Aa Dekhen Zara not copy of Freeze Frame: Neil Nitin

/> Is the forthcoming film "Aa Dekhen Zara" very similar to British movie "Freeze Frame"? This question now being asked in Bollywood gains significance because the Neil Nitin Mukesh-Bipasha Basu starrer was earlier titled "Freeze". But the lead actor maintains the two are very different.

"What nonsense! I will reaffirm that 'Aa Dekhen Zara' is an absolutely original film based on a completely original concept. It's not at all a copy of any film. There is not a single element in the film that has been copied, " Neil told.

"Freeze Frame", a 2004 film starring Lee Evans in a lead role, was about an ultra-paranoid murder suspect who takes to filming himself round-the-clock to provide an alibi just in case he's ever accused of another crime.

Directed by Jehangir Surti, "Aa Dekhen Zara" tells the story of a man who gets a camera that can tell the future.

"Just because the two films have a camera in the middle of it all doesn't classify one as an original and other as a copy. You can't bring two and two together and make it 22. Once you see the film you will realise that 'Aa Dekhen Zara' has nothing to do with 'Freeze Frame', " Neil said.

He also explained: "'Freeze' was always the working title of the film and we always knew that it would change later. The kind of subject that we had in hand, the title 'Freeze' wasn't really going with it."

So is he happy with the title 'Aa Dekhen Zara'?

"Of course, it's just the apt title. The film is about something that may happen tomorrow courtesy the powers that the camera comes with. It's like 'let's go and see what's going to happen next'.

So doesn't the phrase 'Aa Dekhen Zara' convey the same point? The same cannot be said about the word 'Freeze'. You can't excite people to peep into the future with that, " Neil remarked.

The film, which has Neil crooning a number, also stars Rahul Dev in an important role.
