Jaanemann

Jaanemann is a love triangle between a dude, a geek and a beauty. Salman Khan plays the dude. Akshay Kumar plays the geek. And Preity Zinta, the beauty.

Shirish Kunder, husband of Farah Khan, makes his directorial debut with this Sajid Nadiadwala produced film, made roughly on the budget of Rs 35 crore.

The film is a musical love story, full of many mushy moments, good music, comedy and wholesome entertainment.

Salman Khan plays Suhaan Kapoor, a handsome dude, a long-haired rocker for whom life means fun and rock n’ roll. Suhaan is full of many dreams and aspirations. But he is not rooted in reality. Akshay Kumar plays Agastya Rao, a shy, studious, bespectacled geek with curly hair, toothy smile, frilled shirt and a desperate look all over his face. His confidence slips when he interacts with girls. Yet he has an unshakeable belief in the power of love. Preity Zinta plays Piya, a feisty, ebullient girl who has beauty, brains and wealth. She is strong and outspoken and yet emotionally vulnerable. Both Suhaan and Agastya love Piya. But neither of them can muster courage to voice their feelings.
College gets over and the three go their own paths.

Ten years pass.

Suhaan has achieved his dreams. But there is one big void in his life – love.

Agastya has used his intellect to make his own place in the world and outer space (it is believed he plays an astronaut). But his inner space is still vacant of love.

Piya too has grown mature and lives alone. There is no man in her life.

Then, in a sudden twist of fate, all three meet one day. As they rekindle their friendships, love sprouts once again. But the big question is: Whom does Piya love?

The film also has Anupam Kher playing a dwarf. His name in the movie is Bonny Singh. Jaanemann has music by Anu Malik and lyrics by Gulzar. The film will release on October 20, a day before Diwali.
