Santoshi lashes back with ‘Lajja’
11th Sept 2000

Raj Kumar Santoshi is known as man of action. His much talked about mega-starrer ‘Lajja’ is on the brink of completion and he is seething with new ideas.

He has started giving shape to his next production called “The Legend of Bhagat Singh”, which, the director has revealed, will have national and international stars. The film will be bilingual—to be made in both Hindi and English.

Santoshi has signed none other than A.R.Rahman to score the music and Santosh Sivan to wield the camera. Nitish Roy will take care of art production.

Director Santoshi’s has been a checkered career. If hits like ‘Ghayal’ and ‘Damini’ catapulted him to the skies, duds like ‘Barsaat’ and ‘China Gate’ brought him back to ground. Success of Anil Kapoor-Madhuri Dixit starrer ‘Pukar’ has certainly given him some respite.

His next film ‘Lajja’ has already created much pre-release hype because of its star cast. The film has Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Sunny Deol, Manisha Koirala, Aishwarya Rai, Mahima Chaudhary and Madhuri Dixit. With this mega star cast we can hope that ‘Lajja’ will help Santoshi regain his lost glory.
