And now, after over a decade, Amit Saxena’s Nasha recreates a similar theme with Poonam Pandey and Shivam Patil in the lead. So, what will set it apart? The team shares their take on the movie, which has been produced by Surender Suneja and Aditya Bhatia.
Poonam Pandey
This film has all the ingredients that a commercial venture should have. It is not only about bold and intense scenes; there are tears and emotions too. When the script was narrated to me, I heard it not from an actor’s, but the audience’s point of view. I can confidently say that the film will leave them satisfied.
Amit Saxena
There’s a different twist in this love tale. The maturity with which an 18-year-old boy and a 25-year-old woman handle the situation is the essence of the plot. The film puts across a positive message and has no negativity attached to it. The story presentation is classy and not crass.
Aditya Bhatia
I have backed this film purely for personal reasons. I remember a young Rishi Kapoor watching a semi-nude Simi Garewal in Mera Naam Joker — that scene has stayed with me since childhood. That sight transforms Rishi from a teen into a man! The teenager in our film experiences something similar. I also had a crush on my teacher and Nasha’s story brought back memories of those days. It struck an emotional chord with me.
Nasha, under the banner of Eagle Home Entertainment and One Line Cinema, releases today.
