'Omkara' in a coffee-table book

Omkara

Vishal Bharadwaj and Kumar Mangat are going all out on their next film 'Omkara'. On May 20th, Eros International's Kishore Lulla, the international distributors of 'Omkara' played host at the Carlton Hotel, Nikki Beach, Cannes.

Lulla, along with Ajay Devgan, Viveik Oberoi, Bharadwaj and Mangat, launched a coffee-table book 'Omkara', written by Suprateik Sen. Ashok Amritraj released the book. 'Omkara' is Vishal's interpretation of William Shakespeare's Othello.

Vivek Oberoi, who plays Kesu (Cassio) in the film, summed up the occasion perfectly, when he said that the adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello was the best way to communicate to the cinema world that Indian filmdom means business.

In the afternoon, it was Oberoi again who was called upon to introduce the characters in 'Omkara' at a press meet on the ship, Five Angels, as he had studied Shakespeare at Trinity College, London.
