We Are Family – Theatrical Trailer

Since Kajol is pregnant and will be unable to travel, only Kareena will promote We Are Family
While the film will have both women sharing responsibilities, Karan Johar's next We Are Family, will have only Kareena Kapoor and not Kajol touring the country for promotions. That's because Kajol is expecting her second baby and will be in no position to travel so much at that time.
The film, which is thew Hindi remake of the Susan Sarandon starrer Stepmom, will release on Eid, this September. Unfortunately, for Karan Johar and Dharma Productions, Kajol will be unavailable around that time for a major part of the promotions.
Our source said, "UTV and Dharma Productions are planning different marketing strategies for the promotions because Kajol won't be available. Kareena will have to go for all the city tours that the team plans. It is unfair to ask Kajol to travel and promote the film as she is expecting. Kareena is helping in her absence by giving out bulk dates. Kareena has told Karan that she will be available for all the promotional activities. The film is very close to her heart."
When contacted, Siddarth Malhotra, the director of the film said, "Yes the film is releasing on Eid.It is everybody’s film and all the actors would be present whenever they are available. Expecting Kajol to travel everywhere is asking a bit too much."

Story

This is the true story of Narsimha (Suniel Shetty), a farm laborer, who desperately needed money to fund the education of his children. He finds himself in the midst of Naxalites where his mission becomes a mere subset of a greater cause that the militants pursue.

''Red Alert - The War Within is a true story of an Andhra farm labourer who gets caught in a group of Naxalites and how he evolves out of the entire experience forms the crux of the story. Today our newspaper headlines are filled with stories of Maoists and the Reds and hence the story becomes very relevant and topical. Even though the film maybe about Naxals in India but it's presented in such a way that it can be identified by people across the world. It has a universal appeal. The film has no fabricated dialogues. Every line in the film has either been actually spoken by a Naxal or the law and is derived from a lot of research on interviews done with them. Every scene is true, every character is real and even the names of the character are taken from the actual Naxalites’ names,'' said director Mahadevan.


Notes

The film has been dubbed in three languages, making it total of four versions - Hindi, English, Telugu and Chhattisgarhi. (July 6, 2010)

The film had its World Premiere at the Stuttgart Film Festival in Germany as a closing film on July 19, 2009. It won the Directors Vision Award at the festival. Mahadevan's film Staying Alive was selected for the same festival.

Suniel Shetty won the Best actor award for the film to at the South Asian International Festival ,New York.

Production started on May 19, 2008. The entire team has moved to an outdoor location and the current schedule will run through till June 14, 2008.
