Sushant Singh Rajput is set to make foray into bollywood with Rock On director Abhishek Kapoor's Kai Po Che based on Chetan Bhagat's book The 3 Mistakes Of My Life. After quitting his TV show in October 2011, Sushant lay low for a while to prepare for his film debut. He chose to do the ground work for his lead role as Ishaan in this film. The script is quite different from the novel and the movie is going to be more interesting than the book. The movie is slated to release on 22 February 2013.
Kai Po Che! is an Indian sports film based on
Chetan Bhagat's novel The 3 mistakes of my life directed by Abhishek
Kapoor with music by Amit Trivedi and lyrics by Javed Akhtar. Sushant
Singh Rajput, Rajkumar Yadav and Amit Sadh star as Ishaan, Govind and
Omi respectively. The film portrays the journey of three friends as they
discover
cricket, religion and business in their respective fields. Set against
the backdrop of religious politics, the story underlines the three
mistakes made by Govind. The film as well as the book is set in Gujarat,
so the title Kai Po Che. The shooting started mid-April in Vadnagar,
Ahmedabad.
Best friends Ishaan, Omi and Govind young, ambitious and restless are trying to make a mark in the India of the early 2000's. These are exciting times a new millennium has just dawned, India's a nuclear power and ostensibly shining a perfect place for the 3 Ahmedabad boys to start a business that could be their ticket to fame and riches. In a country where cricket is religion, they hit upon a brilliant plan to start a training academy that could produce India's next sporting superstars! What follows is without doubt the greatest adventure of their lives, as they attempt to navigate the big hurdles in the path of fulfilling their dreams. Based on Chetan Bhagat's bestselling novel "The 3 Mistakes of My Life", Kai Po Che (meaning a triumphant yell in Gujarati) is an unforgettable ode to friendship and the magical moments one shares with one's closest pals celebrating festivals, drunken dancing, watching cricket matches together, strategizing on how to catch the attention of the cute neighborhood girl, being there to watch each other's back in troubled times and to celebrate one's successes by screaming "Kai Po Che"!
Filming began in Vadnagar in Mehsana district of Gujarat along majority of scenes canned in old Ahmedabad and continued further in Porbandar, Sabarmati, Diu. A scene featuring the trio was shot at Hatkeshwar Mahadev temple. Reportedly, Sushant Singh Rajput had to undergo four months cricket training under two coaches to fit into the book adapted character of 'Ishaan. A cricket match sequence was shot at a Sabarmati stadium in Gujarat. Chetan Bhagat, whose book is adapted for the screen, first revealed the title of the film. Subsequently, a short contest was announced by him on twitter to create the awareness about the film and its title.
