If you’re planning to watch Kabzaa in theaters this weekend, take a look at what social media has to say about the pan-India actioner:
Directed by R Chandru, the film has been distributed in Hindi by producer Ashok Pandit. Speaking about the film, the distributor said, “The film is a fictional story of the underworld and is not inspired by any underworld don. The film ‘Kabzaa’ is a period film that depicts the period of Independence. Underworld is one such subject which has a very good strike rate at the box office.”
Shriya Saran, who plays a pivotal role in Kabzaa, spoke about her character in the film. “Many thoughts came in like what will be my role among so many heroes in the film, will I have any role or not. When director, R Chandru was narrating the story to me, after seeing the passion and dedication in his eyes, it showed that this film is larger than life,” the actor told ANI in an interview.
“When I was doing Kathak in this film, I was like perfect. I really wanted to be part of his vision and I am glad I am part of it. It is a good thing that the country is connecting through entertainment. I belong to the time of Doordarshan and now everything has become one i.e., Pan India,” Shriya Saran told ANI.
