Ninety something world famous artiste surely creates news in style. Well, MF Hussain’s passion for Sooraj Barjatya’s movies continues. Remember he watched ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’ hundreds of times. And Madhuri Dixit became even more famous than what she is, courtesy Hussain’s cutting-edge paintings of the dhak-dhak diva (the ‘didi tera devar diwana’ sari portraits earns special mentioning). It seems the artiste-in-exile has found another muse in Barjatya’s Poonam (Amrita Rao) from his latest ode to engagement-n-marriage ‘Vivah’.

He has seen the movie nine times already. And tonight he is hosting a big bash at Dubai’s Plaza cinema where he has invited 150 relatives, friends and media persons to be a part of his enthusiasm. Incidentally it will be the last show in Plaza and Hussain wants to give it a warm goodbye. He shall find ways to watch ‘Vivah’ many times over. Anyway! In an interview to a prominent newspaper in Mumbai, Hussain stated that he finds huge potential in Amrita Rao, though the hero of the film wouldn’t be too amused at being referred to as Shahid Latif.

With such a fantastic painter being one of his fans, Sooraj Barjatya is having the last laugh. For all those who felt that ‘Vivah’ would sink without a trace are still marveling at the tremendous response the film is receiving in spite of the Box Office road-rolling of ‘Dhoom 2’. Guess good values always make their presence felt. Especially, when they are presented with sure-shot-conviction.
