Mumbai: National Award-winning Vinod Kapri's Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho has bowled over Raju Hirani, who saw the film a while back. Vinod had kept a special screening for the director who found the story of the film to be extremely unique.
Raju Hirani says, "Vinod used to work for a news channel and whenever I saw the kind of story Vinod did the way he told the stories there was certain amount of uniqueness and I remember telling Vinod why don’t you do a feature film, you have knack of telling stories and he completely surprised me when he told me that he has gone and made a feature film. I remember seeing his film one night, I found a very unique story and it didn’t look like a film of first time director. I have seen it almost 6-7 months back and he was still working it and I now like wanting to see it again as a finished film. What I seen then was pretty fascinating, a very unique story nicely told."
Miss Tanakpur Hazir Ho unearths some hard hitting facts which Kapri had himself witnessed during his days of television Journalism. In the film, Kapri narrates the story of a man who is falsely accused by a village strongman that he has raped a buffalo. The powerful man of the village also gets the Khap panchayat to pass a verdict that he has to marry the victim, the buffalo called Miss Tanakpur.
Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho which stars Annu Kapoor, Ravi Kishan, Om Puri, Rahul Bagga and Hrishita Bhatt is being marketed and distributed by Fox Star Studios and is set to release on June 26.
