As the B-Town is already blowing the winds high about Vishal Bhardwaj 's upcoming venture based on the famous poet and playwright Shakespeare's finest work 'Hamlet'. That's not the only thing giving Vishal sleepless nights. There is a buzz that initially 'Hamlet' being a puzzling subject, its Indian version is mainly set in the equally sensitive Kashmir.
The film has reached somewhere around the final stages of scripting, the makers want it to get prepared and serve the audiences in the year 2014 approximately on the 450th birth anniversary of the renowned playwright William Shakespeare. Being his third edition in the Shakespeare series started up with ' Maqbool ' (Macbeth) and ' Omkara ' (Othello), the adaptation of 'Hamlet' would be completing his trilogy.
On confirming the above, Bhardwaj reportedly stated that he himself has added a lot of pressure. First choosing 'Hamlet' was a task and now setting it up in Kashmir has rose up the tension. Bhardwaj desired to shoot the film in a political and violent backdrop and hence, he planned to do it in Kashmir. As the part to compel the trilogy, he wanted to work out something larger than himself and the above is an attempt to do so, as per the sources.
As Bhardwaj's earlier adaptions were quite a hit , we hope this last edition for the trilogy booms up the success meter far beyond the par.
