"Mard Ko…" was the opening film for the festival on Friday and was a total sell out. Producer Ronnie Screwvala who felt quite wild and wacky after hearing the story, said: "I knew that if anyone can pull it off, Vasan can.
Though we planned to release in November, but now after this response, we will make it next year." The story revolves around a young boy played by Abhimanyu, who makes an unusual debut in Bollywood. He said: "I really wanted to be part of what Bala was preparing to make. When he narrated the story I was blown away."
Bala said: "Radhika had to be smuggled out of Laila Majnu. As at that time, the casting of Laila Majnu and Student Of The Years 2 was going on, and I had no options left."
The 20th Jio MAMI will end on November 1. The film revolves around a man with congenital insensitivity to pain, hence the title, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota and in English The Man Who Feels No Pain.
Produced by Ronnie Screwvala under the banner of RSVP, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota is written and directed by Vasan Bala. Starring Abhimanyu Dassani, Radhika Madan, Gulshan Devaiah, Mahesh Manjrekar and Jimit Trivedi.
