Vidhu Vinod Chopra is all set with his upcoming release, ‘
Shikara
’ which has been in the news for quite some time now. He recently hosted a special screening of the film where he caught up with his ‘
1942: A Love Story
’ heroine
Manisha Koirala.
The filmmaker was seen sharing a moment with Manisha and his ‘Shikara’ actress
Sadia. The trio was snapped candidly at the screening and it was indeed a sight to behold.
Interestingly, Manisha Koirala was moved by the heart wrenching story and realistic portrayal in ‘Shikara’.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s ‘1994 release, 1942: A Love Story’ had Manisha Koirala portray the character of Rajeshwari ‘Rajjo’ Pathak. The romance in the film was shown developing in spite of the political and social unrest at the time. That is exactly what Sadia’s character brings to the screen with ‘Shikara’ which is all set to release this Friday. With the parallels of two romances blooming in the worst of the times, makes the director’s storyline ageless with the essence of timeless love stories.
‘Shikara’ is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Inspired by Vidhu Vinod Chopra's own life and a tribute by the director to his mother, ‘Shikara’ brings back the untold story of Kashmiri pandits from the valley of 1990 and has 40,000 real migrants act in the film.
The trailer of the film has garnered immense appreciation from all across. Loved for its subject, straight out of the books of history to every other asset that has enthralled us with its authentic approach to the culture of Kashmiri Pandits, Shikara is being hailed as an important movie.
‘Shikara’ is all set to release on February 7, 2020. Presented by Fox Star Studios, the film has been produced by Vinod Chopra Productions and co-produced by Fox star studios.
