John to romance Abbas's wife in 1-800-LOVE
Riding high on the super-success of JAANE TU... YA JAANE NA, Abbas Tyrewala is all set to start his next film, titled 1-800-LOVE, which will be produced by Madhu Mantena, one of the producers of GHAJINI.

Abbas' wife Pakhi has penned the script of this romantic-comedy (she was the casting director of JAANE TU... YA JAANE NA). John Abraham has already been signed for the lead role.

Now here's the latest development! Pakhi, who has penned the script, will also play the leading lady opposite John in this film.

"When Pakhi narrated the script to John, all of us felt that no one else would understand and relate to the role better than Pakhi. That's how all of us suggested that Pakhi should act in the film as well.

She needed time to think about it. A few days later, she replied in the affirmative, " Madhu Mantena informs.

Now that's a novel casting indeed, what say? 1-800-LOVE is expected to take off early next year!

John Abraham has got hold of a winner in his hands
John- lead actor and co-Producer of "1-800-Love'
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, October 30,2008]

Although a film can be called as a hit only after its triumph at the box office, when the immensely talented Abbas Tyrewala is the man who is the creator of a project and with a great track record, the fate of a film made by him can be predicted to a great extent.

After the stupendous success of 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' , every one is looking forward to his next film titled as '1-800-Love'.

And John Abraham has not only given his nod to act in the film but after hearing the story got so interested that he wanted to associate himself with the project more intimately by becoming a co-producer.

So now the movie has three producers in Abbas Tyrewala, Madhu. K. and John Abraham.

The story of '1-800-Love' was inspired from the toll-free phone numbers in U.S.A.

The production of the movie will start next year at Boston and will be completed in a single schedule

Ever since his spectacular win at the Oscar's, ace music composer AR Rahman has been shying away from the public glare and had gone into a self-imposed hibernation in Chennai. Rahman's sabbatical has come to an end now, with him getting back to composing music in a big way.

All of last week he was engaged in music sessions with director Abbas Tyrewala for his next film 1-800-Love.

Rahman not only managed to complete the entire score for Blue, which had been pending for quite some time now, but also sneaked out of Chennai to Delhi on Monday afternoon to visit the Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah. He then flew to Mumbai yesterday to record a song for Tyrewala's 1-800-Love. With that taken care of, he headed for a long delayed trip to the US.

1-800-Love producer Madhu Mantena said, "Abbas wanted the music of our film to take off before Rahman took off. So he specially requested him to fly to the US via Mumbai." The song sung by Adnan Sami was recorded in utmost secrecy so that Rahman could be out of Mumbai and the country, even before the city woke up to his presence.
