Just days after announcing her entry into production, Eesha Koppikhar is leaving no stone unturned to make Shabri 2 a cult film. Eesha, who had earlier expressed her dissatisfaction with the way Shabri was promoted and marketed, feels that the film had the potential to become a trend-setter and now is taking no chances with its sequel. Sources close to the project claim that the actress has been having several creative discussions with director Lalit Marathe about the setting and feel of the film.

Eesha Koppikhar is becoming quite a superwoman of sorts. The actress, who had taken a short break from work post her marriage with restaurateur Rohit Narang, is now neck-deep in work. Apart from shooting non-stop for her dance based reality show and going through some very interesting scripts, Eesha has now decided to don the producer's hat. The actress has already begun work on the sequel of Shabri with director Lalit Marathe. The move was a result of Shabri being stuck in production hassles for four years before it saw the light of the day. Eesha believes Shabri was the most challenging film of her career and had the film been released on time and promoted better, it would've been a trend-setter. But in the four years many gangster movies released and Shabri became just another film. Eesha now plans to focus completely on the film's sequel, scripting of which has already begun.

Mumbai, Aug 30: Actor-writer Lalit Marathe, who had to wait for five years for the release of his directorial debut 'Shabri', made under Ram Gopal Varma Production, is clueless why it took so long, but utilised the period to pen 'A Dog's Friday' essaying the journey from the making to the release of the film.
'It was ready for release in August 2006. It was almost like an unending kind of journey. I have no clue why it took so long to release. Nobody could give me a proper reason and now it doesn't matter as the film is here,' Marathe told Ians of the movie that finally released Friday.
The director made sure that.

Ram Gopal Varma sent Esha Koppikar an SMS apologizing for the five-year delay in the release of her film Shabri, which he produced.But the semi-retired actress who has been hoping her heroine-oriented performance in Shabri would be a befitting swan-song to her career, is far from placated.Says Koppikar, “Yes, he texted me saying I must have lost trust in him because of all these years of delay in release.”But Koppikar is revolted by Varma’s lack of interest in Shabri. “What do you have to say when a producer doesn’t ...

Shabri sucks us into the grimy underbelly of Mumbai yet again: the world of ruthless gangsters, mindless killings, third degree police tortures and an autonomous world of criminals and the abusers of power (read police) where there can be no trace of humanity whatsoever. Justice as a concept is alien to this land and the only way to get even is by seeking an eye for an eye. Going by this description, no gangster film is essentially different from the other; but a certain pace and suspense makes them work; and as far as Shabri is concerned, the film manages to create the horror and thrill of the underworld effectively and with conviction.
Eesha Koppikar’s Shabri is no femme fatale but an ordinary victim of extraordinary situations that lead her to overthrow the ‘matka’ kingpin of the city.
