Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is Imran Khan’s only hit film to date and the only film in which his performance was appreciated. Yet, he had no dates to do a cameo in director Abbas Tyrewala’s 1-800-Love, which is why it was scrapped altogether.The cameo was spun around a story. At the end of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Imran and Genelia get married and Jiggy (Nirav Mehta) is the only one who is single at the end of the film. He migrates to London and gets engaged over there, so Genelia and Imran make an appearance at his engagement party. It would have been a continuation from JTYJN.
Abbas wanted to do this as a tribute to Karan Johar’s cinema. After Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Rani had a cameo in K3; both Kajol and Rani appeared in Kal Ho Naa Ho; and Kajol appeared in a song in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.The cameo didn’t materialize because, at the time, Imran was busy shooting for Aamir Khan’s production Delhi Belly, and it was impossible for him to fly to London for a few days, even though Abbas was really keen and Imran Khan felt the same way. So, they cancelled the cameo sequence altogether.
Abbas said, ‘Yes, we wanted to incorporate a cameo with the members of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, but Imran didn’t have dates and it didn’t work out. There is no problem between Imran and me. We like each other just as much, and I hope we work together later.’1-800-Love stars John Abraham and marks the Bollywood debut of Abbas’s wife Pakhi Tyrewala. It will release in mid-2010.
