Finally after waiting for 2 years film Runway is going to released. I have Special Interest in this film as I was one of the crew members. I worked as 2nd assistant director in the film. Film was shot on super 16 Camera around Daman and Diu Island near Gujarat. Film story is about a local young man (Amar jeet) and girl who fall in love with each other.
The girl (Deepal Shaw) who is been a lonely girl is addicted to the drugs. On a very important day when Amar jeet (name of the actor whose father produced it under the banner of J-71 production), was waiting for her to get married, gets the news that because of over drugs she is in hospital.
Now the hero need money to save his love for that he goes on a mission given to him by a local gangster ( Shard Sexsena) remember the villain from film Gulam (he was one of nice guy on the set) staring Amir khan. Ofcourse the hero doesn’t know about the detiles of the mission but soon he finds himself in trouble as he come to know that he has to kill someone. Meanwhile the local gangster hires Lucky ali to finish Amarjeet as soon as Amarjeet completes his mission.
What will happen in the end you must go and watch the film. Working in this film was a great experience. I had learned so many things the best part was the Gorilla film making.
Director team included Ravi (chief assistant director) and me (Abhishek Bhardwaj) as 2nd Assistant director. Praful Tiwari was actually supposed to be the writer of the film but I am surprised to see his name coming as directed by. Whatever may be his elder brother Mr. Sunil Tiwari (really a nice guy on the set and otherwise too) wants to launch his brother career through this.
We really had trouble to shot on damn Diu as predicting the sea here is a touch job. When in the morning we decide to shot a beach scene we found the sea has gone far. So we all were chasing the sea. As soon as we decide to put the camera the sea will run far so we were going after it. But soon everybody realized that we are almost two kilometers from the real beach. Someone informed us that high tied will come and cover all this area. Then we all had rush back to the normal position anyway the effort to save the unit time was successful as the choreographer had taken few shots of Amarjeet riding on horse.
There are the wonderful memories left with the film Runway. I will always be thankful to Sunil Tiwari (director of the film Runway starring Amarjeet, Lucky Ali) and Ravi Sir who was a great help during the shot, and to everyone who tolerate my mistakes on the set)
