National award winning director, Rajendra Talak, is gearing up to launch his next film after a two year gap. His last film, O Maria, had premiered in IFFI 2010. Was it a planned sabbatical? ���������It was not a sabbatical at all,��������� says Talak, who launched his new film A Rainy Day amidst his friends, cast and crew. ���������I was working on the script of the new film, researching and collecting data and planning the production.��������� Like his earlier film, Talak���������s new film is also based on current topic that���������s bothering the common man���������s mind.
���������My film is based on corruption ��������� something that���������s on every person���������s mind these days,��������� he says. ���������It���������s a national question, therefore I have not based my story out of one particular city���������it could be any metro that we are talking about.��������� Does that mean you will be shooting your film outside Goa? ���������No. I am shooting the film in Goa, but not making the story city or state specific,��������� he elucidates.
His new film ��������� whose title he refuses to disclose ��������� is a Marathi film. ���������To start with,��������� Talak says, ���������I am thinking of making it in Hindi and Konkani as well.���������
What about the starcast? ���������For Marathi the lead pair is Mrinal Kulkarni and Subodh Bhave. But I have not yet zeroed down on Konkani and Hindi cast. Will do that once I decide when and how I will make it in those languages.���������
