5 Weddings First Look: Rajkumar Rao and Nargis Fakhri-What's With This Combination?
5 weddings marks the first step for Rajkumar Rao in Hollywood!
One look at this one and we could not help but rub our eyes in utter disbelief! Rajkumar Rao and Nargis Fakhri in the same movie! Oh really? Rao who is the poster boy of content-driven, serious cinema is placed right alongside Nargis who is more commercial (and dare we say colourful) on the poster of 5 Weddings. The first visual is out and this film will premier at Cannes on 10 May. In India this movie is slated for August 24 release.
But then again, there's more to this drama than meets the eye. Directed by Namrata Singh Gujral 5 weddings stars Academy Award nominee Candy Clark, Golden Globe nominee Bo Derek and Dutch-American actor Anneliese Van der Pol. Fakhri plays an American journalist who lands in India to write about a Bollywood wedding, that's when Rajkumar Rao as a cop poses hurdles as he feels the lady is a spy.
