Some old article

Smoking bandh
By: Upala KBR
November 18, 2006

of Vishal Bhardwaj, Kumar Mangat (producer of Omkara), Anurag Kashyap, John Abraham and Ayesha Takia come together? It translates into a film called No Smoking. Produced by Vishal Bhardwaj, Kumar Mangat and Sunil Lulla of Eros Entertainment, No Smoking is being directed by Anurag Kashyap and stars Ayesha Takia and John Abraham. Here's an exclusive peek into the making of No Smoking, which is currently being shot in Mumbai.

How it happened
Vishal Bhardwaj says, "I have known Anurag since he was writing the dialogues for Satya and I was doing the film's music. His film Black Friday hugely impressed me when I saw it.

Once, during the shooting of Omkara, Anurag dropped in to meet me. He was depressed as none of his films were getting released. I had read No Smoking and liked the script a lot so I asked him about it. He narrated it to me again and that's when I told him I would love to produce the film.

No Smoking is a very unusual story; a bizarre, entertaining thriller that keeps you guessing at every turn. You're completely glued to the narrative. I have seen the rushes and John is doing such a brilliant job, while Ayesha is a very pleasant surprise."

Kumar Mangat adds, "When Vishal asked us to hear Anurag's script, my son Abhishek and I were completely floored. It's more commercial than Omkara. It has a song sung by Adnan Sami, Jab bhi cigarette jalti hai mein jalta hoon, which will be a bigger hit than Beedi jalai le in Omkara. Vishal has scored the music for the film with lyrics by Gulzar saab. We are aiming for a May 2007 release as we plan to premiere it the Cannes Film Festival."

Personal experience
Anurag Kashyap, who used to be a chain smoker, says, "There are lots of personal experiences in the film. Some of the chief characters are a chain smoker K (John), his wife Anjali (Takia), his friend Abbas (Ranvir Shorey) and Kikoo Kishanchandani (Chikoo). He is a great actor whom I took from the Great Indian Comedy Show and resembles Raj Kumar Santoshi, who couldn't do the film. I wanted the character to look like him."

John plays a "selfish, arrogant, complex, MCP whose marriage is on the rocks. He goes to a supposed rehab center to quit smoking but then it becomes a roller-coaster ride from there — horror, caper, comedy, thriller."

Johny bravo!
Says Anurag, "People will be shocked by John's performance in the film and to the level he has taken his character. He has got under the skin of the character and comes prepared every day. Ayesha is a natural. She is the next Rani Mukerji." About 40 per cent of the film is complete and a chunk is to be shot in Siberia.

Penalty time
Rues Anurag, "Kumarji has imposed a fine that anybody who smokes on the sets will be fined Rs 500 per cigarette. Even if I was hiding somewhere trying to smoke, one of the ADs would click pictures of me and report it to Kumarji. I must have paid Rs 12,000 by now. Now, I have told Kumarji's son Abhishek to tell me when his snoops are around and I will pay half the fine to him!"
