If the maverick film maker Wilson Louis had his way, he would soon have his name entering the record books. The Reason? He is perhaps the first film maker to be picking up specific time and season for setting each of his films. What makes his films special is the fact they are all set in horror-thriller genre, hence adding on to the chill.
The writer-director who started off his big screen career with Ho Sakta Hai is now aiming to make three films which are set in day, night and rain setting. While two of them are almost complete, the work on the third film is already in progress.
Informs Wilson Louis, "Lonavala Khandala Ghat is getting readied for release and the whole film is basically a night horror film. It is based in a haunted place, a villa where a real life couple was actually slaughtered more than 100 years back. Legend is that their souls are still wandering in this villa."
âOn the other hand Kaalo, my next film for which the principal shooting is through, is a day horror film. It is about this strange creature which attacks a bus in the middle of a desert. The film has been shot prominently in Jaisalmer", details Wilson.
So what next is in the pipeline?
âWhile I am looking forward to the release of Lonavala Khandala Ghat and Kaalo (either of the two could arrive first), I am already neck deep into pre-production of my next film. It is going to be a rain horror flick. I should be beginning shooting for this film around July/August this year", says Wilson.
With so many back to back horror flicks that he is directing, it seems that this genre is indeed his favorite?
"You are right", agrees Wilson, "I love making horror flicks. For me, it's also a quest to know more about supernatural. Though I am open to working in other genres as well, horror gives me a definite high." Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 26 Apr 2008 | 1:41 pm
While Yash Raj Films' (YRF) Tashan might be facing some 'tashan' from the multiplexes, YRF seems to be going all out to promote their film in terms of marketing and promotions.
After having the film's cast (Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor) make an appearance in the 'Mumbai Indians' team of the Indian Premiere League (IPL), YRF tied up with Mumbai dabbawalas as a part of the film's latest promotion. In which, the dabbawalas wore a bright Tashan T-shirt and the dabba too had the Tashan's sticker with a paan attached to it.
Speaking about this unique marketing strategy to Bollywood Hungama, Monica of YRF said, "The 'dabbawala' initiative was YRF's in-house brainwave. The response to which was very good. Tashan means style and that's why we wanted to add a little bit of style to the way the people eat their lunch!"
Way to go, Yash Raj! Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 26 Apr 2008 | 1:24 pm
