Dholakia says YES' to alcohol 

The Parzania director has decided to bring out the real story behind the illegal liquor trade in 

Gujarat fuelled by the Government's age-old prohibition laws 

His hard-hitting film Parzania exposed the real-life experience of a 10-year-old Parsi boy who 

disappeared during communal riots in Gujarat and won Rahul Dholakia the National Film Award. 

Sticking to his genre of filmmaking, Dholakia is gearing up to raise the bar a notch higher. 

 

This time, Dholakia is all set to address a state-wide issue of 

prohibition of alcohol in Gujarat and how it fuels the rampant illegal 

selling and consuming of liquor. 

 

Our source elaborated, "Rahul Dholakia is keen to make a movie on 

the prohibition of alcohol in Gujarat as this topic has been largely 

unexplored. The filmmaker has roped in two Ahmedabad-based 

journalists to write the film. 

 

The script is packed with a decade-long research on the issue namely 

- the impact of dry laws on socio, religious and cultural ethos. From 

Gandhi to Modi, the liquor policy in the state has been consistent. 

 

The illegal trade of liquor in Gujarat is estimated to be over 12 to 

15,000 crore, which is almost five times the state's health and 

education budget. Irrespective of the political party that comes to 

power, no leader likes to tread on this sensitive issue. 

 

The film covers a gamut of related issues ranging from revenues to religion, the politics of 

prohibition to communalism and mafiaraaj. 

 

The film is inspired by the modus operandi of real life gangsters, bureaucrats, politicians and 

police officers, spanning the last two decades. It will have three lead characters. 

 

Casting is still under process though. The film will be shot in the narrow by-lanes of Gujarat and 

the seashore of Maharashtra as it has a strong link to the Bombay blasts." 

 

When contacted, Dholakia confirmed the proceedings and added, "We are already done with 

the first draft. I am pretty excited about the film. It will go on floors very soon." 

 

When asked why he selected this particular issue to address, Dholakia said, "It is a question 

one needs to answer. The film won't be an intellectual discussion on the subject but will be very 

entertaining. 

 

I plan to show the entire nexus of illegal liquor business in the state, which is thriving because of 

the prohibition. In India there are many layers to such issues with the communal divide, the land 

mafia and other factors, everything is somehow related to alcohol."

Sounds really interesting, I'm excited!

This movie sounds exciting but I won't get excited until SRK confirms it. Any rumors about the lead actress? Really hoping its PC or Vidya
