If
2006 was a wonderful year, then 2007
is not going to be left behind. It
is set to be as full of surprises
as 2006 was. The news is that we will
be seeing many things happening for
the first time and these events will
sure make us proud.
There is one man who connects two
of the events that we will see happening
for the first time.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the director who gave us
big and opulent movies like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam,
Devdas and the small and beautiful Black, is the
connection. He is set to direct a movie titled
Saawariya in 2007. There is nothing new about
this. The novelty is on the production side. The
investors in this project will be a leading Hollywood
studio; the first time that a Hollywood studio
will be investing in Bollywood. A sign that Bollywood
is gaining world wide acceptance.
The other event too features Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
This time he will be seen directing in Paris and
he is not going to be directing a movie. He will
be directing an opera to be staged in Paris later
this year. The first time that a Bollywood director
is being invited to direct an opera in Europe;
another feather in the cap of Bollywood. The good
times continue!
