There have been last-minute controversies centering around Maya Dolas' mother, who has filed a writ plea in the court...
Sanjay Gupta's legal department will take care of that issue. I have nothing to comment on the matter. In a way, the characterisation is akin to that of Sholay, where there are just two principal characters of the Thakur and Gabbar Singh. Here too, there are two major characters - Sanjay Dutt who plays A.A. Khan and myself, who is Maya Dolas, the dreaded criminal.
How would you describe SHOOTOUT AT LOKHANDWALA from your point of view?
I would say it is a shocking, hypnotic look at a real-life disaster, the infamous Lokhandwala shootout of 1991. The shootout explores the personal obsessions and sacrifices of the two principal protagonists, Additional Commissioner and ATS chief A.A. Khan and Maya and the lives of people connected with them, with absorbing insight. The film promises some of the most riveting action sequences to be ever filmed.
Considering the hype that SAL is carrying with it, and the critical appreciation that your last film OMKARA received, you must be flooded with numerous offers. Are you inclined to bite the bait?
Not at all. I am in no hurry to exploit the situation. Money is not everything for me. There are offers from corporate biggies too, but I have preferred to be choosey. Now is the time for me to be very careful while agreeing to do any film. The role has to be meaty.
What's next on the cards?
There's FOOL N FINAL, which is quite contrary to the action films that I have been doing. |
