Saturday, 1st Nov 2014, 4:26 PM IST Director Pawan Kripalani of ‘Ragini MMS’ and ‘Darr @ The Mall’ is coming with a supernatural thriller, tentatively titled ‘Blue Blood’. The film is about a royal family in Rajasthan and the extensive poaching of endangered species which is prevalent in the state.
Pawan informed,"The film essentially deals with crimes against animals and how nature avenges these deaths, turning a festive period macabre. It is a controversial issue but no other filmmaker has documented it in a film."
The director further revealed that he will put forward the point of view of Rajasthan's Bishnoi community that is known to worship black bucks, among other wild animals.
Talking about comparisons to the infamous black buck poaching case involving actors Salman Khan, Saif AliKhan, Sonali Bendre, Tabu and Neelam, Kripalani said, "My film takes a stand against the killing of animals. There's a lot of subtext to the story,but there won't be any direct references," says Pawan. He however admits that the idea originated from the on-going case. "However, the film will not delve into the specific case. It borders on the supernatural and doesn't touch upon the legal space."
He adds, "I will be meeting members of the Bishnoi community to understand the intricacies of their lives. Their point of view has never been put across in a mainstream Hindi film. It's an ensemble cast and we are still in the process of finalising the actors".
"The film will be shot in one start-to-finish schedule near Jodhpur and should roll in February," he adds.
