K Jo and Aditya Chopra On The Same Track

K Jo and Aditya Chopra On The Same Track I have bad news and worse news today. I’m going to start with the bad news. Bollywood smurfs, Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra are planning to make films which do not revolve around either a love triangle or a long shot of a bullet train in Switzerland.

These two candy-floss film-makers will be attempting to branch out with these movies and show the world just how incapable they are of making anything beyond one-dimensional love sagas. Now for the worse news. They have both individually lifted the script for their films from the same Hollywood movie, Arlington Road! And so the two friends are set to make the same film with different actors, each with their own rotten, Full House inspired twist.

The whole situation is shameful, not to mention ominous. The last thing I want to see is a remake of Arlington Road by Thelma and Louise over here. The big question now is whether one will pull out of this venture and make way for the other.
