'I AM' Is The Most Anticipated Movie Of 2011

Onir and Sanjay Suri's 'I AM' has become one of the most anticipated movies of 2011 after receiving a phenomenal response in movie festivals globally. It has won many awards in festivals that has really set the expectations quite high for 'I AM'.

With a cast that includes Juhi Chawla, Manisha Koirala, Rahul Bose, Sanjay Suri, Nandita Das - you can hardly expect something unimpressive.

The movie is about 4 stories all of which highlight the issues of modern Indian society. The individuals are struggling to find their identity and make their place in a harsh and brutal world in a dignified manner.

'I AM' will release in cinemas on April 29th, 2011.

Juhi Chawla Recollects Realities Of Kashmir

Juhi Chawla and Manisha Koirala on the sets of I AM

Sanjay Suri and Onir have worked together on their latest project "I Am". The movie will be out in theatres on April 22nd,2011. The film is about 4 stories woven together focusing on issues that affect the modern Indian society. Juhi Chawla and Manisha Koirala will be seen sharing screen space in the movie.

In "I Am" we will see Juhi Chawla as a Kashmiri pandit - Megha who was forced to flee her home in Kashmir and come back after two decades only to find her Muslim friend - Manisha Koirala is not living an amazing life even today.

Juhi Chawla reflected that working in Kashmir for the role of Megha reminded her of so many harsh realities. She recalled the security issues in Kashmir; how the local pandits' homes were lit up in the 80's and the fear with which the locals lived.

Recalling all that made Megha's character so real for Juhi. She also said that since she is the mother of two kids, she realized how blessed they were to have freedom of choice and movement.

Well, I think it will be a good movie since both Juhi and Manisha are good actresses. The storyline seems to be quite realistic in itself.

Juhi Chawla says ‘I Am’ also the producer

After producing films like Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani & Chalte Chalte, Juhi Chawla will now be seen as an associate producer this time with Onir. She has been helping them raise investors for the movie ‘I Am’ & at that time, she expressed the desire to work an as associate producer. Onir, Sanjay Suri and Juhi go back a long way right from their ‘My Brother Nikhil’ days.

Says Onir, “After we completed the entire shooting, Juhi expressed the desire to join us as an associate producer. Her addition to our team will be a big asset. I want my association with Juhi to be a very long-lasting one.”

Interestingly, Juhi has also been signed in the movie along with Manisha Koirala. She’s playing the role of a Kashmiri Pandit who returns to Kashmir after 20 years. Although Juhi hardly comes in movies, but whenever she does, it’s always a treat to watch her. She will always look sweet & cute. Forever is the word for her. I think these actresses Juhi, Madhuri & Sridevi – they were/are all very decent. I’m so sorry to say, but we would forget the actresses of today once they are off the screen. This is not so with Juhi, Sridevi & Madhuri.
