Vishal Bhardwaj renames his next directorial 'Chhuriyaan' to 'Pataakha'

Vishal Bhardwaj renames his next directorial 'Chhuriyaan' to 'Pataakha'

New Delhi, June 23 (UNI) Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj who is all set to come up with his next directorial titled 'Chhuriyaan', has now changed the name of the film to 'Pataakha', trade sources said on Saturday.

The movie stars 'Dangal' girl Sanya Malhotra and TV actress Radhika Madan who rose to fame as Ishani in Ekta Kapoor‘s TV show, 'Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi'.

The shooting began in April, this year and the first schedule was wrapped in May with actor Sunil Grover in Rajasthan,while the second schedule is about to begin.They have only 12 days of shooting left.

'Vishal Bhardwaj admitted that the earlier name 'Chhuriyaan' would have confused people as 'Chhodiyaan' or 'Chhoriyaan'. So, they decided to change it to 'Pataakha' which means firecracker and he likes the sound of it,' sources said.

On June 29, they will leave for Mount Abu for final schedule.

Vishal Bhardwaj also praised his leading ladies who have been hustling hard during the shoot.

He knew Sanya Malhotra was amazing after her 'Dangal' performance but he was surprised by Radhika Madan’s work.

He said,'they have a great rapport which in turn reflects on screen. They would have fight sequences but later, would check on each other. The film has pre-marriage and post-marriage sequences for which they had to gain 10 kgs and shed weight as well.'

He is delighted to work with new actors who bring a different energy to the set.

Speaking about Sunil Grover’s role, Vishal said,'he is more like an instigator because of whom the characters of Sanya and Radhika are at war at all times. He does not stick to one profession as some days he is a saree seller and other days selling cucumbers outside a school.'

'Pataakha' is based on Charan Singh Pathik’s short story, Do Behnein.

It will revolve around Sanya Malhotra and Radhika Madan, two sisters named Badki and Chhutki from Rajasthan.

'Pataaka' will release on September 28.
