Nobody could ever forget that evil night which turned out to be last night for the residents of Bhopal Gas Tragedy which took place on 3rd December 1984. But one of the person, Ravi Kumar who got deadly inspired by the books and documentaries based on the Gas Kaand decided to make a film on the subject.
Bhopal : A Prayer for Rain, the movie will bring the other face of corporate and hypocrisy of multinationals for their geed. Ravi got US actors Martin Sheen and Mischa Barton who really liked to join this universal theme in 2009. The film has also got Indian actress Tannishtha Chatterjee & many others. Kumar said that "You have to remember, 95% of the Film's Crew and Cast is Indian, Our Producer is an Indian...Hundreds of Them came on board as they believed in the script".
The film has been mostly shot in the factory locations of Hyderabad and Mumbai in order to recreate the scenario of 1984 with few critical scenes in Bhopal itself. The film took almost three years and is still in the process of post production by few experienced editors and music composers from London & Los Angeles.
"The film is in the final is in the final stages of post-production. We have been invited to some major film festivals where it will be premiered. The release dates will be decided by the distributor all over the world according to their plans", said the Director.
He also said that the film would not have been possible without the Indian Producer Ravi Walia and dedicated crew who resisted for such a long time as some local NGO's threatened saying that the movie is misrepresenting the reality.
