Bong film to help Shoojit with John Abraham starrer football-flick?

Makers of Bengali film plan to gift a DVD to Shoojit Sircar before he starts shooting
With Shoojit Sircar planning to make a film on Mohun Bagan���s historic win against East Yorkshire Regiment on July 29, 1911, with John Abraham in the lead, there���s a lot of excitement in Bengal. Makers of Egaro, which had already paid a celluloid tribute to the event, are now looking forward to gift the film���s DVD to the Madras Cafe director.
Anilava Chatterjee, who choreographed the football match in Egaro, had earlier sent the film���s DVD to Aamir Khan, who took great interest in the movie. ���I had also gifted another DVD to Ranbir Kapoor during a celebrity football match. In fact, Ranbir and Abhishek, apart from John, are wellknown football enthusiasts in Bollywood. John is also a friend of Bhaichung Bhutia and takes the game seriously. When I read that Shoojit is yet to watch Egaro, I immediately thought of gifting him a DVD,��� says Anilava, who will also be choreographing the football sequences in Parambrata Chatterjee���s next on Shankarlal Chakraborty���s life starring Prosenjit Chatterjee.
The historic event, which is now part of the Higher Secondary syllabus, needs to be relived, feels Tollywood. ���It���s great that the country will be able to learn about what I think was the real Lagaan. The IFA Shield victory by Mohun Bagan went a long way in boosting the morale of the country reeling under British rule,��� says Anilava.
Hirak Das, who played captain Sibdas Bhaduri, is also excited. ���A Bollywood film on the subject would just be perfect. More and more people will now learn about the event that was a significant chapter in India���s freedom movement,��� he says.
Meanwhile, director of Egaro, Arun Roy, is also busy planning a remake of his movie in Hindi. ���We are trying our best to make Egaro in Hindi. Let���s see what happens,��� he adds.
