Okay, my
dhobi
is back and now he wants me to hear this interesting gup on Ashutosh Gowariker. The filmmaker was
overseeing some work being done at his office in Khar and couldn’t agree with the gadget guy on the size of the projection screen for the inhouse theatre there.
Suna hai
this set-up costs at least Rs 10 lakh.
Anyway, while the system installer suggested a smaller screen, the movie-maker insisted on a bigger one. However, recently Gowariker had a change of mind. Apparently, he realised that the space where he was setting up the inhouse theatre was big enough for a bigger screen.
And after considerable thought, he agreed to his gadget guru’s suggestion for a slightly smaller, but a lot more appropriate sized screen. No, the debacle of
Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey
didn’t influence the big-thinking director to opt for a smaller projection screen. But then, such is life dearies.
