Apoorva's Gandhigiri Gang film
People are tired of violence so director decided to change the gangland formula.
Apoorva Lakhia is taking gang films to the next level: non-violent.This may come as a relief to audiences pakaoed by the formulaic interpretations of Mumbai gangs, represented by dud films from Ram Gopal Verma and Sanjay Gupta.
"We've seen enough gangsters shooting at one another, killing, maiming and running from the law," Lakhia says, explaining why the film is to have none of that.His movie is "about the inner world of the two families from the underworld, their family life and emotions. It would be a gangster film without violence."
Jemal Mecklai will produce and Suresh Nair will write the script."Being a journalist, Suresh's spadework is amazing. I've done all my scripts in collaboration with Suresh."
A second film that Lakhia is working on will be with be a continuation of his current partnership with Ekta Kapoor."It will star a pair that will emerge from the reality show that she's doing from next month. It will feature Sanjay Dutt in the lead, plus Zayed Khan, Tusshar Kapoor, Suniel Shetty."
But at the moment Lakhia, who hit the jackpot with "Shootout At Lokhandwala", is looking only at "Mission Istanbul" that is releasing Friday."It has turned out to be bigger than we expected. I don't want to make any tall claims. I just want to do my work quietly," says Lakhia.
