Farhan Akhtar hopes to have a joint celebration party with Kangana Ranaut

Farhan Akhtar wants to party with Kangana Ranaut. Well that is what the actor says about the clash this week of his film Lucknow Central with the Kangana Ranaut starrer Simran. Farhan, incidentally, is a close friend of both of Kanagna’s rivals, Hrithik Roshan and Karan Johar, and his statement surely comes as a surprise.

When we asked Farhan about the clash, he replied, “A film is basically the audio-visual of a story. The heart of a film is always the story. So, if we have a good film, it will do well. Everyone wants a solo release, but there are only limited weeks in a year when filmmakers can release their movies,” he says.

Having said that, Farhan also is full of hope for not just his film but for his competition as well. “I am sure the team of Hansal Mehta, Kangana and Apurva (Asrani) have done a good job with Simran too. It is not that our screens are getting affected because of them or vice versa. I hope that both films do well and the audience likes both our films and we can actually have a joint celebration party for both films,” he says.

The weekend will surely reveal if any of these filmmakers can actually party alone or even together as Farhan hopes. We wonder what Hrithik and Karan will have to say about that, though.
