Mumbai, Dec 7 (IANS) Director Kunal Kohli needed ample space to put
up a set for the next schedule of his film, but he couldn't find it here
so had to scurry to Madh Island to build his set.
'I needed to create pre-partition Punjab in 1910 and couldn't shoot
in actual Punjab because the topography has changed completely. So we
decided to put up a vast set. But none of the studios in Mumbai had
space! So my art director Munish Sappal, who is a Punjab expert after
'Pinjar' and 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi', finally built it on Madh Island,'
said Kohli, who had earlier directed 'Hum Tum' and 'Fanaa'.
On the set, choreographer Chinni Prakash is set to shoot a qawwali
where Shahid Kapoor and Priyanaka Chopra will battle it out over that
thing called love.
'The qawwali, written by Prasoon Joshi and composed by Sajid-Wajid,
is a hell-raiser. Both Shahid and Priyanka, though thorough
professionals, are apparently bracing themselves for doing an 'Aashiqana
qawwali' in full public view, replete with references to boys with
roving eyes and girls making eyes....'
In the film, Shahid plays a Muslim boy, while Priyanka essays a Sikh girl.
Shahid-Priyanka had rocked the box office with their superb chemistry in the 2009 hit 'Kaminey'
