National Award-Winning Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur Confirms Reviving His Dream Project 'Paani'

Mumbai, November 1 - National award-winning filmmaker Shekhar Kapur was working on his most ambitious project, titled Paani. Yash Raj Films was supposed to produce the film with Sushant Singh Rajput playing the lead role.

The project came to light after the demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput when Shekhar released the script of "Paani". It was put on the back burner after Yash Raj Films reportedly opted out. However, things now seem to be returning on track and the filmmaker is keen to revive the film.



During a recent interaction with Pinkvilla, Shekhar Kapur confirmed that he is in touch with producers to revive "Paani" and he is hopeful that the project will meet its sweet end.

"Hopefully next year, but let's talk when everything is locked. It's a dramatic script about many relationships including a love story, and water is the key to the love story. It's a very spiritual story, for water is the key in every faith in the world", he said.

Shekhar Kapur is currently focussing on the promotions of "What's Love Got to Do With It?" The movie is getting some amazing responses at the festivals, including the recent Rome Film Festival. It is a multicultural romantic-comedy film that stars Lily James, Shazad Latif, Emma Thompson, Sajal Aly, Asim Chaudhry, Jeff Mirza, and Shabana Azmi, among others in key roles.
