Nagesh Kukunoor is ready with his next film Aashyein, the title of which is inspired from the popular song in his own brilliant film, Iqbal.
The director hopes to rectify his last film, Bombay To Bangkok with Aashayein, starring John Abraham and television actress, Sonal Sehgal. The cast also includes Vikram Inamdar, Sonali Sachdev, Farida Jalal, Girish Karnad and the Chak De! India girl, Anahita Nair.
The first look of Aashayein was unveiled on Tuesday at Vie Lounge in Juhu, in the Western suburb of Mumbai.
Since John could not make it to the function -- he is presently shooting for Karan Johar's production, Dostana in Miami -- his parents filled in for him.
In the picture: Nagesh Kukunoor, John Abraham's parents Pheroza Abraham and Abraham John, Nagesh's close friend Elahe Haptulla, T-Series head honcho Bhushan Kumar's wife Divya Kumar and Percept Picture Company's head Shailendra Singh.
