Subi Samuel's 'Alag' to hit screens next week

Ace lensman Subi Samuel's film "Alag" is all set to hit the marquee next week and promises to provide a respite from the run of the mill fare, reports Bollywood Trade.

"It's about a boy gifted with super powers, who heals people and is capable of reading their minds, which eventually becomes a blessing as well as a curse for him," said Samuel.

"He is unique in his own way, who looks for acceptance and love from people. 'Alag' is different in many ways. For the first time in Indian cinema, a film with special effects for about 50 minutes will be released. Also the actor (Akshay Kapoor) has gone bald, with zero hair on his body to get into the skin of the character," said the brilliant photographer.

Though the film is not yet released, the industry is abuzz with the speculation that Samuel was planning a sequel to "Alag".

"Yes, I am very much planning a sequel to this film. I am very confident that 'Alag' will do well. Besides I don't want to follow the set norms of the industry or operate within its parameters. I like doing things my way. I am still writing the script, so I haven't finalised anything. I strongly feel that if you have a good story, nothing else really matters," he said nonchalantly.

Production and photography are as diverse as chalk and cheese. Asked which was more difficult, Samuel said: "Photography is more about creativity while production involves a lot more business. Also, it's a longer process where one has to deal with numerous people. Fortunately production wasn't really difficult for me as I have worked with my friends, people I already knew."
