Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar and Dibakar Banerjee will pay tribute to the 100 years of Hindi cinema with a one-of-a-kind film titled Bombay Talkies. The film is compromised of four short films stitched together, each directed by one of these profound filmmakers. Karan has recently been in the news with the announcement of his cast for Bombay Talkies. For the film, the Dharma Productions chief has roped in actors Saqib Saleem, Rani Mukerji and Randeep Hooda.
Previously, there were rumors of Karan Johar having cast his close friend and superstar Shah Rukh Khan for a part in the short-film. This however wasn’t true. Also, the theme and story of Karan’s short-film hasn’t been revealed and fans expect a lot from this filmmaker who has on previous account wowed the world with his directorial ventures that include Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006), My Name Is Khan (2010) and his latest release, Student of the Year (2012).
The film will be Karan Johar’s shortest project. While his previous movies have all been sagas that have run for as long as 200 minutes and above, this 20 minute film is indeed a challenge. “For me, it’s a challenging format. We have 20 minutes to tell a story, which is coherent and connected to the other plots. This can be a challenge for any filmmaker,” says Karan.
Bombay Talkies is expected to hit cinema screens on the 3rd of May to commemorate the day the Father of Indian Cinema, Dadasaheb Phalke, released Raja Harishchandra, India’s first motion picture.
