The vagabond singer Lucky Ali’s dream to make an emphatic silver screen debut in the talented filmmaker Aditya Bhattacharya’s “Avatar” has gone sour with the film going off the floors.
According to the reports, Spectra Media, the company putting funds for the film, has run into heavy losses following the recent stock market crash. With the company going through severe financial crunch there is no option for the producers but to shelve the film, albeit temporarily.
Yet “Avatar’s” director Aditya Bhattacharya continues to remain sanguine about the project. He is believed to have spent a considerable time in researching and scripting the subject and hopes that “it will probably be revived soon”. The film is about re-incarnation of a musician and has the VJ-turned-actress Sophiya Haque playing the female lead.
However for the time being Aditya (son of famous filmmaker Basu Bhattacharya) has moved onto another project “Tapori”, a film about the underworld starring Tabu. On the other hand Lucky too has got busy with Tanuja Chandra’s “Sur” and Sanjay Gupta’s “Kaante”. “Avatar” could not become his launch-boat into the world of arc lamps. But the blue eyed singer will still croon and act his way into the tinsel town.
