'Barsaat' was a romantic drama loosely based on the 2002 movie 'Sweet Home Alabama'. It was released on August 19, 2005 and was a failure at the box office. Although the film's music composed by Nadeem Shravan who were at the top of their game was well-received in all quarters.
Meanwhile, on the work front Priyanka Chopra will be seen in the Russo Brothers’ directorial ‘Citadel’ while Akshay Kumar was recently seen in ‘Cuttputlii’ on Disney+Hotstar alongside Rakul Preet Singh and Sargun Mehta.
