Imtiaz Ali To Explore Love In Yet Another Way; Based On The Story Of R

On the auspicious occasion of the festival of
Janmashtami, Anil D. Ambani owned
Reliance Entertainment and Imtiaz Ali's
Window Seat Films, LLP, today announced
that they will be producing a film on the
eternal love story of Radha and Krishna; an
epic that has travelled down generations
and folklore transcending the boundaries
of culture, geography and tradition.
The Radha Krishna love story is incredibly
profound and sublime, unlike any love story.
Their legend is not just celebrated and
worshipped in India, but also globally. So
great was their love for each other that
even today Radha's name is mentioned
whenever Krishna is referred to and
Krishna worship is thought to be
incomplete without Radha. Millions of
people across generations have been
mesmerized by the Radha Krishna love
story.

Way; Based On The Story Of Radha Krishna
To be written and directed by Imtiaz, this
film is one of his long cherished projects; a
love story very close to his heart that he has
always wanted to explore on the big
screen. The research on the film is currently
underway.
A master story teller, writer, director, Imtiaz
has received wide appreciation and acclaim
from audiences and critics alike, in addition
to blockbuster success at the box office. He
has won several awards over the years
since the release of his first film in 2005.

Talking about the project Imtiaz said, "I
have always been fascinated by the eternal
love story of Radha and Krishna. In all of
Indian folklore I know of no other story,
which is so intensely personal and yet has
such an epic scale. It has been my dream to
step into the world of Radha Krishna.
While this epic will be one of Imtiaz's
upcoming directorial ventures, it is not the
one that he will be directing next due to the
extensive research and pre-production that
is required for a project of this scale.
Shibasish Sarkar of Reliance Entertainment
said, "The story of Radha Krishna is one the
most fascinating love stories of all times
and Imtiaz is India's most accomplished film
maker in this space. In its reach and appeal,
it transcends boundaries of culture and
language. Imtiaz's idea to bring this eternal
love story to the big screen is extremely
fascinating and we are delighted to partner
with him on this journey. We are exploring
various collaborations on the project to
make it of a scale befitting its epic nature.

So Krishna will be a lost aimless playboy and Radha will be his muse. They will go on a trip to Paris and discover each other and come of age. Krishna will eventually be forced to marry Rukmini but he will always love Radha and they will meet and marry in an alternate universe in the climax ala Rockstar.

Bhai. Humein baksh do! 

The religious mess this movie's concept will cause...I hope he's ready 😆

In the finished project we will end up searching, "where is the Radha Krishna that we knew?".

Another flop on it's way. God please give this man some new art and idea of film-making.

Radha Krishna can be told in a very interesting way in modern times. I don't know the actual story but the concept of two people in love beyond marriage and worldly matters can be pretty awesome to explore. A form of spiritual love where the two people are bounded simply by their love and respect for each other, with no expectations, no social bonds, nothing to show...just their friendship and a yearning to be together but reality bites! This can be a pretty awesome story if written well.

P.S. God save Imtiaz from all the protests 😆

Radha was a creation of poet Jayadeva. She doesn't appear in Mahabharata or Harivamsa, the two texts attributed to Krishna Dwaipayana Vyasa. She is not mentioned in Bhagavatham, either, which is a more religious text as opposed to MBh and HV which are part myth and part journalistic. There is a mention of a Gopi of whom Krishna was enamored, but this is not elaborated on.
