Ashutosh Gowariker keeps it short
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,April 26 2010]
Based on the Chittagong uprising of the 1930s, Ashutosh Gowariker's ÂKhelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey is going to bring forth a never-before pair  Abhishek Bachchan and Deepika Padukone.
Mostly shot in the locales of Goa, ÂKhelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey is expected to hit the screens on December 3 this year. The film is co-produced by Sunita A. Gowariker, Ajay Bijli and Sanjeev Bijli and presented by Ashutosh Gowariker Productions Pvt. Ltd (AGPPL) and PVR Pictures. While the lyrics have been penned by Javed Akhtar, music is by Sohail Sen.
Unlike his previous films, Ashutosh is keen to keep the filmÂs length quite short, that is, just two hours. While his earlier project ÂJodhaa Akbar bombarded at box office owing to its long length, looks like the director has taken time management lessons.
ÂKhelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey is said to be inspired from ÂDo And DieÂ, a book by Manini Chatterjee. The film also features Vishakha Singh, Samrat Mukherji, Sikander Kher, Maninder Singh, Feroz Wahid Khan and Shreyas Pandit.
At a press meet held recently, the producers stated that the film is an inspirational one and it should be watched by the current generation. They further said that it is very much in line with their philosophy to touch, move and inspire audiences through the language of films.
