The mountain man gets going
Directed by Vikash Verma, India’s first joint Indo-Polish, big-budget action thriller No Means No, which was shot amidst the snow-capped peaks of Poland, is set to release in November 2021.
The shoot of this film was guided in technicalities, by none other than Maharashtra’s youngest mountaineer to summit the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest, Parth Upadhyay. Parth is also known as The Man of 8000 since he has achieved several climbs which exceed the 8000-meter mark, as notches under his belt. And now, even before the release of No Means No, Parth has started preparations of his next titled, The Good Maharaja.
Parth says, “We did extensive research and work for No Means No with the film’s hero Dhruv Verma to ensure that mountaineering, skiing and adventure sports are presented to the audience in the most authentic way. The team will now pursue the same level of dedication towards achieving perfection, in Vikash Verma’s next Indo-Polish project. We aim to bring the real and true essence of the events of World War II in The Good Maharaja, be it the mountaineering skills of the period, or the battles in the depths of the sea.”
