`I will make `Jism 3` and `Cabaret` for Ponty Chadha`

By Subhash K Jha

Pooja Bhatt's two ambitious projects Jism 3 and Cabaret are going to stay with the entertainment branch Waves of Ponty Chadha's business empire. She is if truth be told going ahead with the the completion of the 2 scripts before casting.

Days after the shocking gunning-down tycoon entrepreneur, a way of uncertainty remains over the film project involving Chadha, though one in every of Ponty's closest associates within the film Pooja Bhatt has decided to maintain her commitment to the slain tycoon.

Pooja leaves the ball in Chadha's business empire's court, `I will stay up for Ponty's movie flagship Waves to determine the best way forward with my two projects Jism 3 and Cabaret which I USED TO BE to do with Ponty. I CAN continue with the creative work on both the projects with much more fervour.

If Waves decides to move ahead with our projects, we'd be at liberty to stay to our commitment. I shall give them two films to be pleased with. And if they decide to not go ahead with our projects I shall respect that call. However the call is theirs. I shall respect their decision. For, during his lifetime Ponty Chadha gave me much respect in our dealings. `

Pooja Bhatt who worked closely with Ponty Chadha says the loss is devastating. `His death affects all the film industry within the most devastating way. He belonged to that rare breed of entrepreneurs who believe in the power of cinema.

He backed me on both Cabaret and Jism 3 from the day he saw the first copy of Jism 2 with us Bhatts. And he did so without knowing who the stars were or even a glimpse into the script, . That kind of trust is rare in movie-land. `

At the moment Pooja grieves not for the uncertainty of her projects but a valuable creative ally, `My first hit as a director Jism 2 is linked to that gentleman's faith in me. How can I ever forget that?`

However another filmmaker who worked closely with Ponty for many years is not too sure whether the billionaire's business empire would want to carry forward its close links with the Bollywood. `His death is going to have deep repercussions on the movie business.

Ponty was the only all-India distributor for Hindi films. He has been associated with the film industry since Ajay Devgn's Raju Chacha and Ram Gopal Varma's Jungle. Neither of Ponty's two brothers were interested within ththe primarthe celebor perhaps That soris uncommothe instanassociated witam i able tfor a few yearisn'would wisto holgoeat ththe onhave beerelated tconsidering; glamorous stars. He just loved the movies. I DON'T BELIEVthe filmsI DON'T BELIEVE else would get the similar more or less commitment from the remainder of Ponty's family. `

Not desirous of being named this prolific filmmaker also expressed amazement at Ponty's death within the macabre shooting incident along with his brother. `Ponty's hands were serious damaged. He lost them during his childhood. While flying a kite he got electrocuted. How could a person who could barely hold a coffee cup be interested in this kind of lethal shooting incident?`
