Good Luck to Ramsay and Bhagat

After their debut films flopped, Aryeman Ramsay and Sayali Bhagat are hoping for a hit with Good Luck.

A lot of newcomers join Bollywood with the hope of making it big, but lady luck only smiles at a chosen few. The rest have to wait for another opportunity to prove themselves. With Aditya Datta's Good Luck, Aryeman Ramsay and Sayali Bhagat are hoping for some good fortune following disastrous starts in their careers with Family and The Train respectively.

Second opportunity

Aryeman is the son of popular producer Keshu Ramsay, who made a series of Khiladi flicks with Akshay Kumar before launching Aryeman in Family. The film bombed and Aryeman was almost written off. Being the son of producer Keshu Ramsay has its advantages. Aryeman got a second chance in Good Luck – after all, the film is produced by his uncle Karan Ramsay.

"My debut film may not have worked, but I hope Good Luck brings me some good luck," says Aryeman. It is not only Aryeman, but also Bhagat who will need the luck as she disappeared from the scene after The Train, where she had the hugely popular dance track Woh Ajnabee. She also did an item number in Halla Bol but that did not leave much of an impression on audiences.

Third time lucky?

Compared to the lead pair, Datta was luckier the first time around as his Emraan Hashmi musical Aashiq Banaya Apne did reasonably well, thanks to Himesh Reshammiya's fabulous score. But his second flick, Dil Diya Hai, flopped. So is he expecting to be third time lucky? "Good Luck is a musical comedy and I expect the film to relaunch Aryeman's career," says Datta.

Initially, Nisha Kothari was signed to play the lead heroine until she was ousted from the project for acting pricey. Without confirming or denying Kothari's association with project, Datta is happy that he signed Bhagat purely because of her professional approach. Besides Datta, popular singer-actor Lucky Ali makes a comeback in Good Luck after the 2000's Kaante, Sur and Kasak.

Lucky kisses

After locking lips with Hashmi in The Train, Bhagat vowed not to repeat her passionate onscreen kisses. However, she kisses Aryeman umpteen times in Good Luck. So what led to the change of heart? "Good Luck's script demands those kisses and they are an integral part of its storyline," says Bhagat.

Good Luck is about aspiring singer Vicky (Aryeman) who is having a spell of bad luck until he accidentally kisses Saba (Bhagat) at a party. Vicky's luck changes for the better as he is immediately signed by music baron Tarun (Ali). But Saba loses her job and her luck worsens.

On the advice of a tarot card reader (Archana Puran Singh), Saba is supposed to kiss Vicky again to turn her luck back around. She then kisses everyone from a cop (Sarat Saxena) to a gigolo (Ranvir Shorey).
