Bollywood is at its best today. With the industry growing by leaps and bounds, there is plenty of scope for
newcomers in every field of film-making. Delhi-based builder-developer Krishna Choudhary has taken this
opportunity to venture into film production with writer Neeraj Pathak as business partner. Their company's
name is Icon.
Choudhary's very first movie, titled "Right Yaan Wrong", is under the banner of Subhash Ghai's Mukta
Arts–Trimurti Films. "Neeraj and Mr. Subhash Ghai know each other quite well as Neeraj had written
"Pardes" for him.
Recently, he has also written the script of "Apne". So when Neeraj discussed
the story of our film with Ghaisaab, he readily gave his approval," Choudhary said.
Although the producer is new to Bollywood, the film's cast boasts of big names in the industry like Sunny
Deol, Irfan Khan, Konkana Sen Sharma, Isha Koppikar, Kiron Kher, Shhalyy and Aryan Vaid.
Choudhary said: "After the success of "Apne", Neeraj narrated the story of "Right Yaan Wrong" to Sunny
Deol. He was impressed by the freshness of the story and happily agreed to give us dates for three
consecutive months." The plan is to release the film by around March-April 2008.
The film is being projected as an out and out thriller. "Sunny and Irfan, both are playing police officers,
whereas Konkana is a lawyer and Isha, Sunny's wife. Choudhary insisted that the story is not just the
routine cop-chasing-badman.
"It has a social message, along with portrayal of emotions like
fear, love and hatred, all put across in a mild manner," Choudhary elaborated.
Coproduced by Bharat Choudhary, the film's music has been given by Monty Sharma and the lyrics are
by Sandeep. Since Ghai is a great music-lover himself, all the five songs in the film have been kept very
situational and apt to the scene.
"Monty Sharma is an upcoming music director, highly
professional and with a good sense of music. He has got tremendous passion and great potential. His
music in the film is commendable," averred Choudhary.
The production company Icon has chosen a very corporate attitude towards the film market. "Although it
is not very easy to remain a single producer and make films in Bollywood, but I definitely plan to make at
least two films in a year.
Other films would be fit in depending on the situation then. I will ensure
that I make the best films," Choudhary signed off.
