EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI
Karan Johar has announced his next film which will be directed by Soham Shah, who had earlier directed ‘Kaal’ for the same production house. The film has been titled ‘Race’ and stars Sanjay Dutt, John Abraham, Riteish Deshmukh and Kareena Kapoor in pivotal roles.
The musical trio of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy has been signed to compose music for the film. The same set of music directors had earlier composed music for Dharma Productions’s Kal Ho Naa Ho and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.
Javed Akhtar has been signed to pen the lyrics for the film. Farah Khan will choreograph and direct the dance sequences in the film. Apart from this, Anurag Kashyap will write the dialogues for the film and Santosh Thundiyil of ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, ‘Waqt: A Race against Time’ and ‘Krrish’ fame will handle the cinematographic department.
Soham Shah’s directorial debut ‘Kaal’ was an unusual entry in the film making era. The film was based on wild life and spirit. After his innovative stint, the young director will don the captain’s cap yet again for a bigger ‘Race’.
Sanjay Dutt and John Abraham will share the silver screen yet again after Sanjay Gupta’s Zinda. Their performance was quivering in Zinda. The film also stars Kareena Kapoor which will mark her comeback in Dharma Productions after Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham. She was the first choice for the role of Naina Catherine Kapur in Nikhil Advani’s directed ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ but due to money issues, opted out of the movie. Preity Zinta later did the role.
The casting sounds cool and the technicians are talented. Let’s hope they ‘Race’ into the limelight.
