Old Wine,New Bottle

Some cinema stays with us; but most of it slips away enveloped by the rush of new releases. So when a movie manages to find its way back to the people as a published screenplay,six years after its release,it is no small feat. This is exactly what has happened with the cast and crew of the 2005 Bollywood film My Brother Nikhil. Juhi Chawla,Sanjay Suri and director Onir were in town on Thursday to release the screenplay of the film,at the Landmark Bookstore,Camp. “My Brother Nikhil has,over the years,been used as a part of study material by a lot of NGOs,corporates and universities overseas. So we thought that publishing the screenplay would serve as good resource material for film students and schools. Plus,it also has some information about the film-making aspect. As this was my first venture,it would be useful for aspirant filmmakers,” said Onir. The celebrities also spoke about their upcoming project,I AM,which is due for release on April 22.
