At last Nana Patekar has agreed to do a film with a south Indian director but it will be in Hindi! Veteran director Bharathiraaja is now directing Patekar as the hero in a film aptly titled Bharathiraaja’s Cinema.
The Muhurat of Bharathiraaja’s Cinemawas held at the J.W.Marriott hotel in Mumbai in a grand manner with Vikram giving the first clap. Boney Kapoor and his wife Sridevi, Adlabs Manmohan Shetty, David Dhawan and other dignitaries were present at the function last Sunday (Mar 26) in Mumbai. The guest list included Padmini Kolhapure, Poonam Dhillon, Rati Agnihotri and Tamil yesteryear heroine Radha.
Bharathiraaja’s Cinema is produced by Bharathiraaja and two other NRI’s Paul.C.Pandian and Raj Rajendran with P.G. Shreekkanth as the co-producer under the banner of Therkutti Kalai Koodam cinema. The shooting will start in Mumbai Film city with the unit shifting to Goa and London later. It will be ready for release by September.
Top line technicians are part of the team like Art director Sabu Cyril, Cameraman Natraj (‘Parineeta’ fame), Raju Sundaram and Himesh Reshmayya the hot shot music director. Patekar plays a film director and the two heroines are ex-model Serena and Roopali Ganguly. But a murder takes place on the sets of Patekar’s film which leads to a twist in the tale. A CBI officer is asked to investigate which leads to some startling facts.
Says Patekar: “I signed the film as I liked my character and I’m sure that Raja sir will give the film his signature touch”.
