5 WEDDINGS |
`5 Weddings` is an upcoming Hollywood film directed by Indian-American director Namrata Singh Gujral. The film features Nargis Fakhri, Rajkummar Rao, Anneliese Van der Pol, Bo Derek, Candy Clark, and Suvinder Vicky. An American journalist travels to India to cover Bollywood weddings, only to have a liaison officer assigned to the project, whose sole job is to prevent any journalistic espionage under India`s Censorship Laws. As the coverage of Bollywood weddings unfolds, so does a colorful mosaic of lost loves, transgender tangles and culture clashes along the heartfelt journey of life, symbolized by the universal ups and downs of a wedding celebration. The film was initially set to be filmed in 2008 with Namrata Singh Gujral and Harbhajan Mann in the lead. Due to her ten year journey with cancer, Gujral ended up directing the film with Nargis Fakhri playing the lead role of Shania Dhaliwal and Rajkummar Rao playing the role of Harbhajan Singh. Rajkummar Rao`s character was initially called Rahul but was changed to Harbhajan`s name when Harbhajan Mann was being considered to play the lead. The movie will release in August 2018, after Rajkumar Rao`s much-awaited `Omerta` hits theaters on May 25.
