Entertainment reporter Steven Baker at London launch <\/h3>\n
\"\"BOLLYWOOD actors Sharmila Tagore, Soha Ali Khan and Om Puri flew into the UK for the release of\u00a0Life Goes On\u00a0at a special screening in London.<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The film, a multi-cultural adaptation of Shakespeare\u2019s \u2018King Lear\u2019, set in a contemporary British Asian context, is helmed by first time director Sangeeta Datta.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Star of the production, Sharmila Tagore, compared the filmmaking process in India to working on an international project: “The photography of the film is so real and so correct and what I really liked about the film is the quality of the sound and the music,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is so real, and had been made in very real circumstances. In Bombay perhaps that balance may have gone.”<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The veteran actress added:\u00a0“I enjoyed working in this film and I am very grateful for Sangeeta for giving me the opportunity, and to work with Om Puri and Soha and all these very talented young people.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Soha, who had earlier studied in the UK, spoke about coming back to work on a film in London, and on the experience of sharing screen space with her mother.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“I wanted to share some filmography with her. In India everyone always says ‘When are we going to see you and Sharmila-ji on screen, or you and your brother.’ The script was written in such a way that I thought a real-life mother and daughter duo would add to the film.”<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0The\u00a0Rang De Basanti\u00a0star added: “I’m really happy with the film and the end result, and it will always be memorable to me and close to my heart for obvious reasons.”<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Om Puri, who can be currently seen in Diwali release\u00a0Action Replayy,\u00a0praised the message of the film.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“To me, the film projects a multi-cultural society, or a collage of multi-culturalism. Unless we are able to appreciate or have an understanding of each other’s culture there will always be friction, so for me this film is a lesson in tolerance,” said the 60-year-old actor.<\/div>\n
