Zafar stars opposite Yami Gautam in this upcoming Bollywood rom-com.
Seems like Ali Zafar has made quite a place for himself in Bollywood by starring in rom-coms. The Pakistani singer-turned-actor, who was last seen in David Dhawan’s Chashme Baddoor, will now be seen in yet another light-hearted romantic movie opposite actor Yami Gautam.
The movie is about a Muslim boy Aman who falls in love with a Hindu girl (Asha) who takes him home to meet her parents, which eventually leads to comedic mishaps and confusion. Considering the names of the two protagonists, the movie was aptly titled Aman Ki Asha. However, it seems that the film-makers were not quite happy with it as they have now changed it to Total Siyappa.
“We had earlier called the film Aman Ki Asha as the boy’s name is Aman and girl’s name is Asha. But the film is more than that. So, we have now changed it to a Punjabi title, Total Siyappa,” said a source, according to post.jagran.com. Nevertheless, Zafar is incredibly excited. “This is a story that people from both sides of the border will be able to relate to. The trailer is coming out soon and I cannot wait to see how audience from the sister states react to it. The venture is the first of its kind, making it an exhilarating project to work on,” he said, according to a presser. The film is scheduled to release some time next year.

if this plot for film is OK to release in Pakistan than what happen with ranjhana......i think Pakistan people again have to one more pirated movie......hope one day the border will resolve and we all became brother again.....officially...
Hope it is a big success.Ali Zafar is a multitalented artist who has succeeded to get himself a niche in Bollywood. We should be sooooo proud of him. He is our super star!

@Qadir
Hats off! Respect your guts.
What's with all the toxicity? It's just a press release about an upcoming movie. Whether India or Hollywood, if an artist from Pakistan is spreading his wings and able to work overseas, what's the problem with it? Why must anything to do with India be politicized and WHY must we sound like jealous zanaani's about someone's success?
It surely is going to be a Hit! Looking forward to king of pop rocking up cinema! All the very best to Ali zafar :) Shine (Y) Goodluck from All Azians :)
@Qadir: I am disgusted by your thinking.
When singers become propaganda tool like Selena Gomez promotion of TSA groping and Ali Zafar promoting water blocker India, their career go downhill very fast.
