Aziz Mirza of Chalte Chalte was questioned whether what kept him away after Chalte Chalte. He said that he lost his wife a few days after the release of Chalte Chalte. It was very difficult for him to cope with that. They had been together since their school days. He guesses that was the reason why he is romantic and it shows in his films. Slowly, his kids started coaxing him to make a film, but he wasn't sure about that for a long time. Speaking about Kismat Konnection he said that he had begun considering making a film on death and love after going through the pain of losing his wife. But around that time, his daughter Raila came up with an idea, which he loved. After that whoever he discussed the idea with, loved it. He also spoke about Shahid that Shahid is a very good actor. If your actor is good, the effort rubs off on you as a director. In many areas, he has surpassed his expectations. In fact, both Shahid and Vidya have done more justice to their characters than the way he had conceived it. These kids have put in extra effort, so he pushed them even more. He enjoys working with actors who want to excel. He said that one just couldn’t push some actors because you know they have limitations.
About Shahid and Vidya’s buzz he said that he is not someone who can think of all those commercial aspects. You can't think of all that when you make a film. At least he doenn't think about all that. Even when he wanted to cast Shah Rukh, people told hem 'look at his hair, why do you want to cast him?' But he was convinced that he is a good actor. Similarly, when he signed Shahid, neither Vivah nor Jab We Met had released, but he knew instinctively that Shahid is a good actor. Besides, he suited the role.
Shahid is a great dancer and Vidya is a very hardworking actress. They both have done a good job in the video. Also, he is all right with dance numbers as long as they are not vulgar. A good dance song is something everybody loves today. In any case, he leaves all the promotion work up to the kids — Raila, Shahid and Vidya, and Ramesh Taurani, who is the producer of the film. He says that he had kept Lucky Charm as the working title, but it was Sanjay Chhel’s idea to call it Kismat Konnection.

Am looking forward to the Movie. I somehow like Aziz Mirza'a movies, they are quite Slick and romantic. I even liked Chalte Chalte. Also the music is ALWAYS very catchy. One particular song in Kismet Connection is quite catchy some thing like take u higher but I can hardly understand the Lyrics :)
I saw movie but doesn't seems the direction of Aziz Mirza's other movies like raju ban gaya gentelman and kabh haan kabhi naa.
