The most successful director
in the history of Trollywood Kanti R. Shah is coming back with a controversial
new Trollywood film. This will be the second film from BPP on the same genre – life insurance. About a decade ago, KANK starring Malini Malhotra and Natasha Rai
had become a smash hit as well.
This 2018 film titled “Jeevan Bema,” is loosely based on last
month’s smash hit Hollywood film “A Simple Favor.” In this film, Stephanie
becomes best friends with a slightly strange woman name Emily. While Stephanie
is a responsible woman who runs a vlog and is very independent and self-sufficient,
Emily is very sweet but has a dark side where she wants to get rich quickly at
any cost. One day Emily asks Staphanie to pick up her son from school and then
completely disappears! Months later, police find Emily’s dead body drowned in a
lake. No one knows what happened to Emily and how she drowned to death. Tired
of cops unable to find her, Stephanie takes matters to her own hands and starts
looking up Emily’s past to find out why she ended up dead in a
lake. Just as she gets very closer to finding out what happened to her, Stephanie
gets a call from her best friend – Emily!
We reached out to Kanti and confirmed that he has actually
started working on the script and look for Jeevan Beema. “Yes, I was startled
by this film and I can say that my film will be 80% based on A Simple Favor. I
am changing the ending slightly to have a more realistic desi ending and to give people a reason to watch my film.” Kanti did mention though, that while he is working on completing the script by October
end, he has a very specific cast in mind. “As you can see from the Hollywood
version, my film requires very realistic and edgy portrayal and I need
outstanding and mature actresses. The new young girls like Alisha Bhatta and
Deepika Parajuli are good but they are too young and lack the experience to
play either of these roles. That is why I will only make the film if Natasha Rai accepts Stephanie’s role and Malini
Nanku-Malhotra accepts Emily’s role. I see no reason for these very talented
actresses to take sanyas because these days everyone from (until recently)
Sridevi and Madhuri to Juhi are making successful comebacks. In the meantime, I
would ask fans to please request Natasha and Malini to accept this
comeback challenge. If they are with me, I promise to deliver the biggest
blockbuster yet!”
There are so many questions we have for Kanti on his preferred
star cast. But for legal reasons, we will let it go this time.
