We have all heard about Shah Rukh Khan's new film, Billo Barber, to be directed by Priyadarshan. The director dips into the pool of Malayalam cinema for inspiration once again. This time, he picks last year's hit, Kadha Parayumbol, starring Sreenivasan and Mammootty.
Produced by Shah Rukh Khan under the Red Chillies Entertainment banner, Billo Barber is rumoured to be the story of Lord Krishna and his best friend Sudama. Shah Rukh will play Krishna whereas Irrfan Khan will play Sudama. But the film is set in modern times. Amisha was offered a small but vital role as Irrfan's wife in the film. But she opted out because she felt the role was too insignificant.
Shah Rukh was extremely impressed when Aamir took a backseat in his directorial debut, Taare Zameen Par, and gave the brilliant child actor, Darsheel Safary, more screen space. Aamir has done it before in his earlier blockbuster, Rang De Basanti, where South Indian actor Siddharth got equal footage as the star.
Even though Amisha Patel is paired opposite the main lead Akshay Kumar in Bhool Bhulaiyaa, she has been elbowed to the back row by Vidya Balan
The film starts off like a B-grade version of Basu Chatterjee's Shaukeen, changes into a crazy game of Chinese Whispers, develops into a feel-good tale of a father-son and his fun-loving girlfriend, detours to do some heavy-duty Kerala tourism only to drastically meander into a old-fashioned social melodrama followed by a proverbial 'kahani mein twist'.
It is an enjoyable album which tempts you to press the rewind button.
