This week when the producers of the Anurag
Kashyap-directed ‘Ugly’ left with the film for Cannes Vikramaditya
Motwane who’s also a producer on the project, was left behind.
And with good reason. Motwane is not allowed to take a single day
off from the editing and post-production of his directorial venture
‘Lootera’.
Says a source close to the project, “Vikramaditya was really keen to make it to Cannes this year
with his colleagues. But the post-production work of ‘Lootera’
which is being done on a war footing couldn’t be abandoned for even a
day.”
‘Lootera’ is being readied for release on July 5. And the film’s
producers Madhu Mantena and Vikas Bhel took a conscious decision to
leave Motwane behind.
Apparently ‘Lootera’ would get a very low-key marketing and publicity.
Says a source close to the project, “There is no truth to stories
that Ranveer Singh’s whiskered look for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Ram
Leela’ and Yashraj Films’ ‘Gunday’ is coming in the way of promoting the
film. Because in any case ‘Lootera’ won’t go for a blitzkrieg of
publicity. It isn’t that kind of a film at all.”
Says producer Vikas Behl, “Unfortunately Vikramaditya couldn’t
accompany us to Cannes because we need to get the post-production of
‘Lootera’ done on time. Regarding the publicity, it’s got to be really
low-key.”
