“Ster-Kinekor is a proud supporter of Bollywood in general, but we are especially excited about bringing local Bollywood films, like Pyaar Ajnabee Hai to our audiences.

Pyaar Ajnabee Hai is unlike anything local movie-goers have seen before, and tells the story of a family from India that has relocated to South Africa. Besides mom, dad and siblings, they also brought along the entertaining servant Gully (Shabeer Shaik) who ensures for plenty of laughs and entertainment. Yuvraj (Hoosein Vally) has chosen a groom from India for his daughter Karina (Varsha Singh). However, she is already in love with another man, so enlists the help of struggling actor Karan (Akrum Amod) to play the role of her husband. What happens next is a string of funny and moving moments, as their family dynamics are changed forever.

“Pyaar Ajnabee Hai is the story about a stranger bringing love, joy and happiness to a family,” says Akrum Amond “It’s one of the first Bollywood-style productions ever produced in the country, and consists of 50% Hindi dialogue and includes subtitles. It’s also shot in high definition, using the most up-to-date equipment in every step of the production process,” he adds.
