It is a well known fact that, there are some things that an actor and a director cannot endure; one of these things is the delay of their movie.

John Abraham is said to have cried when he was first made to read the script of his movie, Aashayein. But it looks like all his tears were in vain, or say they proved to be a bad omen. Sadly, the movie, which was due to release 2 years earlier, is still waiting and is in darkness.

Director Nagesh Kukunoor had decided to release the movie in 2008, and therefore the music for the film too, was released in the same year.

But let's not regret whatever happened because there's now some good news for the crew after a long break. The release date for the movie has been set for August 27.

The movie stars actors namely, Prateeksha Lonkar, Ashwin Chitale, Farida Jalal, Sonal Sehgal and Girish Karnad.

John in the movie plays a drop dead gorgeous gambler. The angry man dreams of living his life the way he wants, until one day, when he comes to know that he does not have much time left.

The movie mostly has love songs composed by three different composers. Mohit Chauhan, Pritam Chakroborty and Pakistani composer-singer Shiraz Uppal are the three composers who have put in their creativity and music, and have made the music of the movie an album to look out for.
