About Mast Curry

Hi Friends, this is for the 1st time I am blogging...

The idea germinated after I got to know that the person I rever the most Mr. Amitabh Bachchan has started blogging and his blogs are the biggest hits around the world.

This blog is specifically dedicated to my new film Mast Curry

Mast Curry, how did the film come about, we will talk about it in the future posts!

Before that let me introduce the film to you.

The film is in the genre of cross-over cinema, but it is made in such a manner that it appeals to classes flocking the multiplexes as well as the masses, in an uniform manner.

The cast mostly comprises of fairly new but talented and passionate actors.

The film has five principal characters:

Saira, a hooker, she is a bit of psycho with her backstory. Roushika Reikhi plays the role. She is an amazing actress and is a fairly known face in regional cinema.

Kelly, she is a journalist and a model she is Honey's (films lead protagonists ex-girlfriend). She has rubbed Honey the wrong way. Tatiana Arkhangels'Kaya, a trained actress from London and a ballerina plays the role.

Bamboo Bhai, a don, who has been conned in love is an ardet admirer of Saira. However, Saira uses him for her own selfish motives. Ankit Challa a trained actor from Barry John's play the role and given the response to his act, he is already a hit with the masses.

Mustafa is played by Rahul Sethi, he is more of a bufoon rather than a goon. A wannabe goon, he is also a wannabe hero; he just can't decide his real calling and hence time and again, he is falling.

Honey Kapoor, the lead protagonist, is played by Amit R Agarwal. Honey Kapoor is a film-maker, depressed by his life he decides to end it, one fine day.

Shades of autobiography!?

Leisure Hotels, Corbett Hideaway

Leisure Hotels Corbett Hideaway and Riverview Retreat are the location partners for Mast Curry.

Situated in the heart of Uttaranchal, just near Jim Corbett National Park the two resorts served as the perfect setting and ideal backdrop for Mast Curry.

The entire cast and crew enjoyed the hospitality extended by the senior management and staff of the resorts.

Tatiana, a widely travelled actress, having shot in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, England was amazed by the world-class facilities available at the location.

Mast Curry - the idea

How did Mast Curry come about?

Actually, there was this serious incident that happened last year. One of my friends hit rough patch with her husband and she was like “I want to commit suicide” after counseling her for a while, and she not giving in, I got angry and said “ok fine, commit suicide”; she immediately hit me and said “idiot committing suicide isn’t easy”.

We both burst out laughing. Thankfully, she is well settled now; but that incident lingered on and as I was driving back, I had these visuals of a man, trying to commit suicide. Even after a week I just couldn’t erase those visuals from my mind. They were like haunting me.

They haunted me so deep, that within two weeks I wrote a short film that I was about to shoot with one of the leading heroes of the industry aimed at the film-festival circuit.

However, just a week before I was about to shoot it, I bounced the idea to my friend Sarina and she told me, why don’t you make it into a full-fledged feature film. I was like the idea is too drab.
She said “that’s the whole challenge, to make this drab idea into as interesting a film. Let the audiences taste your creative juice.” And she winked at me.

And I guess her statement, worked as a catalyst for me to write Mast Curry.
