Yet another Factory release hits the marquee this week. My Wife's Murder starring Anil Kapoor, Suchitra Krishnamurthy, Boman Irani and Nandana Sen seems like an unusual film.

The film, obviously about a wife's murder, initially had two endings. The first was called Jaan Bujhke, where Anil Kapoor's character kills his wife on purpose. The other was called Galti Se, where Kapoor kills his wife by mistake.

The Telugu version of the film sparked off a controversy, and Ram Gopal Varma decided to do away with the two Hindi versions.

The Telugu version did spark off protests. But the difference between the Telugu and Hindi versions is that in the former, the husband purposely planned his wife's death. The tagline -- Ever Wished Your Wife Was Dead? -- got the moralists uptight. The Hindi version is different. Here, the husband accidently kills the wife.

Say Ramu who had earlier planned to release two versions of the same story," Galti Se and Jaan Bujhke were like two sides of a coin. I thought two endings for the same story was an idea that had never been done before. But finally, we abandoned it. The idea of making this film is to show the traumatic emotional journey the husband goes through after he kills his wife."

Anil Kapoor is co-producing My Wife's Murder.

"When I first met him to narrate the story, he immediately wanted to produce it. We plan to produce more films together," says Ramu.

How did Suchitra Krishnamurthy and Nandana Sen apprer in the film?

"Because they looked like the characters to me. I met Suchitra through her husband Shekhar Kapur who's a close friend of mine. She had a strong personality. I remember she had called me after Daud and said it was a horrible film. That's when I decided I'd one day take revenge on her by casting her in one of my films," tells Verma

"Nandana Sen was my director Jijy Philip's choice. I think he saw her in a commercial. He assisted me in Bhoot. He used to work in a television channel before. He came to interview me, joined me as an assistant and never went back to his work. One day, I narrated my story idea and he decided to work on it for three months."
