Would you watch RGV's film on 26/11?
Three years after Ram Gopal Varma went hoarse claiming he would not make a film on the 26/11 attacks after he was spotted touring at one of the affected sites, the Taj Mahal hotel, the filmmaker has confirmed that he is indeed making a film on the tragedy.
'After 'Department.' I am making a film on the attacks of 26/11,' he tweeted.
'Every one more or less has seen on TV or heard of what happened during that time. But my attempt now would be not only to capture on film the physical aspect but also the behind the scenes aspect of what exactly happened from the time Kasab and rest of the team landed on Amar Singh Solanki's trawler in the high seas, till kasab's heroic capture by the late Tukaram Ombale at Girgaum chowpatty. This will be intercut with what the various gallant police officers did in their attempt to get the situation under control.
'I am being assisted by Rommel Rodrigues, author of "Kasab the face of 26/11", who has an extensive and encyclopedic knowledge of the event but my film is not based on his book,' he added.
