Samar khan in Shaurya

Samar khan was a journalist who turned into film making. Three years ago he made his debut with Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye, a romantic movie. Now, he is making his second movie, Shaurya. It is a movie about the army men. Normally, army movies are related to India-Pakistan war issue. This movie is different. It is not related to war but a different kind of struggle; the struggle for truth and justice. The story revolves around an army officer who is facing a court martial. Two defense lawyers, a war reporter and general are involved in this story. Samar spent few years in National Defense Academy.

As you all know by this time Shah Rukh Khan rendered his voice as a poet in this movie. Shah Rukh Khan is Samar’s “good-luck charm.” In his first movie, Shah Rukh Khan made a special appearance. Samar told his story writer, Jaydeep Sarkar, to write a poem containing the essence of the movie.

Reveals Samar, "I wanted my writer Jaideep Sarkar to write a theme poem that describes my film's mood. He came up with Shaurya kya hai. The poem captures the essence of my film. Namely, the biases and prejudices prevalent in our society which tend to isolate and persecute communities and individuals. Jaideep's lines were extraordinarily lucid. I needed a voice and a presence that could make those lines weighty and still accessible to the man in the remotest corner of the audience."

Samar flew down to Goa to speak to SRK about the poem. "Shah Rukh of course being Shah Rukh agreed immediately. He wanted to record the poem on his laptop then and there. But I wanted him to do it properly in a studio."

This poem has been included in the music album. Adnan Sami, the music director has given a musical interpretation of the Shah Rukh’s poem.

So far, Samar is very happy with all his actors. Kay Kay Menon, Rahul Bose, Minissha Lamba, all of them have worked very hard for the movie.
