Shekhar Kapur's 'Paani' Updates: New articles pg 6

Posted: 9 years ago
Shekhar Kapur's film finally takes off
        
After a delay of 13 years, his film on water crisis to go on the floors in August.     

Veteran director Shekhar Kapur has been working on his most ambitious
project, Paani, for around 13 years now. But film couldn't see the light
of day due to many reasons " frequent cast changes and exorbitant
budget, among others. But it looks it is finally going on the floors.


     Paani is set in 2050, and tells the story of a time where water, a
rare resource, is controlled by international corporations and thirst
is used as weapon to control people. "The film is going on floors in the
first week of August. The script, screenplay and dialogue have been
locked completely and the preproduction work is going on in full swing,"
says Kapur. Ask him if the entire film will be shot in chroma-key (a
green screen in the background), he says, "No film can be shot entirely
in chroma, but yes, a huge chunk will be shot like that, say 70 to 80
per cent."

     The film stars Sushant Singh Rajput. In the past, names like Vivek
Oberoi and Hrithik Roshan were also considered. But Kapur refuses to
reveal the female actor who's paired opposite Sushant. "We have
finalised the girl but can't reveal her name right now," says Kapur.
According to a source, a major recording studio in the city has been
booked

There's one more- Neeraj Pandey's biopic on M.S. Dhoni- not yet confirmed, but the journalist who wrote that HT article was quite confident of the news going by his comments on twitter, had been tom-tomming about it days in advance, so am hoping that one is true too and not mere speculation. *fingers crossed*

That was honestly the best part of the article. The 'source said this, source said that' type of articles are annoying.

All the films that I have seen directed by Mr. Kapoor list in my all time fav films, Masoom, Mr. India, Bandit Queen and Elizabeth!
 
Very excited to see him directing a film after a really long gap! The subject sounds interesting (something similar to the recently released film, Jal).
 
Sushant must have something in him that directors like Kapoor, Dibakar Banerjee and Raju Hirani are taking him in his films! Good for him...he gives a lot of hope to industry outsiders and newcomers in general!
