'ISSAQ' Conquers The Battle At The Box Office!

By Srinivas P


This original Indian adaptation of William Shakespeare's iconic love story Romeo & Juliet is directed by Manish Tiwary. Prateik has already performed well in movies like Dhobi Ghat, Ek Deewanan Tha, Dum maro Dum and Aarakshan. This movie proves to be a new experiment for him as he is seen romancing the cute and bubbly actress Amyra Dastur, who also marks her debut in the film.

The director's maternal uncle is apparently the Maharaja Anant Narayan Singh. Manish's film, which is an adaptation of Shakespeare's classic Romeo and Juliet, has been shot in Varanasi.

On the other hand, Mishra's son Rahul (Prateik) is a good-looking teenager. Things change when the battle-hardened and pleasure-seeking Rahul and romantic Bachchi (Amyra) fall in love. Disregarding the consequences, the young lovers choose to go ahead with what their hearts say. The trailer of this movie is very impressive and is sure to gain high popularity over the weekend, Bollywood biggies like Salman Khan and Karan Johar have also tweeted about the trailer and appreciated it. Salman Khan who is known for his perfect physique has also complimented Prateik on his physique in 'Issaq'.

Prateik went a step ahead and even took training for fire dance and did his action sequences himself in the film. Based in Banaras, the film has a lot of sequences at the Ghats where Parkour; a form of physical activity to reach from one distance to another in the quickest and most efficient way would be useful. Such sequences are never easy to shoot and require skills and director Manish Tiwary wanted Prateik to fit in the character to the tee. Prateik is also giving all what it takes to be a perfect Banarasi boy in love,'' said an official spokesperson.

Directed by Manish Tiwary of DIL DOSTI ETC fame and produced by Shailesh Singh and Dhaval Gada, the modern adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet - ISSAQ - has released on July 26. As for Banaras then well, any two stories which are shot around the banks of Ganga and in the small lanes cannot be deemed similar."

Talking about his violent tale of love, passion and anger, Manish says, "Ours is an entirely different story. Yes, we have taken up the clich's of Bollywood but then did things in our own way. It is a successful formula of course that we have adapted but there is a huge difference in the way we have narrated ISSAQ"
