New Delhi, July 9 : A seven-day marriage
celebration with lots of twists and turns is the premise of director
Amrit Sagar's next film "
Rabba Main Kya Karoon".
After
entertaining audiences with National Award winning war film "1971",
Sagar returns to big screen with the light-hearted romantic comedy made
in the backdrop of big fat Indian wedding.
"The film is about two
childhood sweethearts, who eventually decide to get married. But the
seven-day marriage celebration brings lots of twists and turns in their
lives that puts them on the verge of break up. How they handle
situations is what the film is all about," Sagar told IANS.
The
film has been shot in Delhi and the filmmaker said: "Delhi is the
heartland of India and boasts of a modern culture with old school feel,
and this really fascinates me.
"The grandeur of Punjabi
weddings that take place in Delhi is even more fascinating. I have tried
to capture that essence in the film."
Sagar, son of
Moti Sagar of Sagar Arts, shot the film last winter.
Shooting in Delhi was easy considering issues like permissions, but the weather did play spoilsport.
"When
we were shooting in Delhi, it was winter and it was really cold.
Sometimes we struggled but otherwise it was an amazing experience.
"There
are certain places like Connaught Place, where we were not allowed to
shoot as they said they don't give permission to shoot at this place
anymore, otherwise everything went off smoothly."
Asked what took him so long to return with another film, Sagar said he was looking for "a good concept".
Writing
the script, pre-production and casting took a long time. Moreover, we
had so many other things happening on television, he added.
While
the film is the launch vehicle of Amrit's younger brother Aakash Sagar
and actress Tahira Kochchar, it also features Raj Babbar, Arshad Warsi
and Paresh Rawal.
"I would say I just got lucky to have been
able to cast the veterans like Raj Babbar. I went and narrated the film
and he immediately agreed to be a part of it. He has even decided his
own look in the film," said Sagar.
"
Rabba Main Kya Karoon" is in post production stage and is slated to come out in September or October.
