As for Aryan, his only aim in life is to love Ria. So begins a battle of emotions between these three characters. Will Dr Malhotra be able to convince his daughter that she will ruin her life if she marries this man? And will Ria listen to her father or the one she loves most?  | John Abraham plays Bipasha's love interest in Aetbaar |
It will be interesting to see how different Amitabh Bachchan will look in Aetbaar. He has played a similar role in Mohabbatein in which Aishwarya Rai was his daughter. Bollywood’s most favourite actress, Bipasha Basu failed to lure the UK audiences into cinemas with her previous releases, Footpath and Zameen. It will be the first that she plays Amitabh's daughter and at the same time, share the screen presence with John Abraham. We are all aware that both John and Bipasha make a good pair. They were last seen together in Jism which was a runaway success at the box office.  | Father and daughter - Amitabh and Bipasha |
Aetbaar has been shot in Mumbai whilst overseas locations included Vancouver, Canada. Directed by Vikram Bhatt , the film’s musical score has been composed by Rajesh Roshan of the Koi Mil Gaya fame. The film is now slated for a 23rd January 2004 release. Previewed by Manish Gajjar, BBC Shropshire's Mr Bollywood.
