Filmmaker adamant about shooting in Pakistan
| By: Subhash K Jha |
Now that the embers of 26/11 have somewhat ceased to smolder, several filmmakers are planning movies that go beyond the hate statements that the terrorist attacks had provoked.
One such film that is ready to roll is being directed by Sourabh Narang whose last film Vastu Shastra was a horror in unexpected ways. Omgggg.....he is the director of that horror film turned comedy film??😕
Now Narang wants to take our movies beyond the horror of 26/11 with a sweet and salty socio-political comment on the stony relations between India and Pakistan.
The film titled Return Gift features Rajeev Khandelwal who plays an IAS officer saddled with the job of carrying a gift to Pakistan from the Indian government. Omgg.....Plzz think again Rajeev😕....The script sounds really fabulous....The director is sooo NOT gud,considering his Vastu-Shastra....Where is Rajkumar Gupta......Mr.Gupta...Save your Aamir from this disaster of a Director !!😭
However, the toughest task for the filmmaker is getting permission to shoot across the border. The toughest task for him is to NOT spoil this film like Vastu Shastra !😕 I hope he directs well this time around !! Plzz !😕
But Narang is adamant. And he's got Rajeev all charged up to start shooting in July. "I have to cut my hair short to play a bureaucrat.😳Yay....!! Better than the long locks anyday.....I dont like men keeping long hair !! God knows, I prayed for SRK to cut his locks😆😆!!
I had grown my hair long for a film. Then I've to familiarise myself with the diplomatic dimensions between the two countries," said Rajeev.😳
Mahesh Bhatt's Awaarapan and then Sanjay Singh Chauhan's Lahore were the last films to be shot in Pakistan. And It seems they were the last films of the respective Director's aswell😆....I didnt even know that there is a movie called Lahore...Niice !! Given, I generally have good knowledge on b'wood.....HECK, I even know abt "Desh Drohi" and "Saawan - the luv season"😆
