Sanjay Gupta of White Feathers Films has been in the news recently for more personal reasons whether it is with issues between best buddy Sanjay Dutt or his weekend destination house in Khandala. The news though is that the director-producer has postponed the shooting of his upcoming movie ‘Alibaug’ because the set that the veteran art director Bijon Dasgupta designed was not up to the mark as per Sanjay’s requirements.
The director in news commented upon the reason for the rejection and said,
I needed a set depicting the house in ‘Alibaug’ where I was supposed to shoot. I asked Bijon to erect the set in Madh Island. In his own way, Bijon did a fantastic job. But it wasn’t what I had in mind.
The set currently has an interior which is similar to that of Sanjay dream home in Goa and his house Woodstock in Mumbai. Sanjay was apparently on a shopping spree buying different kind of things for his house in Goa. Those artifacts seem to have made way into the design of the sets for the movie. Being passionate about the right set and decor for the film, in an attempt to ensure perfection Sanjay said,
Fortunately, I had been house-shopping for myself for the past few weeks because I had bought myself a dream villa in Goa. It was the ideal home that I had been looking for in Goa for years. When I saw it I knew I wanted it. That was only part of the operation makeover. A majority of my stuff from my bungalow in Mumbai (Woodstock) has also been carted to the set. With the result that my place of residence looks pretty bare right now whereas my place of work resembles my home. Since ‘Alibaug’ is a very personalized film, I don’t mind.
The movie which is based on friendship and memories has the top stars in its bandwagon inclusive of Diya Mirza, Manasi Joshi Roy, Masumeh, Parveen Dabas, Rohit Roy, Sudhanshu Pandey, Sameer Soni, Sanjay Suri, Sophie Choudry and Sanjay Dutt. It is because of filmmakers like Sanjay Gupta and their dedication to attain the perfect blend of the look and acting in the movie, inspires them to ensure everything fits the bill. This kind of paying attention to minimal details makes or breaks a director’s skill. Such commitment can be observed in the Hollywood and it is very encouraging for the Indian filmmakers to see this kind of sincerity towards ones work. A lot of movie makers can learn the best out of this act from Sanjay and ensure that the audience is given worth for every penny invested in the success of the movie.
