Bowled over by Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor’s on-screen chemistry, Subhash Ghai buys distribution rights of Karan Johar’s next, IHLS

Subhash Ghai is reliving his Ram Lakhan days. He is so impressed with Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor that he feels “They’re like Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit, a pair that has terrific chemistry and will sustain.” Fingers crossed.

So smitten was Ghai that he wasted no time in buying the Delhi and Uttar Pradesh distribution rights of Karan Johar’s forthcoming film, I Hate Luv Storys from UTV for Rs 3.5 crore.

The deal between Mukta Arts and UTV was cracked on Tuesday. Confirming the same, Subhash Ghai’s cousin Sanjay, who handles these territories says, “I think I have bought it for a very economical price. We run many cinemas in the North. We should be doing very good business with this purchase. I shall recover my money in the first week itself.”

Sanjay also confirmed the fact that his cousin Subhash has been very impressed with Imran and Sonam’s chemistry. “We were thinking of buying the rights of this film for a month-and-half now.”
