Excerpts from a boatman ;
‘That’s Meer Ghat, associated with Meerabai. That’s where
Shabana Azmi’s English film was going to be shot… but they were chased away,’
said Gorakh referring to Deepa Mehta’s Water. ‘Why?’ ‘Arrey, it was on a
sensitive subject – Indian widows. There is a widow house right there… below
Ganapathi Guest House. You have to keep in mind local sentiments.’
‘It’s only a film and eventually they shot it… in Sri
Lanka’, we countered, defending artistic freedom. ‘Hardly surprising, Ravana’s
evil lair! Who says not to shoot here – Arjun Pandit, Yamla Pagla Deewana, Laga
Chunari Mein Daag were all filmed at Man Mandir ghat. That’s the boat in which
Ram Teri Ganga Maili was shot. There’s Pradeep Kumar’s riverside mansion. But
anything ulta pulta…’ Gorakh shook his head.
Srinidhi Shetty tipped to make Tamil debut opposite Ajith
Amid the rising expectations, the latest discussion about
the film's leading lady has come to light. Reports suggest that Srinidhi
Shetty, who gained nationwide fame for her role in the 'KGF' series, is in
advanced talks to act opposite Ajith. This will mark her Tamil debut, and her
role in 'Ak 64' adds a new dynamic to the film's casting.
“It is said that SSMB29 has created the costliest film set
of the Indian Cinema, amounting to 50 crore! This is almost 150% higher than
the previous costliest set of the Indian Cinema, which is now occupying the
second spot after Rajamouli’s film took the top spot!
