At 84 Dev Anand plans for a hit film
Age normally tends to be a disadvantage for the stars of Bollywood. But if there is one actor who defies this then that's Dev Anand. The 84-year-old actor has announced his new film Chargesheet - a murder mystery that will star Jackie Shroff and like always a host of newcomers.
"I always stood for newcomers. I think there is immense talent in our country that needs to be tapped. We, as responsible filmmakers, should always provide them the opportunity to prove their mettle," says the senior actor.
Speaking about the film's storyline, Dev saab says "The story is set in Panchgani where the major portion of the film will be shot which I will start as soon as the monsoon ends. I have been working on the script for quite a long time and it has shaped up really well. I hope it will strike the chord with the masses. My last few films did not do well as I was not aware of the marketing technique which is prevalent today, but I will not take any chance with this project as it is very dear to me," Anand said.
And like always he will also act in the film. He will play a retired CBI officer and believes that the film will be one of his best projects till date and people will see him at his best as an actor and director.
Talking about Jackie who will play an actor in the film, Dev Anand says, "Jackie is very dear to me from the days when we worked together in Swami Dada. He has a very interesting role to play in the film, which I will not divulge now."
The film is expected to be complete by January 2009.
Chargesheet will be the 37th movie of Anand's production company Navketan Films that has given countless blockbuster hits like Baazi, Kala Bazar, Guide, Jewel Thief, Prem Pujari, Hare Rama Hare Krishna and Heera Panna.
