 The much awaited 'Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se' was finally launched with
a mahurat in Goa on November 10. The film which is a first-time-ever
collaboration between ace director Ashutosh Gowariker and PVR pictures
will feature Abhishek Bachchan and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles.
A period thriller, inspired by the Chittagong Uprising of 1930,
'Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se' is based on the book 'Do And Die' by Manini
Chatterjee. Talking about the maiden collaboration Sunita Gowariker,
Producer, AGPPL said, “‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se’ is a film for which
Ashutosh Gowarikar Productions and PVR Pictures have come together for
the first time with their ‘Jee’ and ‘Jaan’. We are excited to
collaborate with them as our partners/ co-producers for this film. PVR
being great exhibitors we look forward to a great association with both
Ajay and Sanjeev Bijli.”
A visibly excited Ajay Bijli, Chairman and MD, PVR Ltd, echoed
Gowarikar's sentiment. "We are proud to associate with AGPPL for
'Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se'. We are excited about the story idea, and
have tremendous faith that Ashutosh and his team will make a great
film, which will be remembered in the years to come," he said.
The film which is to be shot in Goa, is eyeing a release in the 4th
quarter of 2010. Though Abhishek Bachchan has already arrived at the
location, Deepika is expected to join the unit soon. Veteran lyricist
Javed Akhtar has penned the songs for the movie and Neeta Lulla has
been roped in to design the costumes. Art direction will be done by
Nitin Desai while Kiiran Deohans is the director of photography.
