Posted by admin on Jul 5th, 2010 | 0 comments

Luck may have been a resounding flop at the box office but that hasn’t stopped Soham Shah from going ahead with another mega movie project based on the life of the Maratha king Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. It is going to be a big budget 3D extravaganza based on the lives and times of the great emperor. Nilesh Rane (son of politician Narayan Rane) and V.L.Satyam are the producers of this big budget film.

Soham is overjoyed because he has finally commenced work on his dream project. Says the director, “It’s an honor to be a part of Nilesh Rane’s company. It’s a great combination to have Nileshji & V.L.Satyam as producers who can share your vision to bring the epic story together on big screen with the available international technical support. It is one of my most ambitious projects, a story that is the epitome of heroism, never told on the big screen.”

The director will prepare the draft that he has been working on for more than a year now. Two mega-stars possibly, will be playing the roles of Shivaji Maharaj and Aurangzeb. The movie will be a 3-D film, with special effects done by the crew straight from Hollywood. The same crew that has worked in films Gladiator will doing the action scenes for this film also. The Shivaji movie is supposed to be a visual spectacle that will be in the same league as 300, Robin Hood and the latest hit Prince of Persia.

V.L. Satyam, one of the producers of the film, says, “We are happy to have Soham on board, as he has a huge vision that can do justice to a subject like this. Also being a new generation director his story telling will set new standards to our cinema. This is the beginning of Nileshji’s banner and we have bigger plans to take it to another level.” Let’s hope that Soham’s projects brings luck to both himself as well as Bollywood.
