Mahesh Bhatt, with daughter Pooja,
is off to Darjeeling to attend a film festival in the Hillsand decide if 'Jism 2' can be shot
there
Mahesh Bhatt will be off to
Darjeeling on January 4 to attend the Darjeeling Film Festival. Accompanying
Bhatt on this trip to Darjeeling is his actor-turned-director daughter, Pooja Bhatt.
For those not in the loop, Bhatt
is planning to shoot one of his next productions in Darjeeling. "I have
fond memories of shooting in Darjeeling and Kalingpong in 1978 for "Lahu
Ke Do Rang". The movie had Shabana Azmi, Vinod Khannaand Danny Denzongpa. That was the first time that
I had shot in the hills. When I was asked to attend this film festival, I
wanted to go and check out the place. Darjeeling is the jewel of West Bengal. Mamata Banerjee has successfully diffused the tension
in the Hills and I certainly think it's about time to explore the hill station
as a shooting destination again. Pooja is coming down with me to Darjeeling and
she will decide if she wants to shoot "Jism 2" there or not,"
Bhatt says.
So, has he met Sunny Leone, who is
supposed to act in "Jism 2", after her exit from the " Big Boss" house? " When I went inside the "Big
Boss" house, Sunny and Ihad talks about doing the movie. But, she hasn't
signed on anything as yet. However, things are very positive. Pooja has been to
Darjeeling earlier too. I will be meeting Sunny once we return from
Darjeeling."
If not "Jism 2", Bhatt might also consider asking Mohit Suri
to shoot "Ashique 2" in the Hills. "It would be an ideal setting
for a musical like "Ashique 2". But again, the logistics have to suit
us too,"
