The
Legendary
artiste
Raja
Ravi
Verma's
(19th
Century)
passionate
paintings
have
mesmerized
most
for
years
now.
But
it
was
the
Award
winning
and
popular
Marathi
novelist,
Ranjet
Desai
who
weaved
the
great
Indian
painter's
life
into
his
Award
winning
and
classic
novel,
Raja
Ravi
Verma.
Ketan
Mehta
is
all
set
to
paint
the
same
magic
on
the
silver
screen
with
his
adaptation
of
the
book
titled
Colours
of
Passion-
an
Indo-French-German
Venture.
Ketan and Deepa Sahi has been working on this project for quite some time now and have already procured the rights for the book. Known to do his homework before announcing or talking about his new projects, the film is going to be announced soon.
The life and work of the great painter Raja Ravi Verma has always fascinated Ketan. Especially the sensuality of the relationship between the artist and the muse which seems to be the stuff dreams are made of. Colours of passion is a perfect blend of contemporary relevance, universal appeal and cinematic exuberance.
The film is slated for a release in April 2007.
