MUMBAI: Having shifted its focus from core music distribution to film production, one of the oldest music labels in the country Saregama India has partnered with Life OK to produce their first Savdhaan India film as part of the UP fights back special series.

Following the success of Savdhaan India – India Fights Back, the real life docu drama on Life OK, the series has now made its first movie slated to premiere on the channel on 2 June at 6pm and 10pm.

Commenting on the film, Saregama India Ltd business head Manish Popat said, “We are very proud that amongst various producers, the channel Life OK chose us to produce the first Savdhaan India Maha movie. I am sure we are doing some things right during the production of Savdhaan India that the channel has given us this opportunity and we as always will deliver a good product. We are looking forward to many more movies.”

The film encourages the common man to raise his voice and fight back, and features Siddhant Karnik as Karan, Falak Naaz as Gauri, Aakash Sinha as Babban and Sanjay Sonu as Ranjan. It is directed by Supavitra Babul.

It has been adapted from a real life incident, and revolves around a commando Karan, who single handedly fights a dacoit Babban and his gang, to save passengers in the compartment from his terror loot. But he loses his fiancé Gauri to Babban's fancy. The journey that begins in the train ends up in the jungles where Babban has escaped with his loot and Gauri. A badly bruised Karan follows the tracks to reach the dacoit and his lady love.

“I am glad that, through the first Savdhaan film, Life OK has opened the gates to realistic crime action thriller genre and it couldn’t have been a better production house than Saregama for the first task. I am looking forward to making more such films and entertain a larger audience across the country,” said Babul.

Being an action thriller, the film was stated to be a challenging project for the creative and directorial team. It was adapted, developed and put into direction within 10 days of channel approval.

Saregama creative director Sachin Mohite said, “It is a great opportunity and we are enjoying every bit of its making. I am happy that the task has been bestowed upon us and the channel has trust on our creative design. We are making a two hour film in less than 20 days from start to finish which is quite a challenge, considering the cinematic thought behind it. We are already visualizing a great response from viewers on the film and are hopeful it will generate more opportunities for us to make many more telefilms.”
