“Today is the first day of shooting of the most important film of my
career ‘The Attacks Of 26/11’. That’s because it’s one of the most important
event that ever happened… if not in scale and damage and tragedy just
in sheer complexity it beats even 9/11,” says Ram Gopal Varma about his
film.
He further adds that the shooting wouldn’t have been possible without
the unimaginable inputs and insights given by the police officers into
this event. The film has a completely new cast and is going to be shot
in languages in Urdu, Hindi, English and Marathi. The film is primarily
meant for an international release and is being made at a budget of
around Rs 40 crores.

‘The Attacks of 26/11’ will detail every aspect of the carnage beginning
with the terrorists taking over Amar Solanki’s trawler ‘Kuber’ to the
killings in CST Station to the massacre at Taj right up to Kasab’s
torture.
The most important actor obviously is the guy who’s going to play Kasab.
“The reason being he becoming the face of the 26/11 attacks I needed
someone similar and also a great actor to be able to portray the
complexities involved and I found him in a theatre actor called Sanjay
Jaiswal,” he adds.
