The Walk Uphill



Hi All,

We are back from a shooting stint in Kashmir. Srinagar and Aru (8 kilometers from Pahalgam) to be precise

People say that Kashmir is not a safe place and that maybe there could be trouble if we film there. This is not true at all. It is all safe and the place was flocked with tourists.

We were stunned by the visuals. Mother Nature has blessed Kashmir with so much beauty, which ofcourse was needed for the film.

The songs were Choregraphed by Longines Fernandes. He had also done 'Slumdog Millionare' and was mentioned by Danny Boyle at the Oscars. I found him to be a humble and gentle man with a great sense of humor. He is one of the fastest Choreographers I have known.

Our Director of Photography, Alphonse Roy is a genius. One has to see to believe what he is capable of.

Now there is a last schedule to be done. 85% of 'Main...Joker' is filmed and it has been a great experience.

This movie will be a emotional roller coaster. The ups and the downs, entertaining as it is watched. It is a simple story told simply.

More later.
