Kai Po Che! is an upcoming Indian film based on Chetan Bhagat's novel The 3 Mistakes of My Life directed by Abhishek Kapoor,[2] with music by Amit Trivedi and lyrics by Javed Akhtar. Sushant Singh Rajput, Raj Kumar Yadav and Amit Sadh star as Ishaan, Govind and Omi respectively.[3][4]

The story of the book 3 Mistakes of my life based on Gujarat, so the title "Kai Po Che".[5][6] The shooting started mid-April in Vadnagar, Ahmedabad.

Plot

The film portrays the journey of three friends as they discover cricket, religion and business in their respective fields. Set against the backdrop of religious politics, the story underlines the three mistakes made by Govind.

Synopsis

Best friends Ishaan, Omi and Govind – young, ambitious and restless – are trying to make a mark in the India of the early 2000s. These are exciting times – a new millennium has just dawned, India’s a nuclear power and ostensibly shining – a perfect place for the 3 Ahmedabad boys to start a business that could be their ticket to fame and riches. In a country where cricket is religion, they hit upon a brilliant plan – to start a training academy that could produce India’s next sporting superstars! What follows is without doubt the greatest adventure of their lives, as they attempt to navigate the big hurdles in the path of fulfilling their dreams. Based on Chetan Bhagat’s bestselling novel “The 3 Mistakes of My Life”, Kai Po Che (meaning a triumphant yell in Gujarati) is an unforgettable ode to friendship and the magical moments one shares with one’s closest pals – celebrating festivals, drunken dancing, watching cricket matches together, strategizing on how to catch the attention of the cute neighborhood girl, being there to watch each other’s back in troubled times and to celebrate one’s successes by screaming “Kai Po Che”!

Cast

Director Abhishek Kapoor has admitted that the leading bollywood stars didn't want to be a part of the film.[7]



Production

Filming

Filming began in Vadnagar in Mehsana district of Gujarat along majority of scenes canned in old Ahmedabad and continued further in Porbandar, Sabarmati, Diu.[8][9] A scene featuring the trio was shot at Hatkeshwar Mahadev temple.[10] Reportedly, Sushant Singh Rajput had to undergo four months cricket training under two coaches to fit into the book adapted character of 'Ishaan'.[11] A cricket match sequence was shot at a Sabarmati stadium in Gujarat.[12]

Title

Chetan Bhagat, whose book is adapted for the screen, first revealed the title of the film. Subsequently, a short contest was announced by him on Twitter to create the awareness about the film and its title.[13]

Release

The release of the film is slated on 11 January 2013, a date which is aptly chosen as it marks closer time to Makar Sankranti, kite flying festival in India.
