BHAIRAVI-ARR-RAKESH OMPRAKASH MEHRA

Rakeysh Mehra has moved on

He has reason to be excited. Yet, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, director of Rang De Basanti, isn’t quite basking in the glow of the glory and adulation that the smash hit has fetched him. That seems to be against his natural grain.

“I began working on my next idea even as RDB was in post-production,” says the director who currently has the entire nation eating off the palm of his hand. “I could not have continued to live with the film forever. The only way I could have kept my sanity was by moving on,” he adds.

“Rang De Basanti took a lot out of all of us,” says Mehra. “The high that it gave us had to stop somewhere.” It stopped when the idea of Bhairavi, a musical film on which Mehra will collaborate with Chennai composer AR Rahman, crystallised. He is currently working on the screenplay and hopes to set the film rolling before the end of the year.
