Mahesh
Bhatt, in an endeavour to find common ground between India and
Pakistan, is all set to produce and present a play, Milne Do.
A collaborative effort of theatre actors from the two countries, the
play — an intense love story between two culturally crossed individuals
during times of abject hatred — is aimed at promoting the core message
of 'Aman ki asha'.
Actor Imran Zahid will be playing the lead along with an actress
from Pakistan, who is yet to be finalized. Incidentally, Imran is also
playing the lead in the theatre adaptation of Bhatt's Arth.
Two
bands — one each from India and Pakistan — will also perform live when
the play tours cities like Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, Karachi, Islamabad
and Lahore to begin with. Later, it will also travel to other cities of
the two countries. While Pakistani band Laal has been confirmed, its
Indian counterpart is yet to be finalized. Sources told us that Indian
Ocean has been approached for the slot.
"This play is still in conceptualization stages. A part of the story
will be rehearsed in India and the other in Pakistan. However, we will
stage the play together on stage," said Imran Zahid.
Mahesh Bhatt
said, "I have always maintained that a movie or a play can be a greater
vehicle of peace than all the lectures we give. Any message, if
communicated through storytelling, touches a chord. We are also trying
to do the same. This play will be an emotional transaction between
industries on both sides."
This will be Mahesh Bhatt's fourth play after The Last Salute, Trial of Errors and Arth.
