Two films with complex romantic stories and a comedy movie about an Indian cook’s adventures in London are on the offering from Bollywood this Friday.
Ready to hit the theatres on September 2 is Aditya Datt’s Aashiq Banaya Aapne and Hriday Shetty’s Pyaar Mein Twist . While the former is a love triangle story starring newcomer Tanushree Dutta with Emraan Hashmi and Sonu Sood , the latter marks the coming back of Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia jodi after their ‘Bobby’ and ‘Saagar’ days.
Also releasing alongside the two would be the comedy movie Ramji Londonwaley that has south Indian star Madhavan playing an expert cook from a village in Bihar, who is forced to go to London to work as a chef in order to get the dowry money required for his sister’s marriage.
