Mujhse Shaadi Karoge
Launch party

The stars were out in force for yet another high-profile film launch in Mumbai recently. Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra led the celebrations for the launch party of their new movie together Mujhse Shaadi Karoge at Filmistan Studios. The director of the project is none other than David Dhawan, who has high hopes the multi-starrer will help resurrect his career. Other guests at the event included Preity Zinta, Sanjay Dutt, Karan Johar, Farah Khan, Ayub Khan and Atul Agnihotri. [Radiosargam]

Taking the cake: Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Akshay Kumar cut the inaugural cake at the launch of Mujhse Shadi Karogi "It's all about love, romance and other natural disasters," said Sajid Khan about producer Sajid Nadiadwala's new film Mujhse Shadi Karogi, at its launch at Filmistan Studios yesterday.
The unusual combination cast of Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra cut what Sajid called the `cake of success' to inaugurate the film. The two-tier cake actually toppled while it was being cut, but with their respective recent hits — Tere Naam and Andaz — Salman, Akshay and Priyanka looked as if they'd already tasted success.

If you are wondering why anyone would cast two action heroes in a romantic film, director David Dhawan is quick to reply: "They look so good together. They were our first choice."

When Nadiadwala first decided to work on the film, he called Salman Khan. The next call was to old school friend Akshay Kumar. "I have cast combinations like Akshay Kumar-Sunil Shetty in Waqt Hamara Hai, Salman-Sunny Deol in Jeet or even Salman in a double role before," he explains.

The mahurat was held on a portion of the set where Salman's introductory shot was to be filmed. Some 30 cameras were laid out for the occasion.

Nadiadwala's trio took centrestage at the mahurat, and he hopes they will at the box office too. And wishing him well on the occasion were Sanjay Dutt, Preity Zinta, Karan Johar, Farah Khan (who's the
choreographer for the film), Atul Agnihotri, Puneet Issar, Ayub Khan and others. [Midday]
