S3 Episode 4: Ek Chalis Ki Last Local (2007) - with Sanjay Khanduri
Ek Chalis Ki Last Local (2007) is packed with quirk.
A delightful crime comedy, pulling off one improbable scene after another, and delivered with the confidence that's rare from a director making his debut film.
In conversation with writer-director Sanjay Khanduri on —
-his early days in films, assisting Kundan Shah and Subhash Ghai; Kundan's Shah's advice
-writing ECKLL and getting a small film made in 2007
-casting Abhay Deol and Neha Dhupia
-the film's deliciously ridiculous scenes and sets (Ponnappa's private gambling den)
-anecdotes around making the film and the film's memorable characters (Malvankar, Naidu, Bhujang, Mangeshbhai, Patrick)
-influcences on the film and ECKLL's influence on some of the newer films like Lootcase (2020)
-Sanjay's plans around spinning off a popular character from the film with a web series
...and more!
