And yes, its an official selection. The film will be screened in the Un Certain Regard Section of the festival. Its NOT like flying KITES at Cannes!
Udaan is directorial debut of Vikramaditya Motwane and is produced by Sanjay Singh and Anurag Kashyap. It stars Ronit Roy, Ram Kapoor, Rajat Barmecha and Ayan Boradia. Its a coming of age story revolving around father-son relationship.
Motwane co-wrote Dev D with Anurag Kashyap and has worked in various capacity (read sound, choreography & more) before that. And he must be the only common factor between the cinema of Bhansali (sound designer n AD on Devdas) & Kashyap!
Nikhil Advani had signed him earlier and was supposed to produce Motwane’s debut film. But somehow the film never happened. Thats when Kashyap stepped in and decided to produce Udaan. Nikhil Advani went on to produce Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai! What a deserving tight slap!
