Filmmaker
Karan
Johar
is
excited
about
his
next
home
production
Ittefaq
and
he
said
the
movie
will
bring
back
age
of
edge-of-the-seat
entertainers
in
Bollywood
that
hold
the
audience's
attention
till
the
end.
The
makers
recently
unveiled
the
trailer
of
Ittefaq,
which
features
Sidharth
Malhotra,
Sonakshi
Sinha
and
Akshaye
Khanna
in
the
lead.
Sidharth
plays
Vikram
Sethi,
who
is
a
suspect
in
two
murders
his
wife
Catherine
Sethi
and
Shekhar
Sinha.
Sonakshi
plays
Maya
in
the
film,
who
is
also
being
interrogated
for
the
same
killings.
"Sidharth's
character
seems
to
be
the
first
suspect,
there
is
Maya...
Her
character
seems
to
have
layers
as
she
comes
with
a
well-thought
story
that
may
or
may
not
have
happened.
Both
of
them
have
different
stories
to
tell,
which
keeps
the
guess
going.''
"As
both
Vikram
and
Maya
lose
their
spouses,
this
could
be
just
a
coincidence
or
it
could
be
a
well-plotted
plan
by
the
two
of
them
to
get
rid
of
their
partners
and
start
a
new
life," Karan
told
PTI.
The
film
is
an
adaptation
of
1969
thriller
Ittefaq,
starring
Rajesh
Khanna
and
Nanda.
Akshaye
essays
the
role
of
a
cop
named
Dev,
who
is
the
given
the
task
of
finding
out
the
truth
amongst
this
web
of
lies.
"He
is
waiting
to
solve
the
case
but
one
may
wonder
if
this
supercop
has
another
motive
like
is
he
trying
to
save
the
culprit
behind
this
or
(is
he)
responsible
himself?
"Also,
towards
the
end
of
the
trailer
Vikram
and
Maya
are
seen
in
the
room
and
the
doorbell
rings
indicating
that
another
character
might
have
been
a
part
of
that
night," Karan
said.
The
film
is
produced
by
Karan's
Dharma
Productions
along
with
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
Red
Chillies
Entertainment.
The
makers
have
decided
not
to
follow
the
usual
marketing
route
to
promote
the
film
on
various
reality
shows
with
actors
but
they
do
have
a
plan
to
let
the
audience
know
about
the
film
while
keeping
the
mystery
intact.
"The
marketing
strategy
is
also
designed
keeping
this
(story)
in
mind
and
to
maintain
the
element
of
mystery
for
the
audience.
We
are
extremely
thrilled
with
it
and
hope
the
audiences
enjoy
the
way
we
have
reimagined
the
1960's
cult
classic," Venky
Mysore,
CEO,
Red
Chillies
Entertainment,
said.
Directed
by
Abhay
Chopra,
the
thriller
is
set
to
open
in
theatres
on
November
3.
