Imtiaz Ali made a movie titled Love Aaj Kal in 2009 starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles. The movie was about two love stories set in two different eras. This year also he helmed a film with the same name and showcased two love stories in two different eras.
Now, according to a report in a tabloid, Aanand L Rai’s Atrangi Re is also set in two different eras. A source told the tabloid, “While Atrangi Re is primarily a love story set in the heartland, laced with humour, the storytelling is in a zone the filmmaker has not attempted before. The screenplay follows a non-linear narrative of two romances from different timelines running in the parallel.”
It is said that Sara Ali Khan will be seen in a double role in the film and will be romancing both the actors, Akshay Kumar and Dhanush. The source said, “It’s a double role of sorts for Sara, the idea is to showcase diverse sides of the actress. Akshay and Dhanush’s characters too have a special trait that separates them from the rest of the cast. Their appearances will be in sync with the way they act and react while a special look is being designed for Akshay.”
Well, after reading what the source has stated, it clearly makes us wonder if Atrangi Re is on lines of Love Aaj Kal.
Aanand L Rai’s last release was Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma, and Katrina Kaif starrer Zero. The film had failed to impress the moviegoers and was a box office disaster.

Man pleads not guilty to murder of BBC presenter's family
A 26-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to charges of murdering the wife and two daughters of BBC sports commentator John Hunt in a crossbow and knife attack.
Kyle Clifford, who also faces charges of rape, appeared via video link at Cambridge Crown Court on Thursday.
Clifford, arrested in July after a manhunt, is charged with three counts of murder, one count each of rape and false imprisonment, and two counts of possessing offensive weapons – a 10-inch knife and a crossbow.
During the hearing, Clifford denied all the charges except for the rape charge, which was added to the indictment at the session.
He is expected to enter a plea for that charge at a later date.
The victims were Carol Hunt, 61, wife of horseracing commentator John Hunt, and their daughters Louise, 25, and Hannah, 28.
An earlier hearing revealed that Louise had been found tied up and that both she and her sister had been shot with a crossbow, while their mother had been stabbed with a knife.
The fatal attack occurred at the family’s home in Bushey, a commuter town near Watford, northwest of London.
