It
is
a
well
known
fact
that
in
Ashutosh
Gowarikar"s
career
as
a
director,
two
of
the
six
movies
that
he
has
directed,
were
time
periods.
And
now,
he
is
about
to
come
up
with
one
more
movie
titled
Khelein
Hum
Jee
Jaan
Se,
which
is
also
based
on
history.
It
is
highly
noticeable
that
these
time
period
movies
are
the
ones
that
got
him
recognition
and
fame
in
the
film
industry.
His
first
two
movies
Pehla
Nasha
and
Baazi
didn"t
do
well
at
the
box
office.
His
next
film
Lagaan,
which
was
based
on
the
period
of
1890,
earned
him
fame.
Also,
Jodhaa
Akbar,
based
on
the
times
of
Mughal
Emperors,
managed
to
attain
both
the
audiences" approval
as
well
as
the
critical
acclaim.
Swades
was
the
only
movie
based
on
the
modern
times
that
worked
well
at
the
box
office.
In
fact,
his
last
movie
What"s
Your
Raashee?
flopped
at
the
box
office.
Could
Ashutosh"s
obvious
success
with
the
movies
of
historical
eras
be
the
reason
why
his
next
venture
Khelein
Hum
Jee
Jaan
Se,
is
again
a
movie
based
on
the
1930"s?
This
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
Deepika
Padukone
starrer
film
is
said
to
be
a
periodic
thriller
based
on
the
1930
Chittagong
Uprising.
Ashutosh
has
revealed
that
the
story
for
this
film
has
been
inspired
by
Manini
Chatterjee"s
novel
'Do
and
Die".
Well
Ashutosh,
as
long
as
we
get
to
see
some
real
great
film,
you
won"t
find
us
complaining!
