And this movie could be a comeback vehicle after a few flops. It’s the story of a film director making a movie. Nana Patekar shares the silver screen with Tamil action hero Arjun, in which Bharathiraaja says he has abandoned his trademark rural backdrop and has given a global touch by treating a murder mystery in a totally different manner.
Bharathiraaja has done a variety of films but this is entirely different from all. It’s new even for Indian screen also. Bommalattam will be rechristened Cinema for Bollywood and Kalidas will be its Telegu version. It’s after 25 years Bharathiraaja has renewed ties with Hindi cinema and for this veteran film-maker working with Nana Patekar was a learning experience. Himesh Reshammiya has scored the music and the film is slated for release after Diwali.
