Joker is a sci-fi film, says Shirish Kunder

14th February 2012

Director Shirish Kunder reveals that his upcoming film "Joker" is a sci-fi drama, and not a comedy as per the reactions of the audiences to it's name. Shirish says its story unfolds through a series of clues towards a mysterious place that  Sonakshi Sinha is led on to. “The story revolves around a place that has been lost from the map of India,” says
Kunder.
 

"Joker", Kunder also asserts that he and Farah have radically distinct visions, when it comes to making a film. "Farah is very commercial in her approach, while I am more subtle. I can never do a full-on comedy."

"Joker"  will also be released in a 3D format. "When you shoot with 3D in mind, you do it differently. For example, when you shoot a close up for 2D, you blur the background but when you do it keeping 3D in mind, you shoot it in wide angle so everything behind the object also comes clearly. The usage of lens is different in this style and one can create layers while shooting in 3D," says Kunder.

About Sonakshi’s character in the film, he says, "She plays the role of an NRI. She comes from abroad when she hears of this mysterious place, and the story develops from there on," says Kunder.
