Thursday, 28th August, 2014, 05:40 PM IST Binod Pradhan, the celebrated cinematographer, is all geared up for his directorial debut, ‘Wedding Pulao’. The shooting for ‘Wedding Pulao’ is slated to begin mid-September. The film, shot in exotic locations, will serve as a launch pad for Anushka Ranjan.
Elaborating on the movie, Binod says, "It's a tale of young love and friendship with a blend of promising fresh talent. The newcomers have been trained at The ITA School of Performing Arts, with an assembly of veterans like Rishi Kapoor, Satish Kaushik, etc."
Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, who has worked closely with the cinematographer on movies like ‘Rang De Basanti’ and ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’, says, "Movies that we've done together have gained cult status. He has been my companion in everything from structuring to shooting, from screenplay to the final edit." Director Rajkumar Hirani, who has collaborated with Binod earlier on ‘Munna Bhai MBBS’ had this to say: "I've always wondered why he has never directed a film.He is not just a great cinematographer, but also a great storyteller who understands cinema deeply." |
