ASA Productions and Enterprises Ltd's 1920 the latest venture by Director Vikram Bhatt had its magnificent Coffee Table Book launch recently! The beautifully crafted coffee table book has been designed as per the theme of the film and gives the reader a feel of an era gone by.Said Producer Surendra Sharma on this occasion, "There is only one way to make a film and that is to believe in an idea and backing it with everything you have got. We thought that a classic period horror was a novel idea. The horse carriages and the mist and the old haunted castle and the lovers and the haunting.....What is exciting to watch have to be first exciting to make. Blase only makes for blase viewing...."
Adds Director Vikram Bhatt in the same vein, "The story is like a tune that a director has in his mind. He closes his eyes and feels the different sections of the orchestra...only that it is in his mind and does not exist really. So he needs that orchestra and with that orchestra sometimes it is cacophony, sometimes it is not a great tune, sometimes it is discordant and then sometimes its great music. All playing in perfect harmony and unison. 1920 is that harmony and this Coffee Table Book is an ode to that harmony. Our way of telling you how we all and by that I mean all the various departments of this film played that one tune that we all believed in....Its the faith in each other that makes an orchestra. This book is that faith."
