Surinder Suri, the director of Total Ten, is waiting with bated breath for the premiere of British director Dan Reed's documentary on the 26/11 attacks. The desi take on the carnage willu00a0 premiere tonight on Channel 4, a UK channel.
The film is slated to go under the Censor baord scanner withinu00a0 a few days for clearance.
"It'll be fascinating to see what other documentators have come up and it is the first movie to come out. I definitely will be seeing it," said Suri.
However the director remained apprehensive about whether the hype surrounding Reed's movie would benefit or harm his own production. "We've got positive responses from distributors not only from the metros but also from places like Calcutta, all who are keen to see the three days of terror in the city on screen. However the hype could also work against us. We're staying hopeful," he said.
Another person apprehensive about the renewed hype is lead actor Rajan Varma who is essaying the role of terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab. "My car was vandalised in February and now I also received another threatening letter on June 17. I have registered a case with the Malad police station."
The movie is a fictional representation of the events of November 26. The producers are hoping for an August release.
