Year 2007 saw enough newcomers emerging and now 2008 is ready with yet another newcomer Harman Baweja, son of Bollywood Producer/Filmmaker Harry Baweja, who affirms to get launched in grand style with the futuristic LOVE STORY 2050.
Filmmaker Harry Baweja who always went ahead and dared to experiment with his genre of films, most of them being with Ajay Devgan as a lead actor, this time has stepped into the most expensive venture pumping about 40 crores to mark his son Harman's debut.
Most of the debutants in Bollywood has been given a launch with the soft chocolate boy characters, but Harman would be seen in altogether different launch, with a difficult / unusual setting, though again a lover boy, in a sci-fi film of this grand scale. Even Hrithik, Ranbir commenced their careers portraying soft lover boy characters.
When asked the intelligent director, wont it be harsh giving Harman such a difficult project for his launch? On this Harry replied swiftly, "Infact I think all the more this would be his perfect launch because the concept of the film is very strong. I think otherwise, because it's more challenging, more difficult, more hardworking, which would yield results. I think choosing a difficult path is much more challenging and it pays off well."
Initially Kareena was to play the lead role in LOVE STORY 2050 opposite Harman but due to her date problems she quit and lovely Priyanka Chopra (who also happens to be Harman's real life love interest) became part of this esteemed project. When we asked Harry regarding the same is he was satisfied with Priyanka being the part of the film instead of their first choice Kareena, he candidly affirmed saying, "Yes, more than satisfied and happy too. It's good to have a new boy being launched with the top actress."
Come summer and we will see the promos of LOVE STORY 2050 and the release is schedule for the month of July. So get ready for the ultramodern and slick LOVE STORY 2050.

Mumbai, April 18 (IANS) Producer-director Harry Baweja promises his forthcoming 'Love Story 2050', about futuristic Mumbai, will be more spectacular than 'Krrish' as he has hired technicians involved with films like 'Lord Of The Rings'.
'Thirty years ago, Hollywood got us Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone doing 'Terminator' and 'Rocky'. It was all about letting the machismo hang out. Today, the concept of the actioner and the action hero has changed.
'Overt beefy jungle-man tactics are out. Today's audience is the subtle urban multiplex audience,' Baweja told IANS.
After Baweja, Shekhar Kapur will showcase a vision of tomorrow's Mumbai in his film 'Paani'.
'I'm glad I was the one to bell the cat. Everyone seems to have woken up to the powers of special effects. The audience now wants to see more FX films. I feel after my film's release there'll be dozens of such films on the floor. This is the future of Indian cinema.'
Though 'Love Story 2050', which is son Harman's launch pad, moves through two different time zones and two eras, Baweja says he has learnt a lesson from the 'Jodhaa Akbar' experience. He is trying to keep his film short.
'Mine is an epic kind of film. The story needs to move smoothly in time. The time factor is a problem. We tried to get it down to two hours and 30 minutes, but we'll have to keep it at two hours and 50 minutes.'
'We divided the FX in 'Love Story 2050' over five international studios. Technicians involved with films like 'Lord Of The Rings' are part of our film.'
There's apparently been infinite delay in the release of the futuristic spectacle and Baweja says it is because of the special effect, which takes a lot of time.
'We started shooting on Sep 3, 2006, and finished in March 2007. Any special effects film is bound to take that long... not to compare myself with anyone else. But my film has 10 times more FX than 'Krrish'.'
'We've something called animatronics in our film. That took inordinately long. It required a six-month waiting period. One year before that we applied for copyrights for designs.'
Speaking of his son, Harry says: 'Harman is being targeted at the youth. He's young, energetic and part of the Gen X, so he's being given a launch where the audience gets to feel the excitement of a spectacle. This time my responsibilities are tremendous.'
Baweja tries to play down his excitement about his son's debut.
'You mean now I don't have to sign outside stars and I just have to run to my son? I was very happy making films with Ajay Devgan. But it's definitely gratifying to have a leading man at home whose career I can mould. Just like Rakesh and Hrithik Roshan.
'Like Hrithik, Harman understands cinema and the camera. That really helps. He's a fast learner and growing by the day. He has been learning very fast. Even if I weren't his father, I'd rate him very highly.'
He says that it's too early to say how many prints will be released.
'But after the encouraging response to the theatrical trailer, we feel the print order will be far more than we had anticipated. All I can tell you is nothing like this has been attempted before.'
London, April 18 (ANI): Ever wondered how will you react to your child's incessant queries about your latest boob job or tummy tuck? Well, a leading US plastic surgeon has come to the rescue of all the mums, by releasing a new book, which aims to explain kids why their mom is going under the knife.
Dr. Michael Salzhauer is set to release his controversial book My Beautiful Mommy, the first book to describe cosmetic surgery to children, this Mother's Day.
Dr. Salzhauer revealed that he had the idea after seeing women bring their children with them to consultations.
"Parents tend to go into this denial thing. They just try to ignore the kids' questions completely. But kids fill in the blanks in their imagination. With the tummy tucks, mums can't lift anything. They're in bed. The kids have questions," The Sun quoted him, as saying.
The book, aimed at kids under seven, features a superhero surgeon called Dr. Michael and a girl whose mother gets a tummy tuck, nose job and breast implants.
Before she goes for the chop, the mum tells her daughter: "As I got older, my body stretched and I couldn't fit into my clothes anymore. Dr Michael is going to help fix that and make me feel better."
Her nose surgery, she explains, will make her look "not just different, my dear -- prettier!"
After the operation, mum emerges "even more beautiful" than before. (ANI)

The sun goes down on Josh Hartnett and Ben Foster in an anemic vampire flick.
Steve Niles' "30 Days of Night" comic-book series, which got underway in 2002, worked a clever new twist on the vampire genre. In the opening issues, a group of vampires discovered the existence of Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost town in the United States. Since the sun deserted this remote habitation for one whole month every year (in the comic, anyway), the famously light-loathing vampires decided to travel to Barrow and spend those 30 sunless days feasting on the locals

West Nile virus' spread through nerve cells linked to serious complication
Oct. 17, 2007 -- Scientists believe they have found an explanation for a puzzling and serious complication of West Nile virus infection. Researchers showed that the virus can enter a nerve cell, replicate and move on to infect other nearby nerve cells. Viruses traveling this infectious pathway can break into the central nervous system, triggering a condition known as acute flaccid paralysis that leaves one or more limbs limp and unresponsive.
