NEW DELHI, Feb 24:
Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai today began shooting of his next directorial venture ‘Kanchi’, a musical thriller, featuring Rishi Kapoor and Mithun Chakrovarthy with two newcomers.
Talking about his new film, Ghai, who began shooting at Film City in Mumbai, said, “I am too excited to make this film since this is a contemporary new age story with a lot of energy and music.
“Actually, today I feel the same way that I felt when I started by first film ‘Kalicharan’. This script of ‘Kanchi’ 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.”
Asked whether he was under pressure, considering that his last few films had not done well commercially, the Director said, “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.”
Talking about the two newcomers, Ghai said, “Kartik and Mishti both are extremely talented which I have seen them during my workshops with them.”
Five songs of Kaanchi, a musical thriller, have already been recorded.
“We are set to release this movie on August 15 and thereafter I am going to work on a big star cast movie in the year 2014,” Ghai said. (UNI)
