 Although an interesting way to make a film, silent movies have been made very rarely in India. Talk about silent films and the only name that comes to your mind is Pushpak starring Kamal Hassan and Amla. Though Pushpak was originally a south Indian film, it was a big success across India as it did not have any language barrier. Another silent film came out in 2004 called Mr Lonely Miss Lovely, but the film went without a trace. However, a new film maker is now making a silent film which apparently will mark his directorial debut. Rahul Kapoor, son of actor Bharat Kapoor, is shooting his debut film titled My Daddy Strongest, which is a silent film.
The film has an interesting starcast as well. Kumar Gaurav is the lead actor and his costar is British actress Tanny Jones. The film is about a 13yr old kid who wants his father to be the strongest but the film basically is comedy. Says director Rahul Kapoor that he wanted to try something different and experimental, therefore he went for a silent film. Seventy per cent of the film is shot and Rahul Kapoor is looking forward for a December release. The film has no songs, but for the sake of promotions, they might record one.
