Kochi:

I V Sasi

was all set to for a comeback with a multi-lingual film on Kuwait war. The script and some pre-production work of the film Burning Wells to be produced by Sohan Roy at a cost Rs 165 crore had been completed.

On Sunday, Sohan Roy called up Sasi from abroad to inform that Columbian singer Shakira who sung waka waka had agreed to join the movie. “He was very enthusiastic about the project. When I informed him that Shakira expressed her willingness to join the film, he was very impressed. Originally, we had planned only a bit song as per the script. After Shakira’s offer, we decided to make it a full-length song. We discussed about canning the song in cruise ship,” Sohan Roy said.

Roy said that the film project to be made in 33 languages would completed by Ani, son of Sasi. “We had planned to announce the cast and crew of the film at a function to be held in Ramoji Rao Film City, Hyderabad on December 1. The cast will comprise actors from Hollywood, Bollywood and almost all Indian languages. One actor will be from Malayalam,” Sohan Roy said.

The story revolves around a family which was shattered in the war. “The plan is to film it using

8K

resolution cameras. So, it would require 8K resolution processing units and cinema theatres to screen the film. India does not have cinema halls with 8K facility. We require at least 1,000 screens with 8K resolution for releasing Burning Wells,” Roy said. It would be released in 2020 after cinema houses and processing studios are readied.

A major portion of the film will be shot in Ramoji Rao Film City and Kuwait. Shoots will also be held in Kerala. Sasi had plans to do a Malayalam film with Mohanlal in the lead.
