Farhan Akhtar is all set for his upcoming movie “Lucknow Central“, which is to directed by Ranjit Tiwari and will be produced by Nikkhil Advani. On this, Filmmaker Nikkhil said that an actor like Farhan Akhtar will be seen in a new avatar in his upcoming production. “Lucknow Central” is based on a true story of convicts sentenced to life imprisonment in the Lucknow Central Jail, who start a band.
About the movie, Nikkhil said,”It’s a strong, emotional and dramatic film about jail escape. It is also about dreams and aspirations, innocence and guilt. There is a lot of hope and it will make one believe in the human spirit. Farhan has given a great performance in the film”
When debutant director Ranjit came up to me with an idea, the team jumped at it. Nikkhil says,”Ranjit came to me with a newspaper article about five inmates who wanted to escape prison and created a band. What happened subsequently to them and what is still going on is the story. It is inspired by a true story and it is a fascinating tale.”
The film is gearing up for a September 15 release.
