Nagesh Kukunoor's last two projects John Abraham starrer Aashayein and 8x10 Tasveer with Akshay Kumar proved to be duds. Yeh Hausla, which features Sameera Reddy in a deglam avatar, has yet to see light of day.

Woman-centric

Now the director hopes that his Ayesha Takia-Rannvijay-starrer Mod will put him back on track. He has wrapped up the project in a start-to-finish schedule.

The cast and crew had a wrap-up bash recently. With the film, the director returns to a woman-centric subject with his rakhi sister.

Cricket break

Says a source, "The film was shot in Ooty on a 52-day schedule. The cast and crew were put up in different hotels but made it a point to have their meals together in one hotel. They often played cricket matches in the spare time a remnant of his Iqbal days."

Says Rannvijay who is looking forward to Mod, his next release after Action Replayy. "It is a small-town story and how things affect the characters that Ayesha and I essay.

Apart from Ooty, we also shot in Coonoor."

He adds, "At the moment, the project is in post-production and a release date has yet to be ascertained." The film's cast also includes Gulfam Khan, Usha Bachani and Yashodhan Bal.
