Why Did Bhushan Kumar Decide To Produce Batla House?
Over the years, T-Series’ head Bhushan Kumar has made it a habit of making films that is not only appealing to the masses but also one that makes impact. His upcoming action-thriller ‘Batla House’ starring John Abraham has been making the right noise ever since it was announced.
Inspired by the Operation Batla House, which took place in 2008 against Indian Mujahideen terrorists in Batla House locality in Jamia Nagar, Delhi, ‘Batla House’ traces the story of the shootout between a seven-member Delhi Police Special Cell team and suspected Indian Mujahideen terrorists allegedly involved in the serial blasts of September 13, 2008, in Delhi.
Directed by Nikkhil Advani, this fictionalized account of the most controversial encounters in India, is undoubtedly one of the most awaited films of the year.
Revealing his reasons to produce this film in the first place, Bhushan Kumar said that it was the script by Ritesh Shah which attracted him to the film. The research has been done by him in a great manner and the facts have been weaved together in an engaging way. The second reason was that this story needed to be told to the people of India. The case is sensitive and the makers have tried to cover everything.
Apart from Batla House, Bhushan Kumar is also producing a series of other interesting films including a biographical drama – Mogul, a coming-of-age dance film – Street Dancer 3 D, a war drama film – Bhuj: The Pride of India among others.
