Sanjay Dutt's film stalled
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,February 06 2009]
The global financial crisis has been successful in devouring many ambitious films of B-Town completely.
Some of these projects may have the chance to get revived and some can be attributed to have passed into a dark oblivion for ever.
Sanjay Dutt and financier Bunty Walia's dream period movie based on the battle of Saragarhi is one among the many to have been put on hold.
A staggering budget of Rs.200 crore is the reason that has crippled the battle movie for the time being.
The actor was to play the role of Havaldar Ishar Singh, the leader of a daring Sikh regiment.
As the film's story was based on an epic incident that has never been touched by the film makers before, the announcement of the project raised several expectations.
The news that 20 other male actors will be roped in to play the soldiers of the Sikh regiment also increased the curiosity.
The film lovers also began to speculate about the leading men who will eventually be lucky to hog the spotlight as the brave soldiers.
The makers had also revealed that no stones will be left unturned to make the action oriented patriotic movie to be shot in Morocco a grand affair.
But alas the timing of the movie played the spoilsport and now it is heard that the film production may start after six months and this period can be extended too.
There is still hope as it is told that Sanjay Dutt who had decided to co-produce the film is very much charged up about doing it.
