Mumbai, May 9
Filmmaker-choreographer Ahmed Khan recalled superstar Sunny Deol’s support as instrumental during a critical phase of his directorial venture “Lakeer – Forbidden Lines”. He said the actor “immediately said yes to the film.”
Ahmed said, “Sunny and I have been friends for decades, and his support has always meant a lot to me. During my first directorial venture, I remember getting a call from his office while I was playing football. When I went to meet him, he immediately said yes to the film.”
“I didn’t even have to share a full script, just the basic plotline. He loved the idea, hopped onto it and asked his team to close the shoot dates at the earliest with me,” he added.
Released in 2004, “Lakeer – Forbidden Lines” stars Sunny Deol, Sunil Shetty, John Abraham, Sohail Khan and Nauheed Cyrusi. The music was composed by A. R. Rahman and the background score by Aadesh Shrivastava.
The film follows Karan as a powerful man's brother who misuses his status whereas Saahil is a simple mechanic's brother. Trouble ensues when both of them fall for Bindiya and aim to gain her attention.
