Rajesh Singh's ANWAR under his banner Dayal Creations Private Ltd, directed by Manish Jha, is all set for release on 29th December, 2006. Starring Manisha Koirala, Rajpal Yadav, Vijay Raaz, Yashpal Sharma, Hiten Tejwani, Nauheed Cyrusi, Sudhir Pandey, Pankaj Jha and Siddharth Koirala, the film is about the story of a young man Anwar, an artist, who leaves his home and everything he knows in order to escape a world he no longer recognizes.

Manish Jha who had earlier made his debut with a purposeful film on female infanticide like MATHRUBHOOMI is now all set with another meaningful film. "I have to go ahead as a filmmaker. I have to learn a lot. I am happy with the way ANWAR has shaped. Making-wise as well as genre-wise, ANWAR is quite different from MATHRUBHOOMI though comparisons are inevitable. ANWAR is a sensible film, which has a very contemporary story, inspired by the celebrated short story Phalgun Ki Ek Upkatha written by Priyamvad," informs Manish.

Rajesh Singh who is basically into construction business asserts that he is into a mode of experimenting as a film producer. "I liked the subject when Manish Jha narrated it to me. With ANWAR, I have learnt the art of making film in a budget."

Let’s wait and watch for ANWAR coming soon on 29th December, 2006.
