Some filmmakers are passionate about making horror films. Pune based Mahesh Rajmane is one of them. Last year Mahesh made an action packed adventure n horror film ‘Mukkam Post Dhanori’ with all new comers.  Now, he is busy in the making of another Sci Fi genre action horror film titled ‘Unmatta’, which in Sanskrit means intoxicated, insane or crazy.

MarathiMovieWorld spoke to Mahesh Rajmane, who was more than happy to talk about his forthcoming film. “In fact sci-fi horror is a genre, which is rarely seen in Indian Cinema. My film is not futuristic , its subject is scientific. In terms of action, we are choreographing very high quality of action sequences, which involve martial arts like Judo and Wing Chun. We are sure to bring high quality martial arts in Marathi films, for the first time. In short, ‘Unmatta’ falls under philosophical horror category, a genre crafted by Masters like HP Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe.” he said.

Speaking about his passion for films with such a subject, Mahesh said, “I had seen the film ‘Alien’ by Ridley Scott during my college days and was highly influenced by it. It was this film, which made me fall for science fiction horrors. But, my drive to actually work on a Sci- Fi horror genre initiated almost one and half year ago, when I had very detailed horror experience, in my dream. Since then, I had been working on this script. It took almost a year of writing and re-writing, to be convinced that this script can now be actually converted into a movie. I then discussed the script with our team and they really liked it. That’s how ‘Unmatta’ was born. The film will be subtitled in English , as we wish to reach wider audience, across India.”

So, ‘Unmatta’ will be a science fiction movie, that’s what we understand. Primary Language of this film will be Marathi, though the makers are also going to shoot this film in Hindi too. The film will be targeted at youth, and the work on screenplay is already over. At present Mahesh is busy with special effects work , since there will be lot of work in this area; but at the same time he is busy with fight choreography scenes. He is also busy with auditions and is also looking for co producers, as the present budget is tight. According to Mahesh, his lead characters (a female and a male) should be extremely fit and able to do difficult fight sequences. In all, there will be five main characters (2 female and 3 male), all of whom should be college students in the age group of 18 to 25 yrs age. So, those deserving talented artistes may try their luck.
