Mohan Kapur who was recently seen as a
minister being seduced by the leading lady Paoli Dam in Vikram Bhatt’s erotica
thriller “Hate Story” was all gung ho about playing a jihadi fundamentalist in
Amar Chitra Productions “Zero Line: The journey to Wagah”. Directed by
debutante Gagan Puri, “Zero Line: The journey to Wagah” is based on the
director’s own novel “Black Night: The Journey to Wagah Border” based on
Indo-Pak relations as well as throws some startling revelations on Bhagat
Singh’s life.
Mohan who was always keen to experiment with
his looks was all keen to do this role as he felt this role would give him
something new to experiment with, said an official on condition of anonymity.
He was supposed to be playing a beardie jihadi fundamentalist who indoctrinates
young guys in the name of Jihad and doesn’t mind issuing orders to kill if they
found anyone who didn’t toe their line.
The shoot is going on at various locations at
Nagpur with Manjot Singh, Brijendra Kala, Rehan Tamta and others. However, this
being an entirely new production house, mismanagements reigned supreme as
neither the contracts were signed nor the travel arrangements made in time.
Frustrated by these turn of events, Mohan Kapur eventually walked out of this
production at the last moment.
The film has songs by Jaaved Ali and its
music is composed by Raj Verma. Apart from Manjot Singh, Nidhi Jha, Brijendra
Kala, Rehan Tamta and Sandeep Mishra, the film has Nandita Puri and Deepti
Naval in pivotal roles.
