Madhur Bhandarkar coming up with his next film Jail

Though he was busy wrapping up his forth-coming film Fashion, there was another story cooking in Madhur Bhandarkar’s head. The realistic filmmaker announced his next film, Jail with Neil Nitin Mukesh in the lead role. Madhur’s films always have heavy doses of real-life events and characters and his Jail is based on the renowned Alyster Pereira case. Alyster Pereira was charged of running his Toyota Corolla over and killing seven construction workers in Bandra in November 2006. Alyster and his friends were arrested on charges of falsification and for submitting fake papers to obtain a driving license and were purportedly under the influence of alcohol. The incident occurred when Pereira and his friends were returning from a late night party. Pereira had allegedly counterfeit his school leaving certificate and used it as document to prove his age to obtain a driving license. Alyster Pereira is currently out on bail.
Jail is going to hit the theatres from October this year and Neil has already been finalized for one of the key roles in the film. Jail is about the infamous Alyster Pereira hit-and-run case.
Neil will play the character of a rich spoilt little monster that gets involved in a hit-and-run case and is booked for drunken driving. The case was a chatting point all over and Madhur was fascinated by Alyster’s story. However, the script of Jail is kept under wraps and the cast and crew have been sworn to secrecy.
When contacted, Madhur Bhandarkar confirmed the news but refused to divulge details. He said that he would start work on Jail only after he is through with the editing of Fashion.
Jail, he said is based on under-trials and as the name suggests, Jail is the baseline of his film. But at this point of time, he would not like to speak more about the film. Will have to wait and watch.
Bhandarkar Entertainment and Percept Picture Company will jointly produce the film.
