Priyanka's one-day trip to Mumbai

Chopra will return for a day for the music release of Love Story 2050, her beau Harman’s debut flick

Harman Baweja’s long-awaited debut film Love Story 2050 will be released on July 4. The shooting is almost complete.

The last two days, wherein Harman’s snazzy introduction was shot, has just been completed. Says the film’s producer, Harry Baweja, “We’ve all worked very hard on this film. Now begins the real struggle. The FX are comparable to anything from Hollywood.”

Setting dates aside
But before the big release, there’s another red-letter day waiting for the big film. It’s the music release of Love Story 2050. The date chosen for the event is May 10.

Though Priyanka is shooting in Miami for Tarun Mansukhani’s Dostana she has already set that date aside and will take time off from the schedule in Miami and will fly back to Mumbai to be there for Harman’s big day. Seldom, if ever, has a co-star gone so far out of her way for any project.

Just for Harman
Earlier this month, Priyanka joined the crew in Miami a day late because she wanted to be in Mumbai when the theatrical trailer of Love Story 2050 was released.

PC has also set aside a major chunk of dates for the film’s promotion in June. The Bawejas have quietly acknowledged her hand in making Harman’s launch acquire grand proportions. An elaborate song sequence in the air with Priyanka flying on a jet singing and dancing across Mumbai’s shimmering skyline has been choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant.

“This,” says an inside source, “was the least the Bawejas could do for Priyanka after all she has done for them. Harman has a couple of super-elaborate songs and dances. They felt the need for Priyanka to also make her presence felt.”

What’s the big deal?
Tell Priyanka that she’s been looked on Harman’s project’s guardian angel and she shrugs, “What’s the big deal? Love Story 2050 is as much my film as Harman’s. I’d have done just as much for any of my films. About returning for the music release, it is being worked out with Karan Johar.”

The schedule in Miami goes on till May 20. But Priyanka hopes to wrap up her work in time for the music release on May 10. Otherwise the music release date will be pushed ahead.
