Shaitan = David Fincher flick?

At least producer Anurag Kashyap seems to think that of his film. Here's taking a look...

Edgy does it
The promo has risqu ufffd shots like Kalki smooching another girl and a TV being crashed into a guy's head and a guy hitting himself with belt. It has been shot in a very stylised manner, using upside down angles and high-speed shots to bring out the edginess of youngsters.

Exploring dark side
Mani Ratnam's former assistant and Juhi Babbar's ex, Nambiar says, "The idea was to translate the edginess of the film into the trailer. It's a representation of youth I have seen around me, the kind of people I have grown up and interacted with. Today's youth is aggressive, sexual, violent, edgier and aware of everything happening around. They like to explore the darker side and push the envelope till they can be brought in check by authorities. The film is basically about how well you deal with the shaitaan (demon) within you."

'Blows you away'
Says producer Anurag Kashyap, "Shaitan is like a David Flincher film set in Mumbai made by an Indian filmmaker. It completely blows you away." The flick stars Rajeev Khandelwal, Shiv Pandit, Kalki Koelchin, Neil Bhoopalam, Keerti Kulhari and others. The production is a maiden venture of Tipping Point Films, the youth film arm of Viacom 18.
