Subhash Ghai goes on floors with Kaanchi
MUMBAI: Ace director Subhash Ghai will start the shoot for his next venture Kaanchi on 24th February 2013 at Film City, Mumbai. Kaanchi is a musical thriller and five songs have already been recorded for the film.
Commenting on directing after four years, Subhash Ghai said, “I am too excited to make this film since this is a contemporary new age story with a lot of energy and music … and actually today I feel the same way that I felt when I started by first film Kalicharan. This script of mine has my lead actress do stunts which is a first in any one of my films, so you can imagine the drama and entertainment in it.”
He further added, “I feel I am always best in a crisis situation. I still remember how much pressure I was under after my film Trimurti flopped and still I went ahead and made Pardes. One thing I can never compromise is the quality of my film making whatever the budget may be. I am glad that I am making a film I want to make it with a stellar cast including Rishi Kapoor and Mithun Chakrovarthy, Kartik Tiwari as a hero and Mishti as my new heroine in Bollywood. Kartik and Mishti both are extremely talented which I have seen them during my workshops with them.”
The movie is set to release on 15 August 2013 after which, Ghai plans to work on a big star cast movie in 2014.
