"Anything worth doing is difficult".

This usage can be attributed to how the production of the realistic film 'Lamha' in Kashmir is going on.

The daring director Rahul Dholakia is facing immense difficulties in each step that he is taking in making his passion for portraying the real problems faced by the people of Kashmir a reality.

The fruit traders in a market in the state were the first ones to halt the shooting going on in the place as they feared that the film intends to showcase them in a bad light.

The presence of a gun holding artist of the film also led to more speculations leading to a situation where the director was asked to show the footage that he had canned to the locals.

Then it was the turn of the students of a college in south Kashmir's Anantnag district who objected to the nature of the some of the scenes which were being shot there.

Finally the principal asked the cast and crew to stop the shooting and go.

Then again when the shooting was going on in the uptown Maharaja Bazaar area, the production was made to stop by some people.

The reasons are yet not know.

Rahul Dholakia intends to present a story which speaks for the never before exposed faces of the conflict going on in Kashmir and the painful suffering of the thousands of natives.

He has done intense research for two years and traveled to a lot of places studying the real issues.

Rahul even met a senior separatist leader and he has assured everyone that his story will only come from a true perspective.

The film maker says that during his travel through the state, he had gone to a village named Dardpora in which there are hundreds of women waiting with the photographs of their husbands and sons to come back home.

The film has Sanjay Dutt, Bipasha Basu and Anupam Kher doing the lead roles.

"Although it is a love story, I will be hated outside after the release of 'Lamha'. It will depict Kashmir's pain as I have seen during two years"

This is what Rahul Dholakia has to say.

Seems he has fully made up his mind for some kind of consequences after the movie gets to the theatres.
