Anurag Kashyap in 2009 revealed his dream project that was based on the popular comic character of North India – Doga.
Anurag Kashyap established himself as a successful director, screenplay writer and producer in Bollywood after putting in quite a bit of hard work. In 2008, the film maker announced that his dream project was to make a movie based on the popular comic – Doga.
After much thought, it was decided that Kunal Kapoor was fit to play the role of the super hero, Doga, in the movie. But though the project started off with loads of enthusiasm with Sony International [who entered Bollywood with Saawariya (2007)] agreeing to produce it, Anurag Kashyap’s dream project was put on hold.
Anurag Kashyap’s Doga – The Reasons Behind the Stall
When asked for the reason why the action movie was put on hold, Anurag Kashyap replied that Doga required a lot of preparation and that he and the movie’s cinematographer, Rajeev Ravi were planning on going to the USA to do an internship on special effects in movies.
He went on to add that Doga could turn out to be the costliest Bollywood movie of all time and he did not want to take any chances with it. Anurag Kashyap said that he would start working on his dream project after the completion of the movie Bombay Velvet, which is a collaboration of Hollywood and Bollywood and brings together two great directors – Danny Boyle and Anurag Kashyap.
True to his word, Anurag Kashyap started off his work on Doga and its trailer was been leaked on Youtube and other video- sharing sites.
Kunal Kapoor was chosen by Anurag Kashyap to play the role of the male lead in the movie, Doga from amongst five other actors.
