Mumbai, Oct 2 (ANI): Film premiere of Bollywood fantasy-thriller ”Drona” was held in Mumbai on Wednesday evening.
The film is produced by Shrishti Arya and directed by Goldie Behl.
Behl’’s film stars Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Kay Kay Menon and Jaya Bachchan.
Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan who essays the role of Drona in the film said that entire team had really worked hard on the film and hoped that it did well in theaters.
I am very excited and nervous as well. We will come to know in one two days that how did people like the film. We have all worked very hard for the film and I want it to do well, said Abhishek.
Drona is the modern tale of one man’’s spectacular voyage through the labyrinths of mystic myths and legendary legacies. As good and evil clash in this contemporary fantasy fable, a breathtaking journey beckons one into a world of mythic heroes and malicious magicians, of cunning curses and absolute innocence.
Shahrukh Khan walked into the premiere with his wife and daughter to put at rest the rumours about his differences with the Bachchan family.
Bollywood super star Amitabh Bachchan congratulated the makers of the film for its unique presentation and said Bachchan family’’s expectations about it are high.
This is our profession. In our profession we make films and want the public to appreciate them. In this film Goldie, Abhishek and Priyanka have done the same and as colleagues we are putting in an effort that people should like the film, said Amitabh.
Former Miss World and Bollywood actor, Aishwarya Rai looking at her best in an off-shoulder dress sought media’’s help in the success of the film.
He (Abhishek) is a darling and I am very happy for him and entire team’’s effort. So looking forward to Drona and you (the media) do your job and invite the audience to watch the film, said Aishwarya.
Vaibhav Modi has penned the lyrics of the film, while Dhruv Ghanekar has given the music to the film.

Well,I and my wife had the opportunity to be at the limited screening in Colombo,at the Cinema Hall of the National Film Corporation of Sri Lanka.
It was really wonderful.I feel it is a good eye opener for many of the so called maestros in film making in Sri Lanka, who have misunderstood the concept of entertainment. What people need is relaxation.Although someone from Malaysia had mentioned that Abishek was sullen,I feel he has portrayed his role well.A symbol of innocence turning into a force that could fight any type of opposition,how much ever formidable it may be.The great thing is the way all the resources in the film, the artistes and those who were behind had done serious work in detail.It is really a space age technical achievement.I personally like real life drama but in watching Drona I did not feel bored or tired although I knew that it is not a true to life story. I am sure,the promoters in Colombo should be thanked for picking a film like Drona which is no doubt a special one.
