Ananth Mahadevan spends his waking hours in studios these days. The reason... his three films Jimmy Shergill-Soniya Mehra starrer VICTORIA NO 203, Tushhar Kapoor-Shreyas Talpade starrer AGGAR and Dino Morea-Minissha Lamba-Koena Mitra-starrer ANAMIKA and his offbeat venture aimed at international festivals... STAYING ALIVE starring himself and Saurabh Shukla are all set to hit the marquee in Aug-Sept.And Ananth is ensuring post-production of the four films goes smoothly. Interestingly, the genres of the three films are also different. While AGGAR is a suspense drama in classic French noir style, VICTORIA NO 23 is a modern day version of the runaway 70s hit, ANAMIKA is a spectacular romantic mystery, while STAYING ALIVE is based on a true incident in a hospital between a writer and an underworld character.
Says Ananth, "This has been one helluva learning and growing process for me... I didn't want it all to happen together but the quirk of star dates ensured that I am tested to the hilt. To focus on 4 scripts and switch from one to the other and not lose sight of the target was an experience of a lifetime... it was a treat to work with the likes of international stars like Om Puri and Anupam Kher and absolute professionals like Tusshar and Shreyas."
