Films like Panchlait happen once in a while: Yashpal Sharma
Mumbai Oct 27 (IANS) Actor Yashpal Sharma who will next be seen in Prem Modis "Panchlait" says such films come once in a while.
"‘Panchlait is the kind of cinema that happens once in a while and I m glad to be a part of the project. The biggest draw for this film is that it is a Phanishwar Nath Renu story and we have made the film in its purest form keeping everything realistic. I m waiting for the release now " Yashpal said in a statement.
The film also features Manoj Mitra and Churni Ganguly.
"Panchlait" tells the story of a kerosene lamp which plays an integral part in a villager s life.
Talking about the film Modi said: "I always had Phanishwar Nath Renu s stories in mind for my next venture. The simplicity in his stories is irresistible and growing up in Bengal I believe I have acquired a literary bent of mind. Besides I wanted to go pan India and Hindi had to be my medium of communication this time.
He added: "The storyline of ‘Panchlait is straight from the Hindi heartland which is the better part of our country and I m sure audiences around the country will relate to it. It was extremely important to preserve the same regional flavour and philosophy upon which Renu s stories are based."
"Panchlait" is slated to release on November 17.
