After
Marathi television serials, South Indian media mogul Ramoji
Rao is venturing into less trodden territory.
Beginning
10 April, the producer will flag off the shooting of a film
that will be made simultaneously in Marathi and Gujarati.
The film, to be made at a budget of Rs 8 million, will have
distinct dialogues, cast and music, adapted suitably for
both languages. This is the first time a film with the same
script and music is being created in two languages simultaneously,
say industry observers.
The film, a comedy written by Ashok Upadhyay, is titled
Bin Paishacha Tamasha in Marathi and Wala Aave
to Saachu bol in Gujarati. To be shot in a tight
schedule of 45 days at the Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad,
the film is slated for a Diwali release, says Chetan Dubey,
who will edit both films.
To
be directed by Vinay Laad, who has five Marathi films to
his credit so far, the films will be shot in cinemascope,
a rarity for regional films. Some of the cast, which includes
Marathi actors Avinash Kharshikar, Vijay Chavan and Pallavi
Subhash, will be repeated in both versions.
The
music, scored by Nishikant Sadafule, sets another trend
in that the songs are all western style numbers, two of
which are common for both versions. The entire central cast
of both films totalling nearly 20 is already assembled at
RFC, ready to begin shooting for the film which will be
done shot-wise, say sources.
