Will Harman Baweja shine against Hrithik?


After a super dud of a debut like Love Story 2050, Harman Baweja is desperately looking forward to a victorious New Year. But as fate has it, he is once again being pitted against none other than Hrithik Roshan in Zoya Akthar’s Luck by Chance at the box office. Both the films are slated for a January 30 release.

It may be recalled that when Harman made his debut last year he was often compared to Hrithik Roshan and was called a look alike of Hrithik. Harman of course took it in his stride in a confident manner. Harman is keeping his fingers crossed hoping that Victory will emerge victorious at the box office this year. While his contemporaries like Ranbir have already gone ahead. Harman Baweja reportedly has got a big ‘V’ tattooed on his back when he had signed this film.

Interestingly both the films have been directed by debutant directors. Zoya Akhtar directs Luck By Chance while Ajit Pal directs Victory.

While Zoya Akhtar’s Luck By Chance has Hrithik playing a superstar in the film. The film has Farhan Akhtar in the lead who rocked last year with his Rock On performance. The film also stars Konkana Sen Sharma, Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia and Juhi Chawla. Ajit Pal’s Victory has Amrita Rao in the lead opposite Harman along with a host of cricketers from all the teams.

Also, perhaps little does Harman know that the film also stars his old nemesis Aamir Khan (in a special appearance) who last time thumped him down with his production Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na. The film also has Shah Rukh Khan in a two scene appearance.
