''My film is about Indian home 2001'', says veteran film maker Subhash Ghai, whose latest magnum opus Yaadein is all set to hit the screen on July 27.
Yaadein will strike a chord among the families as it is a story about the smiles and tears they experience, he said. The film's music is doing exceptionally well breaking all earlier music records with over 1.5 million copies sold within 15 days of the release.
''This all-time sale record held by Yaadein undoubtedly imprints these Yaadein as a fond memory in the hearts of millions,'' said Ramesh Taurani of Tips, which has purchased the music rights of the film for a whopping Rs 60 million.
They were speaking at an exclusive ''meet the stars'' gathering at Movie Star Complex in Goregaon (Mumbai) on Friday evening. The lucky invitees to the special 'Tips Yaadein lifetime offer' had got a never-before opportunity to meet the mega star cast of the film. The offer comprised an entry pass for the programme with each CD purchased from select outlets in Mumbai.
''Fame is a liability as expectations are extraordinarily high. I have tried my best to make a good film. I hope you all like it,'' Ghai told the audience.
Produced under the Mukta Arts banner, Yaadein stars Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor as the romantic pair with Jackie Shroff in a stellar role. The film also stars eighties heroine Rati Agnihotri and Amrish Puri among others.
Music composer Anu Malik, Hrithik and Kareena were present along with Ghai for the function. Both the young stars came in for praise from the film maker, who said that they both were extremely good students and Yaadein will see their transformation into mature actors. Both Hrithik and Kareena said that the film was very close to their heart and they learnt a lot from Subhash Ghai.
''The film means a lot to me,'' said Hrithik. While Kareena said that it had been her childhood dream to work with Subhash Ghai.
Yaadein will be Hrithik's first film in 2001, after a dream debut in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai in January 2000 and films like Fiza and Mission Kashmir under his belt. While Kareena's earlier film Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai has been declared the surprise hit of 2001.
The young actress is all excited about her next release.
