Karan Butani’s ‘Phamous’ crew held at gunpoint
Shooting for films sometimes can prove to be a dangerous business and none can agree to it more than the film crew of the upcoming crime drama – Phamous, who was held at a gunpoint while shooting in Chambal Valley. Phamous is set in the infamous land of dacoits – the Chambal Valley and to retain the authenticity of the film, debutant director Karan Lalit Butani decided to shoot the entire movie in these rugged ravines.
However, a man barged on the sets with a real gun and threatened to shoot all of them.
Interestingly, the director incorporated a dialogue from that incident in the film. “While we all were scared at that moment, the man who came in with the gun said some interesting things in the local language. I have incorporated that dialogue in the film, and it has turned out really well,” revealed the talented director.
Starring Jimmy Sheirgill, Kay Kay, Pankaj Tripathi, Jackie Shroff, Shriya Saran and Mahie Gill, Phamous revolves around power struggle and invites you on an odyssey that hits your heart and face at the same time. Phamous is a Karan Lalit Butani film, presented by Raj Khatri Filmz and produced by Raj Khatri, Vidisha Productions and Amitabh Chandra. The film is scheduled to release on 1 June.
