As
things
stand
today,
neither
Love
Story
2050
nor
Jaane
Tu...
Ya
Jaane
Na
are
buzzing
from
their
stand
and
sticking
to
the
release
date
of
4th
July.
While
the
two
debutant
actors
Harman
Baweja
and
Imraan
Khan
are
pretty
much
getting
ready
for
the
BIG
clash,
for
the
former
it
is
not
the
first
time
that
he
is
being
pitted
against
competition.
If
one
jogs
down
the
memory
lane,
there
could
well
have
been
a
similar
situation
for
the
Baweja
Junior
late
2007
when
his
Love
Story
2050
was
originally
being
planned
for
a
Diwali
release.
At
that
time,
instead
of
Harman
v/s
Imran
clash,
it
was
Ranbir
v/s
Harman
clash
which
was
being
looked
forward
to,
courtesy
the
arrival
of
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
Saawariya.
Frankly,
was
it
the
immense
buzz
surrounding
Ranbir
Kapoor
that
had
lead
to
Love
Story
2050
being
moved
into
2008?
Was
delay
in
work
on
SFX/CGI
being
just
an
excuse
after
all?
"How
funny",
says
Harman
after
a
hearty
laugh,
"After
investing
close
to
3
years
on
a
film,
working
with
hundreds
of
crew
members,
globe
trotting
to
get
the
best
of
the
technical
team
in
place
to
get
that
perfect
look
for
the
film,
living
the
film
every
minute,
spending
crores
and
crores
and
then
patiently
waiting
for
it
to
arrive
on
the
big
screen,
you
don't
start
looking
for
excuses
to
delay
your
product.
Seriously,
you
don't
move
a
50
crore
movie
fearing
competition."
Relaxing
a
little,
Harman
quips,
"Thankfully,
industry
is
a
small
place
and
hence
these
rumors
didn't
hamper
our
dream
project.
After
all
those
silly
murmurs
of
the
film
being
delayed
due
to
other
newcomers
arriving
in
Bollywood,
insiders
started
seeing
it
for
themselves
that
we
were
actually
working
on
the
task
rather
than
relaxing,
twiddling
out
thumbs
and
letting
go
off
all
the
big
and
the
small
launch
pads
so
that
a
certain
Harman
Baweja
can
finally
make
a
grand
entry!"
Harman
continues
to
joke,
"I
think
we
shouldn't
have
spoken
about
the
release
timing
at
all
last
year.
Perhaps
for
the
next
film
that
we
start
making
for
which
we
may
have
2009
as
the
target,
we
would
instead
announce
the
release
year
as
2011.
The
industry
too
would
start
feeling
that
we
are
working
on
something
big
and
later
when
we
would
in
fact
arrive
in
2009,
we
will
claim
that
we
were
able
to
work
at
a
faster
pace
and
are
hence
ahead
of
times!"
