Super Cassettes Industries magnum opus production, Chandramukhi, to be remade in Hindi and directed by Priyadarshan, will be budgeted at Rs 30 crores plus,
according to its managing director, Bhushan Kumar. “It will be our biggest production till date and also the first solo T-series production. The film will be replete with some of the best production values in keeping with its original version and will be shot entirely in Rajasthan,” Bhushan Kumar recently revealed. The rights of the film, which begins shooting in February 2007, were acquired by Super Cassettes at a whopping price a few months ago.
Kumar further added that the Priyadarshan was eager to give the film his best shot. “He wants to put his heart and soul into it and is eagerly looking forward to commencing the shooting. We have full confidence that Priyadarshan will do justice to the subject,” he said.
Chandramukhi stars Shiney Ahuja and Vidya Balan in the lead roles. It may be recalled that the original Tamil superhit starring Rajinikanth and Jyotika, did a record business when it was released, with several buyers vying with each other for its re-making rights.
Super Cassettes is also gearing up for its other production, a film to be directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s sister, Bela Sehgal. Sehgal had earlier confirmed a film with T-series but the project was kept on hold as she was busy working on Bhansali’s film, Saawariyan, which is being edited by her. “This film will also be budgeted in the range of 30-35 crores,” Bhushan Kumar informs, adding that Supercassettes was planning to go full steam with its production plans.
