Himesh to take on SRK this Diwali

With his forthcoming release Damadamm to release alongside RA.One, the singer-turned actor believes this one will get him back in the Bollywood race

Himesh Reshammiya after the much-publicised remake Karzzz, vanished from the Bollywood calendar completely. The reason for this could well be attributed to a fight over his film Kajraare. However, the singer-turned-actor, undaunted, came back with his production house HR Musik. And this Diwali, he is all set to re-launch himself with Damadamm. A comedy caper that he believes will "get me back into the race."

The problem, here, lies in the release date Diwali. That's exactly the day when SRK's ambitious project RA.One is scheduled to hit the screen. However, Himesh seems to be least bothered about the very fact. "There can be no comparison," says Himesh, adding, "Shah Rukh Khan is the Baadshah of Bollywood and RA.One will surely be the best film this year. Damadamm is a sweet comedy and there is always room for watching a feel good entertainer on Diwali. And I'm sure it will do well."

Our source, however believes that releasing a comedy this Diwali, could be one of the best decisions Himesh has taken so far. "While Damadamm will be releasing opposite RA.One, it can be noted that unlike the last five years (Garam Masala, Golmaal, Golmaal Returns, All The Best and Golmaal 3), his will be the only comedy film releasing this Diwali."

He further informs, "The publicity of the film will start in July and continue for three months. The film was earlier made by a corporate house but Himesh has now taken over the film and is planning a grand release for it."

Speaking about the film, Himesh says, "I've been huge Hrishikesh Mukerjee fan and wanted to do a truly entertaining light hearted comedy. After Aap Kaa Suroor, the fate of my other films were not as encouraging but Damadamm is a very well written comedy and I'm sure director Swapna Waghmare Joshi will surprise everyone with this film. In one word if I have to describe Damadamm then I will say that the performances the music and the script reflect sincerity. I think for a feel good entertainer, Diwali is probably the best time for release I could have asked for. The music of Damadamm will be released by my company HR Musik and you will find a completely different Himesh in every song."
