Another Bollywood kid, Harman Baweja, is feeling very nervous and scared on the eve of the release of his debut this Friday, July 4th. He attributes this to all the attention he is getting from his fans even before the release of his first film. The expectations of his performing well are quite high, he adds. Yes, he is talking about ‘Love Story 2050' opposite Priyanka Chopra, who is his love interest in real life too. The actor is otherwise very hopeful of its success at the box office. He has already bagged several offers from some top banners. At present, he is also working in a movie based on cricket. It’s titled ‘Victory’. No, Harman isn’t scared of the release on the same day of Aamir Khan's production house movie "Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na”, star Aamir's nephew Imran Khan, who is making his debut opposite Jenelia De'Souza. He says, “The important thing right now is success of 'Love Story 2050’ and appreciation of my work.”
This is to recall that ‘Love Story 2050’ is Bollywood's first futuristic film and is full of special effects. Besides, it’s significant for Priyanka Chopra also who is, for the first time, playing a double role in this movie. A robot and a teddy bear will also be seen playing a major role in the film. This is Baweja’s home production inasmuch as it’s produced by Harman’s mother and directed by his father Harry Baweja. He isn’t happy over his comparison with Hrithik Roshan because of the similarity of his features and dance style with the latter. He proudly claims that dance is like a hobby for him, and says, “ I learnt Kathak for over a year from Prabhu Deva and also followed his dancing skills.”

Two, both the movies are debuts of the two budding Bollywood kids. Third, both are based on fresh and novel issues. However, they differ in their cost; while the Herman’s is estimated around Rs 500 million that of Imraan is close to Rs 300 million. According to trade analysts, both have good prospects as they come from good banners, and the audience eagerly awaits good movies. Bollywood until recently Bee Queen Karisma Kapoor says that she cannot choose one and miss the other one. So, she will watch both the movies as they happen to be equally good. Herman’s mother and his debut’s producer Pammi Baweja will be happy if the audience appreciates her son’s performance as she doesn’t overestimate its prospects.
