‘Take
two’ shot in Colombo
By Ramesh Uvais
One of India’s young and dynamic film director Amit Saxena
and his team are now in Colombo picturising a Hindi movie ‘Take
two’. The star cast comprising Karan Oberoi,Sandhya Shetty
(our cover girl this week), Vidya, and Sheeba are portraying roles
revolving around a story on a novel theme.
Director
Amit Saxena amidst his busy shooting schedule told the TV Times
the story is given a new kind of treatment based on real life situations.
“The film starts with the lead girl’s car breaking down
on her way to for an important interview. Just then one of her good
friends passes the place and she misses the crucial lift.
The
story unfolds on two tracks thereafter. One shows what happens if
she gets the lift and the other reveals what takes place if she
misses it. But at the end she gets what’s destined,”
says Amit whose first film ‘Jism’ ran successfully in
Colombo.
While
Cinematographer Ahambaram and Art Director cum actress Sheeba are
busy adjusting camera angles and thebackground, lead girl Sandhya
Shetty, a recent Miss India Finalist talks to us about her role
in the film and her personal career.
“This
is my fourth film, but basically I am a model who has campaigned
for major names in India including Levis. In this film I am portraying
as a sexy girl trying to seduce Karan. I don’t mind the sexy
image roles as far as it integrates well with the story. I have
full faith in Director Amit that he will not exploit me,”
she laughs. “I would love to model in Sri Lanka if I am offered
a chance. Fashion is my passion and I love the Sri Lankan culture.
Don’t you see I also look like a Sri Lankan,” she laughs
uncontrollably.
Film
Location services headed by Chandran Ratnam have facilitated the
location services for Take two, while the firm’s Malcolm Mantara
coordinates the production arena here. ‘The ‘Take two’
team will be back in Sri Lanka again next month to shoot some song
sequences in Nuwara Eliya.
“We
are enjoying every moment in Sri Lanka and the support we are receiving
from Film Location Services is tremendous,” says Director
Amit while Karan Kapoor and Sandhya Shetty agree in unison.
