Directed by Maneesh Sharma
Rating: ****(4 Stars)
Welcome home, Shah Rukh. What a triumphant return to form for an actor whose career has been lately beleaguered by sub-standard scripts and mediocre directors. This time Shah Rukh is in the mood to kill….And we don’t mean that just as a metaphor. As this far-from-frothy take on the very complex star-fan relationships develops into a ominous cat-and-mouse chase, Shah Rukh grips both the characters—yes, for those who came in late he plays both the star and the fan—in a firm grasp that makes us …simply gasp.
Shah Rukh is in full command of both the characters. He gives both Aryan and Gaurav ample room to grow, grow apart and then clash in ways that shows what skilful scripting can do to a superstar’s yearning to excel.

She is one of the best actresses in Hindi cinema, and you have seen her in some brilliant films, like Dil Se (her debut), Koi Mil Gaya, Lakshya, Kal Ho Na Ho, Veer Zaara (a personal favorite), and so many more. Of course, we are talking about the great Preity Zinta. The lovely actress has been missing from the silver screen for several years because she took a cricket sabbatical, but now fans can rejoice because she is back with Ishkq in Paris. Preity not only stars in the film, she also produced the rom-com, which is directed by Prem Soni. I got the incredible opportunity to chat with the actress, and even though it was almost midnight and she was at the airport getting ready for an all-night flight, Preity was amazing to talk to. The whole time I was talking with her, while I was doing the transcript...

Film: "Ishkq In Paris"; Cast: Preity Zinta, Rhehan Malliek, and Isabelle Adjani; Director: Prem Raj; Rating: ****
Love, as the sages say, is a many-splendoured thing. You can look at it as an occasion for stress and heartbreak (which is why we fall, never rise, in love). Or love can be a celebration of life.
Director Prem Raj's debut film "Main Aur Mrs Khanna" took a quaint capricious look at love during times of adultery. On this occasion ('Ishkq In Paris') he takes flight in a Parisian paradise where two strangers, both single attractive and commit-phobic, spend the night together.
No, not doing what you think in your dirty.

Priety Zinta is counting days to the release of her first production Ishkq in Paris, and says that the making of this film definitely was a challenge for her. The film’s release got delayed due to the ill health of Prem Raj Soni, who is the director of the film.
Preity excitedly said, “Making Ishkq in Paris was a hard task, since I was doing it from the scratch. The script of the film is an original script that Prem and I wrote in 8 months. It is no adaptation, but purely original. This has been a wonderful experience for me.”
Talking about her multitasking in making the film, Preity said,” I had a lot of work to do. Not only was I writing the script, I was also the producer and the lead actress. So I always had my hands full.”

Preity Zinta’s much awaited Ishkq in Paris, which was to release in 2012, is now finally releasing on 24th May. The delay in the release was due to her director Prem Raj’s ill health.
“There was no other reason to delay the release. Prem was very sick and he had a surgery. He is not just a director for me but a very close friend too. I would not release the film without him. You cannot always take decisions commercially, they have to be human decisions too,” she stated.
Although the delay did affect her financially, Preity said she could afford it. Also, there had been rumours about the film not having buyers. Clearing the air about these reports, Preity said,” I never pay heed to such rumours. The only way I can prove myself is by doing good work and I focus on that. I will be producing again and do better work.

The bubbly girl is back! Preity Zinta, who is now busy with the release of Ishkq in Paris, exclaims that working for her debut production venture has been her toughest film so far!
The actress, who had made her debut in 1998 with Dil Se, says that until now Lakshya was the most difficult film she had done but now Ishkq in Paris wins that tag. Preity had played the role of a journalist covering the kargil war in the 2004 film Lakshya, directed by Farhan Akhtar.
Preity spoke about the difficulties faced while shooting for Lakshya as she had to go 18,000 feet above sea level which made her go blue in the face. “For Ishkq in Paris when we began to shoot, it started snowing in Paris. These challenges made me realize how nothing can ever be achieved without working hard for it,” she added.

There is significant interest surrounding the forthcoming release Ishkq in Paris. This is because it is considered by many to be Preity Zinta’s major comeback after a long absence from the screen. Well there is now another reason for fans to get excited as superstar Salman Khan will be making a cameo appearance for a song in the film! The audience will soon be seeing him grooving ‘desi style’ to the song Kudiye di Kurti which is composed by Sajid-Wajid. The composers have recently given us the highly addictive song ‘Mashallah’ from Ek Tha Tiger (2012).
According to reports, Salman instantly promised Preity (who is also the producer of the film) that he would make the appearance when she came to him with the concept over a year ago. There was some scepticism surrounding his ability to make it for the shooting of the song, as Salman was incredibly busy...
