| Rajesh Singh's 'Anwar' under his banner Dayal Creations Private Ltd, directed by Manish Jha, is all set for release on 29th December, 2006. Starring Manisha Koirala, Rajpal Yadav, Vijay Raaz, Yashpal Sharma, Hiten Tejwani, Nauheed Cyrusi, Sudhir Pandey, Pankaj Jha and Siddharth Koirala, the film is about the story of a young man 'Anwar', an artist, who leaves his home and everything he knows in order to escape a world he no longer recognizes. Manish Jha who had earlier made his debut with a purposeful film on female infanticide 'Mathrubhoomi is now all set with another meaningful film. Says Manish Jha, "I have to go ahead as a filmmaker. I have to learn a lot. I am happy with the way 'Anwar' has shaped. Making wise as well as genre-wise, 'Anwar' is quite different from 'Mathrubhoomi' though comparisons are going to be there. 'Anwar' is a sensible film, which has a very contemporary story, inspired by the celebrated short story Phalgun Ki Ek Upkatha written by Priyamvad." Rajesh Singh who is basically into construction business asserts that he is basically into a mode of experimenting as a film producer. "I liked the subject when Manish Jha narrated it to me. With 'Anwar', I have learnt the art of making film in a budget," he says. 'Anwar' is looking interesting | <>document.write('Joginder Tuteja, ') Joginder Tuteja, IndiaGlitz [Saturday, January 06, 2007] | |
| Coming Friday sees the release of 'Anwar' that stars Siddharth Koirala in the title role. Pitted against 'Guru', it is indeed a tough task for 'Anwar' to make its presence felt at the box office but by the look of things; it does appear to be a good dramatic outing in the offering. Based on the backdrop of an innocent man [Anwar] caught in the web of politics, communism, media, law keepers and last but not the least, betrayed love, the film is the second directorial outing of Manish Jha who had debuted with a stunning and hard hitting 'Matrabhoomi' a few years back. Initial reports indicate that 'Anwar' is yet another good effort by Jha who has walked a tight rope in narrating the tale of the central protagonist named 'Anwar' and extracted superlative performances by his entire main and supporting cast. Meanwhile two of the songs from the film, 'Maula Mere' and 'Tose Naina Laage', have already caught fancy of the lovers of melodious music and are gracing the music charts. http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/hindi/article/27751.html http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/hindi/article/27175.html http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/hindi/article/28289.html
