Known for making films on current issues, Ram Gopal Varma is ready to start his next flick titled 26/11, which is based on the infamous Mumbai terror attacks. Speaking about the film, Ramu said, "26/11 is a date no Indian will ever forget. The three-day live telecast of the terrorist carnage had people's eyes glued to the television sets across world. Everyone more or less has seen or heard of what happened during that time. But my attempt now would be not only to capture the physical aspect but also behind the scenes aspects of what exactly happened from the time Kasab and rest of the team landed on Amar Singh Solanki's trawler in the high seas, till Kasab's heroic capture by the late Tukaram Ombale at Girgaum Chowpatty. This will be inter-cut with what the various gallant police officers did in their attempt to get the situation under control.
The film would be made for both national as well as the international audiences. It will have completely new cast to create a heightened sense of reality. RGV also added that "After my tryst with so called the underworld films, I would consider this film as a greatest challenge of my career".
Readers maybe aware that, three years back, Varma's walk through the half-burnt hotel accompanied by the then-Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh and his actor son Riteish had led to speculations that he might be making a film on the attacks. But Varma denied he was invited by Deshmukh and his son to visit Taj so that he could see the devastation first hand and portray it realistically in a movie. "I only got the idea now. I have enough knowledge and understanding of the events now. Also, at that point the allegations were about Riteish being a part of this project, which he is not," says he.
Varma is being assisted by Rommel Rodrigues, author of 'Kasab, The Face Of 26/11', who has an extensive and encyclopaedic knowledge of the event, but the film will not be based on the book. |
