Director Dibakar Banerjee's much awaited political thriller, "Shanghai" starring Emraan hashmi, Abhay Deol, Kalki Koechlin, Prosenjit Chatterjee in the leads is all set to hit the screens on June 8. The movie was earlier set to release on 26 January. But the producers, not wanting to have a clash with Karan Johar’s Agneepath, changed the release date.
As per the sources the film is adapted from a Greek novel, the movie is based on the life of politicians and their greed and has been inspired from Costa Gavras directed movie Z, released in 1969. Shanghai portrays the current political scenario and how a common man gets his revenge back.
Talking about the film, Dibakar said, “Frankly I have been stunned by the performances from our stars and our character artistes. I can safely say that all preconceived notions that people have about both Abhay and Emraan are going to be shattered by this movie”.
Talking of the adaptation, Banerjee said, "Adapting a book into a film is not easier as many think. Whether adapted or original, a filmmaker faces the same problems and the same amount of blood and toil goes into it."
Well, with stars like Emraan and Abhay on board we hope the film creates wonders at box-office!
