Come Friday and destinies are decided at the altar of the fickle goddess called success, luck. Call it what you will. Cliched as it may sound, but Friday rules strong over the Bollywood tribe. This Friday should see actor Harman Baweja trying his luck, once again at the box office.
Of course, everybody is only talking about Ashutosh Gowariker and actress Priyanka Chopra’s 12 different avataars in the movie, ’What’s Your Raashee?’. The actor had a disastrous debut with his home production, ’Love Story 2050’, directed by is father Harry Baweja.
But somehow he has managed to not get written off totally by the media and all who matter in the industry. After all, Gowarikar had the option of dropping him from the project but the director was able to withstand the pressure and stick to his gut decision to retain the actor in ’What’s Your Raashee?’ Failure is not something that is altogether new for Gowariker. Before he became the Ashtosh Gowarikar, top notch director, and much before ’Lagaan’ happened, he has faced his days of struggle and rejection. And one guesses that may have prompted him to stick to his initial decision of casting Harman in his next project. The ace director has gone on print to admit that he decided to stick by Harman because he believed in his talent and had liked what he saw of him in his debut movie.
’What’s Your Raashee?’ is also the second movie that Priyanka is doing with Harman, the fate of the first is known to everybody. Subsequently a lot of things have changed between the couple, who reportedly split and are now back to being good friends and colleagues. To cite a cliché once again, yes, this is a crucial Friday for Harman. He has literally been given another chance, this time on a platter to prove his credentials as an actor. Over to the public!
