'No filmmaker can ignore Bihar now'

PATNA: If you thought that the Bollywood biggies are suddenly making a beeline to Bihar because they no longer worry about their safety in the state once infamous for crime, here's one of them citing an equally valid reason for the tinsel town's new-found love for the movie buffs of Bihar. "No filmmaker can now afford to ignore Bihar as its audience plays a decisive role in making or marring the fate of a movie," said filmmaker Parvin Dabas.

Dabas along with pretty Preeti Jhangiani was in town on Tuesday to promote 'Sahi Dhandhe, Galat Bande' which is releasing on August 19. Dabas is debuting as a director with the movie which has been produced by Jhangiani, his wife in real life.

"The movie explores the temptations of going against the grain for the lure of lucre," Jhangiani said and added that the script studies the pressure that goads people into acts which are at disharmony with the society and the conscience of the people.

"It is a beautiful blend of entertainment, action, comedy and emotion," Dabas said about the movie which, he claimed, is based on original events which have been fictionalized.

Shot in various parts of north India, the movie features Kiron Joneja Sippy, Anupam Kher, Yashpal Sharma, Neena Kulkarni, Udit Khurana and Tena Desae in its later part. "Though the movie tells a story unfolding in Delhi, people from any part of the country can relate to it," Dabas said.

Dabas would not say if he has planned to make a movie on Bihar. But he has the storyline clear in his mind. "People of Bihar are honest but they had to suffer for long because they were ruled by corrupt leaders. This will make a good story," he said.
