Ashutosh Gowariker’s Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey, is due for release on December 3, 2010. The movie stars Abhishek Bachchan and Deepika Padukone. The movie will be based on the book ‘Do And Die’ by Manini Chatterjee. It touches upon the serious issue of 1930’s Chittagong uprising.

Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey, a period thriller, has already been caught up in a discussion with PVR about the length of the movie. There has been news that Director Gowariker has been asked to keep the length of the movie limited to only two and a half hours. The budget of the movie is also being cut by 10 crore to 35 crore.

The renegotiation is definitely not keeping the Director happy. PVR, the producers are said to be behind the shorter duration of the film. Then, the controversy goes that another source feels that it is Gowariker’s own decision and he is not influenced by anyone else.

They say it is his ‘creative call’. Another reason behind cutting the film short could be the audience preferences. India’s viewers now only have limited attention span, and they like it that way. Usually, Ashutosh is known for longer films like Swades, Jodha Akbar and Lagaan.

However, the length of the movie will only be a second criterion. The expectations from the film are high, as it brings back history and the landmark day when India’s freedom struggle took birth. Freedome fighters Surya Sen and others like Ganesh Ghosh, Nirmal Sen, Sasanka Datta, etc were among those heroes of Chittagong.

The day of April 18, 1930 marks the struggle of 65 people who started empty handed and then achieved remarkable heights. Abhishek Bachchan, in the role of Masterda Surya Sen, is expected to create the same magic on screen!
