EXCLUSIVE - METRO team barges into call centers
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,November 22 2006]
One city. Countless emotions. The business capital of India. The prime target for terrorists. The hub of film makers. The city that wants to be Shanghai. The city that gets drowned in a single day. The city that welcomes everybody with open arms.
Metro
Captured truthfully in Anurag BasuÂs next venture.
Into the 3rd month of shooting, the film is growing beyond expectations. Toggling between sets, real locations, roads this week it went into the amazing world Call Centres. A world that has captured the imagination of thousands of youngsters. An industry that has created a new animal in our society. It brings alive the cultures of the West. Where Ravi becomes Rave. Shantunu becomes Shane. Where Sharman and Kangna find themselves getting into a weird relationship.
The scene was shot in one of the largest call centres in India at Lower Parel. Creating a ambience of largeness. Typical to BasuÂs films, each frame opens up to a larger than life feel. Simple scenes are given a never before magnitude.
While approximately 4000 executives feverishly took calls from across the world, Kangna and Sharman looked the part as employees at the BPO.
From a happy go lucky youngster in RDB and Golmaal, Sharman is ready to surprise the audiences with his matured performance and lovelorn executive. And KangnaÂs stunners continue. From a drunkard in Gangster to a mental patient on Who Lamhe itÂs time for Kangna to don the corporate glam look.
While the young duo engages themselves at the call centre, Shiney is having a hard time in some other part of the city. In a beautiful set put up at Mukesh Mills in Colaba, Shiney and Shilpa enact a traumatic moment in their relationship.
Slated for a February release, Metro promises to bring together some of the best actors of recent times in an unpredictable climax.
