cut clocked in at five-and-ahalf-hours. Now
all efforts are
being made to reduced the length to a more endurable three hours.
Meanwhile, many of the film’s supporting actors who gave months on end of their
dates for the
shooting schedules are simmering under their breath. More work, less pay Not
only were they
paid precious little money but had to forego other assignments - all in the hope
of getting
exposure on the Mughal-sized screen.
Yet, there is no denying that sometimes there are unavoidable delays. At
present, director
Gowariker is confined to bed because of a severe back ailment. He has been
advised to rest in
bed for two months, or so goes the trade talk. He is not taking phone calls or
responding to
SMSs.
First, the film produced by Gowariker with UTV was scheduled to be released
during the Diwali
season. It was then shifted to January 15 and then again to February 24.

Jodhaa Akbar all songs (Lyrics and Translation)
In lamho ke daaman mein (In the intimacy of these moments)
In lamho ke daaman mein, paakeza se rishtey hain
(In the intimacy of these moments, there are some pure relationships)
Koi kalma mohabbat ka, dohratay farishtay hain
(The angels are reiterating the spiritual song of love)
Khamosh si hain zameen, hairaan sa falak hain
(There is a silence in the land, the sky is amazed)
Ek noor hi noor sa ab aasaman talak hain
(There is a radiance right upto the skies)
Nagme hi nagme hain jaagti soti fizaon mein
(There is melody in the active and asleep surroundings)
Husn hain saari adaaon mein
(There is beauty in all your grace)
Ishq hain jaisi hawaon mein
(There is love in the air)
Kaisa yeh Ishq hain, kaisa yeh khwab hain
(What kind of love is this? What kind of dream is this?)
Kaise jazbaat ka umda sailaab hai
(What kind of a flood of emotions have gushed in?)
Din badley, raatein badli, baatein badli, jeene ke andaaz hi badle hain
(The days have changed, nights have changed, conversations changed, the mode of life has changed)
In lamho ke daman mein, pakeeza se rishtay hain
(In the intimacy of these moments, there are some pure relationships)
Koi kalma mohabbat ka, dohratay farishtay hain
(The angels are reiterating the spiritual songof love)
Jodha’s lines:
Hmmm, samay ne yeh kya kiya, ho…badal di hain kaya
(What has time done to us, it has changed my flesh/skin)
Tumhe maine pa liya, mujhe tumne paaya
(I have found you, you have found me)
Miley dekho aise hain hum, ke do sur ho jaise madham, koi zyaada na koi kum kisi raag mein
(We have met like as if two harmonies meet of a rythmn, neither high nor low)
Ke prem aag mein, jalte dono ki hai tan bhi hain man bhi, man bhi hain tan bhi
(As if in the flames of passion, both burn our body and soul, soul and body)
Akbar’s lines:
Mere khwabon ke is gulistaan mein, tumse hi to bahar chayee hain
(In the garden of my dreams/reverie, you have brought the beautiful springtime)
Phoolon mein rang mere they lekin, in mein khushboo tumhi se aayi hain
(The flowers have my colours, but the fragrance is from you)
Kyu hain yeh aarzoo, kyu hai yeh justju
(Why do these desires exist, why does this search lives on?)
Kyu dil bechain hain, kyu dil betaab hain
(Why is the heart so impatient, why is it so impulsive?)
Din badley, raatein badli, baatein badli, jeene ke andaaz hi badle hain
((The days have changed, nights have changed, conversations changed, the mode of life has changed)
In lamho ke daaman mein, paakeza se rishtey hain
(In the intimacy/companionship of these moments, there are some pure relationships)
Koi kalma mohabbat ka, dohratay farishtay hain…..
(The angels are reiterating the spiritual songof love)
p.s. Kalma means Beginning of a verse in Quran, implying a spiritual/holy song
Man Mohana (O lord Krishna)
Man mohana, man mohana
(O lord Krishna)
Kanha suno na, tum bin paaon kaise chain
(Oh lord Krishna listen, how do I find peace without you?)
Tarsoo tumhi ko din rain
(I crave for you day and night)
Chodke apne kashi mathura
(Leave your Kashi mathura behind)
Aake baso more nain
(And come and dwell in my eyes)
Tum bin paaon kaise chain
(How do I find peace without you?)
Tarsoo tumhi ko din rain
(I crave for you day and night)
Verse 1
Ik pal ujiyaara aaye, ik pal andhiyara chaye
(One instant its is brightness, the other moment its all darkness)
Man kyu na ghabraye, kaise na ghabraye
(Why wont the heart fear, how wouldn’t it be anxious)
Man jo koi doraha apni raho mein paaye
(When the mind is on the crossroads)
Koun disha jaaye? Tum bin koun samjhaye
(Which path to follow? Who other than you would explain?)
Raas rachaiyya vrindavan ke gokul ke vaasi
(The dancer, the one who resides in the vrindavan(Forest) of gokul)
Radha tumhri daasi
(Radha is your servant)
Darshan ko hai pyaasi
(Shes craving to see you)
Verse 2
Shyam salone nandlala Krishna banva ri
(The dark skinned, lovely , soulful Krishna)
Tumhri chab hai nyaari
(Your form is gorgeous)
Main to hoon tan man haari
(I have surrenderd my body and soul)
Man mohana man mohana
(O lord krishna. O lord Krishna)
Kanha suno na tum bin paaon kaise chain
(Oh lord listen, how do I find peace without you?)
Tarsoo tumhi ko din rain
(I crave for you day and night)
Verse 3
Jeevan ik nadiyaa hain, lehro lehro behti jaaye
(Life is a river, its waves flow on and on)
Is mein man ki naiyya doobey kabhi utar jaaye
(The heart’s ship sometimes gets drowned sometimes it is saved)
Tum na khevaiyya ho to koi tat kaise paaye
(If you are not the guide, then how will one reach their destination)
Majhdhaar behlaaye, toh tumri sharan aaye
(If the waves get turbulent, then we come in your refuge)
Main hoon tumhari, hain tumhara mera yeh jeevan
(Im yours, and my life is yours)
Tumko hi dekhoon main, dekhoon koi darpan
(I see only you in every reflection)
Bansi ban jaaongi, in hoton ki ho jaaongi
(I’ll become a flute and belong to these lips of yours)
In sapno ke chalkar hain mera man aangan
(In these dreams, I find the home of my heart)
