Baweja smitten with love story starring his son Ace director Harry Baweja is in love with the notion of love.

Better known for his action films like "Qayamat", Baweja is essaying a film on love that the director claims is going to be unlike anything done before in Bollywood.

That's a tall claim to make as Bollywood is saturated with love stories of all genres. But this glut hasn't deterred Baweja, who is ecstatic about "Love Story 2005-2050" starring his son Harman and Kareena Kapoor. The film, Baweja hopes, will be released by the end of the year.

"Harman learnt acting at Le Strasberg School in New York. Harman is a splendid dancer and his body language is just right. He has trained in Hollywood. But I will acclimatize him to Bollywood. It all looks set for him," tells Baweja in a telephone interview.

The film, which is subtitled 'A normal man in an abnormal world', explores nuances of relationship and values in a rapidly mutating society.

"It's about how we become abnormal in the insane pursuit of success and money. It's about inversion of values. In a very deeper sense, it's the abnormal man who is sane and we who pretend to be sane are actually insane," says Baweja, whose oeuvre includes films like 'Qayamat', 'Mujhe Meri Biwi Se Bachchao', 'Girlfriend' and 'Karz'.

Baweja is confident that the film will strike a chord with the audience who are looking for something different. "Both Harman and Kareena have put in very emotionally charged performances," he adds.

Baweja is enthusiastic about a new cinema imbued with sense and sensibility as opposed to the cliched offerings being churned out by Bollywood on a mass scale.

"The audience is hungry for a new kind of cinema that resonates with their inner needs. They are tired and fatigued of the same old ideas being rehashed endlessly," says the writer-director.

Baweja has a larger cultural critique of Bollywood to offer. "We Indians are an emotional and melodramatic people. That's how we get melodramatic films and an overkill of melodramatic acting.

"Essentially, there are five emotions and five stories to tell in Bollywood. But it all depends on how you do it. What the audience is looking for is better packaging, better technique, better visuals and better production quality," says Baweja, who also took a stab at doing experimental plays of Beckett and Genet in his theatre days.

For all those bitten by the Hoollywood bug who wants to make it in Bollywood, Baweja has a piece of advice.

"Bollywood isn't Hollywood when it comes to acting. You can't do totally arty and experimental acting here. But mercifully we are now getting more realistic performances from actors."

But there is plenty to do for those wishing to push the envelope.

"'Qayamat' is not your normal action film. I tried to make it as different as possible because people have seen so much great action in Hollywood films that they were clearly looking for something different," he adds.

Baweja, who loves exploring audacious themes in his films like lesbian love, is excited about doing films that creatively challenge him.

"I will love to do anything that rings a bell in your head... Hey, this is something that has not been done before."
