The director of "With Luv Tumhara", Kamal D. Nathani, says this is a common practice in the Sindhi community. That is why he now wants to make "DDLJ" in Sindhi.
"Many Sindhis stay abroad but when they want to get their daughters married off they come to India to find a suitable match. If I get a chance, I would love to remake "DDLJ" in Sindhi. I am sure it will be a hit."
Nathani is one of the few directors who are consciously moving to regional cinema. The maker of the internationally acclaimed "The Hope" has now made a Sindhi movie "Pyaar Kare Dis".
"We all are so engrossed in Hindi and English cinema that we have forgotten our mother tongue. That's one of the big reasons why I made this film.
Post-Independence Sindhis suffered the most. Some shifted abroad, while others stayed back. I wanted to bring these two sections together and there were only two ways to do that, either through music or cinema. I chose the latter."
Pinky Harwani, who was seen in "Jaanasheen" and "Life Mein Kabhi Kabhi" turned co-producer with "Pyaar Kare Dis". Her father M. Harwani is the main producer of the movie. The father-daughter duo's next Sindhi venture is titled "Sindhi Rocks". -Anju Gupta
