Shekhar Kapur’s Paani poster
(I am unclear as to whether this is an older one or something released after the current revival of the project.. either way it’s worth looking at..)

This is an old poster that was created many years back. At that time the story line was fight for drinking water between ‘vote giving’ poor people Vs ‘Donation giving’ rich people. How drinking water replaces paper currency is the crux of the film set in Mumbai in 2050 and how politics, scuffle and fight happens among people and states in India forms the story.

thanks for the info.. did suspect it was an older one but did not know the rest of the details..

this director’s every hindi film has been different from his rest, and a great one. Mr. India is one of my all time favourites.. loved it as a kid, Masoom always brings out the tears and Bandit Queen was a hard hitting reality..
We lost a great director.. God knows if he still has the touch or not

i have already repeated a few times, how excited i am wiht this film–SK, ARR, HR with holly a-listers (if we believe SK will actually make ths one)
someone said megan fox-bring it on, m8..
However, not v happy with the poster above-cannot pinpoint the reason-not even sure if this is the actual poster.
After seeing this “poster”, it seems SK is really going for the western sensibility PC route with a view to all the moolah and awards. nothing wrong with that- of done well. all the best.

Thanks Rocky.
SHekhar Kapoor is interesting as always. hope he finally finishes one of the may proposals he keeps coming up with….lol
hope paani gets made…
“In fact, in the coronation scene that I cut out (from the film) has them bringing their own piss pots. The courtly women used to get so drunk that the piss pots were put under the table and they used to lift their skirts and pee, right at the table, sitting there.The idea of the American critics is that they were beautiful women who used to get up and just dance. But they just peed over in their dress, man! That was the reality. The food was cooked outside where the dogs were peeing. There were no bathrooms.”
