Fardeen Khan`s career may not have enjoyed an upswing but his star presence is undeniable. In fact, the cocaine controversy seems to have added to his wild charisma. Though Anupam Kher`s Om Jai Jagdish, may have not done much for the actor, the Khan prince is positive about his role in Boney Kapoor`s Khushi.

The film which is a remake of the South hit, similarly titled, is directed by S.J. Surya and co-stars the formidable Kareena Kapoor.Fardeen is confident that the film which is, `a love story with a difference,` will be a trendsetter with its novel theme. The no-villain film has only the egos of the madly-in-love lead players providing dramatic conflict. Known to have a soft-corner for his heroines, Fardeen says working with Kareena was, `a cherishable experience.`

The Khan adds that there`s something else which brings him khushi too. That is, when painter-sister Laila wins appreciation for her brush skills. Dismissing the charge that Laila has generated curiosity merely because she is his sister, the protective brother says, `You must see her collection, when she exhibits it in Mumbai, to believe it.`
