Welcome to Sajjanpur ready to get released

Shyam Benegal’s film “Welcome to Sajjanpur” has been selected for the London Film Festival 2008 which will be held in mid Oct. The film features Shreyas Talpade, Amrita Rao, Divya Dutta and Ila Arun. The film reportedly will release on 19th September.

Amrita Rao seemingly took lots of pain to get into her character. She played a simple village woman who is a potter by profession. Amrita learnt pottery wearing the clothes which she was required to wear for the movie in order to lend credibility to the character. She also wore make up to make her look darker than she is as the character demanded it. “Being a potter, my character needed to have a very sun-tanned look. So, although my make-up is minimalistic, I have donned make-up to look dusky,” added miss Rao.

The film was originally titled Mahadev ka Sajjanpur and it is about a guy who is one of the few educated young men from Sajjanpur and who makes his living by writing letters. It is a comedy film set in the fictitious small village ‘Sajjanpur’. However, it is yet to be seen whether it succeeds to entertain the Indian crowd.
