Desert Storm 2 with K C Bokadia

With K C Bokadia at the Desert Soul 2 in Jaipur

May 28, 2013: This afternoon the Second event in the series of Desert Storm, organized by Rajasthan Forum, was held at the ITC Rajputana. Later in the evening I am hosting a dinner at the ITC Rajputana only.

This time the guest participant was popular Bollywood film-maker and producer K C Bokadia who was in conversation with singer Manesha Agarwal. Bokadia’s amazing film journey in Bollywood began when he was just 16 and produced the film Riwaaz in 1972 starring Mala Sinha, Sanjeev Kumar. He was the youngest director on the sets. He made his mark with the immensely successful Pyar Jhukta Nahin with Mithun Chakrabarty in the lead. Since then, there was no looking back.

Over the next three decades he worked with some of the biggest names in the Indian film industry like Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Rajkumar, Rajnikant and others. He is still at it with his project Dirty Politics featuring Om Puri, Anupam Kher, Jackie Shroff, Raghuvir Yadav and Mallika Sherawat. As to who would be the lead male character in the film, Bokadia did not reveal.

Bokadia said that the element of Rajasthan is always there in some form in his films. After all, Rajasthan is too colourful and captivating to stay away from.

The Desert Storm series is an initiative of Rajasthan Forum and ITC Rajputana in collaboration with Shree Cements and E-TV Rajasthan. It is aimed creating a platform to meet and interact with living legends and illustrious sons of the state, who, as national and world citizens have made their mark.
