Films based on Article 370 on cards? Titles already decided!

Home Minister Amit Shah in a historic move announced the revoking of Article 370 and 35(A), which gives the state of Jammu & Kashmir a host of special rights. While the entire nation is divided over the decision, the filmmakers of the country have different plans altogether. Owing to the success of Ayushmann Khurrana’s Article 15, the filmmakers are in a hurry to book film titles on the ongoing subject in order to take up the opportunity of creating a competent film.

Over 50 titles are said to have registered at several Hindi film bodies. A source told Mumbai Mirror, “Taking a cue from the success of (Anubhav Sinha’s recently released Ayushmann Khurrana starrer) Article 15, the titles Article 370 and Article 35A are the first choice of most filmmakers. The associations have received at least 25-30 applications for them.”

The source further added that titles like Kashmir Mein Tiranga, Kashmir Hamara Hai, Dhara 370 and Dhara 35A have also been taken up. “Some of them are keen to seek permission at the earliest to make a film on the event so that they can proceed with the research, cast and get other logistics in place,” the source said.

Making the film on the subject was on cards even before Article 370 was scrapped. Anand Pandit, producer of PM Narendra Modi biopic starring Vivek Oberoi has plans of making the film and also claims to already have booked the titles Article 370 and Article 35A for the future film.

Anand told the daily, “I wanted to explore why one state was granted such privileges. But after the historic redrawing of our map by our Prime Minister Narendra Modi, I have just found the perfect ending for my film. From a film based on history, it is now going to be a historic film.”
