Feature film on Garhwal region

Garhwal hills in Uttarakhand are again the focus of acclaimed short film-maker Ahsaan Baksh's lens after his documentary shot in the picturesque region got rave reviews in film circles worldwide. And again like the documentary 'Aakhiri Munadi - The Last Announcement', his next film, this time a full length feature, will rope in local folk artistes to tell the tale of the simple lives of Garhwali people. "My next film will be named 'Under the Sky' and it will be a sweet tale of love revolving round the lives of the Garhwali people, their simplicity and culture," the NSD (National School of Drama) graduate told PTI. Ahsaan (rpt Ahsaan) said he felt very close to the place hailing from there himself. The young director, who was in Kolkatta for the screening of the documentary at the prestigious Kalpanijhar short film festival at the Max Mueller Bhavan earlier this month, said. "My films are a vision which I feel I can better execute with people I can interact with and whose roles are closer to their lives," he said. That was the sole reason he would not settle for any established name while making his next film.
