Aditya stated that he found that observation very funny. The Kalank star also appreciated Bradley’s acting in the film and also the fact that he sang and directed Lady Gaga also.Īditya also mentioned that he loved the film and was a huge fan of Bradley Cooper. In an interview with Bombay Times, Aditya said, “A lot of people messaged me saying how the Hollywood film was inspired by Aashiqui 2 (smiles) and how a lot of scenes were similar. It was amazing how Bradley Cooper acted, sang in it and directed a new actor (Gaga). Meanwhile, Aditya will be seen Abhishek Varman’s Kalank as Dev. The film also stars Varun Dhawan, Sonakshi Sinha, Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit. Kalank is a tale of love between Roop and Zafar and is set in the 1940’s pre-partition time. The trailer showcases the triangle between Alia, Varun and Aditya. Kalank is being produced by Karan Johar and Sajid Nadiadwala and is slated to release on April 17, 2019.In India, a sequel may not mean the same thing it does in Hollywood, apparently, as the title of "Aashiqui 2" would suggest that it's a continuation of the narrative from "Aashiqui" (1990), but it's not instead, this is another remake of a familiar Hollywood scenario, "A Star Is Born" (made in 1937, 19 before being once again remade in 2018), while supposedly being a repetition of the themes of the first "Aashiqui," which seems to merely mean that it's another romantic musical.Īlso, the songs from the film like First Class, Kalank title track, Aira Gaira and Ghar More Pardesiya are also doing well on the charts. I'm sure there've been more than two of those, too. ("Aashiqui 2," itself, by the way, was also remade-in Telugu as "Nee Jathaga Nenundali" (2014).) "Aashiqui 2," however is a combination of two traditions, of Bollywood and Hollywood. Even the Hindi language here is comprised of many borrowings from English. Unfortunately, the filmmakers here stripped "A Star Is Born" of all of its self-reflexive intelligence, as well as the superior innovations in production-leaving merely the plot and reworked scenes. Only the body remains, which is the least alluring part. This body is filled with generic Bollywood escapism into emotionalism, including sappy songs. "A Star Is Born" is at its best when the scenario-originally about Hollywood filmmaking and only later, in 1976, 2018 and this version, about the music industry-reflects the real-life images of the stars that made it.
In the first three iterations, the leading actresses were all attempting a comeback on some level. Judy Garland's tragic image was the most striking case, with the lead male's alcoholism becoming an allegory for her real-life drug problems and difficulties with the Hollywood studio system, the press and her fans. We get none of this in "Aashiqui 2," which, instead, casts two relative unknowns in the leads.
