Danny Boyle has set a trend for the Bollywood filmmakers to follow. After Boyle’s Oscar winning ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ based on slum dwellers, Bollywood filmmakers are embarking on this subject which is less explored.Directed by Sudhir Mishra, ‘Tera Kya Hoga Johnny’ stars Neil Nitin Mukesh, Soha Ali Khan, Shahana Goswami and Karan Nath.
The movie is based on a child living on street Sikander. And sometime back, the film was screened at South Asian Film Festival in New York and the critics said that the story was similar to that of ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. So, the director planned to make English version of the movie.
The director says, “After Slumdog Millionaire, the West is looking with much curiosity at the slum culture of Mumbai. I had no plans of doing an English version of ‘Tera Kya Hoga Johnny’. But everyone who saw it in New York suggested I do it.
Every frame in my film has been shot in the lanes and gullies of South Mumbai in Colaba.”The movie will be released by Jan next year.
