The visual treat in Khoya Khoya Chand : Bollywood News

The stars

The film will see a combination of talent and beauty with Shiney Ahuja and Soha Ali Khan playing the lead as Nikhat and Zaffar respectively.

Soha

“Soha plays a young girl. You will see her in the beginning of the film as a young eighteen year old girl, with her mother trying to get her into the movies. She catches the fancy of a big superstar of that time who sort of gives her a break in films. She also gets involved with him and then she is in his control. Then she bumps into this writer who is arrogant but is hugely talented. She encounters this kind of a man for the first time and that kind of opens her up. Then it’s about their complicated journey in life.

Shiney

Shiney plays this young writer who becomes a director. He teaches Soha that you don’t have to be grateful. You are where you are because you are talented and serve a function and are useful in the films that you do. Shiney’s character doesn’t want to be here particularly, he doesn’t follow the law of the film industry. He is not a chamcha as they say. He is working purely by his talent. And in the accident called life he makes it big because he is very useful to people and corrects their films and finally becomes a writer much in demand.

Sonia Jehan

The film also will see Sonia Jehan (who made her debut with Akbar Khan’s Taj Mahal) playing a superstar of the 60s. Sonia is a half Pakistani, half French actress. Sudhir seems to be quite impressed by her performance. “Sonia is the great Noor Jehan’s granddaughter. She has a connection with that time because of her grandmother. She even understands that time and the movies. She plays a superstar in the film. It’s a very brave and slightly controversial part. She is stunning and looks likes a superstar of that time. She is amazingly talented and is very good in the film. So are Rajat Kapoor, Sushmita Mukherji, Saurabh Shukla and Vinay Pathak who is normally associated with comedy roles. There is a whole bunch of very good actors.”
