Interview
Will Khulay Aasman Ke Neechay be the first Pakistani film to be released simultaneously in India and Pakistan, as well as abroad. I believe strongly that only through the exchange of films between India and Pakistan that the way to the people to people contact can be paved on a large scale, says Sheikh Jawad
Javed Sheikh Qutb Pakistan film will reach the peak of his career ornamental Town in 2007, with the release of its production, Khulay Aasman Ke Neechay, the most expensive film ever in the house.
In the chat, chit last with the old man who is in India these days of post-production work (Read dubbing) on the film, spoke of Chief Representative and Director of the youd at length about the activities at the present time to him and his roles in Indian coming films.As arrived at his residence Cantt during the afternoon, Lahore model, a confident-looking Javed Sheikh and a broad smile and welcomed me to sit between the office by placing his room.Amidst smoking cigars and receive calls on his cell phone rings constantly, and love, at Lollywood shared openly his thoughts, ideas and future projects.
A lot is being speculated about Khulay Aasman Ke Neechay (KAKN) regarding its showing in India?
Yes, it will be the first Pakistani film that will simultaneously be released in India and Pakistan, as well as overseas. I strongly believe that it is only through the exchange of films between India and Pakistan that the way for people-to-people contact can be paved on a large scale.
When is KAKN slated for release?
I’m trying to release it on Eid-ul-Fitr in October and with it, new vistas will hopefully open both for Pakistani and Indian film-makers because there are a number of subjects of common interests on which independent or co-productions can be produced.
It’s a high-budget film as I have invested Rs.8 crores on KAKN. It’s the most expensive film ever produced by any Pakistani film-maker.
Original music and script are two things Pakistani cinema seems to lack. What is the position of your film in this regard?
I have never compromised on quality or originality for my productions. I’m of the view that originality is all about one’s dedicated effort. The music of the film has been composed by the late Amjad Bobby. The film has been written by Babar Kashmiri but the basic idea of the movie is mine. Although it is a commercial venture, it does have undertones of a strong social message.
The word on the street is that a number of Indian singers have lent their voices to the film’s soundtrack?
Yes. There are seven songs in the Factfile
Javed Sheikh stepped into the world of glamour as a lead actor back in the 1970s, and his journey thereof speaks volumes of the success of a self-made man as he belongs to family that has absolutely nothing to do with show business.
Javed Sheikh was smitten by the acting bug at a tender age. He was cast as a child star in the film, Insaan Badalta Hai, in 1961. From 1968 onwards, Javed frequented stage shows and Radio Pakistan programmes. Perhaps it was then that the seed of artistic revolution was sown deep inside his soul. He debuted as the lead actor in director Qamar Zaidi’s film, Dhamaka, opposite Shabnam in 1974.
