I Hate Luv Storys has taken a fantastic opening at the box office, something which the entire team including Karan Johar, Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor were quite sure of once they wrapped up the film. Now that youth is patronising the film in a big way and spreading good word of mouth, Imran is expectedly pleased. More so because after the non-performance of Kidnap and Luck, it was Karan Johar who stood besides him.

Story: Jay Dhingra (Imran Khan) is an aaj ka chokra. He turns up his nose at anything that remotely resembles soppy sentimentality, even though he works as an assistant to a film maker (Samir Soni) who peddles the most improbable mush on screen.

Enter, the new art director, Simran Sharma (Sonam Kapoor) who eats, sleeps and is drunk heady on ishq-vishq and all that goes with it. A diehard romantic, she even has a perfect boyfriend called Raj (Samir Dattani) who gifts her a white chrysanthemum, each time he meets her.

Producer Karan Johar, director Punit Malhotra and the team of Dharma Productions I Hate Luv Storys have grown to admire and adore the light-eyed Imran Khan.

Imran, who plays Jay in IHLS, a guy who is a bit cynical about love has turned in such a convincing performance in the rom-com releasing worldwide on July 2; that Karan and Co are absolutely gaga about him. Punit says, “Imran is so dedicated that it is an absolute delight to work with him.”

The first thing that attracts you to I HATE LUV STORYS is its title. Let's face it, we adore love stories... at least I do. We idolise the characters decades after the movies have come and gone. The songs that come on our lips instantly while playing a game of antakshri are romantic songs as well. In fact, the biggest moneyspinners, let's face it, have been love stories, right? So how can we 'hate' a love story?

It is almost July and it seems with that comes a new Imran Khan movie! His first film, Jaane Tu Ya... Jaane Na released on July 4th, 2008, and then last year Luck released in July as well. This year it is the highly, highly, did I say highly, anticipated I Hate Luv Storys (IHLS), directed by Punit Malhotra. One of the things that fans have gotten the most excited about in I Hate Luv Storys is Imran's performance as Jay.

Imran Khan was shocked beyond belief when despite security efforts a crazy fan managed to bite his hand

When Brad Pitt had a run-in with his crazy fan at the Venice Film Festival, his security agents were quick to act. The female fan wasn’t able to put her lips to his and had to make do with just an embrace. Imran Khan had no such luck.

A quick bite left Imran Khan with a bad taste in the mouth... quite literally. The actor, who was in the UK on Friday for the promotions of his film I Hate Luv Storys took ill after tucking into an English pie. He felt queasy and began throwing up soon after.

He muses, "There was something wrong with the pie," adding that, "that place did look a bit shady," in retrospect. The actor received medical attention and is now better.
