But this time the medium is not cinema but theatre. I’m going back to my original vision of the story of DDLJ, a love story of an American boy and an Indian girl, a love story of two cultures…two worlds. I’m reuniting two long lost lovers, Broadway Musical and Indian Films. I realised then, that worlds apart, languages apart, western musical theatre and Indian films are two long lost lovers separated in time.Īutumn 2021… I’m embarking on my most ambitious project till date. It filled me with the same joy and emotions that a good Indian film does. The burst of colours, the heightened drama, the passionate singing, the unabashed dancing, a classic story, a happy end. It was just not the fact that both use songs to tell the story, it was much more than that, it was the feeling they evoked which was exactly the same. But the most significant aspect that resonated with me was how similar musical theatre was to our Indian films. I couldn’t believe that this kind of spectacle could be created live on stage.
