Voice From The Sky
Farhan Akhtar has chosen Kolkata for the film “Voice From The Sky“. The story of the movie is inspired by a novel “Sei Somoy” by Suneel Gangopadhyay. Story of a small boy from Calcutta. However, he will not be filming in Kolkata as the city has gone through a rapid change for last 50 years. The story depicts a time that is more than a century old -1905. So, Farhan Akhtar chosen a small village near Bolpur to represent Kolkata 100 years back.The film would be set in the period when the telephone had become the new means of communication. Farhan Akhtar has given us super duper hit “Dil Chakta Hai” starring Amir Khan – Pertty Zinta before. Recently his film “Rock On” received high degree of appreciation. We can expect a good Bollywood Film based on Kolkata.
Well, the Tollywood Directors hardly make good films with original stories theses days, so I would not blame Bollywood film makers for borrowning stories from our writers from Calcutta.
