Commando - A Love Story


A title like Commando would automatically imply an action film. But the makers of the upcoming release assert that it's essentially the story of a man (commando) and a woman, who he saves from goons, played by Vidyut Jammwal and Pooja Chopra.

"Action is an integral part of the narration, which you'll notice as the story progresses," says producer Vipul Shah, adding that there's also a good soundtrack. Interestingly, the film's promotional strategy could be compared to Gadar — Ek Prem Katha (2001) and Ghajini (2008). Both were initially promoted as action films, before the music and romantic aspects were highlighted. Vipul attributes it to his lead pair — Vidyut-Pooja — being new.

He explains, "My lead cast is new. And since action is the USP of Commando, it's the best aspect to register the film in the audiences' mind. Once that connect was established, we put out songs in our promotional campaign. We have a good soundtrack, that's why Saawan Bairi and Lutt Jaawaan made it to the charts. Since the core of the movie is a boy-girl relationship, the latest promos are a mix of action and romance with some music."

Vidyut feels that for any film, regardless of its genre, the binding factor will always be emotion. He says, "The story is always governed by emotions and elements like action, drama and music help highlight and magnify it. Commando is also a story governed by a volley of emotions — from patriotism and honesty to protectiveness and fondness — all of which finds expression in its high-octane action."

Commando, produced by Reliance Entertainment and Vipul Shah, releases April 12.


Sunny Deol has replaced Sanjay Dutt, in Shilpa's production debut


After a hiatus from Bollywood, Shilpa Shetty Kundra made a comeback with a bang. Her first comeback ticket was her home production house, Essential Sports and Media Pvt Ltd and then as a judge in Nach Baliye 5. Shilpa's debut production project is Dishkiyaaoon starring Harman Baweja.

Recently it was heard that the gorgeous actress has signed the action king of Bollywood, Sunny Deol, for the film, as Shilpa's production house was looking to cast a second male hero that has led to the delay. Having found its second male hero, there is nothing that can stop the film from taking its flight now.

The makers are now just waiting to get dates from Sunny Deol to start shooting, and it is expected to be in June. Confirming the news, the beautiful actress of tinsel town, Shilpa Shetty Kundra says, "As of now we are resuming the shoot for the film ' Dishkiyaaoon' from June. Hope it goes as planned."

The leggy girl has also signed Sneha Khanwalkar as the music director for the film. Shilpa has been organising music sessions for her film in her Juhu home with singer Sneha Khanwalkar. But not before 10 pm, as her son goes to bed around the same time.
