Editor-turned-director Shirish Kunder says his much ambitious 3D project 'Joker' is not a comedy film unlike what the title suggests."'Joker' has some humour but its not a comedy. Maybe because of the word 'Joker', it is presumed as a comedy. But even 'Mera Naam Joker' was not a comedy," the 38-year-old posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.
Starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha in lead roles, the film is set for a 2012 release.Kunder, married to choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan, denied the film was inspired by 2010 Hollywood film 'Alice in Wonderland'. He says the only thing common between both the projects is the fantasy factor.'Joker' is being jointly produced by Kunder and Farah's Three's Company and Akshay Kumar's Hari Om Entertainment Co.In the past, Kunder has edited films like 'Main Hoon Na' and 'Om Shanti Om'. His debut directorial movie 'Jaan-E-Mann' released in 2006.
Shirish Kunder has uninhibitedly admitted that actress Sonakshi Sinha's role in his next directorial 'Joker' is 'cooler' than her part in her debut film 'Dabangg', which brought her instant success.When a Twitterati asked Kunder: "Is Sonakshi's role cooler than 'Dabangg', please reply," he wrote back: "YES and she is there through the film."Sonakshi, daughter of veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha, was cast opposite Salman Khan in 'Dabangg'. She played his love interest in the movie.In 'Joker', a 3D project, Sonakshi will be seen opposite Akshay Kumar.
He has tackled many comic as well as serious roles in his seven-year-old acting career, butShreyas Talpade says his character in the 3D film " Joker" is the toughest one ever as he is having to sketch it himself.
Directed by Shirish Kunder, the upcoming multi-starrer fantasy-adventure will see the 36-year-old actor playing a character called Babban that has not been written by Kunder in his script.
"My character 'Babban' has got no character sketch in Kunder's script. He just had the name in his mind and asked me to bring out the character in my own way. So, my character is the result of our permutations and combinations of acting on the sets.
"I was the last one to enter the team.
It's one of the challenging roles of my life because I am writing my own character. I am playing Akshay Kumar's younger brother in the film".
