To dispel rumors that his new flick Aladin is anything like the Disney Aladdin, director Sujoy Ghosh tweeted the basic premise of the film on his twitter:

People keep asking me but I swear ALADIN is NOT the Disney one. 2 totally separate. And the Disney one is so kickass. Why copy & spoil it !

This is a story of a boy whose name happens 2b Aladin. He gets bullied in school & made to rub lamps. Grows up HATING lamps

1day Jasmine arrives & Aloo falls in love. But he is too shy b4 he knows it Jasmine is whisked away by Kasim. Aloo accepts his fate

just to bully him Kasim makes Aloo rub a lamp in front of Jasmine. But this time a stranger appears who totally freaks out Aloo

the strange dude is in a hurry & claims 2b GENIUS the genie of the lamp. Aloo is like WHOA dude that’s a story no can happen 4 real

Genius tells Aloo to shut up & just take his 3 wishes post which he intends to vamoose. Aloo is confused. Genius decides to help.

Genius cons Aloo into wasting his 1st 2 wishes but for the 3rd wish Aloo has Genius stumped. Aloo wants to win the heart of Jasmine

but Genius is not allowed to use magic. G has no clue how to. Each attempt is a disaster. How G helps Aloo to win Jasmine is ALADIN

oh and RINGMASTER is an ex genie who needs the lamp to become a genie again. So he’s going to wreck havoc and kill Aladin.

RM doesn’t care about Genius bcos he has a piece of the lamp which is like kryptonite for Genius. So RM is pretty set in his goal

that is a nutshell was ALADIN. I hope I haven’t copied the Disney one let me know if any questions.

What do YOU think??

Amitabh Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, director Sujoy Ghosh and Shekhar Ravjiani were on hand to officially launch the music of Aladin. That cute cut-out yellow lamp is SUCH a cute touch!!

We got our hands on the album and it’s definitely different. Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar have tried to take the music to another level and they’ve really suceeded!!

Take a listen to our favorite track from the album, You May Be sung by V AND S:
