Aitraaz was a hit on the big screens when it released in 2004. It was a highly experimental role for the lead antagonist Priyanka Chopra but won her all the acclaim.
It is a sensual tale of love and relationships from the past. Priyanka played a cunning woman who falsely accuses Akshay Kumar's character of sexual harrasment.
Later, his wife played by Kareena Kapoor avenges his husband's reputation and fights the case for him. The cult status of the film is owing to the fact that it tells a dark and gritty tale of romance that was never done before.
Directed by Abbas-Mastaan the film still continues to amaze fans. And riding on the ongoing rage of remakes the makers of Aitraaz are ready for Aitraaz 2 directed by Amit Rai.
Potential Oscar Winner from India: Title Changed
Shubhash Ghai recently announced the sequel and praised Priyanka for choosing a role that others put down. She truly proved her talent and uniqueness as an actress with this role, and now we all can witness the global sensation that she has become.
It will be interesting who will be signed for the lead roles in the sequel. Seems like yet another franchise will be slipping out of Akshay's hands after Bhool Bhulaiyaa.
