He
may
have
been
seeing
an
unconventional
launch
for
himself
in
the
form
of
Love
Story
2050
but
a
few
years
back
there
was
a
strong
possibility
that
Harman
may
have
debuted
with
a
film
which
was
a
'mafia'
drama.
"Can
you
believe
that",
exclaims
Harman
who
is
now
only
close
to
100
hours
away
from
his
big
screen
debut,
"There
were
so
many
ideas
that
dad
and
me
were
bouncing
off
for
my
launch.
We
were
looking
at
films
belonging
to
comedy
genre
or
some
kickass
action
but
nothing
seemed
to
be
overtly
exciting."
"The
closest
that
we
reached
was
a
mafia
drama
but
that
also
was
kept
aside.
Guess
how
it
would
have
been
if
my
first
film
was
a
mafia
drama?
Especially
so
when
I
you
see
me
dancing
at
places
separated
by
decades
in
Love
Story
2050",
says
Harman
who
realizes
that
the
world
is
looking
at
how
his
dad
Harry
Baweja
has
established
a
strong
base
for
him
with
the
multi-crore
film.
"Dad
had
this
idea
around
making
a
film
set
in
future
way
back
in
1999-2000.
He
hadn't
forgotten
it
over
the
years
and
spoke
about
it
again
during
one
of
our
brainstorming
sessions.
Once
we
thought
that
this
was
it,
he
pronto
called
in
his
team
of
writers,
bounced
the
idea
to
them
and
they
began
work
along
with
us",
recollects
Harman
who
would
be
the
first
ever
Bollywood
hero
to
see
a
launch
with
a
subject
like
this.
"Let's
not
make
it
sound
as
if
the
film
belongs
to
a
different
planet.
No
pun
intended",
jokes
Harman,
"Love
Story
2050
is
as
mainstream
as
it
gets.
Yes,
we
have
done
something
that
hasn't
been
attempted
before
but
isn't
it
really
cool
to
get
something
new
on?"
Harman
goes
on
to
justify
the
choice
of
the
subject,
"See,
if
I
would
have
arrived
in
a
routine
love
story,
people
out
there
would
have
said
-
'Chalo
naya
ladka
hai,
dekh
aate
hai
kaisa
hai'.
That's
about
it.
In
case
of
Love
Story
2050
we
are
looking
at
a
paradigm
shift.
We
are
talking
about
time
travel,
robots,
flying
cars
etc.
There
is
so
much
out
there
which
makes
the
film
exciting."
Throughout
his
career,
Harry
Baweja
has
been
involved
in
hardcore
action
films
with
Dilwale,
Diljale
and
Qayamat
being
his
biggest
successes.
Though
he
did
attempt
a
different
subject
like
Main
Aisa
Hi
Hoon,
it
didn't
impress
the
audience.
Doesn't
Harman
believe
that
a
subject
like
Love
Story
2050
which
deals
with
time
travel
would
take
his
father
into
an
unknown
territory?
"You
have
to
look
at
his
track
record
over
the
years
and
you
would
see
that
he
has
been
continuously
delivering
successful
films.
He
has
also
been
moving
with
time
and
constantly
evolving
himself.
I
have
never
seen
him
as
excited
as
I
saw
him
during
the
last
4
years
when
we
were
putting
together
Love
Story
2050",
says
Harman
in
admiration
for
his
father.
"As
I
said
earlier,
it
isn't
as
if
this
idea
struck
dad
overnight.
He
has
been
carrying
it
for
close
to
a
decade
and
just
because
the
funds,
technology
and
audience
taste
didn't
warrant
that
he
made
such
kind
of
cinema
in
those
days,
he
continued
making
formulaic
commercial
cinema."
"Today
we
have
all
of
that
in
abundance.
We
can
ask
for
funds
and
we
can
get
it.
We
have
some
great
technology
capability
and
thankfully
audience
too
is
looking
at
newer
films.
Dad
has
given
it
all
to
Love
Story
2050
and
in
a
few
days
from
now,
you
would
see
that
for
yourself
on
screen",
concludes
the
proud
'beta'.
