Producers at Channel V are busy scripting the first live movie for Indian audiences.
Andaz Apna Very Hatke, a 20-minute film, will be shot live at Mumbai’s
MMRDA complex with an ensemble cast of first timers, aspiring actors and young producers eager for a break. The idea struck Channel V after the celebration of their 13th birthday when they hired youngsters to shoot the proceedings. Says Amar K Deb, head honcho, Channel V, “We hired youngsters to shoot videos for our birthday bash. From there, we thought of having a film featuring amateur actors done in a live format.”
The auditions for the roles were carried out over a span of three weeks across India by conducting screen tests. “We wanted an actor with spunk and the right attitude. Neha Dhupia plays the lead actress. There will also be an action star from Hollywood, who will be revealed on the day of the screening,” says Deb. The film will be streamed live on TV on March 2.
