Few things accomplish ideas of fantasy and escapism in our movies like the sight of the hero and heroine canoodling in a field of mustard flowers.
From rendering a dreamy aura to onscreen romance to underlining a distinctly 'mera gaon mera desh' sentiment, especially when describing Punjab, the quintessential 'sarson' enjoys a poetic place in Bollywood imagery.
Recently we caught a glimpse of Janhvi Kapoor prancing in the fields while filming Anand L Rai's Good Luck Jerry in Punjab.
Going by the backdrop of this on-the-sets capture of Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor's Lal Singh Chaddha, one can be sure to catch a peek of the same in the Forrest Gump remake.
