comic
juggernaut
Malamaal
Weekly
2,
which
is
loaded
with
top
notch
talented
actors,
has
hit
the
floor
on
Feb
17
and
is
being
shot
in
Wahi.
The
calm
of
Wahi
was
not
disturbed
by
the
sound
of
shoot.
It
was
a
calm
and
cordial
atmosphere
on
the
sets
of
Percept
Pictures"
latest
comic
caper,
directed
by
Priyadarshan.
Shailendra
Singh
listened
with
great
interest
as
director
Priyadarshan
seemed
at
ease,
sitting
in
a
sugarcane
field,
discussing
the
scene
with
Nana
Patekar
and
Shreyas
Talpade.
It
has
taken
more
than
a
year
to
set
the
film
up
and
move
it
to
the
shoot
level.
When
quizzed,
Singh
is
clear,
“We
wanted
to
look
beyond
the
star
culture,
to
look
at
a
league
of
extraordinary
gentlemen,
extraordinary
actors,
who
would
bring
their
own
flavour
and
add
value
to
the
script.
Co-ordinating
their
dates
was
no
easy
task."
The
film
Malamaal
Weekly
2,
stars
Paresh
Rawal,
Om
Puri,
Nana
Patekar,
Rajpal
Yadav,
Shreyas
Talpade,
Asrani
and
Shakti
Kapoor
among
others
and
is
set
in
real
settings.
Nana
Patekar
is
excited
to
be
part
of
a
Priyan
film.
“We
had
planned
so
many
films,
but
it
feels
to
good
when
one
film
happens.
More
than
anything
else,
I
love
to
act
and
leave
the
rest
to
my
director.
That
is
what
happens
with
Priyan,"
enthuses
Nana.
For
Shreyas
Talpade,
it
is
a
double
whammy.
The
Bollywood
actor
says,
"I
am
excited
in
working
with
Priyan
Sir
and
Nana
ji.
And
when
Shailendra
Singh
called
me
and
told
me
I
was
in:
I
couldn"t
control
my
excitement."
Tucking
into
pakoras,
dhoklas
and
some
hot
pav
bhaji,
the
entire
unit
is
working
with
great
enthusiasm
in
the
lap
of
nature
in
the
banks
of
a
river,
with
all
actors
chilling
out
between
in
plastic
chairs
in
the
sugarcane
fields,
with
Nana"s
infectious
laughter
cutting
through
the
air,
as
Priyan
answers
our
query
of
Nana"s
romantic
lead
with
“the
only
person
Nana
can
be
romantic
with
me
in
this
film
is
me.
He
is
a
director"s
actor.
He
doesn"t
need
a
woman."
Touche!
