Box-office
collections
notwithstanding,
Anjaana
Anjaani
is
certainly
on
a
roll.
The
two
suicidal
protagonists
in
the
rom-com
who
meet
when
they
are
on
the
verge
of
suicide
are
about
to
take
a
plunge
in
another
direction.
The
protagonists
played
by
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Priyanka
Chopra
will
now
feature
in
series
of
comic-books
describing
the
adventures
of
their
respective
characters
Akash
and
Kiara.
Producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala
has
spoken
to
a
leading
publishing
house
which
enthusiastically
agreed
to
the
idea.
The
first
graphics
have
already
been
prepared
and
if
all
goes
well,
the
inaugural
comic
based
on
Ranbir
and
Priyanka's
characters
in
Anjaana
Anjaani
will
hit
the
stands
this
Diwali.
That's
right...
Kiara
(Priyanka
Chopra)
and
Akash
(Ranbir
Kapoor),
the
losers
in
love
and
business,
respectively,
are
now
being
relocated
from
the
screen
into
print
and
on
the
internet
as
comic-book
characters.
Says
producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala,
"A
lot
of
us
involved
with
this
film
felt
the
Priyanka
and
Ranbir's
characters
will
translate
well
into
comic-books.
We
are
still
in
negotiation.
But
I
can't
really
talk
about
the
project
until
all
the
deals
are
done."
However,
one
of
the
actors
from
the
film
spilled
the
beans
adding
that
if
the
comic-books
succeed,
Nadiadwala
also
has
plans
of
doing
a
cartoon
version
of
the
Anjaana
Anjaani
characters
for
satellite
television
and
the
internet
entitled
The
Mad
Mad
Adventures
Of
Kiara
&
Akash.
