Desi Kattey, produced by Anand Kumar Productions, is set for its releases August 28. Director Anand Kumar says the look of 'Desi Kattey' may give an impression of a gangster film, his upcoming directorial venture is an inspiring sports drama.And the first casualty of the controversy surrounding the CBFC following the arrest of its CEO Rakesh Kumar in a bribery case is the upcoming Suniel Shetty-starrer, 'Desi Kattey'. The producers of the film are yet to receive the all-clear certificates for the film's promos.
"We're losing out on time and money both. There is no signing authority at the CBFC right now to pass my promos which have been with them for over a week. What are we supposed to do?" asks the film's exasperated director Anand Kumar. Now, the film's release has been forcibly pushed forward by two weeks so there is time for promotions. "This delay will cost us an additional Rs 1 crore. But if there are no promos on air, who will know my film is even releasing?" Kumar points out.
Director Anand Kumar's latest film Desi Kattey, featuring Jay Bhanushali and Vinod Khanna's nephew Akhil Kapur in lead roles, is the story of two orphans who grow up in a small remote village, making country guns to earn their livelihood. The film traces their journey, as they go on to become national level shooters.
Kumar says, "I couldn't see anyone who didn't connect with the story, producing it. So I decided to do produce it myself, like Aamir Khan did for the movie Lagaan." He feels that the movie, with its varied emotions, will strike a chord with the audience. "Every person who believes in friendship, patriotism and is passionate about sports will surely connect with it," he feels.
Rekha Bhardwaj, Ustad Rahat Ali Khan and Shreya Ghoshal have lent their voices to the film's songs, which have been penned and composed by Kailash Kher.The film traces the journey of two boys and one among the two goes on to become a national level shooter and represents India at the Olympics. The film stars TV actor Jay Bhanushali and Suniel Shetty, who plays the role of the shooting coach.
"The film does not begin like sports film... it starts like a very raw story about two boys. But it becomes a sports film. It is the journey of a boy- from being a nobody he becomes a shooter, represents India at the Olympics and wins a gold medal at the event," Anand told . 'Desi Kattey', set in the backdrop of the underworld, also stars Akhil Kapur, who plays the role of Bhanushali's childhood friend, Pali and chooses a different career path from his friend to become a dreaded gangster.
"It is about the two boys, who have nobody in their lives. They are 'lawaris' (orphans). They make hand-made pistols and in the process accidentally become excellent shooters," said Anand, who has also produced the film.
'Desi Kattey' also stars Sasha Agha, Tia Bajpai, Murli Sharma and it will hit theatres on September 12.
